Don't feed the trolls.

They don't care about the topic, they don't care about the facts or a logical debate. They only care about getting a reaction out of you. Don't give them what they want.

Today was my first day back from vacation. So many emails... I just kept scrolling through all the unread and felt defeated. I allowed myself extra distractions today while trying to at least prioritize things, but it ended up being a surprisingly productive day somehow. On to tomorrow.

You know, I feel like lately every other article in that paper is an advertisement for Quarks

Meh, what does that idiot know anyways, this is delicious!

Thank you! I noticed the usual feelings of dread creeping in already

No need for the \s. That is literally how they did this "study". I'd be interested to see who it was that paid for this bullshit, wouldn't be surprised to see the money trail leading back to commercial real estate.

The article boasts the headline front and center % productivity loss, as though this was some years long extensive study. The section of the report discussing these results is less than two paragraphs long. I've seen high school students put together a more detailed a well researched study.

What bothers me the most is that people will readily reference this article and spread this bullshit everywhere, with basically no one having read the study or put any critical thinking into this at all.

But he looks ever so polite, he must have his cheese!

I don't know if it's increased since covid but people seem to have shifted from anti cycle to outright openly hostile towards cyclists, at least where I live. I can't count the number of incidents I've had this year alone where I've had to swerve to avoid someone angrily forcing their way into a bicycle lane, running lights or going out of turn in a four way stop, or just intentionally grazing me because fuck bicycles apparently

For Twitch I would say Erin Plays & Mike Matei, oh and also Rat707

Petro-Canada Confirms Hackers Stole Customer Info (www.iphoneincanada.ca)

In an email update sent on July 6, 2023, Petro-Canada confirmed a cybersecurity incident that impacted its Petro-Points program. The company had initially reported the incident on June 26, revealing that an unauthorized party had accessed its IT network around June 21. The breach is believed to have compromised Petro-Points...

Yeah, they sent me an email basically saying "we're sorry" with no offer for free credit monitoring or anything.

A few have mentioned Hereditary already so I'll give an honorable mention to Dark Skies with Keri Russel.

Thanks so much for sharing that web comic, I loved it!

So now they've confirmed existing basic plan members are also being targeted "in the near future". No problem, I've saved them the trouble for myself. I had mostly stopped using it by now anyway, not even worth the $10/month I was wasting on it

I'm imagining their lawyer pulling out their wallet at the hearing and thumbing through their singles to pay the fine.

$5k is absolutely nothing for a typical law firm, lunch money

I was using this arrow more when I was driving different vehicles for work. We have two vehicles and each has the tank on the opposite side, so I had just trained myself to use the arrow now. Just something I had gotten used to doing I guess

For years I had recurring dreams where I was lost wandering an endlessly large building - usually office buildings with hundreds of hallways and stairwells that led to more endless hallways. Haven't had them as often the last few years but they always left me feeling down the next day.

OC How did you end up finding kbin? Did you migrate here from Reddit?

I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality...

found this from a Mastadon post, but I am also looking for a Reddit alternative. I have loved Mastadon since moving over and am excited to see what Kbin has for potential. I'm still learning how the whole fediverse works (seeing Mastadon posts on Kbin etc) but getting there

Yea I think it's been this way for quite a while now, it's just that most women probably don't overtly advertise it for obvious reasons. I would consider myself a very casual gamer, but there are games like Tears of the Kingdom that I spend a lot of time in. So I do use my Switch often, same with the 3DS before that.

I had the same experience, and I've had Baconreader premium for many years. I had developed a habit of constantly reloading it in an endless search for new content. I'm interested in trying new things though, both this and Mastadon.
