You can give me all the information in the world, but that won't make it cheap and convenient for the over worked masses.

You should see how little training I was given to literally apply poison in homes and schools as a pest management professional.

In case anyone doesn't know, you can download all of Wikipedia of you have 120GB of space. You can download a whole bunch of wikis straight off Kiwix.

I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge

These people both need to sit down and have some empathy for each other.

They could be growing stronger together through their struggles rather than making it some competition about who is worse off. (Which, in this case, the guy has started by not empathizing at all)

My mental health struggles in no way invalidate someone else's struggles.

I hate this kind of divisive bs.

And now that someone showed me that, I withdraw what I said. I'd never seen anyone write about it or talk about it. And just figured someone should look into it (they did)

Hadn't seen this! Thanks! No one said anything about it for days afterwards and I never saw anything come of it.

This is all I wanted unless there was more concrete proof of tampering. Just seemed like someone, somewhere with some credentials should have looked into it. And now I know they did!

I never started screaming there was a stolen election. But after having read the piece, I see a reason for concern.

According to this infosec professional, they may very well have stolen the election

The block function is heavily used. Whole block lists get passed around quite frequently. I've never really seen much hate on there unless I'm clicking into something obviously heated politically. Other people may have other experiences, but the current culture there is to not engage the hate farmers and just block people instead

Don't forget pesticide exposure which eventually has similar effects to lead over time: decreased intelligence and increased aggression

I see them on BlueSky more than any Mastodon or Lemmy instance, sadly. But that could just be my experience.

Citizen Kane.

Yes it is circle jerked hard by film lovers... For good reason.

This is what I might consider the first movie shot in what would be recognized as a modern movie format.

It is told non sequentially, the composition of shots is absolutely incredible.

It's a movie shot in 1941 that looks nothing like the other movies of the time. Literally decades ahead of its time. It looks like it could have been shot a few months ago as a period piece.

There's good reason for it being one of the most acclaimed movies of all time.
