funny the time some people seem to have, and how it magically appears and disappears…hmmmm… I’ll leave the speculation on motivation to brighter bulbs than my own…

might lead to faster extinction via other methods tho…

Would be super interested to see the camera feed from all the drones involved.

we said the chicken nuggets were “beak to claw”… So the fish were fin to flipper? gill to dorsal? I’m not sure which, but they were gross. (LOTS of bits you couldn’t quite identify, in a “stick”).

*thanks to the west, pinning blame entirely on the United States for the current Iranian government forgets everyone’s part in history.

Not defending the actions in 1953 of the United States, but making the point that the history is much more complicated than “US evil” to forget your history is to doom yourself to repeat it.

From the article this is their source document : https://iranhr.net/media/files/2025_Annual_Report_on_the_Death_Penalty.

So does this include fish and chips? Is that an actual school meal in the UK? We definitely got a version of it in USA schools, although it would probably be blasphemous to any person from the UK.

I stand with the big mac.

Yeah but we are seeing the opposite of that right now with Netflix raising their base rates, short term promotions are what new users get these days.

Cell phone plans, software, other subscription services have definitely kept user rates locked in despite rising base rates.

when you bundle Apple’s reasonably good privacy protections (reasonably) they do have a compelling case for switching, although if you have a pixel and care about privacy I believe you should be putting Graphene on it.

I miss the days when companies would grandfather your price in, so price hikes only effected new users… Now days everyone pays.

I feel like this helps the units respond quicker to whatever counter they are running into on the other side of the line, so if they are using jammers send us fiber optics, if they are using counter weapons send us FPVs and so on and so forth, kind of genius to be honest.

You don’t have to wait for a decision tree of officers if you can just order a different kind of drone.

I read that as Lego DLSS track and was hella confused for a minute.

he was so pissy cause the inside of his helmet was just ads for pharmaceuticals he couldn’t afford.

Thanks for that read, previously I had only heard of Lombardi through his connection to american football , did not know he was an artist too!

But in all sincerity thank you for that, I was not super familiar with him and I enjoyed the wikipedia link and article.

Nah I don’t bait, I’m a real person but from another country so the Guardian is not a news source I grew up with, except when they had an article that filtered its way down, which was uncommon. Mostly only ever saw it on Reddit or other places, and it is often disparaged when posted, or at least it used to be, so I was asking what the general consensus was on the paper.

I also thought it was interesting to note that in the USA it is typically disparaged and viewed poorly, or presented poorly, to people, probably do to its left of center alignment, which in the USA would be considered farrrr left (sad I know).

Either way, I think that downvoting discourse unless someone says something that is really obviously a troll (3.50, cumbox, creepypasta, just being an asshole), is a dumb thing to do. It is a hallmark of my experience on reddit and I thought this was a place where real discourse could happen.

I believe that calling out poor practices with upvote/downvote is a way to consider what kind of culture we have here, and want to build, as the community expands.

I came from original Digg to Reddit now to Piefed, so I have watched the ways the culture has grown and expanded on these communities, in the past I just watched and said nothing. This time I feel compelled to be a part of the discussion because I watched both Reddit and Digg go to shit.

Your answer was golden my friend, nothing wrong with the language you used, thank you for it! I would not have guessed you did not speak English natively.

not disappointed, but downvote brigades on actual discussion were a serious problem on reddit, I would hate to see it carry over here, you can discuss something even if you disagree. You shouldn’t downvote good faith discussion or questions, but maybe we fundamentally disagree on the point of up/down voting.

If you don’t come to read the discourse, why come to the comments my friend?

Sample size of “over 1 thousand”, feels meaningfully meaningless.

Dang, was asking a question and discussing the way it has been presented to me and got buried, great discussion guys! Feeling like I’m back at home at Reddit :)

Is the Guardian mainstream? I thought it was often derided as being fringe or a tabloid in the UK (this also may of been an effort to misinform, as I typically find myself agreeing with their articles, or at the least the ones I am presented with)
