That’s the power of monopoly baybeeeee!

Fuuuuuuuuck I was about to blindly post “I’ll bet 10 grand it was a Boeing.” Ofc it’s a Boeing rofl. Look guys the Boeing shareholder meeting is coming to town 🎪🤡 🐘🤡🎩!!!

I actually cannot imagine being an engineer and willingly taking a job at Boeing. “Yeah so I paid for my degree and don’t actually have any engineering skills. Perfect you’re hired.”

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. This begs the question, what even is true level?

No don’t listen to this guy. You joke stands firm and tall in the land of absurd punctuation and capitalization.

Do not ever become reliant on the crutch of /s. /S is for the comedically weak. It is false humor that can at best lead only to a light chuckle. If your joke needs /s in order to be a joke then it’s not a good joke, and you need to take the L, study the mistake, then move on.

Yeah I don’t really see the problem with professionals having a platform with which they can reach a wide audience while avoiding the need for corporate or gubernatorial oversight to monetarily filter their scripts/opinions/programming.

Google lost the high ground when AI generated Joe Rogan was blatantly selling crypto scams on YouTube. Advertisers don’t even care about the quality of the advertisements, every single industry that has used advertisement as its primary foundation always becomes a group of crooks living in a cataclysmic house of cards.

Pay only for products or for services. If no payment option exists to receive that product or service - and that product or service alone with no extra baggage/strings attached - then you must assume you’re being scammed.

10. Having inward spies, making use of officials of the enemy.

12. Having doomed spies, doing certain things openly for purposes of deception, and allowing our spies to know of them and report them to the enemy.

You can’t beat the classics.

I think the misunderstanding here is that because there will always be an Overwatch/LoL/WoW/StarCraft/StreetFighter/SuperMarioWorld/PacMan/Pong that exists, and because this event appears in the statistics to be random, the financiers have a confirmation/perception bias that this is something you can force by shotgunning the market with product. A failure to realize that massive blowout successes are not because of random statistics and hidden secret variables in the market, they’re from a mix of unpredictable behaviors that may or may not even occur.

Because the public school funding comes from public taxpayer money. This means the school does not get to choose how to spend it since the money belongs to the people. The people have voted and greenlit several pre-approved items for schools to spend money on, but anything outside of that needs to be approved by a vote.

Getting people to vote on this item is a Heraclean effort to say the least. Education budget often is the least immediately impactful thing on the ballot, if it makes it that far. Especially in states with strong traditional religious areas. For example, Puritans don’t believe that sports are something that kids should take seriously cuz it’s a game (literally something along the lines of: Games can be pleasurable, seeking pleasure is sin you should only seek God, therefore games are sinful). They don’t want their taxes going towards such sinful programs so they will always vote against it. This perspective is rooted in zealous obedience and is not something other people are willing to fight against.

TL;Dr It’s easier for schools to just get private funding themselves and sidestep the public budget restrictions, than it is to get a majority in the voting pool to approve the vote and implement new school budget item.

Ahhh, so we’re gestating our young in the corpses of their mothers now? That seems less than ideal.

Holy moly proper use of the regular past tense of sneak?? I haven’t seen that on the internet ever. “I sneaked my way into the concert, but I also snuck several beers into the venue.”

He’s right! It’s worse than I thought…

False. The only thing the masters of the universe care about is defending castle greyskull from the forces of so called evil. If anything, Adam and his bitch band of bourgeois cronies cooped up in their ivory tower would be more the oppressive Egyptians, while the actual savior of the people wields so called “forbidden” holy magic to desperately attemp usurping their eternal tyranny.

It’s generally known and well understood that bribery is a method one can use to show their appreciation.

People take issue with the inevitable structural shortcomings that are inherent to its function. No one cares about the specific vessel of action that was used.

Here’s a list of the beings that live inside of me.

One is an energy being whose sole traits is that it can only live outside.

It is ultimately the same format which does not yield constructive conversation. The conversation is as though OP were speaking on a stage making their statement/announcement and then the audience yells back to them. It functions for some things, most notably sharing popular news - not necessarily journalism, just a glimpse through the eyes of the zeitgeist; dank memes are a form of good news by this definition. It does not function for discussion oriented conversation, since most people don’t read the whole thread. The implementation of up and down votes manipulate conversational integrity in weird ways Though that will occur with any type of rating system, I believe the simplicity of the reddit style system yields conversational benefits that are less valuable than how cheap it is to implement. A cheap hack of a system will yield a cheap shoddy output. This leads me to believe a better method exists, we just haven’t found it yet.

The emphasis on user control and instance freedom is novel and appreciated, but it has come with a reckless disregard for the dangers of the nowadays well understood echo chamber effect of current social media. There are zero safeguards to prevent Lemmy from shattering itself under any amount of external stress or internal corruption. Organized attacks are a major threat, and there is a nonzero chance of that happening.

Again, all of these are just like long term weaknesses in the structure itself. It doesn’t mean it IS going to fail, it doesn’t mean things can’t be mitigated, I just don’t trust that it will stand for a very long time nor will it reach the significance of reddit. Could be wrong, but it looks like Lemmy is capable only of moving around the problems with Reddit instead of being able to actively quell them.

No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution. It’s just the alpha version. It’s better than the prototype, but it’s still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.
