Oh shit!

  • I know it's fun to dunk on the asshole ruining our country, but I don't think we should be in the habit of sharing shopped images. That's what the extremists do, and then claim it's real. We have to be better than them. Plus, they'll use us distributing the memes as evidence of "Dems spreading fake news!"...

  • ISO 8601

  • For your example, maybe. If someone writes 8/3/2012, you don't know which is month/day. And if they shorten it to 08/03/12 you literally can't even conclusively determine the year, much less the month or day...

  • ISO 8601

  • Imagine a database, or even a folder with multiple years in it. "Payroll_05-01-2025". Now all your files are sorted by month. You would have to scroll through "Payroll_05-08-1988"... etc forever before you reach 2025. And when you do, all of 2025 isn't together. ISO 8601 solves these issues automatically. It's time to adapt to a better system...

  • Not your fault, but what a dumb system. So if I want to read about Z, I have to scroll down through X and Y stories? Just post to a different link; it'll make sharing and discussing easier as well! I assume they want us to view more ads this way...?

  • Aside from Jill Fucking Stein, I still don't see evidence that wide swaths of people were advocating against 3rd parties in general. Yeah, there are definitely credible allegations against her, and both Putin and the GOP absolutely took advantage of her spoiler status in the election. Maybe you think she sat at the table with Putin himself without knowledge of him using her?

  • So... Still no sources. Not one...

    EDIT: If you don't think Jill Stein is a Russian asset after reading all the credible allegations, I don't know what to tell you. Of course you're allowed your opinion, but that's still not evidence of people saying 3rd-party candidates in general are bad.

  • some older posts

    Do you have some examples? Like I said, all I experienced was disingenuous comments.

    EDIT: My bad, I thought we were talking about people (plural) advocating against 3rd-party candidates in general. I still haven't seen that. But yeah, Jill Stein is sus as fuck. You're allowed to think otherwise, but pointing that out doesn't make someone a shill.

  • When have people (outside isolated trolls) accused 3rd-party advocates of being shills? If the "Tanky Triad" only supported an end to "first-past-the-post" voting, that would be one thing. But when I visit, I'm inundated with propaganda championing fascists who want to ignore reality and bend the population to their will. That's not liberalism, and it's certainly not Progressive Politics...

  • Actually, I did not! And I didn't say raw. Even cooked chicken should be used or consumed within 2-4 days: https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/cold-food-storage-charts

    That's from when the US government was staffed with enough unbiased, science-following people! Also, it's only when stored in a functional, temperature-controlled space. And yes, of course it errs on the side of safety, so home chefs and restaurant-goers alike can be confident they won't kill someone. You're obviously free to stretch and even ignore those recommendations. But I don't envy the time you'll have if you get unlucky...

    Community (TV Show) Pilot Mistake

    Started S01E01 of Community and I couldn't help noticing this:

    Sorry for calling out this random extra, but he's clearly wearing a left "over the ear" style set of earbuds on his right ear. Do you think the prop master just gave them out, or did he get confused and force it into the wrong ear...?

    thelemmy.club "News" censorship

    Commented on a post with the most recent (non-Breitbart) headline and updates. Added this with 3 independent sources:

    FYI, Breitbart is a far-right, low-quality source.

    Media Bias Fact Check

    Media Bias Chart

    AllSides

    Mod apparently didn't like a more reputable source being added to their post because it was removed in minutes lol.

    reason: Rule 6 Violation

    Rule 6: Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

    Just admit you want an echo chamber to spread disinformation and promote biased articles! Using this rule to police sources is very thinly-veiled censorship...

    Sync For Lemmy @lemmy.ml

    Still in development? Unblocking bug

    Is Sync still being actively supported/worked on? Also, I found out today I can't unblock another user, tried multiple times, they're still on the list and I can't see their comments. Thanks in advance!

    Pager sales are probably really, really down right now, even for pagers.

    WTF is a risa!?

    Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

    Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

    EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
