@fesshole@mastodon.social if you don't have a good reason to live, a bad one will do. I was taught this in therapy and think about it every day.

@nerdpr0f@infosec.exchange @Sempf@infosec.exchange my great uncle had a toilet and shower in the basement. The toilet was up against a wall and next to it was the shower. And by shower, I mean there was a pipe coming out of the ceiling that attached to a shower "nozzle". No shower curtain. Just kind of out there. Probably about 25% of the way to the middle of the room. It emptied into a grate attached to the sump.

@fesshole@mastodon.social why can't you tell your wife about foods you like? You UK folks are weird.

@kdwarn@social.coop I get meeting people where they are to change minds, but this is just weird.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social everyone knows if crime is down you need to increase the police budget to let them know they're doing a good job. And if crime is up, you need to increase the budget to help them bring those numbers down.

@Javvad@infosec.exchange I at least got $30ish from them in a class action privacy suit.

@AlisonW @theleftistlawyer someone heard "computers do exactly what they're programmed to do" and extrapolated that to "they don't make mistakes."

@evan@cosocial.ca I learned that this was not known by everyone in the US by watching this video. I had no idea until a few months ago that not everyone knew about these!

@paul@oldfriends.live Paul if only you understood what disabled people go through...🙄
Yes, that is absolutely ridiculous.
Replying to
@nixCraft@mastodon.social yes this is something I have to commonly override in uBlock Origin. It is frustrating.

@Sempf@infosec.exchange @nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe I'll wear a mask if it's still on. But I am hoping they postpone.

@rotatoe@mastodon.social @MJmusicinears@mastodon.world no article so I'm not sure why he was arrested, but being active duty military, he's not allowed to engage in political speech while he's in uniform. He may be kicked out of the Air Force.

@w_b@mastodon.world @AnotherJen@mindly.social I have a 4x great grandfather who was apparently born in Canada. I think I'll have a lot of trouble proving that though.

@rrgeorge@raphus.social sorry to hear that but also glad you were able to find all the pieces!

@DamonHD @mattblaze @stefan @c_dan4th I agree. Some people are here solely to sell things. That's fine for them to do, but I'm probably muting them if they're annoying about it.
So to get very meta here over that thing we're talking about. Are "AI people" welcome on the fediverse? Yes. In the same way they are welcome to use Linux or KDE or heck HTTP. The question is what to do when they are here.
If I ran an instance, I wouldn't allow them to have accounts on my instance. I would block instances who catered to them. But are they allowed to use Mastodon? Of course.
We all have mute and block buttons. We should use them liberally.

@benjamineskola @inthehands I am fine with words being spelled differently in American English vs British English vs Indian English, etc.

@paul@oldfriends.live are you able to swim, Paul? And if not that maybe you can at least get a kiddie pool and dip your feet in.

@fesshole@mastodon.social Ohio and Michigan have a similar rivalry and I will still purchase Vernors or other products made in/created in Michigan.

@paul@oldfriends.live honestly didn't know anyone did home heating oil in Ohio. I thought it was all natural gas or propane.

@jschauma@mstdn.social there are people working for companies that base their productivity on how many tokens they're using in a day. This helps them pad that number.
People respond to incentives.
I'm probably overreacting and am just really pissed and everything right now, but it might be time to move the team.

@inthehands if they truly pronounce it "Chor-no-bull" (or as close as we can get using the sounds native to English) in their native language, that works for me.

@StevenSaus this was common at Wright State when I was there. There were people (The Quad Gods) who came to harass us and knew exactly where the line was so they wouldn't be arrested. They attempted to get us to fight them and then sue the school. We ridiculed them until they left. Rinse, repeat.

@inthehands @benjamineskola spelling reform will take a lot of work! More than anyone cares to put into it.
Replying to
@inthehands alternate take: place names in non-latin alphabets should be spelled phonetically in latin alphabets. I also expect "Ohio" to be spelled differently in Ukrainian/Russian/Japanese/etc.

@w_b@mastodon.world @fesshole@mastodon.social I'll take your word for it, but given I was born in '84, I don't recall the transition.
Replying to
@nixCraft@mastodon.social of course I know the difference. They all have different file names.
