Only one of those is physically addictive, and the withdrawal can kill ya.

It’s gotten a lot better with teeth. Last I looked at that site they were very misaligned. It was very Uncanny Valley.

Edit: ok, this one’s a bit whack: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b48446c9-bffc-4d53-a180-dec274f1a64d.jpeg

Image: Close up of a man’s mouth. The teeth look 2D, and continue endlessly in a straight row behind his lips; there is too little curvature to indicate they are connected to a jawbone.

I’m a woman and I don’t have any social media. I just don’t see the value in it when the cost is tracking and ads.

Honestly, it’s not great to assume that someone is “arrogant and judgmental” because they don’t fit in your boxes :|

The brain doesn’t just sleep for the sake of the body, but the brain too.

Dreams are useful for problem solving issues in our personal lives, emotional regulation, and memory. You start messing with natural dreams and you will end up with a population stricken with mental health issues.

Futurama Season 1: Episode 6. Fry gets ads in dreams.

“But of course, in Bedford Falls, it was always Christmas Eve.”

(If there are any Red Dwarf fans)

Edit: Its probably rude for me not to leave a summary: Red Dwarf was a phenomenal BBC sci-fi comedy in the 80s. I’m referencing the book Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers wherein a game, Better than Life, leaves people festering and wasting away in reality as they’re hooked up to a headset living a virtual utopia.

Footage shows Boebert and her date fiddling with each other's privates at "Beetlejuice" musical (www.salon.com)

As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert’s wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of “Beetlejuice” the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around...

Ugh, really? I hate the reboot/sequel cashgrabs of Sacred Eighties Shows 🥺 I’m scared to look up who will befoul the legacy of Keaton, Ryder, and Davis.

A non-USian, even I was dismayed when the results said Boebert won by 546 votes. Hopefully that’s a motivator for next time.

Edit: It’s Keaton, Ryder, and O’Hara. Fuckin Burton playing to my nostalgia; still feels like impending disappointment.

Very cute. Got stuck on one part, but I’m pretty baked ;)

Thanks!

I’m in Canada, where the bless-ed weed has been legal, federally, for five years. Please do it, USians! We need research done on the myriad of benefits medicinal marijuana has to offer.

As a Canadian, I have also apologized for apologizing 😞

Heartbreaking news, she was so young. Sinead was such a huge, positive influence on teenage girls in the 90s. Her shaved head and activism was uncommon in mainstream music back then. Everyone I knew had The Lion and the Cobra. I know I still have that CD and a couple others.

And this news after Dolores’ death five years ago (Cranberries). She had also just moved back to London working on a new album. Two amazing women who should have had many more albums to come. rip

IMO, it’s always worth it because you dont know who is reading this: I imagine some young or teenage girls might see this-- imagine how they feel when they read the disparaging comments from the incels. Pretty dejected, I’d think. Then imagine how they feel when they read the model/engineer’s reply. It also shows boys what shite behaviour is.

It’s never a waste to shut the misogynists down-- it’s like investing in your future.

Probably be better to refrain from slurs. There are plenty of other, better insults to choose from :)

In Europe, the Dada (1916) and Surrealist (1920) movements began as a response to WWI. The atrocities committed during the war devastated humanity to the point where artists couldn’t (or wouldn’t) depict the human form, let alone realism.

Firefox is open source, non-profit, and you can run Ublock Origin on Android. That’s what made my decision for me.

If this is true, the end is nigh. What kind of content do they think this will encourage? Bots and low-quality rehashings will flood the place further.

Though I guess they’ll get some juicy income from requiring this information:

email addresses, personal details, and tax and bank account information.

Good riddance!

Damn OP, these are hilarious-- thanks :)

I am also trying DDG app tracker out. This is what I got after opening Simcity Buildit. Not really surprised, because Fuck EA, but some of the requests might be the linking of account. Still, 930-- damnnnnn.

excruciatingly long list with many corporations

When I was a kid, I thought the lyrics “there’s a bad moon on the rise” were, “there’s a bathroom on the right”… 😂

I found out today that Sync for Reddit developer, LJ, is making an app for Lemmy, so I made an account here. (I've been on Kbin since the strike started.)
