Bad Luck vs Misfortune

Bad luck is usually one simple act: You stub your toe, you roll a 1, you get farted on in bed.

Misfortune is a series of bad luck moments that build up with time: You keep stubbing your toe all day, the monsters win the encounter, that wasn't a fart...

Misery loves company so let's get this pity party started.

  • Unless you have a secondary timeserver set up, blocking pool.npt.org is going to mess up a lot of programs that are dependent on time.

  • Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...
  • I may be weird, but I don't mind the YouTube shorts too much.

    It's like a little taste of the people I subscribe to.

  • What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right?
  • I've done ny best to shake out ableist, racist, and other harmful speech.

    We may be able to speak freely but we are all held accountable for the words we say

  • What do you think it would take for people to leave GitHub?
  • Github works and it's worked for a long time

    Unless they pull a Reddit, then it will be the main source for a long time

    See, sites run by sane people know that so long as you give a consistent functioning product then the base will stay and grow.

    They don't even have to innovate much so long as those two factors are there

  • Joey for Reddit went down today
  • I wonder when the shock of reddit being evil will ware off

  • The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people.
  • They're just doing their part for decentralized social media.

    If their fans love them enough, they'll make an account.

  • Opinion | A Federal Judge Asks: Does the Supreme Court Realize How Bad It Smells?
  • Why would they care? They are, consequence free, rewriting the laws to more fit their needs.

    They don't need to justify their existence when there is no consequence for any action that they take…

  • Reddit is removing years of chats and messages
  • It's funny, all they had to do was make better mod tools then stay the course and Reddit would have been the biggest social media company.

    All of this change for the worse will end up killing them in the long run

  • Muskrat rule
  • Musk needs to serve those papers to Reddit too.

    They're not even changing the plagiarism to try to hide it.

  • Passwords
  • It's best to avoid passwords that include your fetish

    If someone gets to know you, they can more easily guess that you're a Hamtaro or Richard Gere fetishist

  • Questing
  • That's 'uncle Jack's horse' level of misunderstanding

  • If Lemmy is going to come up with their own version of Reddit's AMA, what are you going to call it?
  • Why complicate things?

    AMA is already defined in our lexicon beyond Reddit

  • Reddit is replacing / modifying the Reddit gold feature, what are your thoughts ?
  • It smells Musk-y

    Absolutely the second to last person to emulate. Second only to Trump.

  • What is your favorite older movie that could NEVER get made in this day and age?
  • Blazing Saddles

    We need more movies with the soul of Blazing Saddles, though

  • Any Starbound fans here?
  • I was a part of the beta testing cycle for Starbound but its been years since played last

    I may have ti fix that

  • Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
  • I just signed up for a more local instance, but I've been looking for an easier way to swap over my subscriptions

  • Firmware.
  • Its firm where it counts.

  • Reddit kills awards and coins
  • Right but people paid a lot for them. Hell I had 5k coins stored before I left reddit.

    I'd be pissed if I didn't leave

    True Crime @lemmy.world popemichael @lemmy.world

    Mitchelle Blair tortured and abused her two children to death, leaving thier bodies in the freezer in her living room.

    Mitchelle Blair, on the word of her youngest child, tortured her two other children for over a week until they died. The youngest child accused their siblings of SA, which is why Mitchelle Blair took in on herself to torture them in all sorts of horrific ways.

    One of the most memorable parts of the case was in how much detail she gave the court. She went into how she tortured them, what she did, how the kids reacted. It's some real horrific stuff.

    You can see the full confession here but be warned that it's highly graphic.

    There's a lot of push back here, because the evidence shows that Mitchelle Blair may have been the actual sexual abuser here. At the very least, even if she didn't do the SA of her kids, she for sure got confessions out of her two kids via torture. As everyone knows, confessions received via torture are about as reliable as the polygraph test.

    A Wicked World just did a fantastic video on the case. They're a real hidden gem who does the case justice.

    What pain level do you live with daily and what's that level to "normal" people?

    We all live with an acceptable amount of pain since we have no choice.

    What do you rate your every day pain?

    If someone swapped bodies with you, what would THEY rate that pain?
