Florida department of health posts updated COVID-19 booster guidance that is just a list of anti-vax conspiracies
  • If we want to get technical, I assume the "dept" part is also a delusion.

    No way these goons can maintain the typical function of a basic office environment. I bet you half the time employees get there in the morning and nobody has unlocked the door and nobody has a key, water cooler has been empty for 8 months and the power just went off because the person that was supposed to pay that bill was arrested last week after being caught with an underage rape victim that they "mentor" in bible study.... Again.

    Danny Masterson Accuser Slams New Linkin Park Singer For Silence On Scientology
  • On Saturday Carnell-Bixler condemned Armstrong and Linkin Park in a statement, writing:

    Dear Emily, If you’re not going to speak out against the human and child trafficking cult in which you are apart of and in which you enable by remaining silent on the crimes you know about then you have no right to fill the shoes of Chester Bennington, a true advocate. I don’t give a fuck that you are very close to the serial rapist. I don’t give a fuck that you lied in your “apology” instagram story. I do care that you participated, after being asked, in the cruel intimidation of Jane Doe 1 with your cult pals at court. I do care that you didn’t once mention that you are a member of a child and human trafficking cult that covers up the abuses and rapes of CHILDREN and adults. I do care that your parents work for OSA (the office of special affairs) of the cult of Scientology which have been ordering attacks on me and my family which includes murdering my dogs in the most inhumane and evil ways. I do care that they have been attacking and harassing my fellow sister survivors. You don’t speak out against Scientology not because you’re terrified of them. You don’t speak out because you are one of them. Shame on Linkin Park. Fuck you.

    “Scientology P.I.’s outside our house all day,” she also wrote in an earlier Story. “Stole our trash… And other things. Documented.” Bixler-Zavala shared his wife’s statement, adding additional context and telling Linkin Park, “You should fire your entire team for not thoroughly vetting your choice. You’re a Disney level brand trying to make a comeback and you didn’t think to spend a little money on looking into her? Stop playing at the drive in’s music on your pre show playlist.”

  • An actual crunchwrap has never looked like that.

    They need to remake "falling down" for millenials, but it's at taco bell. Or maybe they don't, I don't know...

  • "Many people call it Pennsylvania okay. Some call it Arizona, but many call it Pennsylvania too. Most say they don't even know what it's called but the ones who do, they call it Pennsylvania, okay? and you know that, and I know that and we know that, which is why nuclear, because my uncle, John trump, okay, and this guy was rough okay? Rough and tough, and BIG. okay big tears in his eyes and he says, "ummm Mr trump sir... Ummm ummm". But you can't do that anymore right, they don't let you, but that had, they called it Wharton business school. And you need to know business, you need to know DEALS okay, and they say, I mean you hear this, you hear many people saying this, that, "trump does deals". And the greats say it, you see orban, and they call him strong okay, I'm strong, she's not strong okay, golf it's heavy, you can't just do golf if you're a lady and you know that. But yeah, lady marmalade was what me and Jeff called this one girl, and she was.... I mean, you could do it in those days, and they'd let you and you did it and we all did it and it was great. And that's why okay, that's and you see the shirts and they say it, MAGA okay, MAGA, and it says "make an elephant grapes again" and that's really it. But the whole thing is just a hoax okay, and Hunter Biden did Hillary emails and it's, of course it is right? And it's sleepy joe ON STEROIDS we call it, and where is he now? You don't see him anymore, it's like he's not even running for president, but that's why I think Tim Waltz is gonna be the future vice president."

  • Ha, this is just him admitting that she'll win. Just like trump calling Walz the future vice president. Losers are quiet quitting their fascism.

    I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.

    Do "anonymous" callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

    As a little background, I didn't actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I'm never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter).

    Just bringing up a point that I'm not sure I'd seen anyone discussing directly over here; the general sentiment and quality of posted information on Reddit has become tangibly worse in multiple ways (I think coinciding with this group, us, leaving).

    Now don't get me wrong, Reddit sucked in many ways and for long before the migrations to Lemmy, but there is a noticeable difference in a few key areas:

    1. Less skepticism in replies

    2. Less sourcing of information in posts and replies

    3. Less counter positions expressed generally

    4. If there is a decent reply, you have to scroll much further down to find it

    5. Less plain labeling of obvious bullshit

    Many of us used to introduce counter viewpoints or clarifying information into posts, with sources. That functionally worked as a roadblock to stall the quickly building momentum of disinformation/misinformation. Those roadblocks often feel absent over there now, IMO.

    Not saying we hold a responsibility to go back there or that we were saving lives before, but the difference is very apparent to me - Have you seen it? Any examples?

    Assuming to artificially secure people with new memberships through their first 4-6 weeks to establish a habit through the first billing cycle. Is this a known thing?

    Through the great depression...

    When 9/11 happened...

    The 2008 housing crash...

    COVID...

    On a smaller scale, when the Titanic sank, I'm assuming someone inevitably got rich from the aftermath somehow?

    Who are the people/groups that make up history's must successful parasites? Who "came out on top" in each instance of historical human suffering?

    So obviously we're all on Lemmy for a complicated combination of reasons, but we all likely share some common ground, namely...

    • need for privacy
    • need to own/control/access the data we produce
    • healthy skepticism about the trustworthiness of for-profit corporations, in general

    So if we don't want meta to know even innocuous things; like how many times/when we message our grandma, and we don't google to know when we're searching for remedies to a rash, and we don't want reddit to... Well we just don't want reddit - we don't want them to profit from or weaponize that data against us in a myriad ways.

    We also don't want them artificially removing features and creating tiered layers of service/value hidden behind a paywall (I understand this is very present in the some of the commercially available DNA services).

    So that brings me to DNA testing services. Since they started to emerge in the mainstream they were immediately an interesting, exciting novelty and I also knew it was data I wouldn't feel safe trusting with a for-profit org - with broken systems like law enforcement and health insurers on speed dial and just salivating for the goodies they collect.

    So all that considered, any groups that provide this type of service that you do trust/use, and why?

    Hey all, I used to use a to do app and can't remember name, it was very distinct though, please help!

    • visual aesthetic was of an IRL open paper journal (distinct touch: out had a coffee stain on upper corner of the paper)
    • extremely simple, text input on lines and a checkbox to complete (animation of pen crossing by hand would play IIRC)
    • only option besides complete/delete was to move to "tomorrow". Then when you flipped the page (animation) you'd see the next day's tasks.
    • only looked at today and tomorrow in favor of simplicity
    • For some reason, I want to think it was just called "today" or "tomorrow".

    Any ideas?
