I realize the origin of the name. Also, Little Boy. Either way, the person above wasn’t talking about ‘mad logs’. The mini nuke ammo in Fallout looks exactly like what’s in the photo here.

I’m also aware of that video, unfortunately. I’ve been wise enough to never watch it. I didn’t realize it had anything to do with 4chan though, does it? Internet sources say it was posted on eFukt originally, then a standalone website.

‘Fat Man’ is a mini-nuke launcher in fallout, if you weren’t aware.

Also, what happened on 4chan?

The Fallout collab I’m still pretty sure I didn’t want

Oh well! Bite it, Ralph.

Lotion is particularly weird. Not sure what they put in it, but just smelling it makes my lips numb for a few minutes.

yes! YES!

I have serious issues with fragrances. Artificial fragrances in particular (i.e. most ones) but even essential oils get to me after a while. When I’m around cologne, air freshener, deodorant, shampoo/conditioner fumes, I can taste it for quite a while. It’s completely vile. Extended exposure makes my eyes red, my lips swell a bit, and just a little makes me start oddly salivating. I guess it’s some sort of allergy, maybe MCAS, but this sort of thing is very difficult to get diagnosed. Some doctors have acted like I have some sort of uh… misphonia but for smells, but no, I can detect scents quite accurately. One reason I may be sensitive is I’m not completely swamped in 10 different fragrances 24/7 like most people.

The only thing that really works is to wash my nose out with water. Not super sanitary, but it’s better than salivating and tasting perfume for an hour. I have found that taking antihistamines reduces my sensitivity… I can still detect the fragrances, but get less of a reaction. That’s a clue. Oh, and also I have 3 different autoimmune disorders… I’ve asked around and the only people I’ve gotten a “yes, that happens to me too” response from are people with MS.

They’re perforated to half the size that paper towels typically used to be. It’s common now but wasn’t in the past.

Yes, 100% agree. No coincidence Netanyahu is a far right fascist and would prefer Trump himself.

Palestine seems like 60% of what I hear about in national news and on Lemmy. Ukraine, though, no so much. People can’t use it to talk shit about Biden, after all.

I don’t really think it was intentional, but that’s the generous, optimistic interpretation.

Shorting stocks is LIFE

I believe it’s a reference to the problems caused by the fucked up abortion laws going on recently, not about payment (though that’s its own concern). From a quick search:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/19/pregnant-women-denied-care-us-hospitals

One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her to the hospital.

Another related issue is that rural areas, especially in right wing hellholes that have passed such laws, are increasingly short on access to obestrician services and doctors of that specialty. Some people who used to live 40 miles from the nearest hospital with Ob/Gyn now live 100 miles away and lack transportation.

I feel like this got misinterpreted? If I’m not mistaken OP’s point is that reddit is intentionally censoring pro-Palestinian posts and controversy, not that the front page is now more quality.

They’ve had this for a while. The cheat code is to change the url to old reddit.

Sure, I get that. The whole thing is that they imitate legitimate accounts.

No, the conclusion would be that they’re replying to me. However I’m quite certain Americans like that exist as well.

It’s taken me years and reading the explanations a dozen times to figure out what anyone involved even thought it was about.

I’ve been using reddit since 2008 and the idea of any conservative bullshit on there would have been really surprising before 2015. Overall though the amount of generic person stupidity has increased in the past few years. Not that all sports fans are like this, but often i get the stupidest reply from someone - like, close minded, blithely cruel about whatever topic - and look at their profile and the ONLY other thing they’ve commented on is sports.

Taking his public statements at face value sure is not “fearmongering”. This deranged grandpa is often cited for “telling it like it is!!” so why would we not believe he means specifically what he says?

Russia being a threat to Europe isn’t exactly surprising considering that threat is the entire reason NATO exists.

He would leave NATO as soon as possible. No normal politician has ever suggested this before because it’s completely insane. It’s obvious Putin bullshit since it’s 100% against the best interests of the US and Europe, and only benefits Russia. It’s also a distortion that the EU doesn’t fund their part in NATO… a few countries spend less than they should, the rest are perfectly fine on that metric.
