Because it allows for proper prioritization of needs, allows for the better exploitation of our surroundings (as tool using animals), and is INCREDIBLY useful for helping us try to “model” other human’s behaviors and act as social animals as opposed to just being the regular kind.

Probably the most impact “Why” question probably started occurring before we were even human and it was “Why did they do that?”

Being able to understand the motivations of other beings is absolutely fucking incredibly overpowered both in terms of cooperative action with your fellows AND destructive action against foes/food sources.

No, it’s just a matter of who they accept as legitimate “authority”.

If the Dumbass-in-Chief, their ministers, and their news had all told them to wear masks, they absolutely would have, but every single one of their primary authority sources were pulling in different directions and they don’t accept any “liberal” sources as legitimate authority. You can see it at a much smaller scale by looking at Church congregation sizes where some ministries focused on trying to protect their elderly and infirm members and those who didn’t.

Conservatives who had pastors who told them to wear masks were a LOT more likely to do so than ones who were getting mixed messaging.

It’s almost 100% because they were in violation of at least some of the content policies found here

It’s just that the Fediverse now has enough global attention being paid to it that they’re probably actually cracking down on enforcement. Probably something under the “Insults” or “Racism” content policy, since those are the most vague and poorly defined and highly likely to be “obvious” primarily to the country who is operating them, Mali.

As someone who tried to use Tidal for nearly a year because it paid better rates, it’s literally just 2 things: Artist Discovery and Algorithm Degradation towards a mass consumer mean.

Spotify actually feeds me tons of great indie artists I’ve never heard before. Tidal was a constant struggle to purge mass produced giant record label pop from constantly infiltrating every single station and it almost never gave me some little artist who maybe has 5k listens total. I get those literally every single day from Spotify though.

Void is gonna do real well this year, I’d imagine.

Meta provides a lot of other backend B2B services beyond just Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

You think that’s the only way they have of scarfing down data? Absolutely not, they make other useful tools as well that businesses can use, because if they can’t get their info directly from you, they can get it from the people you have to regularly interact with instead.

It has a pretty severe memory leak issue during the period where Chrome siphoned off most of its users.

Oh interesting, so it seems like the actual winning play is to swish with water and a bit of toothpaste probably, since it contains a small amount of base to help negate the acid.

Based on the article, it’s the mechanical brushing part that makes it bad.

That’s probably the optimal play, yeah.

Make sure to brush your teeth afterward and don’t make a habit of it. Acid damage will fuck your teeth up real good if you’re turning to this regularly.

Depending on how many gummy worms and their manner of entrance, they will potentially expedite themselves.

Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we’re the first waves of Lemmy’s Eternal September for some folks here.

That sounds like coward talk.

It’s easy.

You don’t pay for your games in cash. You pay for your games by being an attack node in a hire4pay DDOS botswarm.

The wonders of living in the future.
