@AlexSanterne @academicchatter I don’t think scientists have changed because people haven’t changed, and man is the history of science littered with petty shit

@RickiTarr I hate it when my ibuprofen dealer wants to come in and share a hit. Half the time it’s cut with acetaminophen too

Why hasn’t the healthcare industry modernized its workflows? This seems a good argument for nationalizing these industries to modernize and rationalize these systems - I’m guessing the savings would be massive https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern/112520572271199351

I’m no fan of libertarians anyway. Trump’s hardly one as he’s an obvious fascist. But both Trump and libertarians have no interest in helping anyone but themselves.

Relentless booing aside, my favorite part was when he told crowd -- with zero self awareness -- that they can't let "the worst President in history come back and finish the job" of destroying the country.

The stupidity of those who voted for Brexit is only surpassed by those who think that we can just walk back in whenever we want. Such infantile delusions are for..... infants.

@kennethb @FrankFrank Let me introduce you to Americans who will vote for Trump.

@dogzilla@masto.deluma.biz avatar

The only people who can save us - or condemn us to Emperor Trump - are us. No one else is coming over the hill.

Americans have been assuming that one of our institutions - the courts, the media, GOP “leaders” - would save us from a second Trump term, but those institutions have been corrupted or co-opted.

The we thought the media would save us, but it won’t. The “media” isn’t people - it’s corporations, and they have a vested interest in Trump winning because he sells papers.

So, does Discord no longer allowed users to register accounts without registering a phone number?

They have "detected an anomaly" with a new account I just attempted to make and have assured me that I can quickly clear things up if I just give them a phone number.

@dogzilla@masto.deluma.biz avatar

@mentallyalex @Adam_Cadmon1 I know a bunch of orgs and businesses use it, but I honestly don’t get what problem Discord was meant to solve. It just feels like someone bundled the worst options together and wrapped The World’s Shittiest UI In The World around them

dogzilla,

@mentallyalex @Adam_Cadmon1 But weren’t those already long-solved problems when Discord was released? Especially if you’re an established organization looking for a tech-support channel?

@MonaApp

As of a day or two ago, I’m suddenly seeing issues with retrieving my notifications. There’s notifications on my web account that aren’t showing in Mona (iOS). Oddly, the little bell showing pending notifications is marked, but when I click on it and refresh, it still only shows old notifications.

Anyone else see something similar?

During a break in his criminal trial, Trump posted a campaign video that uses messaging from Nazi Germany.

The only way we can stop this wannabe dictator from returning to power is organizing to defeat him: https://act.indivisible.org/survey/majority_over_maga_signup?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

@indivisibleteam What difference does it make if it was him or not? I mean, I never thought he personally did it in the first place.

I am 100% certain he approved of it, and I haven’t heard that he’s disavowed the ad, pulled it down, or fired anyone for releasing it

Which do you select?
Raeisi’s death was
a) caused/engineered by Israel
b) caused by the US or possibly a 3rd party (Azerbaijan?) to benefit ISR
c) an inside (Iranian anti IRI or w/i the regime) job
d) merely an accident

@Sherifazuhur @dibi58 I’d say CDBA in order of likelihood

In 2022 SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that public school teachers & other staff can lead students in prayer.

Now Louisiana will require all schools that receive public funding to display the Ten Commandments, including colleges and universities.

If it’s prayer these guys want, if you’re a public school teacher who wants to learn the Islamic call to prayer, i.e. the Adhaan, to teach your students, let me know.🙃

@QasimRashid @ai6yr I’m an atheist, so I also demand a poster put up that simply says “There is no god”.

They’re probably gonna hear from the Satanists, too. And the FSM people.
