I hereby propose the Lemmy Institute of Memetics where we will experiment with meme mutations and see which evolutions have the most mental stickiness and sharability.

Sadly it is in one respect only: financial services.
And that’s the only reason why they’re interested; so the City (of London, not Greater London) has more freedom to invest into these AI start-ups and get their big payout when they grow large enough to move head office to the US.
Sir, this is c/mildlyinfuriating, let me whinge in peace.
Excellent, I’ll buy us all a round if you find us a booth 😊
Good vibes and deep meaningful conversations.
Yes. It’s so common that it’s been a well known joke in the UK for the last 16 years: The “Man” Drawer.
Why precisely 8 zip ties? Only a few things need securing?
Thank god you didn’t ask them if you could borrow a rubber.
UK English: Eraser.
US English: Condom.
Just four more years and then his papers get released. I can’t wait for the juicy details!
Agreed. Perhaps the best implementation is a highly integrated mix of Mastodon and Lemmy where Mastodon is used for general discussion and news and Lemmy is used for organising communities around subjects like politics and religion.
I like this idea.
Twitter was supposed to be the “online town hall”. And online public spaces are not publicly owned, they’re run by private companies that can ban you at their own whims.
With each country having their own federated platforms, they can truly act as online public spaces where the usual laws apply as they would do offline.
You’d need to employ thousands of moderators though if everyone was online but honestly I think it’s worth it.
But don’t be handing out prison sentences for posting stupid shit. Online harassment and calls for violence can still be legally handled the same way they are offline, but jailing people for offensive jokes and stupid hot takes is just idiotic.
Best way is temporary bans increasing exponentially in length, then small percentage of income fines again increasing exponentially.
Also, and I’d argue we already need this, a court system for online crimes. This means the regular court system doesn’t get more workload added on to it and specialist judges and lawyers can be appointed.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but:
It’s ok.
You took action to remedy the immediate problem. That’s a huge step.
Now you’re grieving for the current state and how it could have gotten this bad. It’s ok to cry and accept that your past self made mistakes, when you’re able to you should forgive your past self. Take as long as you need to do that.
What comes next is getting to your feet and just fix it up a little. Doesn’t have to be a lot and it won’t all get done overnight. All that’s needed is just 1% everyday. It’s ok to take a break, it’s ok to go slower, but a little progress everyday and you’ll get there.
The Mail has less utility than toilet paper.
MATLAB: And I took that personally.
Same reason here, my 3rd party app was BaconReader and now using Connect. I didn’t know Connect had an auto hide feature, I’ll have to check that out.
How the fuck are you spending 10 quid on spices?! You can get a good few for 5 at Lidl or Aldi.
Also, having been someone that poor, people in that position should understand spices and at least have a few of them because it was one of the few things that kept me going that at least my toast and tinned veg & hotdog pasta both had some flavour.
It’s ok, not every social event is going to go well and most of the time it’s nothing personal, we’re all just kind of bumbling along through the confusing and absurd reality that is life.
May I join this group hug?
A good mattress: you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping, it needs to be comfortable.
Footwear: the rest of the time your footwear is what separates you from the ground. Invest in practical, good quality, and repairable/hard-wearing footwear.
“Please use legal paid services” yeah I would if
I think this humanoid robot will be Elon’s 'Sinclair C5" moment.
Now listen here you little shit…
