From the article:

In a deposition submitted by a lawyer for the news site, Tomczyk is quoted as saying, “I have a brother who is a gay guy, and I’ve certainly out of joking and out of spite called him a ‘f****t’ more than once.”

Zoom, enhance:

and out of spite

Out of spite? You've called someone a slur - the specific slur in question, in fact - out of spite, multiple times, and yet you're claiming this specific time you've been defamed? What's the defamation? Did they falsely imply that you were at a 10/10 on the homophobia scale at the meeting while in fact you were only at a 9/10 that day?

Chances are your tires actually DO have radio emitters in them - tire pressure sensors are wireless and send their measurements out on the 433 MHz band.

I think it’s referencing Clever Hans, a horse who allegedly could do arithmetic and would respond to questions by tapping his hoof (Clever Hans famously could not actually do math - he had just learned to tap his foot until his trainer looked happy with the number of taps).

Imagine the home automation setup an S-300 battery would need. That's a lot of Raspberry Pis.

This very much reads like Burt Ward himself eats this dog food (and, presumably as a result, has remained 26 years old since 1971).

People have been able to “afford to question this” since antiquity - it’s not some modern affectation. You see plenty of instances of people arguing for or outright mandating vegetarian or vegan diets dating back thousands of years. I am not sure if PETA’s specific reasoning (“you shouldn’t eat a fish because the fish would prefer you not do that”) is represented, but you definitely see scholars and rulers in the ancient world arguing for a variety of reasons that people should not kill or eat animals.

Because you meant to open ed: the standard text editor.

I think that’s it! I just checked and local communities don’t show the instance on my end either.

+100 to Sleeping Dogs! Seconding everything you say - plus it has the pork bun vendor.

Is this an app-specific issue? I’m using wefwef on iOS and it shows “youshouldknow@lemmy.world” as the community. It doesn’t show it for the user, though, which is another worthwhile piece of information.
