The photos of people that news outlets use reliably reveal their bias. If they don’t like the person they use a bad picture. Once you notice it, it can’t be unseen.

They haven’t claimed to be in the possession of AGI no matter how nicely that would fit your narrative.

Every now and then there’s an Ask Lemmy thread along the lines of “what would you do if you could do anything” and the number of people sharing their violent murderous fantasies there and getting upvoted for it is genuinely staggering. Like you said: normal people don’t behave like that. If someone finds themselves having daydreams about murdering “the elites” or whatever, it’s time to get off social media and go take a walk outside.

Ads on reddit have always been completely optional though. Just like with the rest of the internet.

Alt account cause obviously.

Not at all obvious to me as to what there is to lose by posting this from your main account.

It wasn’t from a starlink satellite though.

which the U.S. aerospace company SpaceX later admitted was part of a cargo trunk for its Crew Dragon spacecraft.

If this was any other employee you would probably tear them a new one.

No I wouldn’t - it was an honest mistake. Could’ve happened to me just as well. It’s my business and I’m responsible. He’s not being paid and it was me who asked his help.

Is that where you keep all your scrap steel?

Yeah I wouldn’t lie about it if he asked. If there was actually damage done then I’d have no option but to tell him but in this case nothing bad really ended up happening and this isn’t really anything you can even learn from. There’s always going to be leaks no matter how careful one is - this kind of catastrophical failure is rare and just really bad luck.

It was an honest mistake. Plumbing is an unforgiving profession.

Odd that it doesn’t mention one of the most common ones which is a liquefied petroleum gas forklifts (the ones with the gas cylinder on the back)

9 year relationship ended 6 months ago and I don’t feel like getting into new one anymore.

If it was up close and personal, then probably for me too no matter what the price is. However, if it was “press a button and someone somewhere dies and you get paid” then probably not if I’m being completely honest.

Hard to say. The amount of money someone would have to pay me to murder someone, for example, would be in the tens of millions, but I have no use for that much money so risking it feels pointless.

It would pretty much need to be so much that I could retire in a year or two - otherwise it’s pretty meaningless. I’m already in the financial situation where I can afford almost anything I want, and what I want isn’t that much. Most of it I already have.

I agree. Everything I’ve learned about personal finances has come from podcasts - not school. I started when I was around 27, and I’m now by far the wealthiest in my friend group despite all of them being higher educated than me.

As thankful as I am for having learned this stuff later rather than never, I’d be so much better off if I’d known it when I was 18. When it comes to investing, missing a decade is a massive nerf. I’d be on my way to being a millionaire by the time I retire.

Well I guess it could still be better than nothing so it depends what you compare it to. It’s obviously not ideal situation but neither is being alone.

I don’t know if it would work for me because I can’t quite think of what other the “transaction” could be than money. I have plenty money but that’s because I’m extremely frugal and no gold digger is going to change that.

Like with all social media - it’s as bad as you make it.

I’ve never had much of an issue with Twitter’s recommendation algorithms. I find they do a pretty good job of showing me content I’m actually interested in. I did get an influx of political content during the owner switch, but either they fixed that on their end or it quickly figured out that I’m not interested. I’m getting none anymore. Like literally zero.

Lemmy would be equally unusable without heavy curating and content filters.

I’m the same way. Phone usually sits at the desk by the door. I’m also almost able to convince myself I’m better than others due to not having a “smartphone addiction” as if it makes a difference which screen I’m staring at.

It can fly up to 500 meters but by law you’re only allowed to go up to 120 meters. The range is up to 10km but if you go beyond 5km you won’t have enough battery left to fly back. Realistically the range is around 2 to 3km at most. And yes I’ve crashed - always at low altitude and at the cost of propeller blades only and no it wasn’t expensive - only 330€ for the drone, controller, 3 batteries and a case (DJI Mini 4K)
