So you’re saying the only people claiming theres a genocide are Hamas?

Ahh okay, zionazi.

Wasn’t the one getting popular the other year ‘GRSM’, 'Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities".

Usually people say brain rot nowadays when referring to either themselves (in a self-deprecating way) or another, specifically to make light of or make reference to how detached from reality (or down a rabbit hole) their actions or words have been.

First example that comes to me is, when explaining a post-ironic meme with years of subtle context to someone who is another demographic or not part of that audience, and they clearly cannot comprehend it due to lack of shared understanding. In that case, presuming the stakes are low, I would be likely to say ‘ahh that’s just brain rot, don’t worry’ to relieve the other party and indicate that I know they won’t understand.

When using it against others you are showing in few words that something is inappropriate or only important to people with brain rot.

As to some general examples;

• people who think that realistic looking people in video games are ‘woke’. These people are brain rotted by failing to ‘touch grass’ for far too long. What they advocate for is seen as obviously out of touch with reality to those who do touch grass.

• people who think they only need to participate in voting every four years, and that is the pinnacle of political action, usually have liberal brain rot (which they have absorbed through popular culture even before the internet) that pacifies them to this lesser participation

I can think of many more, but generally it’s supposed to imply that notions left to fester unchecked, or often those reinforced by an echo chamber, will present as ‘brain rot’ - a fundamental disconnection from reality in certain areas, that is the obvious result of ‘unchecked rot’ in terms of information diet rather than underlying conditions.

Over 11 million people, huggy wuggy nooo!

Not an attack on you it just bothers me to see this constantly misrepresented everywhere, 6 million is if you only count Jewish people, 11 million counts all victims of the camps including my great aunt and uncle.

Summit for Lemmy

I was using Sync since the ::: spoiler spoiler reddit ::: exodus and basically moved with it, but it’s not been updated for a while so I tried out a few others but was always turned off by their different gestures so I never switched.

However when I tried out Summit it had the right theming and gestures to be comfortable coming from Sync, along with an excellent unique screenshot tool that I’ve come to rely on.

I will try out phtn.app as an alternative on desktop since I don’t browse Lemmy much outside of the apps.

Actually fight against that rather than pretending too, Israel and Russia have destroyed the US from within far more than China… Maybe tackle the active objective threats rather than potential ones

Still exist in UK as of last year, short wooden pencils stacked in a plastic cube, free for as many as you can take before security gets angy

There are many MAGA grifters with similarly confusingly contradictory identity going back to the start and the reality is that they’re there because capital interest outweighs all else.

MAGA grifts seem incredibly lucrative, especially if you’re the sort of Milo Yionopolis, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro ass, member of a group they’re not too fond off. I’m pretty sure MAGA grifts are the most lucrative social grift currently, it’s free money and the discourse drives the engagement so its a self feeding loop for an influencer or content creator, its self perpetuating in other ways too so if you start its not easy to stop.

They also don’t care that they’re helping to do the things that they do because they believe the leopards won’t eat her face in the end because she was one of the good ones. Ofcourse bigots rarely make distinctions when riled up in to a frenzy, so they definitely could and likely will get facey eaten. But assuming she is actually getting paid, she will become ever more privileged in their new society than she would be in their new society without that money. But also, if she’s been privileged with wealth long enough she could align with wealth interests solely, and ignore (bewilderingly) all the other policys of MAGA.

I think goes from obsession to possesion maybe, ur kinda tied to a phone for a lot of services these days and 5 years is at least more reasonable than every year or 2

Sounds cool, did you find any standout resources in the process about running nodes, and would you be willing to share if so? I last ran local when the chain was small enough to fit under a 32gb thumb drive lol

Also if you don’t mind answering I had some questions:

• What would the costs be involved generally with hosting a full node? Is it high in bandwidth costs?
• Would ‘mining’ be an option for the device running the node?
• How much can u expect to spend on an 16tb hdd to host the node?
• Finally, all in, how much did it cost you to set up your node?

Try discord servers for books, my best friend found his partner on one and a couple years later he moved countrys to live with her! Try reading groups or other such things and you’ll surely find people you have something in common with, and who knows where those relationships will lead you

Transcripts do exist on YouTube to be fair, in the video description you can choose to load the transcript which has timestamps and is automatically generated for all (?) YouTube videos. Though this doesn’t solve the issue as there will be times where you have to watch the footage, it certainly helps in skipping to the right time
