  • They make that peanut butter and jelly combo jar but it’s not fully blended like this. I could have sworn there was a squeeze version with both too back in the day but I can’t find evidence.

  • Abbott grants Daniel Perry pardon in murder of Black Lives Matter protester | Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is pardoning Daniel Perry, the former Army sergeant convicted in the fatal shooting
  • Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,” he said in a statement. “I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.

    pesky juries and DAs thinking they have legal authority!

  • UK Home Office revokes visa of Palestinian student after protest speech
  • But in a response to her visa application, the Home Office told Ashkar that it had been denied on the grounds that granting it would "harm the public interest", without giving any further reasons or explanation.

    Either ya understand why most women pick the 🐻 or you are the 🐻.
  • I hope it makes some men (looking at the commenters on r/tinder who speak in terms of a marketplace) understand that they aren’t necessarily competing with other men, they’re also competing with the null hypothesis: Would she rather be alone (or with a bear).

  • Women of Lemmy Can a Guy be too muscular to be attractive?
  • Even though we generalize that we’re attracted to categories like men and women I think most people are only attracted to a handful of singular people rather than a whole gender (or a more muscled or less muscled subset of one).

  • Need star wars knowledge support re both sides being in weapons manufacturing/trade causing perpetual war

    I have only seen the movies once each but I have a vague memory of it being part of the plot in The Last Jedi. Am I remembering wrong?

    [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers?
  • This is not a right wing resource, but if you’re interested in learning about the arguments and historical evolution of ideas that underpin economic liberalism/neoliberalism, I highly recommend Geoff Mann’s Disassembly required : a field guide to actually existing capitalism. It’s concise, relatively short, and treats the ‘other’ side like rational actors (which is important for understanding, I think).

    Ofc this would only help understand people who are quite well informed.

    It was once normal for economists to imagine a world with less work. What happened?

    Ideas for setting up a media server compatible with xbox viewing?

    I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software) and have been ingesting TV shows, games, and movies primarily from an xbox using various paid streaming apps for like 15 years. As streaming costs go up I’ve wanted to set up a media server compatible with playing stuff from the xbox and have had some friends suggest Plex so that we could potentially share media. People here seem partial to Jellyfin but the internet seems to feel it doesn’t work smoothly with xbox (buggy app/integration). Any suggestions for the most elegant setup possible for hosting a home server for streaming TV shows and movies from xbox?

    Developers of Fedi, have you been asked to implement functions that clearly reduce the functionality of the app or website you contribute to? How do you handle it?

    I have a sense of how these decisions look in the board room— just curious what they look/feel like on implementation given that people presumably don’t enjoy putting in effort to make a thing worse, obviously don’t dox yourself and get in trouble at work!

    The frequency and duration of ad breaks is beginning to make me feel like I’m in that black mirror episode where they had to pay to stop ads from constantly playing.

    I definitely consume too much dystopian content to be a fair dystopian barometer, but the sheer amount of ads being pushed my way is starting to make me feel legitimately anxious. It feels like a techno-dystopia where all of the neat and artistic elements have been extracted and then ground into dust for our corporate overlords. Even the ‘regular’ people are just trying to sell themselves. The streamers, the funny videos, the pet videos, the porn, the reposts of all of those, so much of it is just monetizing my attention.

    Do ads even influence people that much? Does anyone even eat Church’s Chicken?! Do people consider switching their car insurance? I though the postmoderns were jumping the gun a little with the pictures they painted of a future with corporate logos and other advertisements spread across every visible surface, but now I have to see 5 ads and a cookie consent pop up to look up a quick definition. Watching a friend’s youtube video? 30 seconds of rapidfire ads from 15 brands. It’s starting to feel absurd. Are we going to be okay?

    Feddites who live in countries with elections, do you generally feel morally responsible for your government’s actions? Why/Whynot?

    Exaggerated and made up example of what I’m curious about:

    My country has legitimate elections. When my government wrongly convicts someone I feel as if I have personally wronged that person by voting for the person who appointed the judge. God will judge both me and the judge for it.

    Cross posting norms and etiquette?

    I still don’t really understand crossposting or the multiple link options on kbin. What should kbin users know about crossposting and linking?
