Sure, but what gets me is it appears the judge based the sentence on this… “Testimony”. Don’t get me wrong, death sentence or whatever is the USAian milder version if maximum sentence is despicable and I wish it upon no one. It’s just spooky as fuck to see how new tech is swaying old farts in power.

no more licking tea-pools off the table!

wonderful!

Alt-text: monkey-lookaway meme. 2 pannels. 1st pannel monkey look at the camera while facing away from the camera. 2nd pannel monkey looks away from the camera face hasn’t moved. Above the whole panel, text that says “Thubderbird while Mozilla fucks up Firefox”

ye… but that page is also a spoiler

don’t see my answer bellow? https://fed.dyne.org/comment/1329338 if your lemmy server didn’t fetch it.

Looking great! Good move the point the spider downwards. Things can get awkward in many cultures other wise.

edit: should have elaborated, sorry. Traditionally in many places, spiders crawling upwards is signaling heavy involvement in crime.

Just saw your edit, i’m fairly sure the depth of insight you’ll get into our fetishes will depend on which subscription plan you can afford 😹

Good point, thank you!

Very well summed up imho! Thanks for taking the time to do this, kind stranger!

Both ingredients are valid, but i prefer mine with a zest of not letting that which i cannot control burden me, over a handful of IDGAF.

uff… that thought hurt a bit extra

wow! thanks for sharing! had never heard of this legend!

what can i say… boomers, right?

yes, well… i personally wouldn’t assume any political orientation based on platform preferences. as for the reaction, it doesn’t surprisee me: it’s part of the mainline narrative of young people being “foolish narcissistic clicktvists acting out for social media klout”. Which i personally don’t belive in. In some cases it might even be rooted in frustration arrising from the lack of attention brought upon other, perhaps more elaborate and constructive, ways to tackle the issue.

There might be better ways, i’m no judge of that, but the one rmployed by this young people for sure enables discussions and exchange, which are not always positive maybe, but the world of ideas is a pot that requires to be stirred up.

who’s to say they don’t do all of that as well? I have no idea. Do you? What i know for sure is that there’s no media in picking up rubbish, though i agree there should be.

Either way, i set the title the way i did on purpose, to me it’s not so much about the value of the action in itself, rather about the absurdity in calling what they did a “Category 1 harm to society”. If you think they are childish, then i suppose the lesson here is that childish stuff is category 1 harm to society.

That IS a nice feature, !w for wiki !bc for bandcamp etc… I had good faith in this project. I made a lot of noise about it when it came out. To the point where they “rewarded” me with my avatar showing up blinking alternately with 🙌 emoji, right where the DDG logo is, if anyone queried for one of my nicknames. I’m not easily going to be doing something like that ever again. 😞

I don’t think DDG is an alternative (basically bing in a trenchcoat), but your point is valid.

oh, wait, i forgot about all the sharecare non-pirate bears that just upload good stuff for the careshare… you know, that other 3/12 of the catalogue…

The service where they crowd sourced 2/3 of their catalogue from “sharecare” pirate bears?
