@Grantscheam Where did you find this picture from 3024?

@N0ZB @bibliolater @psychology

A good example of this is the attempt to reduce school shootings to 0. Right now a new born child has a 2x higher chance of being struck by lightening in their life than do being shot in a school shooting.

Yet our desire to over optimize and take an exceedingly rare event and make it rarer will cause us to be unable to keep ourselves safe from other risks like violent crimes.

Interesting fact of the day: The origin of the octopusies' name remains a matter of debate among linguists. It is either due to the female of the species having 8 distinct vaginas, or because they only mate in October.

@lonelyowl13

The relevant point here isnt that children were killed but they were the overwhelming majority of those killed.

@charlesgaba

Wait, how did you determine that you increased it by 1%?

@JamesGleick

1) this only applyes to PoW type crypto, which is on its way out. Most other forms are not particularly wasteful.

2) These measures are not really an accurate way to measure it. It doesnt account for the fact that no additional energy is used unless the heat output of the mining computer exceeds the heat needed to keep your home warm. Up to that point there is 0 additional electricity cost and usage. This isnt accounted for in these numbers so they dont actually represent actual wasted electricity.

Accurate!

I am very happy to hear that, thank you.

@reviewer2

@reviewer2 No problem, thats the whole point of federation, so you dont have to feel your local admin is hostile towards you but is instead on your side. Otherwise might as well be on FB.

@creamqueen

Obviously Epstein was a pedo.

@Hyolobrika

Thats literally just a list of everyone epstein had a phone number for. A very far cry from a client list.

@creamqueen

@reviewer2 Edit button will be comming very soon. We are in the process of doing a rather big update, it will take several steps, but will introduce tons of new features on top of what we already have.

@creamqueen No client list of epstein was every published. You are probably refering to the court documents which names several people who had interactions with epstein, but nothing resembling a client list itself.

@reviewer2 Thats bonkers man... I would have left too to be honest.

@josh Huh? How you figure they can never be held accountable?

I really miss Stephan.

Hey, did they say the post you boosted perpetuated ableism, or were they saying the account in general was ableist and therefore you cant boost anything from the account?

I just looked at the OP you are boosting, not the account just the image, and its really hard for me to see how that deserved moderator intervention. As the admin of QOTO I see nothing wrong with that post. In fact, while a bit hypberbolic, its kinda true. At least for the USA, everyone is pretty clinical at this point.

Side note. Did you review our rules? That is probably the best way for you to get a sense for this server and if it matches your needs. We do moderate, and we do restrict some things, but I like to think we are pretty reasonable overall.
