  • He’s currently not working due to a heart problem and was denied Medicaid and other services for Caroline because he could not provide a Social Security number for her. A simple check-up for Caroline at the pediatrician’s office recently cost Kilburn about $700, he said, making him hesitant about going to other doctor’s visits.

    This would be just something annoying for this dude if it wasn't for the broken ass system we live in.

  • Is there any legit reason to be against lab grown meat?

  • He's basically like "when you think about it, isn't it her fault i fell for a deepfake?" nah, man.

  • It sounds like at first he thought he had a food allergy or something. It's tough to blame a dude who's been in a coma for not having all his mental faculties and puzzling out he's a victim of attempted murder.

    i wonder if it bothers her that her primary victim got away, or if she's satisfied that she fucked him up forever by killing a bunch of his relatives.

  • COSAR praised the hikers for reporting the sound and reminded the public that their services are always free, even suggesting the money saved could “be spent on singling lessons.”

    Damn!

  • You try to do everything right, but in this administration, that just means there's a record of you they can use to make you suffer.

  • There are cats out there who would prefer to be an only cat, so tell the people at the humane society that you're looking for that, and they might even have some adoptable cats to suggest right away. When I was looking to adopt a cat who'd be good with my other cat, I ran across a bunch who were great with people and not other cats. I don't think you'll have trouble.

  • There's a line where I wouldn't want to taste a weird flavor, and this article made me realize battery doesn't cross it. Life is a never-ending series of personal discoveries.

  • it sucks that i'm curious

  • So she was abused and dealt with it by deciding it was inevitable and everyone does it. What a terrible way of seeing other people.

  • I like the idea of low cost ways to prevent heat from getting in, but...

  • The problem is that moderators here and on reddit (i believe?) are volunteers, so they are going to have personal limits on what they'll accept. And if they can't have those, they won't do it. Someone else will have to volunteer for an unpaid position that can take up lots of their precious time on this earth.

    Start a mod fund and pay people, is my suggestion. The only rewards at the moment for moderating are, like, a smoothly running community. Tiny, mostly irrelevant power. Being a big fish in a small pond. Personal satisfaction? You can get that being treasurer at your local beading club, but there you get to mess around with beads. I dunno.

    As for making different platforms, there also has to be someone willing to do that work. Mostly thankless, and you'll always get it wrong somehow. I'm amazed anyone bothers.

  • I'm not really confused by them commissioning music. I've seen like, murals and so on in airports. I also like the idea of using recordings of background noise to make a track. It's the idea of playing ambient airport noises in an airport that confuses me. But that's art, I suppose. Something to think about. I don't think me being confused by the thought process here - knowing very little about the theory being ambient music - is a sign of the death of an empire. There's plenty of those around.

  • It's valuable for .ml to have duplicates since certain instances and numerous individuals are defederated from them. There are also people who are trying to diversify the fediverse by moving communities off .world. Big, opinionated communities like the different news communities are going to spawn new versions as people disagree with mod decisions or the background culture and feel they can't have the conversations they want.

    Some splitting is inevitable, imo, and healthy, though whether it's good in this or that particular case is a useful conversation to have. Merging communities is also useful, but only when it makes sense (one is barely moderated or barely used, or people have defederated from an instance one is on because of spam, etc.)

    I think it's a case by case basis type situation.

  • I did get jumpscared by the Weiner name. He was such a disappointment.
