slippery slope

Nope. A Nazi is well defined.

Conceptual slippery slope arguments assume that because we cannot draw a distinction between adjacent stages, we cannot draw a distinction between any stages at all.

Example: "There is no essential difference between 199 and 200 grains of sand or 200 and 201 grains and so on. Thus, there is no difference between 1 grain of sand and 3 billion grains of sand.”

Slippery Slope Fallacy

A quote that always stuck with me was: “‘Your ad here’ signs are proof that the ad spot doesn’t work well, otherwise someone would have put their ad there.”

ImplyingImplications,

I like my olive oil to have a bit of experience

ImplyingImplications,

There’s a segregation joke here somewhere…

ImplyingImplications,

record scratch YOU’RE LISTENING TO car crash sound 102.3 elephant sound REAL ROCK FM explosion sound WHERE WE PLAY NOTHIN BUT ROCK ROCK AND MORE ROCK glass shattering sound police siren THIS AIN’T YOUR GRANNY’S STARTION Radioactive by Imagine Dragons starts playing

ImplyingImplications,

The fact that they’re not two skinny emo kids anymore really makes me feel old

ImplyingImplications,

I honestly think there are people who downvote anything they’re not interested in.

ImplyingImplications,

“My number one concern right now as an advertiser would be that Reddit seems to be losing rapport with and control over their users. Reddit needs to talk to their community members now and work to regain their trust and support or risk losing brand advertisers long term.”

We’ll see. The article also notes that no company has pulled their ads from Reddit yet and even says that compared to some other sites, Reddit isn’t doing so bad (I’m assuming they’re implying Twitter’s refusal to remove hate speech).

ImplyingImplications,

The original owner of 4chan left after leaked celebrity nudes were posted on the site. The owner faced gigantic lawsuits over it and ultimately decided owning the site was too much legal hassle.

So maybe posting nudes of Jennifer Lawrence to Reddit’s front page would do them in too?

ImplyingImplications,

The brothers from Supernatural are both gay and incestuous

banning and defederating communities

Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities...

ImplyingImplications,

I am hoping that the new users are coming here with the intent to learn how this community works, before we try to remake the community we just left.

Yeah go and take a stroll through those instances and you’ll see quickly why their posts aren’t welcomed here.

ImplyingImplications,

You’re allowed (and encouraged) to download the entirety of Wikipedia.

ImplyingImplications,

Streamers want that corporate money. They know what they’re getting into. They know their end game is signing a lucrative sponsorship contract once they get big enough.

ImplyingImplications,

I think every person should have food, water, and shelter at the very least. Nobody should need to do anything for these basic necessities of life.

I always thought this was a common thought but no, this apparently is a far left radical ideology. People should starve on the street unless they provide value to a capitalist is actually the common thought.

ImplyingImplications,

Imagine finding out your wife is cheating on you with a group of guys. I’d be crushed.

ImplyingImplications,

Modern pizza is nothing like ancient “pizza” which was basically flatbread seasoned with oil and herbs and only eaten by poor people.

ImplyingImplications,

they have him dead to rights.

The judge presiding over the case is Aileen Cannon, who has previously ruled in Trump’s favour on this case by putting an injunction on the investigation. Her ruling was baseless and the appeals court ripped her to shreds over it.

She could throw out the case or sentence Trump to probation (even if the “suggested” sentence is 15 years) or do all kinds of things that an appeals court could do little about. For an appeals court to overturn a ruling they have to find a procedural or legal error. A judge can do a lot of questionable stuff without making any legal errors.

ImplyingImplications,

I was once handed a document that said “Surname:” so I wrote my last name. Then the next line was “Last Name:”…so I wrote my last name, again.

The lady I handed it back to made fun of me for not knowing what “Surname” meant.

ImplyingImplications,

YES!

ImplyingImplications,

You got it backwards. Celebrity gossip doesn’t make people stupid. Stupid people make celebrity gossip.

ImplyingImplications,

Cartoon Network Exec: Woah, momma!

ImplyingImplications,

Trump wrote it himself

ImplyingImplications,

195 went left, politicalcompassmemes went right

ImplyingImplications,

The tldr bots are good because otherwise people will base their comment entirely on the headline. Every other bot can take off

ImplyingImplications,

I hope the venue is in a sub 12,000 meters below the ocean.

ImplyingImplications,

I can't wait until we get bots that repeat catchphrases or tell you when your post contains all the letters of the alphabet! That was the best part of reddit!

ImplyingImplications,

And 4chan does have "gold" accounts now that allow you to bypass the captcha. It's $20 a year.

ImplyingImplications,

Lobsters and crabs are essentially overgrown bugs that live in water. At one point they were only fed to prisoners.

ImplyingImplications,

I've just made it a fun game to read the post and try to guess what it could mean!

ImplyingImplications,

German is such a beautiful language

ImplyingImplications,

Scientists failed for decades to communicate the coming risks of rapid sea-level rise to policymakers and the public.

Have they? Or have the marketing and PR departments of oil and gas companies paid for endless propaganda and lobbying to prevent change?

Did scientists fail to communicate the link between cigarettes and lung cancer or was it the propaganda and lobbying of tobacco companies that convinced the government to not do anything about it for decades?

ImplyingImplications,

90% of these are faked for Internet points. Just like 99% of text message screenshots.

ImplyingImplications,

Username is not in the Simon Sayers file. This incident will be reported.

ImplyingImplications,

Arch users wish they looked like Legolas

ImplyingImplications,

My company once blocked access to its own website.

ImplyingImplications,

Fuck cancel culture.

You should tell your great-grandfather that he was practicing cancel culture.

ImplyingImplications,

What’s the best way to respond to this kind of brazen cruelty?

Voting is a must. Political apathy is how this stuff happens. Outside of voting, just being vocal about your distaste for these policies might help let people around you know that not everyone supports this. And if you come face to face with someone who is outspoken in their belief that some children deserve to starve, then you know who to avoid being around.

ImplyingImplications,

they do it for free

ImplyingImplications,

Officer I know it’s straight porn but I swear I was looking at the dude’s dick!

ImplyingImplications,

where just being involved might put you in jail like many of the lawyers who came before you

Just to clarify, his previous lawyers went to jail for lying to courts on behalf of Trump or providing Trump with advice on how to get away with crimes. Defending Trump doesn’t automatically get you in trouble.

ImplyingImplications,

And the app is literally just a browser that opens up the mobile site. Oh and it needs access to your contacts, messages, camera, microphone, pictures, files, and call logs!

ImplyingImplications,

If you mean gay as in homosexual: I’m not

If you mean gay as in happy: I’m not

ImplyingImplications,

These can’t support the weight of a person. Video games and movies have lied to me :(

ImplyingImplications,

At least with the way Lemmy is designed it doesn’t seem like even the main devs can have much of an impact.

They even write themselves that if they made changes to the Lemmy codebase that some instance admins didn’t like, then those admins can decide not to upgrade their instance. The code is also open sourced so anyone with some tech know-how can fork the codebase and remove whatever they don’t like.
