You’re getting pushback here because you’re conflating two entirely different scenarios—capital punishment and assisted suicide—without clarifying that you understand the difference. I can understand what your intent might be but you’re using the same arguments that proponents of capital punishment are using to claim this is a good way to execute people.

It comes off as “no, these people aren’t suffering” instead of “it really sucks that these people are suffering, the arguments for it being humane don’t apply to this scenario and we should stop doing it” (which is what I want to believe you mean).

Multiple reports from observers of this execution method: it’s horrible, they thrash around on the gurney and seem to suffer greatly

This guy: nuh uh.

The wall is almost certainly already some variation of Swiss coffee, which is like a drop of black and two drops of umber per gallon… juuuuust enough to give it a little color.

When I used to help people pick colors the primary advice I gave them was that once it’s on the wall you will never see the difference between the four shades of [color] you’re looking at because at scale your brain blends it in with the lighting and ambient color of the rest of the room.

Sheen makes more of a difference, and the answer is always satin/eggshell for living spaces and gloss for kitchens and bathrooms (because it’s more moisture resistant and washable). Flat can go fuck itself, it only exists as a cheap option for track homes who don’t care about your paint looking good for more than six months.

Source: worked at a paint store for several years, did a loooot of color matching by eye.

This is a weird way to say “Trump backs out of debating Harris on ABC”.

Let’s not blame victims of sexism. Sexism is bad, mmm’kay.

Before you get really upset about this thread, you should read this other one: https://federate.social/@jik/112779924411100427

I’m not thrilled about this by any means, but what Firefox is doing is not what chrome is doing (which is what the op posted thread is claiming). Conflating them serves no one.

I dislike the narrative that you can’t be happy as an adult. Yeah having nothing to do and no responsibilities was cool, but I would not trade what I have now to have it back.

Adult me has an awesome wife and kids, good friends, hobbies that I wouldn’t have dreamed of as a kid, a tool bench full of fun power tools, and freedom to use my free time basically however I want.

I am way happier as an adult than I was as a teenager.

Tribespeople became so addicted that Marubo leaders, fearing that history and culture — which is passed down orally — could be lost forever, they have now limited access to the internet for two hours each morning, five hours each evening, and all day Sunday.

That is still so much internet, we would probably all be healthier following that guideline.

“Your privately owned vehicle is actually just a timeshare taxi” getting stock prices to go up is proof that our system is irremediably fucked.

That’s a very nice thought that I can safely file away as “does not apply to me”.

This layout makes sense if you have used an old school mp3 player or similar.

Volume is left and right because it’s an analog of the volume bar on the screen.

Up and down is previous and next because play was controlled by a list UI so you were moving a cursor up and down between songs.

It’s not how I personally would prefer it, but it’s not as outlandish as it seems.

The worst part is that this isn’t new behavior. Musk pulled this same shit at the Tesla factories; forbidding safety yellow from being used, having the warning alarms disabled on forklifts because it annoyed him, etc.

I am glad the veil has been lifted for more people though so they can see Musk for who he always has been.

Do we have an established practice for requesting defederation?

I would very much like to request that we defederate from burggit.moe (because I would prefer to keep my lemmy experience free of loli porn) and I went looking for the best way to do this, but the best I could come up with was posting to meta and that seems like the wrong place.

I feel like I missed something obvious ¯_(ツ)_/¯
