You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”

Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.

I too enjoy going off my meds for the weekend.

And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.

What’s your dew temp?

Other sources were already posted in the comments showing that “redneck” referring to farmers predates its usage to refer to coal miners/communists. Definitely agree there’s a lot of stuff conveniently left out of our history books, though.

Right? I don’t think anyone ever even told me that was the origin, it just sort of made sense intuitively.

The rules for how they’re supposed to work sound simple enough on paper. Unfortunately a lot of us in the US have poor reading comprehension skills.

How to properly go through a four-way stop.

Was about to ask what one does with dual Titan Xs, but the obvious answer is whatever the hell one wants.

One of these guys walked up and gave me a handful of birdseed, prompting a flock of pigeons to come perch on my arms. I most certainly did not hand over the money they wanted for the experience I didn’t ask for and was somewhat disgusted by.

Or this statue of Juliet in Verona.

Debris like that will tend to concentrate around a gravitational focus. There’s a lot more of the space rocks and stuff you’re worried about within the inner solar system than towards the edges where there’s little gravity to keep those objects from falling further into the solar system. That’s why JWST had micro meteor impact damage so early after its launch.

Amen to that!

I feel like even without religion we’d find ways to make each other miserable ‘cause we’re just an awesome species like that.

Search job sites for “search quality rater.” Should be a number of postings for fully remote, part-time, ~$15/hr work. Takes a few weeks to go through the qualifying process, but it’s mostly common sense stuff. Just requires the time commitment - projects will probably want 10-20 hours a week.

“Well, Ma, I was “more happy,” but then you and Dad got horny and ripped me from the void!”

Huh, that has not occurred to me. Will definitely try this.

Seems useful if you’re trained to read these, but it seems like a kinda shitty system to be slapping on stuff for sale to the general public.

I mean, you could have just said that instead of the unhelpful bullshit GPT apparently put out. Or just not commented at all if you didn’t actually have anything helpful to add.
