Now we need an "Oops, All Paperclips!" version. Preferably all sharp metal, even if it is only half as likely to cut your mouth as Captain Crunch.

Wimdows 11 broke my laptop's built in screen support, so it's long overdue for a Linux upgrade. I just can't decide which-- I like what Steam did with Arch, but I tried Manjaro and it was kind of ok until I borked it messing around as one does. Once I can decide a distro though, fuck Windows.

I just beat Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and they said it was long and tedious but I really enjoyed it. It's a lot darker than the other games and had the potential to be my second favorite after 2 had they remade it (and maybe favorite if they kept multiplayer and revamped it to allow it in story mode). Just watching the "HD" cutscenes reminded me just how much of a missed opportunity that was.

The better answers in these comments already explain the main reason the answer is no, but I want to add how impractical it is given the purple reality of most communities.

In my townhome community, there are about 33-33-33 split between Harris, Trump, and unvoting across 17 units (most unvoting being green cards like my wife). If Trump straight up announced a civil war, would my neighbor go to war with me? Extremely unlikely, especially since one of the Trumpsters adore my kids and would probably shut down anyone trying shit.

I think most modern day civil wars are military coops, and that just isn't happening here. You might see some militia and unrest, maybe another Jan 6, but that's not the same as a real civil war.

Oh holy fuck it's only 15 days away! Anxiety!

Also having seen the guy, makes sense you can't ban bad takes (or at least, shouldn't) but my sense is he just likes to be infamous. Hell, this is a post about his banning, even! He's probably loving the attention.

Still, I've got my Lemmy heroes


obsessive posting can be used for good, like a certain maneuver named after a certain starship captain.

Damned car lobby keeping us from high speed rail in Antarctica. Just try looking up walking directions on Google maps, you just know it'll have you going all sorts of ways because there no pedestrian infrastructure!

This is very... upsetting.

Cool cool, but I'm chunkling at the name given it sounds like Daredevil is going to find God and go all soft and preachy.

This is an image I didn't know I needed in my life. I shall now share it without any context to a friend. Thank you.

No, especially not these days. But on Lemmy, if you go unfiltered like me, your All channel will in fact have porn in it... sometimes remarkably high up at like 100+ votes.

I'm too much of a purist to edit my feed though (plus who doesn't want a little porn, as a treat).

Yeah, I used to work in a field with huge samples so significance wasn't really all that useful. I usually just report significant coefficients and try to make clear what changes by model. For instance, if a type of curriculum showed improvements on test scores, you simply say how much and, possibly, illustrate it by saying if a person went from 50th percentile to 55th percentile.

Every field varies, though. I find it crazy how much psychologists I've worked with cared about r-squared. To each their own, I guess.

Unfortunately, surveys still suggest atheists (and "nones") in general are a minority in the US, although it's growing. But yeah, that's a true statement anyway.

I'd imagine Oklahoma is probably one of the worst, though there's a saying in atheist communities: fastest way to make someone athiest is to make them read the Bible. On that, they might be doing atheists a service, haha.
