Do you have any counter points or just a cheap joke?

It’s not insinuating that at all, in fact the article is pretty clear that this isn’t some sign of things to come, it’s pretty much only because OPEC and the US have been increasing supply of oil even though demand has been fairly stagnate or dropping. OPEC usually will slow production when prices get too low so there’s a good chance prices will start going back up again soon. The only reason this would be sustainable is if they chose to continue this level of production which they’d only do if they felt it could benefit them long term (for example if they think lower gas prices will prevent an increase in EV purchases, which is possible but not likely at this point).
This article is about a 19% drop in the last 2 months. Alternative energy methods didn’t increase in popularity/use enough in the last 2 months to cause that much of a drop. The article uses a decent amount of actual data analysis and sources and shows a pretty clear causality between the growth of supply and the stagnation of demand that led to the price drop.
Renewable energy has definitely led to an overall drop in price over the last 15 years but it wouldn’t cause a drop this drastic without a huge increase in use or improvement in technology.
I assume it was just a miss when they overhauled the code. You can probably block it through the website on your account in the meantime.
Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.
I’m finding out from this that it’s owned by the same company but Hinge has a better formula for that kind of thing. You comment on an aspect of their profile (a picture, their response to a prompt, etc) and that gets sent to them. Then they can reply (which triggers a “match”) or not. You can also send likes without a comment but obviously that won’t be as effective.
Yeah sounds like a Purple Cow, I’d be all over that
This is a problem with all of these Tik Tok clones (and even Tik Tok let’s you do it for some videos). It’d so annoying to be watching a 45 second reel but if I miss something, I have to watch the whole thing again
I’ve noticed them doing more flavors in the US as limited releases. There was a churro one recently. Hopefully the trend continues and some stuff becomes permanent.
It gives a timeframe so unless McConnell steps away very close to the next election, the governor would have to follow the law or not.
I doubt it’d be worth it to pursue. He could always argue he was changed at the time he said it but in between then and now, he changed his mind back.
Well “entertaining” is subjective. If these people weren’t entertaining, they wouldn’t have so many followers.
There are absolutely a ton of people out there taking advantage of certain people and manipulating them as opposed to actually being entertaining, but that’s not an “influencer” problem, that’s just a people problem. That happens in every industry with human interaction.
Plenty of influencers just post content they think their followers will like and use that following to make money as well. And a lot of the time, their followers actually enjoy the things they advertise.
And the great thing is if you don’t like the concept, you can just not follow them.
It’s the same building, just edited. You can tell the bottom half of the center is exactly the same and the the near sections of the wings are pretty similar. They just swapped out the top part and changed the windows on the far sections of the wings.
I get your point, but I think lemm.ee is still so much smaller than lemmy.world that it’s not much of a problem (at least not yet).
I think Kim gets sued for something similar in Better Call Saul. It’s almost definitely something you can get disbarred over.
The latter for sure. And to be fair, my experience wasn’t identical to what the post was asking. It wasn’t so much a house party as it was having ~10 friends over. And my dad was often home, just already asleep. I definitely wouldn’t have tried to have a legitimate house party with the cameras around.
My dad did have cameras all over the house while I was in high school. But there weren’t any in my room so we could hang out in there. There also weren’t any in the bathroom so we could stash the alcohol in there and just pour it into cups.
Both of these required a parent not that dedicated to actually stopping his kids from partying though. But a parent sufficiently dedicated was always going to be able to find out somehow.
I think it’s hilarious that the court was like “yeah it’s fucked up but it’s not technically fraud”
The ones I’ve had are usually similar price to the other burgers or a very slight increase and the patty quality was definitely better. If the price difference was like between wagyu steak and normal, I’d never even consider it.
It’d be a lot easier to not make a bot at all if that was the case. They aren’t intentionally not trying to help, they’re intentionally spending as few resources as possible on helping while still doing enough to satisfy most customers. It’s shitty but it’s not malicious like you guys are implying.
