    What are the most unhinged cartoons in your expert opinion?

    Jump

  • Ren and Stimpy was already mentioned, and that one is pretty out there. Rocko's Modern Life would be a trailing second place imo. Plenty of innuendos and inappropriate storylines in that cartoon.

  • Do you still have one somewhere?

    Jump

  • I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.

  • Which country do you live in and how much paid time off work do you get?

    Jump

  • US. 30 days per year, plus all federal holidays and a handful of extra days. Also unlimited sick leave with supervisor approval.

    Edit: Missed the other part of your question. I usually take a week here or there, but try to take at least one stretch of 2-3+ weeks every year.

  • Just FYI, you can link YT videos that start at a specific timestamp by adding "&t=x" to the url, where x is the time in seconds where you want the video to start.

  • Why are you proud of yourself tonight?

    Jump

  • I reunited my wife with her semi-estranged son on Mother's Day. Feeling pretty damn great about how today turned out.

  • Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ’03 ‘plagiarized’ small portions of his senior thesis, experts say. But how serious is it?

    Jump

  • A few beers short of a six pack. In his defense, he already drank them.

  • What is the dumbest tattoo you have ever seen?

    Jump

  • Ironic, considering back pieces like this are usually the result of drugs and/or alcohol.

  • If they are training the AI with copyrighted data that they aren't paying for, then yes, they are doing the same thing as traditional media piracy. While I think piracy laws have been grossly blown out of proportion by entities such as the RIAA and MPAA, these AI companies shouldn't get a pass for doing what Joe Schmoe would get fined thousands of dollars for on a smaller scale.

  • I'm so hungry

    Jump

  • Buddy, I'm 41, and I always thought until just now it was saying you were "so hungry you could eat a(n entire) horse."

  • Crazy? Or sensible? Guess we'll find out...

    Jump

  • i wish I got paid in memes.

  • At least 4,500 Americans per year die from hydroxyl acid exposure

    Jump

  • But I'd literally die without it.

  • Right now I'm working myself up, I'm in the 4-5 range. How many pills do you plan on taking when you're older?

    Jump

  • Currently 41, not taking anything daily yet.

  • China now faces 245% Trump tariff

    Jump

  • Seems like this is just setting up the potential for someone in Australia to act as a middleman for Chinese products to the US and make a healthy profit while doing so.

  • I can't speak for any specific instance, but I believe many of the smaller ones that defederated lemmy.world were concerned that a large user base with looser sign-up requirements would disrupt the community they wanted to build.

  • This is mostly correct, but another point to consider (once OP becomes more familiar with the basics) is the concept of defederation. Basically, not all instances permit interactions with each other. Many smaller instances have defederated from lemmy.world, for example. That means that users on those instances can not directly interact with communities hosted on lemmy.world, although you could still encounter users from that instance in a post on a community in a different instance that is federated with both.

    If the instance you are currently on has defederated from another one that you would like to browse, you will need to create a new user account on that instance (or one that hasn't defederated from it).

  • I have a government-issued iPhone. It has Signal on it, and I have access to the appstore. It's also not allowed to be used for anything but unclassified communication and isn't permitted inside restricted areas.

  • Trump officials shared military plans on a private app — 10 years after uproar over Hillary Clinton’s private server

    Jump

  • Let's also be clear: Signal, regardless of their encryption standards, is not an approved system for any kind of classified information. Leaks of this nature have the potential to cost people's lives. Every single person in that group chat would have known this. Many of them have original classification authority.

    Further, not only was the platform not approved for the information, the messages were set to disappear after some time. This is a violation of government record keeping laws and FOIA standards. This wasn't an oopsie.
