About a hundred years ago you could buy a "radio flyer". It's a red wagon. People don't change.

9/11 was sort of an inside job by the architects. Built during the height of the cold war, every mega construction project would have had to address what would happen if attacked. There had been a number of massive skyscraper fires already and even much smaller buildings had no way to effectively douse the flames. Imagine a massive raging inferno towering above a dense population centre for weeks or months or who knows how long. It would have been an even worse outcome. The health and mental health effects would have been incredibly devastating. A decision had to be made. A structural, engineered weakness to very hot flames was built in to make the towers implode on themselves, snuffing out the flames.

It would have been a tough call to make. Like the trolly problem, do you engineer it to save the occupants? Or the potential health of the rest of the city?

It makes sense to me to keep quiet about it after the fact. The architects did what they had to do and some people would not agree with their decision. Therefore due to 'national security' or whatever it's best to just keep quiet. I've held on to this theory for a while but I think it's been long enough to discuss it.

To clarify further for those too lazy to read. An informant is a rat, not an employee.

Imagine how difficult it would be to hire a ferengi lawyer to sue your ferengi accountant. shudders

What you encountered was a sociopath projecting how they feel about every action they take onto you. Somehow you are the asshole for not complying with their selfishness.

I've been using the app on breaks at work at nearly half the rate I had been using RIF. Here we see that it still used about 2x the data in roughly the same time period.

The app's great. The bugs are getting hammered out and Lemmy's great too. Can you look into doing some optimising soon?

Edit: To be more specific. RIF used just over 1gig over 10 days of browsing during breaks. Most months hit about 2-2.5 gigs. While connect used 2gigs in 6 days.

Talk about a bate and switch headline.

The hearing, originally scheduled for Friday, July 14, will now occur on Tuesday, July 18.

Not about the other delay they asked for.

If it's a meme or shitpost there isn't anything to talk about

Am I ugly and rate me are old subs that die off and bounce back once in a while when people realize they exist. That seemed pretty normal to me, trends like that come and go quickly.

That couples meme shit was an odd one. What kind of people are sitting around making loads of memes about boomerhumour couples? Who does that? Memes are almost always niche or inside jokes, not this. This is a marketing company going "we need a subreddit that focuses on happy millennial couples so we can slyly push products there" and coming up with something so....bland.

I can see that there's a top 10 communities for your local instance but finding more is impossible.
