I’ve never seen “dufus” spelled that way before, it’s immediately enticing.- like you hybridized the word with “Rufus”.

quindraco@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Hospital staff get baked potato as a 'Christmas bonus' from work (and got taxed on it)English32·2 years agoWe could always embrace capitalism by getting rid of corporations, like as a concept. They’re a fundamentally anti-capitalist idea.
quindraco@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•NBC News demands Trump campaign take down fake clip of reporter | Semafor53·2 years agoThat’s not true. You don’t have to ask someone to stop committing defamation before suing them for defamation.
quindraco@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Trump: A General Who Has Seen Soldiers Die Said My "Pussy" Tape Response Was Bravest Thing He'd Seen - Joe.My.God.52·2 years agoDoes it count as a tell when it’s irrelevant? Everything Trump says is a lie. You can tell he’s lying because his lips are moving. The addition of the word “Sir” doesn’t change anything.
quindraco@lemmy.worldto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC223·2 years agoIt’s fine, provided it’s not a plot hole - i.e. your fantasy setting needs to not have abolished blindness as a realistic malady, which some settings do. E.g. LOTR 100% has blind people, while the Harry Potter universe only has very poor blind people, since solving blindness is as trivial as a polyjuice potion, even if nothing else works (and something more effective is bound to work).

What’s not legal is racial gerrymandering. If all a court does is find a map to be gerrymandered, it won’t send it to anyone to be redrawn.

quindraco@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•The Supreme Court Takes On Yet Another Made-Up Controversy12·2 years agoYou’re agreeing with the rich people in this case when you say that. They got none of those things in this case. They’re being taxed on money they could theoretically get.

quindraco@lemmy.worldtopolitics @lemmy.world•Republican lawmakers walk out of Ukraine aid talks after Zelenskiy cancels718·2 years agoLemmings in several subs, this one included, seem to reliably comment on content they haven’t actually read. It’s bizarre.
quindraco@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later.English22·2 years agoIt is making mistakes, not lying. To lie it must believe it is telling falsehoods, and it is not capable of belief.
quindraco@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•American comedian under investigation for violent remarks about Geert WildersEnglish34·2 years agoThe Netherlands don’t have freedom of speech, though, so that’s immaterial. The closest thing they have is Article 7, Subarticle 3 in general, which only means they can’t legally be compelled to seek prior approval for speech.

quindraco@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•‘Everything indicates’ Chinese ship damaged Baltic pipeline on purpose, Finland saysEnglish5·2 years agoOr… well, on the ship itself it’s spelled New New, which is a lot saner and funnier than Newnew.
If they even did it. This is over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, not the spreadsheet itself, making it even easier to fake if someone was out to get them in trouble. I could make a pic of a spreadsheet claiming to be by BrikoX and doublejay1999 with maybe a minute of work in MS Paint.
