The trekkie in me wants BookData.

The extra bit about Lore being the one who could make shit up and say what folks wanted to hear while Data was based on facts and logic isn’t lost on me either

Imagine growing up and one day mom pulls you aside and tells you why you own a autographed copy of “Where the Sidewalk Ends” 💀

Anyone else breathing a sigh of relief that the childrens author with a overactive libido wasn’t diddling kids?

They grew up with Pepe LePew so no excuse.

There’s Zorro Ranch, which purportedly has bodies buried under the pickleball court.

The Island was bought by a billionaire at a deep discount, which makes sense really https://www.capradio.org/news/npr/story?storyid=1173956903

fair amount of others that havent been as newsworthy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_Jeffrey_Epstein

He also left Bluesky in 2024 after it didn’t become the libertarian techbro wankfest he envisioned and was instead heavily populated by folks who didn’t want to slob Elon’s knob.

Could be, but the thing to keep in mind is where you’re posting. It could be the reddit site, or it could be mods of a particular subreddit doing it via automod rules. If you have a subreddit you mod, post it there and see what happens, as removal by automod and removal by reddit are clearly notated differently both on the comment and in the modlog.

Hey now, some of them could have not read it because of a paywall at the time too.

Changing your business model costs money and carries some inherent risk, and businesses hate risk. Its why theres so many sequels, spinoffs, and adaptions in theaters. Sure they could fund more Sinners’… but Fast and the Furious 35: Wheelchair Wheelies has a guaranteed audience.

Pornography is competitive prostitution like movies are competitive plays.

We could grade them like gymnasts or figure skaters. I’d watch competitive prostitution.

Which is why a civil war won’t happen, it’ll crash the economy globally and the 1% can’t have that, so all of this is moot.

I feel like Donald would mysteriously hang himself and Vance would be full appeasement mode real fast.

That said, we also thought Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine after the 2014 (iirc) treaty and well…

I need the money to buy chai tea

December 19th. Got a lot of folks really mad, for obvious reasons.

Not a fan of it for advanced stuff but Gimp puts text on image admirably and fills all my cropping needs

Theres all manner of goofy psychic bullshittery out there from palms to tea leaves to runes and tarot cards. I haven’t heard of titty readings or indeed any psychic stuff involving the rest of the body apart from the hands.

I could see someone claiming some shit for blood maybe, and personality stuff regarding skull shape and blood type are both psuedosciences that exist, the latter being popular in Japan, the former with 1800s racists.

Who wants to hear my, “Why reddit got image hosting of its own when it did” conspiracy theory? No one? Too bad, posting it anyhow.

Few years ago reddit had a subreddit called fatpeoplehate. It existed to, you guessed it, hate fat people. “Fattie” became an insult du juor. One day they find out an imgur employee is fat, and start in on being shitters. This apparently was the straw that broke the camels back because they finally got banned.

My theory is simple: reddit didn’t ban fatpeoplehate because they went too far. They banned it because imgur threatened to block them and being the image site, this would fuck reddit up. Imagine being a social media site with no pictures. Impossible.

Reddit, not too long after that, adds image hosting. Could it be a coincidence? Sure. Do I think its one? Not really.

Fun addendum, a study was done post-ban and reddit actually became less toxic after the ban. Crazy how denying shitty folks a platform actually makes your site better, whoda thunk?

I put the STD in Stud, all I need is U.

Some folks might be on some prosperity gospel bullshit, but I don’t think Elon, Zuck, et. al. believe in a power above themselces.

What oddly specific training. Is there a training regimen for a “Evangelion everyone got turned into Tang” situation too? What about the “Just got spider powers and a Canon event may be coming”?
