It looks like a picture of bullet train on all the states that voted Democrat and a picture of a Nazi concentration camp train on all the states that voted Republican.

I personally used it daily for years. There was more to the site than neo-nazi threads on /pol/. Anime, manga, kpop, and vtuber threads were some of the most popular and they were all highly moderated.

I enjoyed the lack of username/post history meaning no worshipping prolific posters or doxxing people by going through their history to find a post where they talked about their work.

No upvotes or ranking system meant good and bad posts weren’t labeled. You figured that out yourself without other people (or an algorithm) telling you how to feel about it.

Frequent thread deletion meant the site was constantly a snapshot in time. It’s like going to a bar. You’re not going to know the conversations people had in that bar yesterday. It might not even be the same crowd as yesterday. The vibe is created by the people there at that time and it’s constantly changing.

The site had barely changed how it functioned in 20 years. It was honestly one of the last bastions of the old internet before everything became about “engagement” metrics.

Congrats on asking AI to recreate this meme from 2 weeks ago https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/24293631

I feel like there’s always been a culture of boys and young men who didn’t respect women, there’s just never been podcasters actively promoting it.

The internet allows idiots to broadcast their message worldwide and social media promotes the most controversial stuff in order to drive engagement and, more recently, to promote a culture war that keeps the populus divided.

Easy, just name the second kid Nadir.

All four gospels in the Bible recount a story of Jesus being brought to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, by Jewish leaders who accused Jesus of crimes and requested his execution. The story goes that Pilate had to do what the leaders asked but was not convinced Jesus was guilty of anything and decided to give him a chance at freedom. The Jewish holiday of Passover was happening and it was a tradition for Roman leaders to release a Jewish prisoner. Pilate offered a crowd of Jewish people the choice between freeing Jesus or a man named Barabbas (who is described as an insurrectionist against Rome and a murderer, not a thief). The Jewish leaders in the crowd turned them against Jesus and had them call for Barabbas to be released. Pilate is then said to wash his hands to symbolize the crowd is responsible for Jesus’ fate and not him.

Historically, there’s no evidence Romans ever released Jewish prisoners for Passover and Pilate himself is described as a ruthless tyrant who did not hesitate to execute Jewish people who did not recognize the authority of Caesar. There’s no chance he would have freed someone who killed Romans, nor would he have been forced to execute someone he didn’t want to execute because Jewish leaders requested it.

The Bible story was probably meant as an exaggeration of how much Jewish leaders didn’t like Jesus and his message and how people followed corrupt leaders over the actual son of God. The meme is pointing out people seem to have missed the point of the story and would do the same thing today.

You can learn those things any time. Do you mean your goal is for your income to be from games/webdesign/art? In that case you can always join a company. If you mean you want to independently create and sell your works it’s going to be very tough. You’re essentially starting your own business and most business startups fail.

Father, I cannot click the book!

US alcohol sales plummeting so much they’re advertising on Lemmy!

There was evil in the world before capitalism and will be evil in the world without it. The root of evil isn’t the economic system being used it’s people who seek to control others. If Trump was voted in as a communist leader he’d be doing the exact same shit he’s doing now.

The King and Queen, yes.

The source code leaked is all custom code that hasn’t been updated since 2015 and uses functions that have been removed from PHP for being insecure since 2019. The hack supposedly took advantage of PDF uploads not being scanned for embeded code. 4chan uses a program called ghostscript to create thumbnails of uploaded PDFs but the version they use is from 2012 and the hackers likely used a known exploit to get it to run embeded PDF code.

So unless the other websites are also running software from a decade ago, they’re probably good.

If they don’t fix the vulnerabilities their site had then putting it back online would just lead to continuous hacks. I’m guessing it’s going to be a massive overhall. 4chan was started by a 16 year old in 2003 and really hasn’t changed much since then.

They are grabbing people off the street and sending them to a megaprison in El Salvador without charge or trial. One man they took was told to be returned by a US court and the government refused saying that the uncharged, untried man is a criminal who deserves it and nobody who gets sent there will ever return. How is this not quite literally what happened with Germany sending Jewish people to a megaprison in Poland without charge or trial never to return?

The only people who would register would be janitors, mods, and admins. There are 4chan passes where you pay $20 a year to skip captchas and have a lower post cooldown which works by associating a token with an IP address. The token is emailed to you and you get reminder emails when the token is expiring so you can renew it. So 4chan would likely have emails for pass users too. Pass users still post anonymously. I don’t know the exact stat but I remember the owner saying something like only 1% of users have a pass.

NASA has a webpage on aeronautics that says lift is the mechanical force created by a solid object turning a flow of liquid or gas. They also have an equation for calculating lift for any solid object/fluid combo.

Feed her a stew that makes her blind for a day

Likely this. Gift cards are popular purchases when using stolen credit card details. The online order makes it easier since there’s no physical card/chip needing to be replicated.

She sold $230,000 worth of stock in a biopharmaceutical company after executives tipped off friends and family about a key drug they were researching failing to acquire FDA approval. After news became public, the company’s stock fell.

She was sentenced to 5 months in prison, 5 months of house arrest, two years probation, and recieved a 5 year ban from serving as an executive of a public company, and a fine of $195,000. She has also been denied entry into other countries like Canada and the UK for being a convicted felon.

Not everyone has tics they must surpress while in public.
