God said ‘Love thy neighbor’, Karen. If you’re not bi, you’re only loving half your neighbors at best, Karen. Get with the program, Karen.

Really glad that you like it!

More the combination of the album and the song titles, but At the Soundless Dawn by The Red Sparowes is an instrumental album whose song titles tell the story of how humanity is destroying our planet.

1. “Alone and Unaware, the Landscape was Transformed in Front of Our Eyes”
2. “Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, And the Air Filled with a Reddish Glow”
3. “The Soundless Dawn Came Alive as Cities Began to Mark the Horizon”
4. “Mechanical Sounds Cascaded Through the City Walls and Everyone Reveled in Their Ignorance”
5. “A Brief Moment of Clarity Broke Through the Deafening Hum, but It Was Too Late”
6. “Our Happiest Days Slowly Began to Turn into Dust”
7. “The Sixth Extinction Crept Up Slowly, Like Sunlight Through the Shutters, as We Looked Back in Regret”

The same band also has Every Red Heart Shines Towards the Red Sun, which tells the story of The Great Leap Forward, again through its song titles:

1. “The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm, Suddenly and Furiously Blinding Our Senses.”
2. “We Stood Transfixed in Blank Devotion as Our Leader Spoke to Us, Looking Down on Our Mute Faces with a Great, Raging, and Unseeing Eye.”
3. “Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe.”
4. “A Message of Avarice Rained Down and Carried Us Away into False Dreams of Endless Riches.”
5. “‘Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In.’”
6. “And by Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent in Their Puddles, the Air Barren of Song as the Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, the Locusts Noisily Thanked Us and Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing Our Greed Whole.”
7. “Millions Starved and We Became Skinnier and Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter and Fatter.”
8. “Finally, as That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was the Voice of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves.”

It helps that the music is also great, if you like instrumental stuff.

It’s especially noteworthy in that it’s in Standard at the same time as Bloomburrow, a set about a plane where everyone is anthropomorphic animals and, as such, has an animal creature type.

Even considering that, though, it’s fairly “meh” from a power level standpoint, because the game has just become completely absurd.

Clearly you are unaware that this is a real M:tG card.

The Protomen are my favorite band and it’s not even close.

It’s really a great example of the problem: Your ability to conduct commerce has been heavily limited at the whims of a few corporations. That really shouldn’t be able to happen.

Hey, none of that. Around here, all content is valuable, low-effort and shitty or not. As long as it was posted by a human; fuck AI.

Assuming we’re talking about instances we’d recommend to new Fediverse users, I’d recommend against lemmy.world. Not because there’s anything wrong with the instance, but simply because it’s the largest, by a fairly large margin. A central principal of the fediverse is decentralization, and to that end, it’s healthier to spread the users across many instances than to have folks concentrated too heavily on any one.

I rarely feel as stupid as when reading anything about quantum computing. The whole field could just be a giant in-joke where none of it exists and they’re all just spouting nonsense technical jargon to confound the plebs, and I’d be oblivious.

Boy, those racists sure were right. Clearly nobody wants to see Bad Bunny at the half-time show.

[To preempt the obvious objection, I’m talking about e.g. a private residence, not a business.]

No, clearly not, as I already addressed. Fuck off.

Is this about the wedge cut out of the top, or was there something before that that I should feel upset about?

makes a big deal of telling new hires that they can be let go for any reason with no notice because if this

Purely out of curiosity, does he still expect people to give 2 weeks notice (or any notice) when they quit?

I would argue that in private spaces, absolutely. The owner of a private space has the exclusive right to admit anyone they choose and bar anyone they choose, based on any criteria they wish. [To preempt the obvious objection, I’m talking about e.g. a private residence, not a business.]

I’d argue this is doubly true for support group style groups. If there’s a support group for a topic that is exclusively experienced by one sex, I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable to make that group exclusively for that sex. (Examples might be testicular or ovarian cancer sufferers.)

The word ‘terrorist’ has lost all meaning at this point.

I would even go a step further and say that cops’ testimony should not even be accepted if they don’t have bodycam footage to back it up. When you have a camera that’s able to verify anything you need it to, the absence of that verification should be viewed through the lens that you specifically did not want whatever was happening during that time to be recorded.

I disagree; “fake it til you make it” prescribes specific behavior (faking it) for a specific period of time (until you make it) but does not specify what behavior should take place (faking it or not) after that period has been exceeded.

If AI agents stick around, I feel like they’re going to be the thing millennials as a generation refuse to adopt and are made fun of for in 20-30 years. Younger generations will be automating their lives and millennials will be the holdouts, writing our emails manually and doing our own banking, while our grandkids are like, “Grandpa, you know AI can do all of that for you, why are you still living in the 2000s?” And we’ll tell stories about how, in our day, AI used to ruin peoples’ lives on a whim.

Not even Epstein wanted to associate with Dick Cheney.
