Yeah I see this fairly often on lemmy, the same stories going round again and again for a week or so.

Here in the UK there have been a few cases of people of people who scampered off to join Isis etc who have had their citizenship removed and are unable to return to the country. I'm not a law-knower but I think this is pretty legally iffy, it certainly happens though.

Yeah, same with me. But I knew the ball was pushed and rolled to the edge of the table and then fell, so I feel like I got the most relevant bit.

Tbh I've never been good at visualising faces, recognising people I know, retracing a route I've taken etc. This just feels like one of those things I've never really been great at.

They were already shitheads.

Looks like Cornish pasties. Yummy.

I've been enjoying oxtail recently in Caribbean food, hadn't really tried it before. This looks great too.

Yeah same. I got a steam deck maybe six months ago, my backlog is so big I've only recently finished bioshock. Seems like a nifty little device and it seems to handle contemporary stuff okay too.

Interesting. . . I'd say Gemma 2B wasn't actually wrong - it just didn't answer the question you asked! I wonder if they have this problem with other letters - like maybe it's something to do with how we say w as double-you . . . But maybe not, because they seem to be underestimating rather and overestimating. But yeah, I guess the fuckers just can't count. You'd think a question using the phrase 'How many . . .' would be a giveaway that they might need to count something rather than rely on knowledge base.

Hillary Clinton being picked up and thrown in a car by one of her bodyguards when she seemed a little faint. Much of the internet concurred "The shoe come off - she dead."

Haven't seen any shoes coming off yet, there's still time though.

Isn't that room 237?

Respect for admitting you got conned the first time. All of us are vulnerable to propaganda, especially people who think they're not.

Successful non-violent direct action, good for them.

Yeah, I've been avoiding this stuff the past few months by only letting my laptop online for quick essentials things. It's windows, I can't replace it with a mac so it's gotta be linux. Most online stuff I can do on my phone. But I can't put it off forever; I'm going to have to try the linux dual boot thing sooner or later. I've been putting it off because I've not used linux since the 90s and I really don't have time to re-learn. Gotta be done tho.

Edit - your semicolon inspired me to try one of my own!

TBH it might continue like this until the rest of the world legalises cocaine and it can be produced by businesses instead. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

TBF I know only one militant vegan and she's been outspoken about it for years. I eat meat, I either just tell her to fuck off or ask if all her cocaine is ethically sourced. She's used to it.

But yeah, all the other vegans I've known are really chill.

Yeah, that's just odd. 'A' isn't something you'd find before a surname as part of the name, unlike 'd' or 'o' etc.

I've tried plenty of violent ones, didn't work either. There needs to be an undercurrent of support for change.all through society.

historically humans aren't usually burning down libraries on purpose.

Sometimes they are, Baghdad springs to mind, I'm sure there are other examples. And this library is online so there's less chance of getting caught with a can of petrol and a box of matches.

Then there's every authoritarian regime that tries to ban or burn specific types of books. What we're seeing here could be more like that - an attempt to muddy the waters or introduce misinformation on certain topics.

Yeah that's happened to me too.
