please dear God I’ve never asked you for anything before and I’ll never ask for anything again but

Yeah, guess I’m just worried about missing out on cool new communities popping up. Almost every post in all is from a different community.

I had a list of 90 active cat picture subreddits. Wish we had even a fraction of that here.

In my experience, it’s not new. I noticed things were far more hostile than my reddit experience from the moment i got on Lemmy. Maybe it’s because I unsubscribed from all the toxic places on Reddit (i promise they exist) but I browse /all here since it’s too quiet otherwise.

This is really sad.

I want to believe your former friends could be de-eadicalized, but man, i would not envy anybody actively trying to do so.

Also: Rustdesk, Anydesk, TeamViewer, and Spice

Ah, I was more referring to how the documentary was very critical of marketing to children, and how people campaigned against that in the years surrounding that.

I didn’t know about his alcoholism, thanks for bringing that to my attention. That said, eating waaay too much fast food and not exercising was pretty much the whole point - he wanted to show how bad that lifestyle was. IMO the only problem there is that he failed to disclose that he was also heavily drinking.

Exactly. Nobody in this thread remembers Super Size Me?

Safety regulations are written in blood. Electrical fires were indeed a problem. It’s why there are rules on how many outlets need to be in a room, how spaced out they need to be (to curtail extension cord usage even when the builders are trying to be cheap and stingy with outlets). It’s the reason why we have breakers and GCFIs and RCBs and AFCIs. It’s the reason why we have electrical certification bodies like UL which won’t certify your cable or appliance if the cords are too thin.

There’s a lot of smart stuff we do behind the scenes to make dumb cords safe because even smart people make dumb mistakes.
