You need to stop thinking laws are inviolable writ handed down from God. We’re all playing a game of shared make believe where the rules are only strong as the collective will to enforce them. That will doesn’t appear to be sufficient so he can likely do what he wants.

Wait until you look up the definition of transubstantiation.

The key is you have to make a specific plan rather than hope the other person takes initiative.

Maybe, but my opinion is borne out of experience. Having to drive 40+ minutes for groceries, running a generator for power, a water pump to get running water, and shitting in an outhouse gets old.

Also, people are nice if you aren’t a shut in. I like being able to wander over to friends’ house without it being that much of a hassle.

Cabins are for vacations. Living in a city is way better than living in the boonies for day to day life.

In that uncle’s own mind, I guess. This is the uncle’s equivalent of a Minion meme.

Have you considered that those people also aren’t actually offended by it, but just think it’s lame? This is the kind of comic I would expect to be shared by an uncle on Facebook.

What are you saying? You can think it’s not a very funny comic without being offended by it. “Man enjoys blowjob” is not exactly cutting edge humour.

“Oh damn, the point I was trying to make is very dumb. If I accuse people of not understanding it I can instead pretend to be very smart!”

Try understanding the point of my comment. The comic is about as spicy as margarine.

Spicy? This is the most boomer ass comic I’ve seen in a minute. She’s even smoking in a bar. It probably literally is a boomer-aged comic.

Tabasco or some other hot sauce in the pizza sauce would be a lot more ideal, but on top is acceptable if that’s what’s available.

But that person only commented once.

Macho Man also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.

A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?

You don’t have to take Russia’s word on it. USA and Russia inspected each other’s nuclear arsenal as part of the New START treaty until the beginning of covid.

This is less a reason to use Lemmy or MBin over the other specifically: One of the great features of the fediverse is that the content is not siloed off behind one interface. Usage and development can happen on both and any number of other interfaces and all of them will have access to the same content (barring federation issues, but that should become less of an issue as ActivityPub and various interfaces mature).

As for there being enough people to populate interface specific communities/magazines/whatever, you can’t take a snapshot of today and project that into the future statically. The fediverse population is still relatively low compared to commercial social networking sites, but there is enough of a core userbase for new people to accrete onto over the course of time. There is a potential future where the user base flips, or doesn’t but both Lemmy and MBin have large userbases, or another interface that doesn’t even exist yet takes off and becomes larger than both. But it doesn’t really matter because all that’s happening in those cases is people are being offered different ways of accessing the same content that better match their preference.

Bringing it back to the original point, that the content is not siloed means development on various interfaces can happen concurrently to make things not necessarily better than each other, but more suited to different tastes. You aren’t locked into whatever Reddit, or Twitter, or whatever decides the interface should look like.

That’s the joke.

The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It’s worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.

What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.

What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

No way that wasn’t intentional. They could have off centred it even just a bit to ruin the effect if they wanted.
