If you’re fighting a singular male lion on it’s own… They’re not brave without their pack and they’re way more ‘bark’ than bite. It’s just like a black bear, be as big and loud as you can. Do not ever run, this triggers an instinctual urge to chase. Alone in the face of a fight it’s not sure it can win, the Lion will want to run though. That will just buy you time, closing the gap and actually winning the fight will depend on circumstances, but you can get the upper hand in a lot of ways.

Whatever happens, be thankful you’re not fighting a Tiger.

On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.

The rules only cover viral marketing when they’re not already paying off reddit.

That sounds just like 90% of the doctors I’ve talked to in my life.

I would think so too, but looks like average golfing handicaps do still differ pretty dramatically between the genders. Golf is a very male dominated sport and I feel like that might be a major factor, but the numbers we’ve collected thus far do point to a difference. Not a big golfer, but the only thing I can think of is maybe driving hit range but, I wouldn’t think that could be responsible for the difference alone.

Probably a big number, but also probably not that many in terms of user count when compared to the overall count.

I don’t think we have good data on reddit, but a lot of fairly smart people have been trying to figure that out with twitter/x. Key you have to remember is that the average user only consumes content, they don’t contribute in any fashion. So, you can have 10 or so bot accounts being more visible than 10,000 ‘active’ users and still be posting things at a rate that would seem reasonable for an average human. They’ll just come across as a highly engaged user until someone looks closer.

Ecstasy of gold is this one, Metallica played this too with the San Francisco Orchestra and it was as epic as you’d imagine:

One we’re looking for today though is this one (the main theme):

Doesn’t quite have that same riff, but some of the musical themes were reused in ‘The Trio’ which finished up the movie:

Admittedly, it’s hard to find a song based on someone just writing out the sounds they think it makes and I feel like any Ennio Morricone score really should be thought of as a singular piece in harmony with the movie itself. This was one of his best, one of those movies where the dialogue could be optional, sometimes you didn’t even need to open your eyes to understand what was going on.

From a statistics standpoint, definitely not.

As of Q4 of 2023, reddit claimed 36.4 million logged-in ‘daily active’ users. An increase from Q3 of 2023 with a count of 34.7 million. Not sure of the accuracy of user counts for lemmy, but good estimate is about 450,000 total users over it’s entire lifespan, if every single one of those was a reddit convert, we’d still be a minor blip. I don’t know if we have 2024 numbers that are comparable, but most stats indicate that reddit is likely still growing.

Spez predicted what would happen in that protest with almost 100% accuracy and most mods involved didn’t follow through and backed down. Some are trying to build something new and that’s worth pursuing but we lost that fight.

Yeah, like seriously, how are they pricing those lego bricks?

The appeal is pretty easy. You can collect items from any fandom you can think of and have the style of the figures match each other almost perfectly and look ‘natural’ together. The style chosen has a lot of detractors, but even some that don’t necessarily appreciate it are willing to compromise if it lets them make a little action scene of thor fighting vegeta.

That’s me, I’m the one who compromised.

At a relative level at least… They might still be…

You don’t want to tour nearly any company making food of any kind at a factory level. Things that make us sick really like food.

Aww, the AI almost figured out how to give the boat a real name. Look how hard it was trying.

Man, the arms on some of those people are nightmare inducing though.

You’re not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.

They’re basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.

Mine has a clock and an FM radio but mostly just loads Android Auto, it also has a physical volume knob.

Any attempts I’ve seen to deviate in any way from this solution have resulted in a worse experience.

They work, but it’s expensive and POC stage. They’re mostly just not scaled to the level that we think we can take them to.

I agree that lemmy shouldn’t take it on itself, but I do think deeper integration into other foss systems is not a bad plan. Being able to integrate a matrix instance directly with a lemmy instance would be fancy and I think exploring stuff like that further could be the key to finally getting us beyond just seeking parity with reddit.

It’s kinda sad to see Mongolia now. Not a lot going on, almost completely dependent on China.

I really really want to be on your side, Taco bell has gone crazy on the prices and I hate it.

But, on the other hand, it sounds like you haven’t even had the crispy cantina taco meal and that’s not a life I’d wish on anybody.

I think they’ve realized that they’ve successfully trained poor people to not know how to cook and then there aren’t any options left if they all band together.

Is that a nationwide thing? It feels weird over here, but yeah, it seems like a lot of the midrange/sit down restaurant small chains just never changed their prices.
