I’d say we do pretty well and STILL have affordable healthcare. But I’m sure potholes and a few extra billionaires are worth the tradeoff.

Damn, I suspected as much. The NSFW stuff, tho

There’s neither women nor non-adults on the internet.

I’m sorry?

Feel free to argue with them, I’m just pointing out that there’s potential for misunderstandings. If you want to talk about an actual subject, you’ll necessarily have to navigate them.

Sure it is. You can define language all you want, the goal is to communicate with each other. The definition follows usage, not the other way around. Just look up the current definition for literally…

Me, too. But it also means when some people say “that’s a lie” they’re not accusing you of anything, just remarking you’re wrong. And that can lead to misunderstandings.

I’ve had this lengthy discussion before. Some people define a lie as an untrue statement, while others additionally require intent to deceive.

E: you can stop arguing about definitions and logic. The fact remains that some people will refer to untrue statements as lies, no matter what the dictionary says.

Have we tried slapping them out of existence? Or just telling them to think harder and maybe that’ll make them stop existing?

And yet admin, 1234, test, etc. remain the most commonly ‘hacked’ passwords. Your company’s policies may be annoying, but they certainly don’t make you use unsafe passwords.

It’s not for your security, it’s for the company’s. People suuuuuuuuck when it comes to credentials.

I didn’t want to join a WoW guild bc they mandated TS - which obviously makes sense. Back then, no chance. Today? Maybe? If there’s an interesting conversation.

Yo dude’s so compressed, his checksum is 1! laugh track

You would have been stronger together, though.

Hey, it just takes one unhinged rich dude to not think for a second, and I can count many years of combined thoughtlessness from just one idiot alone.

Large traders have different rules and prices than us plebs. Our trades don’t even reach the market places, they’re being internalized by brokers, who were the ones not actually selling you an actual share to begin with. They’ll be happy to take your loss without affecting market prices in the first place.

An unfair market place is what the whole diamond hands thing is about. So no, I don’t think board members care what us small investors do.

Absolutely. We’re far from relevant so the bot / bad actor influx is probably negligible. Defederation won’t protect anyone, they’ll just use the major few instances and get access to 90% of feeds. Afaik points and account age don’t matter, so bans don’t matter. At this point, Lemmy has no defenses.

After the stock is sold by the company it’s completely disconnected. No money to or from the company, no message sent. The only way it’ll hurt them is if they try another offering where they sell new shares and the stock price is low, which will be announced beforehand. Or if they want to buy them back, which probably won’t happen.

Keep the shares or sell them. GS won’t care.

Unfettered platforms will be overrun in no time. Hate and bigotry are incredibly easy to create and sell.
