I feel like you’re overthinking this. There are people who buy crystal-infused drinking cups to reset their personal feng shui. (Spoiler: it’s just glitter.)
I really wish I didn’t have morals. It’s so easy to make money if you’re willing to fleece people.
e: autocorrect
That just makes it worse.
Going out of your way to defend trump, diddy, and epstein is not a good look, btw.
It’s like Diddy, is every other rapper a sexual predator like him then?
You must be a troll, because a serious person wouldn’t say this.
You know that real people are behind these names, right?
Do you realise that real people are reading your comments or are you just having fun here? I’ll answer if you’re serious, but I don’t believe you are.
Of all the dystopian things, this is probably the most dystopian thing I’ve read lately.
This is horrible.
Neat. Good luck protecting yourself from this.
On the other hand, I’m seriously considering opening an Etsy shop selling foil-lined clothes. I’m pretty good at sewing. What do you think?
One time? Sure.
But there are so many photos and videos of these same people at parties, many with underaged girls, and certain people are at nearly all of them.
Why would anyone defend them after all we’ve seen? They certainly wouldn’t defend you.

Hey Qanon!
Here’s your deep state.
e: sorry, downvoters; you’ve been had, but it’s not too late. There are real conspiracies here.
Why use a strongly typed language at all, then?
Sounds unnecessarily restrictive, right? Just cast whatever as whatever and let future devs sort it out.
$myConstant = ‘15’;
$myOtherConstant = getDateTime();
$buggyShit = $myConstant + $myOtherConstant;
Fuck everyone who comes after me for the next 20 years.
So here’s a fun (/s) idea: she’s got so much leverage over trump, she can probably force him to pardon her.
I think she’d be crazy not to try that, and how will Magaworld react if he does?
Orcas have been attacking and sinking yachts. Apparently, CEO Marcus Hale (crypto bro) was sailing off the coast of Portugal last October when his yacht was attacked by orcas. He drowned. Here’s the only article I can find that’s not a video or twitter post: https://www.bitrue.com/blog/marcus-hale-crypto-ceo-death
I can’t find a more reputable link, so can’t vouch for the veracity of this. The orcas have been revolting for a few years, though.
This may or may not be associated with music stands or equipment. I can’t remember.
I just emptied and re-did my music/video room, and found this bracket in a small box with no labels or anything. I can’t remember what it’s for. I think it’s either audio or video related, but it doesn’t seem to match any of my mic or equipment stands, though it might be. It’s devoid of any branding or part/serial numbers. No markings of any kind.
It folds like this:

There’s a sliding mount screw on the bottom:
Thanks!

Captain archer was linked with his own future, and he was almost religiously against transporter tech straight out of the gate, to a degree that seems weird if he didn’t have a reason to be.
I understand the narrative reasons for this, but looking at him as a person, he seems overly Luddite with respect to this specific tech, in a way he isn’t with most others we can see. He’s actually pretty progressive with respect to his society in many facets.
That’s a bit weird, unless we consider his life includes time travel as a core concept, so he knew Scotty would lose Porthos, and though he couldn’t do anything about that, he had an almost innate distrust of transporters.
Does that make sense?
(I mostly mean the events of ENT and some TNG, VOY, all new movies since 2009, etc in that timeline, but perhaps the other, too)
This post in /r/AskHistorians apparently caused a mod conflict and confused sub users.
A couple of highlights:
Hello everyone wondering where the answer is […] We are not asking anyone to completely re-write something to suit our tastes, but to contextualize what is written within the reality of the times. As this question hit /r/all, it’s very clear that there is a large audience reading it, with various degrees of knowledge about the period and the novel/film.
They did, though, and people called them out, to be met by some confusion, followed by another mod response:
In sum, you had the poor timing of posting right at the point when the mod team ‘turns over’ several times - US slips off to Bed and then Europe wakes up. It meant that you were dealing with, essentially, a string of mods in different time zones and different “shifts” which created something of a Moderator game of telephone about what we had been expecting out of an answer in the thread.
General confusion ensued.
There were several conflicting mod DMs that weren’t captured publicly, too, but were responded to in the OP. Asked to include all races, then asked to narrow it down, asked to include a disclaimer (I did, at the bottom), then asked to move it to the top, asked to remove things, then to include those same things. It was maddening.
E: re-reading, I don’t think I’ve ever used race words so often in my life, jesus.
e: I only included this photo because I couldn’t seem to submit this post without a photo for some reason. It’s only tangentially related to the Reddit post, but this is an example of my education on the subject.

Thank you for that link, @NotAnotherLemmyUser!
Took me a while and an AskLemmy post to figure this out, since I initially thought Lemmy was auto-modding commenters (which kinda made me panic), but this is what I see:
I am the only mod in this community, and others aren’t seeing this flag everywhere, so commenters aren’t actually modded.
Is this a bug with Voyager or with my instance?
Is this a Lemmy thing? Something with lemmy.ca? Something about Voyager?
I tried looking it up but found nothing that might explain this. I have a community that’s super niche and I don’t post there much, but I do on occasion. I don’t care that it’s not that active – it’s enough for me.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a tiny amount of interaction, and everyone who posts seems to be automatically flagged as a mod. What’s happening?
e: this is what I see:
I’ve officially looked at the word ‘valuing’ enough times in trying to spell it that it doesn’t look like a word anymore.
Just look at it Valuing Valueing? Valuing VALUING
This word has broken my brain today, how are you?
It looks like they’re actually tier 1 (they seem to be standing on a white platform), but what, if any, weight is each layer above them? I can see narrow platforms, but are they all taking most of the weight?
I’m not sure whether this was meant as an athletic or purely aesthetic display – since they’re billed as ‘acrobats’, I assumed skill was involved, so what would be the best and worst case scenario those 8-10 in the narrowest tier would be supporting?
e: was there any kind of structural support in this? I’m not finding much about it.
Here’s a Snopes article about this event at the 1980s Olympics in Moscow.
The thing is, though, that whilst false reports do happen – and I’m in no way trying to downplay the tragedy and horrific consequences for victims of that, such as in the case of this thread’s OP – that’s far rarer than the much more common case of women being ignored, put off, and scoffed at when they try to report actual sex crimes.
I was groomed as a child and nobody would listen to me. Then I was kidnapped and raped for months – when I finally escaped and found the police, I was sent to a juvenile detention centre for being delinquent. Finally, after much therapy as an adult, I again tried to report my crime, and the first officer basically said I was wasting their time, and implied it was my fault.(e: I do have an open case now with a sergeant who takes me seriously, but that took some climbing of the hierarchy to find.)
This is extremely common, and part of why many, many women don’t even bother to report these crimes.
The ‘believe women’ thing is because of this, and reacting to such stories with ‘well actually I knew a woman who made up charges’, whilst true and horrible, feeds those who want to believe women are likely to make this shit up when it’s so common that 1 in 6 women will experience assault, and many are afraid to report it. That can be generalised, because it’s shockingly common.
e: people make up and falsely report all sorts of crimes – burglary is a big one. Lots of people make up burglaries when they’re in dire straits and realise they can get more for insurance than selling their things. Or arson. But when someone reports a burglary or arson, you don’t see others jumping in to say ‘well actually, my ex said I burgled her for insurance purposes.’ That absolutely happens, but it’s uncommon and irrelevant to burglary victims’ crimes. We all can see that has nothing at all to do with real burglaries. That’s a whole different crime.
Sorry, /rant, but this is personal to me.
