Edit: Markdown formatting woes

I think “the time” should fit “the crime” though. Taking away someone’s vehicle could negatively impact their ability to earn money for things like food and shelter. Also getting the food to the shelter becomes more difficult too, especially if public transit is poor or not an option. Stuff like this has a greater impact on lower income individuals too, and they already have it bad enough.

To me, revoking a license or seizing vehicles is a consequence where punishment is the goal. A speed limiting device has more room for rehabilitation I think. Whenever it comes to punishment vs rehabilitation I’m always on the rehab side.

All cities have fantastic public transit at all times, this is known. /s

Also what’s with the rural hate outta nowhere?

OneDrive also deletes files off of your computer if you don’t use them often enough. When I was switching over to Linux I had to download a bunch of stuff that was made on that PC! Ridiculous.

Like, you can turn that off, but I don’t think I ever signed up for that specifically.

No joke, one of the last straws for me was their stupid copilot popup on the active cell in Excel. Hated that garbage. Also their refusal to let me just use the file explorer to save my files. Maybe I’m an old fogey, but every new addition felt like a step backwards. I have now switched to Linux and am having a decent time (not for everyone tho and I totes understand if others don’t want to make the switch).

People have been mad about all that stuff too tho. Sen. Kelly included. Other bad stuff happening doesn’t make this not bad.

Markdown formatted that as a bullet point. You can avoid that by putting a backslash in front of the asterisk.

Typing this:

Will get this:

Without backslash:

Rare Microsoft W here. Is there AI included with Zork?

Trump’s just playing to his strength and trying to bankrupt more casinos.

Yeah. Like, maybe I’m misinterpreting the ruling, but it sure seems like the mod thought the meme was sexist. For the life of me I just cannot understand that perspective. I was trying to explain my feelings towards the trope in a way that I hoped relatable or understandable to the common person. That’s what memes are for, lol.

In the original R&M scene Rick is literally the villain. He abuses his power of creation to make a machine seemingly capable of independent thought and feelings, and then condemns it to a menial existence. The humor is derived from empathizing with the poor little guy. That feels like a perfect metaphor for the refrigerator trope to me.

I could have instead posted a purely academic analysis of the trope, but that’s not exactly a meme is it?

Batman:

If you sexist a sexist then the number of sexists remains the same.

I’ve succeeded not being sexist 👍

The Modlog says

lemmy.ml rules 1 and 2 (i think you intend to be criticising this trope, but you’re also using it as a punchline)

Rules 1 and 2 are

Rule 1: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

I made a Rick and Morty butter robot meme. Rick was representing “Authors and Writers” while the robot represented “Strong Female Characters”. Rick told the robot to “get in the refrigerator” in reference to the Women in Refrigerators trope.

You could maybe argue that the meme is an example of the trope, but you’d have to be bad at memes or arguing.

They’re similar to the phrase “delay, deny, defend” — the way some attorneys describe how insurers deny services and payment

I believe they were talking about this part of the article.

May I present an alternate theory

Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they’re as big of a concern as malware. Won’t someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on *sobs uncontrollably*.

This whole thing sounds like the “drugs in Halloween candy” scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.

P.S. I don’t know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

But not every language has the double meanings of right and left.

Probably a typo of “said maybe”
