Sure, but custom emojis are like collections of these saved for people to use.

Also: they're sized better.

Actually, forbes is so bad I want to mention this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakashdolsak/2023/05/01/why-blowing-up-pipelines-will-not-solve-the-climate-crisis/?ctpv=searchpage
It's clearly written by a guy who didn't read the book.

One of the first points made is that the public doesn't support disruption. No shit, I don't think people supported the suffragettes' disruption, but that got women their rights.

Some might argue that violence against property is different from violence against people, and property violence against corporations is different from say burning down the home of an individual. We disagree. The modern corporation’s functional logic is to pool resources from shareholders (both individuals and institutional investors such as pension funds) and use them to run a business. Eventually, violence against corporations is an attack on the livelihood and financial security of people whose assets the corporation manages.

Won't someone please think of the poor shareholders!

The risk-return trade-off is a part of the bargain shareholders strike with corporations. And if shareholders consider corporate actions or inaction to be harmful, they can use economic and legal mechanisms such as shareholders’ vote or even divest.

One problem with this, the shareholders make money from harmful actions, and actively encourage them.

What if property violence against corporations hurts the livelihood of impoverished communities? There is widespread poverty in many fossil fuel communities. They often view climate change as an elite issue favored by a predominantly urban climate movement. Might these communities view violence against fossil fuel infrastructure as an attack on their livelihood—on their very existence?

Even lesser actions such as transportation disruption can invite a backlash from affected parties. Consider the incident in London in 2019: “as XR began a second two-week mass mobilization in London, one local branch staged an action in Canning Town, a predominantly Black and Asian working-class neighborhood, in which several XR members clambered onto a subway car, preventing the train from leaving. Commuters dragged the protesters down onto the platform and beat them.”

These points show nothing except that the writer didn't read the book. The XR train protest was severly critised by the author, and the author addresses poorer people who depend on fossil fuels.

This is all very fitting, because the author of the book calls forbes a billionaire rag in the book.

I (ab)use zero width spaces for posts I can't think of titles for.

 

I've seen a lot of people say the piefed API is similar to the lemmy api.

Will it become more distinct as time goes on, or do you plan on keeping them similar?

Which version of the lemmy API is it similar to? v3 or v4?

 

I keep writing "much" as "mutch" for some reason.

 

I haven't really been following this closely anymore, but ryujinx, yuzu and a few of its forks have all stopped development, what still exists?

Dice With Ellen. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/46792311

TranscriptA tumblr post by "dicewithellen". It shows a picture of ellen degeneres and it says "Its time to play dice... with Ellen!".

It has a reblog by "fuckersupreme" saying: Man, fucking Ellen. Every so often she rings me up or shoots me a text asking if I wanna play dice with her and every so often I start to try to say no, but she fucking picks up on that so fast and her fun quirky demeanor drops. No longer laughing and being bubbly, she starts to remind me of the file she has in her possession that would simply ruin me if it fell into the wrong hands. And so with tears in my eyes is reluctantly agree to play dice with Ellen. It’s always in a back alley behind some strip mall. Gross and rank. Ellen hunched over a damp piece of cardboard she uses to roll her dice on. I always ask Ellen, I say Ellen you’re so rich and famous, can’t we please play dice in like a highrise penthouse or something? Thinking of the nice all you can eat buffet that would surely be there. All highrise penthouses have all you eat buffets. I’m pretty sure it’s like some sort of requirement. If I’m going play fucking dice with Ellen​, let me at least get my fill on some slightly warmer than room temp fries. But she always just grunts a no, and then rolls her dice, not looking at me at all. And holy shit, I’m not a man who believes in luck but… Ellen is turning me into a believer because she has to be the unluckiest person in the world. Every role she does, pure shit. I don’t even really know how to play dice but fuck, I play like some kinda world champ when I play with her. And fuck, her goddamn temper. It doesn’t take much to set her off. Screaming and shouting and huffing and puffing. This fucking back alley we play in has a number of cracks in the walls from her just pounding her fists into them after each of my rolls. Fucking cracks. Brick walls. Fucking cracks. At the end of the game when I inevitably beat her, she pulls out a knife and just slices or stabs me before running off into the shadows to go fucking goofy white lady dance as she interviews Channing Tatum or something, fuck!

And holy shit, speak of the devil, would you look at this…"

It has an attachment of a text message saying: "Hey punk! Punk, where are you?"

"Please Elen..." "Cool pic of me showing famous actor chris pratt your secret. See him laughing like that? He couldn't stop. Wonder how other people would react. hmmm."

It continues, saying: "So I guess I’m playing dice tonight, and then paying the hospital a visit to attend to my future stab wounds. But I guess it bets the alternative of having people find out I sit on the toilet backwards, god how embarrassing."
