Mathematically it works out to half the ~~cancer~~ type 2 diabetes and stroke.

Edit: Fixed the disease

Pros: price

Cons: the watch doesn't work and now you have lead poisoning

I can smell this comment, and now I have even more microplastic in my blood.

I have no idea about the site itself, but having the domain registration showing as private isn't necessarily a red flag in itself. I do it myself to avoid spam, and it's a free service offered by many registrars.

As someone else commented, however, if it feels fishy you're probably correct.

That's fair. I'm certainly not against the concept of drinks with sugar alternatives, but for whatever reason the only one I actually enjoy is Fresca.

It's the "no sugar" part that I find the most blasphemous.

Classic Lemmy user, bringing not one but two laptops to a live show.

Given that I mostly play heavily-modded games, a run is usually "complete" when it is abandoned due to its inevitable TPS death.

Right? At this point I'm just sticking with WordPress because I can't be bothered to migrate a bunch of sites off of it. Every year for the past decade it's felt jankier. Tumblr's backend has to be a dumpster fire for this to seem like a good idea.

My criticism aside, WP still has the convenience factor of being the open source web platform that has a plugin for just about any need. Whether those plugins are gonna break for site or introduce interesting new vulnerabilities is a different discussion.

I'm more curious as to why "$1.00 Drinks" costs $3.30.

I think "legalese" might be close to what you're describing. It can still be ambiguous, but it seems to be our best attempt at avoiding that. Some forms of technical writing may also meet your definition.

If you ignore the first W it reads to me as, "Fart Free Water." That's actually an attribute I like in my water.

 

I just wanted to thank Tmpod for creating this community. I was complaining about a general lack of places for episode discussions on the Fediverse, and Tmpod mentioned thinking about starting a community for The Boys. Given that I'm also a fan of the show, I'm very happy to have a place to share thoughts on the episodes of this new season.

I'm now prioritizing watching the currently-released episodes of Season 4 asap so I can help get this party started.

Tmpod is a great example of what makes the Fediverse so great!

 

Inspired by another recent synthwave post here, I thought I'd share a different aspect of the genre. Whereas a lot of synthwave has a dystopian John Carpenter feel to it (which I think is great!), tons of groups sit on the other thematic side of 80s throwback, having a more upbeat John Hughes movie kinda sound.

These Australian dudes rarely release new music but everything they touch seems to end up perfect. If you like poppy 80s sounds, incredible vocals, and campy SciFi you'll probably love this. They've developed a whole SciFi universe to go along with their music and bill themselves as, "The Interstellar Synthwave Band."
