I was going to pop in with the same thought. Even still, looking at those numbers, going 200 for 269 is crazy. New coach or not, that's gotta be among the best runs/rates for any team in history.

You gotta read the room and understand the context. Someone brings up a thought/question casually on lemmy, it's gonna make you sound super self-impressed and generally naive to respond as though you're the one who (or anyone at all) is going to get that thread to a global solution for an incredibly difficult issue that people are already working on. Everyone is just spitballing for fun and curious if any novel thoughts will get tossed around in a thread, so when you reapond to someone highlighting an issue by saying "okay, so what's the solution" as though people aren't already thinking of that or wouldn't have included it in the comment if there was one, it isn't productive, it ignores the intention of the comment, and it makes you sound like the crappy boss in a bad movie. What is expected? Someone to say, "The solution? I hadn't thought about that! The whole thing is cracked! Invaluable contribution!" In the end, there's just a huge difference between saying something like "That's interesting, I wonder what the biggest obstacles are" and "Okay, I approve of your thoughts, and I know thats important to everyone, but they are incomplete, which you likely didn't notice. Let me help you with the next step by asking, what's the next step, which, beside offering great insight, is surely the type of conversation you were looking for in this thread."

Okay, so your potential contribution is to phrase your questions and responses in the most patronizing possible way, as though we're in a boardroom with you at the head of the mahogany table, and pretend that much smarter people aren't already working on this and coming to more complex, detailed obstacles and solutions. I don't like the idea. As for logistics, I am trying to think about if there is a way to solve a complex issue that has vexed generations and touches nearly every global industry, in a lemmy thread based on a showerthought.

No way, never. That's just not who I am.

A "little bit" doesn't begin to cover it...

Thats not what they mean by slappin the bass

The article says in the first sentence that the website was selling toxic compounds to people at risk of self harm, and explains after that "The probe is part of international inquiries sparked by the arrest of Canadian Kenneth Law, who has been charged with two counts of counselling and aiding suicide."

Ah thank you, I'd somehow missed. Much appreciated!

But isn't the comment from 2012? I didn't know if there was a specific connection or reference in it

What's the context for the capped 4chan comment?

For sure dancing baby. Was shared as an attachment on emails even before YouTube was a thing

But apparently this is actually in Yemen and part of a piece by surf journalist Chas Smith

There's one break that is relatively solid and famous in the region, about 120km from Tripoli

I think he probably meant laserdiscs

TIL I am an unhealthy cow

Didn't assume, I explicitly said "any other religion or belief," and used the example of Christians based on overwhelming statistical prevalence in Ireland, where this photo was taken. Nice try to deflect, though.

So can we use any quote from any Christian person (hundreds of years ago or today) to accurately sum up the beliefs and nature of all Christians? Or of any religion/belief? If so, I gotta tell you, Christianity isn't gonna come out looking so hot once we break out the quote books...

Captain Kirk, you're my hero

Question for clarity, does it's levation have anything to do with whether or not it's a superconductor?

Hugely appreciated, just picked some up and can't wait to try it out
