I think deepfake porn is a bad call. Not only are you using nudes w/o the people’s permission to train the a.i. but you’re generating graphic content of people who don’t want themselves exposed like that

I would like to see darknetmarkets make a comeback. There really isn’t a way to find any darknet sites without being told about it. shoplifting would be a good one too esp since that subreddit always discouraged people from stealing from small businesses/encouraged ethical stealing which I appreciate.

I also think subreddits centered around conspiracies like pizzagate should make a comeback even though that doesn’t interest me personally.

I’m flippant on cringeanarchy. Before it was taken over by trolls, racists, etc, it was actually interesting. I’d like to see something similar but I worry it invites the same fate

this is genuinely mind boggling. So he plans on eventualy making twitter pay to play!?

When there’s no war, people like Hitler won’t have any opposition to their rise to power. Haiti never gains independence. We’d never have escaped feudalism.

Most wars are stupid bullshit and suck ass. The military, especially the US military, is the biggest waste of money ever. That doesn’t mean that war isn’t directly tied to lots of positive things like innovation. There’s so much medical, industrial, and geographical knowledge we wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for some war, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. People’s ideas will always conflict because different groups of people are going to have goals unique to them that clash with others

Now if you were to ask how to stop unnecessary wars, better more efficient rulers. Most of the people in power today are complete hacks. It’s crazy

But I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of war and I don’t know if that’s necessarily that crazy? Ultimately it’s apart of how we grow as societies

Very good point

This is actually really helpful, thanks!

hahah you’re good. I might have to try pixelfed! and hosting a wordpress site would be cool but I really wanna interact with people, get mutuals, that sorta thing. I feel like I’m constantly interacting with people on lemmy and I’m lucky if someone even likes my comment on mastodon lmao

I’m honestly torn. Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that. I also find it very interesting that they tore into the rough around the edges federating of mastodon without mentioning how smooth it is on lemmy, kbin, etc. Though to be honest I tried mastodon and it did feel kinda dead

that’s honestly strange

you can use an indoor adhesive to fill the chipped area, paint it, and glaze it to fix it. there’s different adhesives and glazes out there so I would recommend looking into what the mug’s made of and trying to match materials. Keep in mind that if it’s dishwasher/microwave safe the adhesive/glaze you use might affect that

You can also use a polymer clay and glaze to fix it. Keep in mind polymer clay needs to bake to set so the mug HAS to be dishwasher safe (since it’ll be able to withstand high heats!)

People are seriously unbelievable. House sitting and dog sitting are both jobs 😭

To answer very literally, no. The water itself isn’t thicker, it’s the same. It is denser because the pressure is significantly higher, because the water is colder, and to a small degree because salt settles down

However I also wanted to consider what’s in the water so I did a bit of research and while there’s a higher density of salt at the bottom of the ocean there’s more bacteria and other small organisms higher up toward the top of the water. So if you’re only thinking about pure water than it’s the same but if you’re trying to compare water content it seems to be thicker / more condensed higher up

I love baba is you

I found a specific Lemmy instance that I wanted to join. For what I use it for the format suits me better but if not for this instance I probably would’ve been on kbin just cuz it seems easier to interact with mastodon through it

My mom said they’re gonna announce paperboy 2

I hope you can find the right level of support you need - and if that ends up being no support I hope you can still find peace in learning more about yourself (signed, a 188 score)

You can take a self administered autism test like this one. I also recommend checking out the website hosting the test, it’s informative without overwhelming you

It was important for me to pick an instance that allowed nsfw content fairly liberally so I could post/share art I make. I also personally like to be able to talk to the server owner and didn’t see having to be given access as a downside

Trans, in NYC, can confirm lol

Literally been thinking about this so thank you beautiful brained individual. Would you mind if I shouted this in the YSK group?

On Lemmy you can’t and I’ve gotten the impression they won’t be adding it either. You can on mastodon and plethora
