Weird part is the last announcement I can find from .world admins said those communities were going to be reinstated, but then here we are months later and they still seem busted.

BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•OpenAI's Altman will donate $1 million to Trump's inaugural fundEnglish3·4 months agoThey’re probably right.
Trump can say he won them over and that all of our best tech companies are friends of the government and him personally (which are the same to him). That’s pretty close to Trump’s favorite thing.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Bugs, mold and mildew found in Boar's Head plant linked to deadly listeria outbreakEnglish81·8 months agoAt a relative level at least… They might still be…
You don’t want to tour nearly any company making food of any kind at a factory level. Things that make us sick really like food.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Drivers Hate The Tech In Their CarsEnglish1·8 months agoMine has a clock and an FM radio but mostly just loads Android Auto, it also has a physical volume knob.
Any attempts I’ve seen to deviate in any way from this solution have resulted in a worse experience.
It’s unethical because it’s gross and I personally don’t like it.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I drew the Mexico states by memoryEnglish0·9 months agoI spent way too long thinking the biggest problem was that Argentina was in the wrong place. Technically, it was in fact in the wrong place.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead HeatEnglish1·9 months agoI feel like you’re confusing the people who make the bets with the people who make the odds, those are interconnected obviously and react to each other, but it’s two separate parties.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead Heat31·9 months agoIt’s real easy to make polls go whichever way you like if you try and it may be in someones best interest to make sure only the ‘correct’ polls are widely known. We’re spoiled in that we’ve been able to expect the organizations involved to be trustworthy and not do that, but I think a lot of us feel that that’s been less and less true.
For the betting markets, their success relies almost solely on them predicting odds correctly and consistently. Our respect here is for the people who dedicate their lives to making sure the gamblers lose. Could obviously still be manipulated, but in this case doing so is at least contrary to the purpose of the organization instead of in the previous case potentially actually supporting it…
Not going to lie though, is a weird shift, I get it.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Kamala Harris Wipes Out Trump’s Swing-State Lead in Election Dead HeatEnglish52·9 months agoThat does kind of explain a lot.
I know we’re all in our own occasionally overlapping echo chambers, but the betting odds and prediction markets still tend to favor Trump, some of the larger ones pretty heavily. It’s very disconnected from the narrative I’ve been seeing about Kamala here and elsewhere, I hope that narrative is right, but still doesn’t line up.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•75 tons of illegal fireworks seized in Los Angeles area, largest fireworks bust in California historyEnglish11·10 months agoI know it’s kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that’s also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Share your special interest with anyone who will listenEnglish0·10 months agoBut yes, what kind of unit is this?
How lifelong friendships are made.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Killer sporting Nazi face tattoos is found guilty of brutal strangling of two Florida women hours apartEnglish1·10 months agoAs a kid growing up with deadpool comics, that is still a bit of a trip. Of all the Marvel characters that they could make movies off of, I would have put Deadpool near the bottom. I’ll never get used to Deadpool being mainstream.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I wonder if they have a lemon flavor to them?English0·11 months agoI don’t know why, but I’ve never had a worse hangover than after having a few of those. Taste is alright, but do not recommend.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Millennials are 'quiet vacationing' rather than asking their boss for PTO: 'There's a giant workaround culture'English2·11 months agoNot quite the focus of this article, but I’ve personally ‘worked from home’ while on kind of a soft vacation.
During Covid, found a great trail which had alright cell reception at the summit. I had a few days where I’d go hiking in the morning and work on my hotspot for near the top. Had a few weeks off and on working on a balcony in Florida overlooking the beach. There’s definitely some out there taking full days off and doing nothing, but I feel like a lot of the mentioned ‘time off without telling your boss’ is probably closer to situations like that.
I think that brings up the question of how do we go about establishing an absolute position? If everything is moving, what isn’t?
Everything being relative is a hell of a thing.
