That can only be done after the fact, and people can just create new ones constantly can they not? There needs to be a different pro-active defense to watch for the signs of manipulation and counter them as they happen.

Can confirm humidity doesn't help. Salt water drying on your skin can also make it worse, just a fun fact, so rinse off as often as you can when leaving the water to help prevent it.

Also these people are insane. I'll take a dry heat over humidity I can't hardly breathe through any day. Sweat exists for a reason, humidity won't let you benefit from it.

Reddit wasn't welcoming to opinions outside the hivemind either, you just didn't notice because you were inside it.

You're basically telling everyone to be nice and pretend these same kinds of people who killed reddit for us won't kill the fediverse when we have every reason to believe they will, and you don't want us to talk about it or do anything about it?

I don't really get why you're here in the first place. If you liked reddit and don't hate modern social media why not just stay there? People came here to avoid what meta could do to the fediverse and avoid what reddit became. Why are you acting surprised that people are acting that way?

Why not both? Objectifying people can be sexist, and your comment was clearly sexist. They're not mutually exclusive.

Not sure it's a great idea when a competing app is called Liftoff and uses a rocket already though. I like the icon in general but it might lead to confusion when it fits a competing app more accurately.

As bad as this may seem, and not to try to downplay it, this seems like a good time to remind people that this kind of vulnerability isn't limited to cars charging at public spaces. Any time you connect devices to anything in a space you don't control, you're vulnerable. That goes for public wifis (many of which are just businesses farming your data + hacker risks), and public charging stations that could have compromised chargers with malware.

This is just blatant sexism.

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding this or maybe you don't know what the references are, but the OP is not just referring to "butt stuff".

Kinda feels like you're angrily agreeing with me while using different words while acting like you're arguing against me.

This isn't reddit, not every comment section has to be A vs B arguments.

I think they know she can't win right now. No real progressive can yet. They need to build up her record more and let more of the old neo-libs die off first.

How pathetic must your life be that you value your life's worth based on which online posts you respond to and when? Go outside.

What in tarnation is this black magic? I don't know how I've never heard of these before.
