I don't get this community.

Still a far cry from 1 death per million dollars. Even what is considered the deadliest skyscraper construction in history (Burj Khalifa) is short.

There's no way that stat was ever true.

Perhaps someone who is trying to form a connection after spending their youth not completely understanding social conventions....

It just feels kind of mean to dunk on him this hard for something so minor. He's not reading Jordan Peterson or anything. It's obviously someone trying to better themselves...they're just doing it in a way that makes us cringe.

Like it's fine to laugh at the situation but have some empathy, too. They weren't acting maliciously

Personally, I think you should delete it from here and share it to another community. It's definitely worth sharing but yeah, this community is for sharing YOUR art

There is absolutely no way that's correct. No one is expecting 500+ deaths on a construction site.

I thought that maybe that documentary was referring to a specific time period so I looked into it...

Empire State Building, 1929: 5 deaths and the building cost 41 million dollars.

Sears Tower, 1973: 5 deaths, 175 million

World Trade Center (full complex), 1973: 60 deaths, 1.5 billion

The only skyscraper I found that is close to that figure is the Burj Khalifa (2010, 1.5 billion) which "unofficially" had hundreds of deaths. And even then.... it'd need to be 1500 deaths to match that statistic.

... You didn't have a problem with it when it was a memecoin? Doge jumped the shark YEARS before that even happened

I legitimately feel bad for Christians who are stuck watching their religion get used to abuse.

Jesus was a socialist. It's insane to see him used to push fascism/capitalism

I lived down the block from a neighborhood pub for 13+ years. When I moved in, I had a party and a friend came in from out of town. He convinced me to go to the pub because "there's ALWAYS a fight at neighborhood pubs."

So we went. And indeed, two old guys started fighting and they kicked everyone out.

A decade later, I was lamenting the closure of my favorite pizza place to a coworker during lockdown. She said she knew a GREAT place...her favorite pizza in the city.....that neighborhood pub.

I tried it and she was right. I never ordered pizza from anywhere else again.

Hell, I'd watch it

Huh, well thanks for the correction! I've seen things like "tenkeyless 90%" on a description and assumed they referred to different things.

Come to think of it....tenkeyless means no numpad...but there's 11-17 keys on a numpad...not 10...

It speaks to his style that the face in this image looks nothing like Guy Fieri but it's still obvious who it's supposed to be.

Not a dig. I don't like the aesthetic but he pulls it off. I have a massive amount of respect for him

 

The MediaBiasFactChecker bot leaves comments that I like to see so I don't want to block it....but it's designed for how the browser version of Lemmy handles spoilers. It says "(click to view the whole report)" which expands the multiline comment.

On Connect, the entire spoiler section shows up (but blacked out, of course).

Honestly I prefer the way Connect handles it now but I don't expect the bot maker to change their formatting to cater to just one app so an option for it would be awesome

 

There used to be rounded rectangles around each post, now there's nothing separating it from the following post. I tried changing the colors and it's still gone.

Full Width had a bar between them so I'll use that for now...but I kind of miss the Card view showing cards

 

I don't browse reddit anymore but when searching for solutions to various problems, many times I end up on a reddit thread with the answers. I haven't posted or commented since the exodus but I almost always have a red notification icon. And every time curiosity gets the better of me and I click it, it's a reply to a comment I left years ago.

I usually mark it as read and ignore it but last night curiosity got the better of me and I looked at the user's profile....lots of comments, all on ancient posts.

If they're bots, I'm actually kind of impressed. They'd be good and relevant comments if they were posted when the thread was active. I searched for some of the unique replies and the only result was the comment in question so it's not just copying replies. I just checked again while posting this and have a new reply - a question about a game tip I posted.

So is it someone farming 1 comment at a time or a sophisticated LLM? I'm leaning the latter but like I said.... it's an impressive one. If I didn't know that reddit was full of bots, I wouldn't have even questioned it.

Anyone else have the same "issue"?

 

A low budget film from Joel Haver.

I kind of ignored his feature length uploads after not liking one I saw before but I was surprised by how much I liked this. The premise is very unique and the characters are well-written. Worth a watch!

 

Hello everyone,

We are nearing the end of my first TTRPG campaign and in a few weeks, the DM is starting a homebrew. I joined this one half way through and a friend slapped together most of my level 7 character for me, a basic fighter. For this new campaign I'm hoping to have "more to do" in and out of battle so I'm looking for class advice.

I want to play a support class but I've been feeling overwhelmed by the class options. All I know is that I want it to be beginner-friendly support that can heal but also do more - like damage, buffs, or debuffs. Doesn't have to be all 3!

The group gave me a few suggestions but there was so much back and forth about how complicated they are, I thought I'd pose the question here.

Can someone help point me in the right direction on a simple support? Any help would be appreciated!

My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

 

I'm not sure if this counts as a "patient gamer" because I played them to death years ago...but I've been playing both again recently and they're just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They're not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they're old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I'm sure there's tons of great strategy games I've missed over the years

Both artists are considered "art-pop"

Kind of a weak connection but man...I've loved the posts but someone had to get us away from space-related songs!

 

I was messing around on Bing trying to generate animals camouflaging into various environments but never spit out what I had in mind. It did, however, expose me to furry porn despite my prompt not requesting it.

Some other examples (not including the aforementioned one because I don't want to get banned lol):

Connection: it's a song about Satan

The link has 2 songs but I couldn't find this song on its own. "I'm So Tired Of You" is the first thing they play
