More proof that hydroxychloroquine is a miracle drug and the lizard people just don’t want us to know about it.

The Copycat Theory certainly accounts for a portion of the sightings. Anybody that doesn’t think there are a lot of people with drones that would go flying them during this just to mess with their neighbors is a fool.

Mass hysteria also certainly accounts for more of the sightings. You only need 1 out of every 600 people to see an airplane/satellite/bright star and think they’re seeing a mysterious object to have over half a million Americans saying they’ve seen one. I’ve personally known several people in my life that would easily fall into this camp. Need I remind anyone about rainbow sprinkler lady?

As for what got this all started or any current sightings (if there are any, anymore) that don’t fall into the above categories? 🤷

To hell with safety! Screw the comfort of the drivers that have to spend hours a day in it. Let’s make sure @bulwark never has to look at something they find displeasing.

I’m not familiar with that one. I was thinking about the land along the Mexican border.

Private companies can have multiple investors.

Maybe they could do it Cards Against Humanity style, and let millions of us each own a tiny slice of it.

they will begin typing every single document to have ever existed, along with every document that will exist

Excellent. Now I just need to figure out which one of them is doing my taxes.

FFS, it’s one monkey and infinite years. This is the second time I’ve seen someone make this mistake in an AI article in the past month or so.

Tranfering between devices on the LAN.

Edit: Wait, no, it’s the other way around. 2.5 on WAN, and just a single 1GB LAN port. That absolutely doesn’t make sense.

I don’t think some of the other comments are adequately expressing just how big this parade is. I was going to say that this is the Superbowl of parades, but then realized that that might not help. So…

This is the World Cup of parades in the US. Televised nationally. It’s playing in the background in a lot of households, as a matter of tradition, while families prepare food, play games, etc.

Yes. You were complaining about how absolutely awful it is to have to figure out how to choose which Mastodon server to create an account on, because this “federation” thing is soooooo damn complicated to understand.

Then, it was pointed out to you that choosing an email server is no different. Billions of people around the world have been successfully choosing an email server (and switching to different email servers when appropriate for them, or even having multiple accounts on different email servers).

The email example is often used against the"FeDeRaTiOn Is ToO cOMpLiCaTeD" complaint because, other than the specific protocol servers use to communicate with each other, they’re no different. You have an account on service A, your grandmother has an account on service B, and all you need to communicate with her is her address… EXACTLY like every ActivityPub federated service. It’s not complicated.

The person responding to you quite sarcastically pointed how how awful it must have been for you to choose an email server, since you were complaining that this whole “federation” thing is soooooo complicated. And your response was that, in fact, it was very easy for you. You made their point for them and didn’t even realize it.

Furthermore, you’re having this discussion on Lemmy, a federated service, from your account on one of many federated servers, communicating with people on completely different Lemmy servers all over the world.

So, to beat a dead horse to a pulp…

It must have been awful for you to choose which Lemmy server to sign up for. So much unnecessary complication. Simply participating in this discussion on a federated service must be extremely taxing on your cognition. /s/s/s/s/s

I didn’t suffer? I got my email in computer lab when I was a kid. I didn’t have to choose the teacher showed us Gmail.

That’s not the comeback you think it is.

A few newly planted trees aren’t going to be the thing that stops a business from going in if that’s what someone wanted to do. There are plenty of hurdles to opening a business, from owning or leasing the land, to business permits, etc, but a few newly planted trees aren’t going to stop anyone.

What are you talking about?

legitimate faith-based initiatives

Found the oxymoron.

I think the point is that you can recheck it weekly if you want to see how much it changed.

Unless he also outlaws pasteurized milk, I’ll have 0 sympathy for any adults that die drinking raw milk. This country seems to be in dire need of a toxic cleansing. I’m sad COVID didn’t do the job better.

If the polls close while you’re still in line, stay in line – you have the right to vote.

I feel like that is worded poorly. I think it should say something more like…

• If the closing time for the polls passes while you are in line, don’t panic. As long as you are in line before closing time, and stay in line, the polls will stay open long enough for you, and everyone else that was in line on time, to vote.

Granted it’s not as pithy, but the first version just gives me the mental image of a bunch of people belligerently standing in line in the dark at a locked door demanding to be let in.
