I have never made that connection before but I think you’re 100% right!

I have no idea how to begin measuring that.

Any of that can happen just by stepping outside of your house.

By that logic no person in the world is talented at anything lol. I don’t disagree with the idea that people are allowed to hold the opinion Kanye has never been a good artist, but I’m not sure what point you’re trying to go for.

Billion Dollar Movie is quite the experience

Can you link to these facts? I admit I have no doubt in my mind the website is at best a parody and at worst bullshit. But I feel I’m open minded enough that I’ll take a look at any facts you have to present. I tried to take a look for myself but everything I found on that sight seems like old man yelling at clouds.

Also I’m curious as to what you mean when you say I can cherrypick all I want? What is that in reference to?

I found a thread with 10 reasons not to trust Wikipedia. One of the reasons listed is citogenesis. Under that they write 3 paragraphs in which they first say most people don’t know what citogensis is. In the remainder of the 3 paragraphs they never explain what it is. I cant tell if that is a parody site or not.

This is a part of how any business is valued. You don’t just buy the building, stock, brand name, etc. You also buy the customer base. Any place you’ve ever done business with that later got sold, has made you a part of the sale technically.

I became really good friends with another kid in elementary school. Didn’t see him too much after middle school but was still friendly. A few years after we graduate high school he was leaving a party with a girl. He was driving while extremely shitfaced and speeding in a residential area. He blew through a stop sign and killed his passenger as well as a girl in another car. I think he was sentenced 20 years.

I casually brought up the fact that my high school had a daycare in conversation. The person I was talking to thought my school was k-12. Nope the daycare was for all the student mothers. I didn’t know that wasn’t normal lol.

I’m really just curious how undocumented immigrants enroll in universities. University of Florida was listed in OPs article. I am currently enrolled in a much smaller community college but I had to provide a lot of info on who I was and prove my citizenship and state residency. I assumed all colleges and universities do the same.

The article said he laid gasping for breath for up to 80 seconds after taking the shots. What are you referring to as something that “actually works”?

Because there has yet to be a trial

That’s a big claim to make

Why is that clear to you?

I’m not a developer but I believe it was the Voyager dev that explained Lemmy currently can’t do this. Apps only reach out to Lemmy servers while they are open. Push notifications would require the developers to run their own servers that the apps would reach out to while running in the background and no one wants to pay for that especially since most apps are free. I may be explaining this wrong.

Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.

I can agree with that, perhaps I misinterpreted the previous comments.

The burden of proof should be on whoever is making a claim. If someone accuses me of doing something with no evidence, my verbal denial shouldn’t be skeptical without proof. Brother isn’t in a position that they should require to provide proof against the claim being made against them. I didn’t see any mention in the article of other user’s printers being bricked aside from the original claim from 2022. Maybe some further investigation would come up with something, but claims made on Reddit posts and YouTube videos hardly count as proof of anything.

I dont see how the burden of proof is on Brother. If you’re looking for verification from tens of thousands of other printer users and hearing crickets, i think you have your answer.
