Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant “Steven” for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.

As cool as that is, it does end up looking confusing. Maybe some quick visual indication (possibly customized by each user) to show source of comment could help.

Eventually a great idea, but that’s not rolling out particularly soon.

A company going public is always a bad sign to me. Whenever I see it, I instantly distrust what that company might be doing next. Clearly it’s bad if my gut reaction is to distrust.

Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.

Depends on your scientific familiarity. Also, part of the turbo encabulator script is that most of the words are not odd, it’s how they’re joined which is odd.

Ultra-right wing groups slowly taking over various branches of the government because roughly 30% of the population will always vote for them, no matter what.

I would just keep working. UBI should be unlocking the ability for us to pursue our passions, hobbies, and mental/physical health. If I just gotta work anyways, I choose my current job.

Yup. Literally just pinch the bottom nub and it’s open.

Yes, kinda. It’s a go-to for white nationalist types to complain about a lack of diversity in opinions when they really mean they’re mad everyone hates bigotry. They feel that all conversation is biased simply because the people don’t seem to want to be haters as much as they are. So it’s not really that they want more diversity, it’s that they want the conversations to be diverse enough to accept their views.

I usually clarify that it’s been a very long time and I want it all gone.

Are you wearing shoes without socks?

The asklemmy ones are the annoying ones. It’s less a question and more a conversation starter

Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.

However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.
