I wish that article had more information on how the framed person proved their innocence. It's probably boring but he must have felt like he was taking crazy pills when he was framed.

Reading comprehension is incredibly important. Bullshit filter also sorely needed. I get very frustrated when I see people falling for obvious false information. I've been shown AI videos that are clearly fake but they believe it.

I think my favorite are conspiracy theories who won't believe something backed with like, facts, but will believe this 30 seconds tik Tok from someone they don't know quoting someone they also don't know.

He really spends his money poorly

I could do so much with his wealth with far less harm caused

For real.

They could've been making GTA levels of money. Soooo many people were able to overlook the terribleness of the author just to be able to be in the Harry Potter world.

To add on for anyone who is lazy like me, the thing where Google summarizes says California has classified bees as fish under an environmental protection act. According to the first result (Reddit) it's because fish is a catch all term in that law. Instead of listing all the animals they just use fish. Because fish,bees, and the other animals are all invertebrates.

Now whoever reads this has three Lemmy comments, a reddit thread reference, and an ai overview reference as some solid sources

I haven't heard anything about Gaza not online. I work blue collar and am surrounded by low information/conservative people. I can't think of any time any of them mentioned Palestine or Gaza.

Venezuela has come up far more often. Lots of racism and at my job I'm the minority being white. I've heard absolute crazy shit from my coworkers mouths and sometimes have walked them through their thought process and that usually ends up with them saying "when you put it like that it sounds mean".

I don't think many of them actually vote though. I know personally its hard for me to make it in time to vote if I don't request off or something.

All that to say I agree. I know my little work place isn't representative of everyone but it's a common thread of almost everyone we hire.

Looking like a complete dork, especially a goth(?) dork, should make someone more relatable to me. These just make me angry. Even the photo with Maxwell could be just celebrity/wealthy people having smaller visible social circle and nothing sinister behind the scenes.

But they don't. Because musk had to be the person he is.

I don't think Pete is the next FDR but if he becomes it and improves the lives of millions of people I wouldn't care about his motivations. If his selfishness/ego drove him to improve America then I'm okay with that.

But like I said I doubt that will happen.

Is it because there's a whole ton of people who are simply selfish?

Wow

I haven't used a mouseball mouse since i was a kid but your description brought back a visceral memory of doing exactly exactly that.

I know a lot of terrible things are going on but it's stuff like this that also eats at my brain. It's so incredibly stupid, pointless and is petty the right word?

I definitely got my vape more than I used to smoke cigs. However it's only one or two puffs usually. A whole cigarette is many more puffs.

I don't know if it equals out or one is more. I will say vaping feels better than cigarettes.

Mine unlocks the cheat codes from Jedi knight 2. So probably dismembered by jedi or sith spawns

I love that game but absolutely suck at timing dodges/counters. Almost every fight I restart because I forget or screw up the enemy patterns.

Still having a blast

Of course it is

He's like a preschooler trying to use their power level

I've been overwhelmed with all the US news. This is unexpected but welcome news

I wish she had won too. Didn't really like her but she was miles ahead of trump. I don't think you should be torn between the two, I think it was both. She listened to some very bad advice and believed the information she had at hand.

Oh wow, thanks!

Can't be having those guards kill the new emperor. Makes sense

I wonder if the guards expected it or not

I once saw some clip of a carrot top show and he did admittedly make me laugh. I do like puns though
