It's obvious to us but aside from the Trump-can-do-no-wrong crowd, there's a lot of oblivious people who just...don't know.

It's a situation I have a hard time grappling with as someone who reads the news but I'm regularly introducing people (in-person) to political events. They know about the most recent plane crash or whatever but not that Israel killed another journalist or that Trump sent a legal resident to a concentration camp. It's wild...but following politics is kind of a hobby. There's so much going on all the time, you can't just passively absorb it.

In some ways I resent them but in other ways I'm jealous. Following it like I do has brought me a tiny bit of joy and a whole lot of stress.

I'm a numpad enjoyer on my PC but it would be a negative for me on a laptop! I only use my numpad for a few things so I'd prefer the inconvenience of not having it to the inconvenience of even smaller keys.

No hate for laptop numpads, just wanted to give some perspective!

I might be giving OP too much credit here but I think being oblivious is the joke??

You're right, of course, but it's like saying you washed your teeth with a toothbrush.

I'd say I cleaned up the backyard (or just called it yardwork) and washed the patio/furniture

A good community is a well-moderated community.

"Close enough" posts have killed countless subreddits. Glad to see the mods here have their shit together!

The parents were going to help The Onion buy Infowars. They are definitely not in it for the money

I'm not defending the guy here (he does seem like a douchebag) but I think I'd rather hang out with a skeptic than someone dumb enough to believe crystals have healing energies.

Plus, the videos exist because the witches didn't ignore him. No shortage of magic-believers in the replies.

None of this is newsworthy but I'm cringing harder at the angry replies than the fact that he's rage baiting

I don't remember that at all

You've seen a lot of tin! Steel cans are tin-plated to stop corrosion. Also, solder!

I looked for the video and came across a reddit thread about it. Here are two really funny comments:

I think its rather silly to say the least especially since curses require a certain amount of anger and hatred that im sure next to nobody feels to this person.

Oh yeah that's why it didn't work

Magic requires willpower and intention to use properly. I doubt any of these randos on the internet actually possessed the genuine desire or emotional investment to actually curse a random guy on the internet who had heretofore never interacted with them

Anyone who actually understood this likely didnt rise to the bait.

No true witch!

The witch subculture is on the same level as kids who start channeling their chi to kamehameha a bully

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this (feel free to point me to a better community) but I'm in a weird "predicament" this summer: My AMD build plans are in shambles after receiving a free ROG Astral 5080.

Now I want to make the switch now with my current (Intel i7-13700K) hardware + this new card. I was only considering AMD before but it's really hard to say no to a video card worth more than my entire budget lol

The slightly worse performance compared to Windows is still an upgrade from my 3070 so that's fine - It's initial/recurring troubleshooting I don't really want to deal with. Most of the info I've found is from earlier this year and no one speaks highly of the beta drivers

Sorry if this is a stupid question but am I setting myself up for disappointment with this new plan? I have a few more related questions I'll toss in the comments but that's my main concern.

I feel like it's just marking the report as Read...is there not a way I can remove a comment from this page?

Do I have to go to the post and scroll down to find it every time? There's a huge backlog of reports from before I got asked to mod

Original mod had the same idea as me (get an fpv community going) a year ago but hasn't been active since

Just made a post there: https://lemmy.world/post/29489997

Do you think we could get an "About Community" button on there, too?

Example comment

It renders correct in a browser but all the line breaks are replaced with a weird symbol in the app.

Not a big deal or anything but I wanted to share!

~~None of them do anything~~

Now they do! If you're getting the same issues, update to the newest beta

My friends and I were active Twitter users up until it got sold and the only reason my account isn't deleted already is because I have a LOT of memories there.

I looked into downloading the tweets.js archive but that seems to be only what I wrote, not the original tweet if it's a reply. Having the full conversations that led to in-jokes is what I'm after!

I understand why this would be very complicated and to add to that, half of our profiles are set to private so The Way Back Machine and other public services won't work. Media would be nice but it's not a requirement.

Does something like this exist?

Gaslit about beans (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I saw a post referencing Lemmy's "obsession with beans" and it made me think of this.

Despite narwhals and bacon becoming something you say sarcastically to make fun of redditors for the past 10+ years, some users here tried to make "beans" the Lemmy equivalent and for a week or two, half the posts here were about beans....then it thankfully stopped.

Since then I've seen a handful of bean references but a significantly larger amount of references to bean references.

Beans were a blip in the Lemmy timeline and i's like gaslit us into thinking Lemmy is actually obsessed with beans. The posts/comments get upvoted but...where are the beans?

Just thought that was kinda funny.

Today I was reading about a band I hadn't heard of (Republic of Loose) and thought the singer looked like someone I had seen in a music video for another band.

In this video, the actor in question is laying on his back with the ocean under him (as if filmed off the edge of a ship). I believe it was made recently.

This is Mick (Mik?) Pyro:

He doesn't totally look like the guy I'm trying to find but close enough to make me remember the video.

It is NOT Matt Berry. The actor I'm thinking of has short hair.

This is really stupid but when I first saw the video, I thought it was the guy from that old Hugh Mungus video:

What is the name of this actor?? It's driving me crazy!

I didn't mind it last time we had this one because I was still doing baby dunfeons but boy do I hate it now. Ran a couple keys last night and the affix fucked us at least once per run. Besides the obvious bugs like orbs getting stuck in unreachable locations (on the ship in dawnbreaker, between the walkways in grim batol), we also had orbs spawn during Speaker Dorlita's Blazing Crescendo in Stonevault both times we ran it.

I thought last week's was the worst because the add spawned at the end of so many fights but I think I hate this one more.
