@pluralistic Wow. I was so convinced of that one that I had to test it myself to confirm. Thanks for the correction.
I guess the only real answer then is to join an instance without a character limit so you don't have to thread posts together at all.
@JoshuaHolland Do they still deserve to have a "majority leader" if they can't maintain a majority?
@pluralistic Instead of putting long threads behind content warnings, why not just mark replies as unlisted?
That way, only the thread top post shows up in our home feeds and we don't have to click through endless CWs to read the thread.
Uh oh, the British are totally going to go back to their old conquery empire ways without their medicine, aren't they?

There was some especially strange #weather late last night in #CentralFlorida... The night was perfectly still for 5-10 minutes before a sudden, strong, sustained gust tore through for about a minute and then it got calm again. This pattern repeated for an hour or two at least.
@kevkev I am, actually. While I've moved to Godot for all personal projects (and recommend it to my clients), I do use Unity at multiple clients' request. Big thing about being a contractor is quickly adjusting to a client's preferred dev environment.
@kevkev FWIW, I literally am a game developer who also writes code for medical training simulators for spinal surgery.
You'd be surprised how much transfers. I've also spent time writing corporate data systems, industrial valve controllers, theater scheduling systems...
In Florida at least, "painting over it" is a derogatory term for superficially fixing a problem without doing anything to address the root causes. It comes from our shittiest landlords, who are notorious for painting over cracks and holes in walls and, in one case that was famous on social media a while back, even painting over a cockroach.
Given that context, I'm not sure this ad sends the right message. We need to address the cause of the problem, not just paint over its symptoms.
I don't watch the Super Bowl, so I only saw a bunch of complaints in social media about a swastika appearing in an ad. This is a very powerful ad. ...
#Steam is currently selling a game about Alex Jones and suddenly I don't feel like giving them a bunch of my money for new games anymore.
@fakertarians Oh, I thought he was talking about boarders like the pirates who storm a vessel. But even then, that definition only works for, like, Norway, Somalia, and the Bahamas.
@funes I'm not offering advice or criticism, just expressing a difference of opinion. Are you implying that sharing opinions is offensive now?
@talia_christine Hmm. I disagree with that. Denying reality to feel better about oneself is at the root of a lot of evil in this world.
@talia_christine Even if that happiness is predicated on a house of cards?
It's nuts that the government tells me what my property taxes are, but not what my income taxes are.
Property owners essentially get math subsidized by the government while non-property-owners get fuck all.
@SecurityWriter @sambowne The most egregious ones always do.
@pepita Yeah, but there are still a fair number of people using local mail clients with insecure SMTP over insecure public networks, especially on mobile hardware. This is especially true for employees of small businesses who want their own domain name, but outsource the mail hosting to a cheap unreliable company to save money.
It's certainly not the most common attack vector anymore, but for sensitive legal and medical information, I'd still lean towards something like a secure document portal.

The year is 2025. Instead of having newscasters, mainstream media channels now permanently display the president's age on the screen, down to the millisecond. Every minute a voice announces that the president is now a minute older than they were a minute ago. Somewhere in the world, bombs are being dropped on a country you've never even heard of. The headline on the screen reads "The president is now three times as old as the world's oldest dog".
@Nick_Craver What? I've boycotted places for less egregious offenses than that. Their food better be damn good if you keep coming back to try again after such an experience.

This is the ship Jutlandia, which Denmark sent into the Korean War in 1950 with 356 hospital beds, 4 operating rooms, and a dental clinique.
We sent Jutlandia to Korea, not because this war was our war, but because we could save the lives of American soldiers. The Danes fought alongside American soldiers in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in many other conflicts.
Trump saying he will not help US allies, is spitting in the face of every allied country, who has fought alongside the US for decades.
