Pretty silly thing to say. Nobody has to allow you to have an account on their private Lemmy server. They’re not banning anyone from all of Lemmy and can’t do so. If you don’t like their policies and they don’t like you, go somewhere else. Also, I have not made any statement about the defederation proposal.

Well yeah, the admins can ban a user if they feel like it. It’s literally their website.

This era of 23 year olds fascist incels running my the White House communications dept can’t end soon enough

Cardamom is interesting. You could also try nutmeg and vanilla.

I try, but it doesn’t always work. This also happens with other jokes I have that I am completely dead pan about. My belief is that what I’m saying is so ridiculous that it should be obvious I’m not serious, but some people are… um… for instance, I have a fake conspiracy theory that plane flight doesn’t exist, and airlines just knock us out, hook us up to electrodes, and wheel planes into a hangar where we get teleported. Planes seen in the sky are government holograms. I’ve had (stupid and annoying) people argue with me that I was in fact seriously stating my beliefs and then just trying to weasel out of it when I explained I was obviously joking.

Edit to add, one basis for that plane conspiracy is that lift is fake since scientists don’t know why it works. “That air moves faster over the bottom than the top so it makes this 80 ton tin can float in the air”? Yeah, right.

I have a long standing joke about bragging about people being so modest or humble. Most people don’t get it and think I’m literally boasting, which is, of course, very stupid. It can be frustrating even.

Let’s see,

• license already suspended
• accelerated to speed through a red light at 78 mph
• attempted to flee the scene
• driving after using some unknown mixture of hard drugs
• killed two people

I don’t know what people deserve, but that would garner prison time in most places. Of course, prison isn’t effective at rehabilitating people, only deterring crime to some extent and punishing people.

I’d say a sentence of at least a couple years, a requirement of drug treatment, 5-10 year license suspension, and probation with a longer suspended sentence if she’s caught driving.

Right. It is bizarre, but certainly not surprising or unusual. Just the same deranged playbook where everything bad is the previous administration’s fault.

Classic Republican playbook. Same shit over and over again for decades now… everything bad is a Democrat’s fault and everything good is to their credit. And their chumps enthusiastically believe that, literally. It’s much like a narcissistic personality disorder person in a relationship. Can’t admit fault, weakness, apologize, very hypocritical, so on

It’s pretty insane that Trump’s being allowed to do this

I find it annoying when it’s text. Like, if someone uses a well written, professional or flowery style, people say “okay ChatGPT!” as if humans can’t write anything anymore.

I noted a while ago that I never once heard Kirk say an argument that wasn’t a debate fallacy. Not one time.

Ah, sorry, I read your post incorrectly. Glad it got figured out.

I’m not sure what you mean by a website that does this, but Lemmy uses a couple different simple formats for that. You can use a ! or just /c/. For instance

!aww@lemmy.ml

/c/aww@lemmy.ml

It’s really that difficult to listen to patients and take notes?

Where did the idiotic “thanks for your attention to this matter” thing come from, anyway? It’s absurdly out of place half the time

The idea that AI is a “google killer” and a replacement for web sites always struck me as incredibly dumb. I know that’s how many people use it though, which is fairly awful. So, AI gets all of its information from websites. If it puts websites out of existence, where is it getting new information from?

I know people who spend over $200. Not sure how this sounds like a good plan.

I make my own from whole chickens and it’s amazing. Super flavorful
