Tylenol is interesting - it’s a psychoactive drug. It reduces your brain’s ability to experience pain, or even understand the possibility of pain, rather than reducing the amount of pain you’re feeling. That means different people’s brain chemistry will result in very different results with Tylenol.
Studies were done that show people are slightly more likely to take risks when they’re on Tylenol. Wild stuff.
Part of the purpose of debate is to find the holes in an argument so you can fix them. If you don’t understand your weaknesses, you can’t guard against them. That is why people play devil’s advocate.
Especially when your argument is as full of holes as ‘some corporations do horrible things, so clearly making implications about an evil corporation, no matter how wrong, is the right thing to do’.
You picked a side
Yeah. They picked truth and honesty over sensationalism.
Spreading lies about corporations doesn’t help. They’re bad enough anyways; we don’t need to make up stories about them to paint them in a bad light, they’re perfectly capable of painting themselves.
Honestly, it’s old tech. There were guide-by-wire missiles for a long time before this.
Technically yes, I could, but I originally wanted to slap together a dumb meme about newbies to 196 getting trapped by The Rule. When I couldn’t upload the image I gave up and made this post.
…thanks, I think…
Even consoles these days require you to install files onto the machine before it’ll play…
Part of this is likely to be because with how stupidly car-focused the infrastructure is, revoking someone’s license to drive is essentially revoking someone’s right to autonomy.
An “instance” is a server that talks to all the other Lemmy servers, where your account info and login are stored. There’s a lot of benefits to decentralization - even if one instance goes down, like lemm.ee, it doesn’t really impact the whole of Lemmy too severely. The cost of running an instance isn’t super high, which means that if an instance is being annoying about advertising or something, you can ditch it with little cost to yourself and even run your own instance if you want. A single cabal of admins can’t ruin it like Reddit (cough cough Spez) and it can be easier to curate your own experience by choosing what instances you want to ignore completely.
Any given instance is not necessarily a safe harbor, but as long as Lemmy is around, there will probably be multiple instances to choose from. The only thing you really lose is your post history - and you can link to your old account info in your new account for continuity’s sake.
