  • Depends on the grenade. Lotta people who talk about “grenade no work like that” are talking about a specific type of grenade they are familiar with.

    Some grenades have very easy pins to pull, some grenades start the fuse as soon as the the pin is pulled, some require the spoon be depressed for the pin to be pulled.

    Reality is, there are many types of grenades that work in different ways.

    It’s an attempt to create a unified narrative that can tie together a number of disparate groups. Groups who have no chance of winning elections or joining another coalition. Groups whose goals and ambitions are so antithetical to public interest that they can never actually say what they want out loud.

    The reason this document is so bizarre and unhinged is because it’s trying to speak the language of people who have to speak in a series of dog whistles to prevent being disregarded out of hand.

    It’s a rallying cry to all those who are upset when they get held accountable for saying what they actually think.

    He absolutely talked about the sites numbers being artificially high due to bots when he was buying it, even tried to use it to get out of the legal obligation to buy it.

    We’ve also seen his gutting of the moderation system cause a huge influx of bots and bot interactions, not to mention other stuff that advertisers don’t want their ads to be next to.

    Like he really has played him self and is having a temper tantrum at having to face the consequences of his own actions.

    It’s even worse than that.

    It’s like he bought another kids lemonade stand while claiming the other kid was pissing in the jug to make it look like they had more.

    Then pissing in the jug in full view of everyone else to make it look like he had more.

    And then tried to sue passers by for not buying his piss filled lemonade.

    Piss being bots and spam accounts, and the passers buy being advertisers who want actual engagement from users.





  • Especially because that’s just the sandwich, not a side and a drink. A combo meal is like 10.15$

    I’m sorry but the quality of the food does not justify 10 dollars.

    For comparison, I remember in Berlin not even 5 years ago I got a currywurst with fries and a drink for 3.60 € (about 3.90$), and in London I got an absolute mound of fish and chips with peas for like 6.50 £ (about 8$). Both of these I got as much or way more food than a Big Mac combo and they were much better quality.

    Yah, mushrooms are not that hard to identify if you know what to look for. I worry people who do not know what to look for will be far too confident with such an imperfect tool.

    Especially with the growth of demand for foraged mushrooms in restaurants and supermarkets. It’s big money, and I have no doubt some “enterprising” people are going to get people hurt by trusting these tools too much.



  • The weirdest part to me what how quickly the liberty hub mod just bowed out. Like, they could easily have litigated the situation, but, I suppose it’s easier to just drop it, let the situation play out, and move on.

    I didn’t really see that many people going after them for it, there were a few, but it hardly seemed like an overwhelming tide, and most of them seemed like they already had a bone to pick with liberty hub. Maybe there were DMs or messages on platforms I’m not privy too.

    The whole things just feels weird. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just abandoned the account the accusation was against and started using a new user name.
