Ha, I was tempted to make basically the same comment. I'm super weary of people mixing the two up!

Don't regret too much. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit's "delete" function was really just "move to the "suckers-wanted-to-delete-this" file.

Ah, canon, or the word we use to describe which made-up story is more real than the other made-up stories!

I feel some guilt for using content blockers

Please don't. The advertisers "defected" decades ago with popup windows (and probably before that, but popups in the late 90s/early 2000s stand out in my mind). It's only gotten worse since then.

That chart is evil. First two ticks represent 5 years. Ticks 2-3 represent 2 years. The last two ticks represent 2 1/2-3 years!

Also, what's so magical about 2014 that it deserves to be the baseline? I'd love to see this extended back to, oh, 2006 or so. Sometime before the Great Recession.

Finally, what about shrinkflation? I used to order from Panera on a regular basis, but during the pandemic, it seemed like their sandwiches shrank a little bit more between every order. At this point, I don't think it's even worth ordering from them.

Primitive Technology

Low volume (not even 1 video a month), high quality, highly entertaining.

Beware of the copycats, though.

I enjoyed the story arc leading up to Endgame, but since then, they've filmed so much that I just feel like I can't keep up. The last movie I watched was Multiverse of Madness where I spent about half the movie going "Huh, I feel like I'm missing stuff from the Wanda TV show". I had never seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, either. And I guess there was a Loki show and a Marvel "What If" series, too?

Being a Marvel fan shouldn't have to be a job!

The headline is really misleading. She now works for Costco corporate doing marketing training. The typical store employee is still around $18/hour.

This just in: Corporate jobs pay more than public school teaching jobs. Film at eleven!

Why not? Probably because:

Bike pollution: .

Car pollution: oooooooooo

Plane pollution: OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO

(bike pollution is slightly more than nil just because of the CO2 we breathe out while riding)

As an example, if I go to the starting guide and click on the top comment, I get the following response:

"This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://lemmy.world/comment/97159 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE"

Dev tools shows response code: 400 (from service worker) for this request.

I don't see this behavior on every single comment link, but it shows up for a lot of them, seemingly randomly.

I see it across different browsers and normal vs. incognito mode.

Any clues on what's broken?

FFS means "Facial feminization surgery" in this context, correct? I automatically read it as "For f#$%'s sake" and paused, thinking "No, that can't be right."

pointless virtue signaling

What do we want? An end to blatant racist murders by police!

What do we get? Rename our git branches!

they’re just trying to enjoy life

Maybe. A neighborhood bully went after me with a makeshift whip around that age. I lost my boot in the snow trying to run away fast enough. Most people are fine as you say. Some...are just broken.

You don’t dump five-year-olds on the side of the road

Strongly agree here. I don't care what they were doing; they're still kids in need of adult supervision.
