Luckily builders would set aside space in buildings just in case someone had an idea for how to move between floors without a ladder. Made retrofitting stairs a breeze. You can’t even tell that they were added later most of the time.

It’s American Exceptionalism at work. Unlike the rest of the world, we have no healthcare, we use Fahrenheit, and we put on our pants one leg at a time.

I’m fairly certain it’s attempts now that I’ve looked at it again. It’s been a long time since I’ve read breakdowns of the studies and what the numbers all mean. It wasn’t as simple as 41% of trans people attempt suicide. The numbers went down post transition and I don’t think suicide attempts had to be serious attempts to be counted (I think it’s worth nitpicking this).

Edit: Tried finding the survey the number comes from and got a bunch of different responses that are just confusing me more at this point. I’m probably done here, since researching suicide statistics isn’t a ton of fun.

It’s also not the suicide rate. It’s either the has attempted suicide at least once in their life rate or the thought about it rate. Can’t quite remember which, but definitely not the suicide rate.

The republican party has been pro big business since the late 1800s. As the other person has mentioned, you can see the parties’ modern economic stances by the 1930s. The Civil Rights movement just shifted them to the Business and Racism party.

You can’t just ignore the second part of that sentence which gives the right to make commits to all citizens of earth. That would include the person who wrote the last commit.

It’s more like like a seasoned veteran, not cooking seasoning.

You aren’t throwing garlic on the pan and then putting it in the cupboard. You build up layers of polymerized oil on the pan as you cook on it.

Weird insult, but alright.

So it looks like you have some trouble understanding how conversation works. Someone accused you of being a nazi. A bit out of left field if you aren’t digging through someone’s comment history. Your defense to that was to say it was not World War 2. The topic at hand is whether or not you are a nazi and your defense is that it’s not World War 2. Not “I am not a nazi”, but the go to neonazi defense of “umm actually the nazi party was dissolved in 1945”. It’s just sad.

No one is discussing World War 2 here.

Ahh. The “If it’s after 1945, it’s not naziism, it’s sparkling fascism” defense.

It’s a play on a Mad Max: Fury Road quote.

I’ve sort of done the same thing. Most console games are optimized around their ‘quality’ game mode. Many games will have the quality mode be a solid locked 30 fps while performance will be a low res, blurry mess running at an unlocked frame rate between 40-55 fps. I’ll happily play at 30 fps to avoid those issues.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to 60 fps. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!

Tinder isn’t verifying it. It’s just a joke.

English is one of the two official languages of Ireland, so it’s not considered a foreign language.

You heard about Pluto?

They haven’t though? I just checked the list of blocked instances and they are both still there.

That paragraph is part of the new terms and conditions document they released.

The ads thing is because you probably have a different idea of what an ad is then they do. Usually when they are talking about ads, it’s self-promotional stuff. Teams being built in, Onedrive asking to be setup, and especially Edge constantly begging you to give it a chance.

There’s also that link to the Microsoft store for Candy Crush in the start menu of fresh installs of Windows 10. I imagine that’s what kicked off the whole ‘loaded with ads’ thing. That’s one anyone can agree on.

It’s considered a slur against disabled people in Britain. It has the same origins in the US, but now the word is mostly used to describe high energy kids who can’t sit still.

Most elevators I’ve seen in the US have a minimum time for the doors to be open. Hitting the closed button won’t do anything, unless you had hit the open door button to keep them open past that time. So if you hit the open door button right before the doors closed to let someone in and they tell you they are actually going down, you can hit the close button and it’ll immediately close.

The subscriber count you see is based in the instance you are on. 7000+ subscribers are from lemmy.world. The bot accounts people complain about are on unsecured instances. We haven’t seen proof of any activity from them and they wouldn’t show up in the subscriber count here.
