If someone randomly messaged me claiming to be a millionaire wanting to give me 2k I'd report the message as a scam

low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad?? in c/nostupidquestions

It's strange that you're posting a 2nd time about IQ, especially after getting so much feedback the 1st time and responding to almost none of it. This feels like trolling

Jerome of Sandy Cove - A castaway with both legs recently amputated, and who never spoke for the rest of his life in c/creepywikipedia
[–] Nurse_Robot 7 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I see this as the most likely explanation

It is possible that Jerome's difficulties with producing speech could be linked to a brain injury, most likely in Broca's area, the part of the brain that regulates speech. Jerome would have been incapable of speaking in any sort of understandable language.[1] This may account for Jerome's ability to make animalistic noises, but not replicate human language.

Did people experience doom scrolling with newspapers and magazines? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] Nurse_Robot 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Nope. Paper material ends fairly quickly, and changing pages provides a measurable progression. Doom scrolling goes essentially forever, with no sense of progression

I don't care to support any only fans content. At the same time, I love the art the comic creator creates. I relate to your feeling of being torn

Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars (denvergazette.com)
 

I hate this news story. If I wasn't living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it's a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It's a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm (self.mildlyinfuriating)
 

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

YouTube: 5 ads the norm now? (self.mildlyinfuriating)

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.

I don't have many people to celebrate with. Part of getting older is celebrating alone, which is sobering and a change of perception. If you're reading this, I hope you're safe. I hope you're with family that loves you, I got you have a friend.

The world seems dark, but it truly is safer than ever. Don't give into the media my friend. We're truly in a golden age of information sharing, which makes life terrifying but lucid and evolving.

Has anyone else noticed that the Google Play store reviews are suspicious?

Like, you find a scam company or app, and every review you scroll through is 1 star. And yet the reviews claim 95%+ are positive.

Is there a way to prove it? I've noticed it for 3 years now, I no longer think it's a coincidence. Something scummy or scammy is going on

Is there no way to report ads? (self.syncforlemmy)
 

Lately I've seen some... Questionable ads, to say the least. Is there no way to report these ads on sync?

If there is, am I just dumb and blind? Or is it easier than it seems?

It feels like early Reddit all over again to me, hopefully I'm wrong

For context, Android user, been here a few months, and I opt out of everything that's easy/simple/apparent to opt out of
