You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve been waiting for a refund on this crappy copper I bought from Ea-nāṣir

Certain Lemmy apps show an indicator, such as the baby face emoji, next to newly created accounts. I assume this is a futureproofing measure against spam or bot accounts by bringing the newness of the account to other users’ attention so they know to be more wary of them. Based on my previous experience hunting bots on Reddit, I think this is an excellent futureproofing feature.

If you’re using the Voyager app, you can activate or deactivate this indicator on your end by going to the General settings in the app and switching the New Account Highlightenator. Other users will still see the baby face next to your username until you age out of it, but I don’t know how long that will take.

The best strategy for combatting Trump Derangement Syndrome is also for everybody to get it?

Don’t characterize him as insane. Characterize him and his ilk as calculated psychopaths. Do not let them get away with an insanity defense at the next Nuremberg Trials.

Why do we care so much about this gold man’s sack?

Oh please don’t be a Coulson -> Sarge situation

Obviously, this horrendous and fascist (par for the course). I think there is also a subtle insidious layer to this that would imply stripping all dissidents of their gun rights, therein stifling rebellion.

Did Woody ever give us an ETA as to when that would happen?

It means that humans developed empathy and the scientific means to help each other avoid natural selection. Intraspecies and interspecies empathy is the cheat code against natural selection. Certain ram species, for example, also were not designed intelligently, so as they age they may grow their horns until they penetrate their skull and kill them. Natural selection is most effective when it culls prior to the life form procreating. However, thanks to the power of empathy, we can abate natural selection by performing oral surgery on humans (ideally in our adolescence for wisdom teeth removal) and by shaving rams’ horns as they age. Ideally, as science develops and empathy spreads, we can come up with more effective and painless means to ensure everybody has a chance to live and be happy.

Huh, I’ve got all advertisers hidden forever on Lemmy
