[greater than the] sum of the parts, my friend.

firefox and the noscript extension should get you the article. consider running noscript anyway for internet hygiene reasons.

the “weird cults” are now in your pocket and with you 24/7. I would argue that the negative effect of LLMs (and their masters) on society potentially runs much deeper than your comment suggests.

personally, I prefer the good ol double bang (!!), but whatever floats yer boat, and all that.

not disagreeing with you - I find performative “wrestle drama” absolutely, mind numbingly pointless. my preference is to participate in (and ocassionally watch) unscripted combat sport.

however… I have trained competitive martial arts for decades (muay thai, bjj, others) and most of these “wrestling” participants are pretty skilled athletes. it takes training to turn combinations of techniques designed to injure into something reasonably harmless. there is a pretty fine line separating sparring from a fight.

I know you know this, but its still useful to remember that these players are actors as well as athletes and that can obviously be pretty inviting for a lot of viewers.

he brings live shakespearean actor mojo to the small screen and makes zero fucking apologies for it. its like watching a honda civic do a quarter mile with a corvette engine.

best. captain. eva.

anyone else felt the impending finger slice in that photo? case looks pissed and out for flesh.

great answer. thanks so much.

not only is noscript your general browsing prophylactic, but it will often render js paywalls climbable. I have no other plugin as loved and as useful as noscript - immediate install on any firefox instance.

to be fair, perhaps we are not in the worst of all multiverses. I would say my heart goes out to him, but… you know.

I know, right! millennia of boring European history. nothing ever happens over there.

understood. looking back in my history, I have upvoted a few of your posts :-)

we’ll get there, eventually.

…be the change you want to see on lemmy?

post. comment. repeat.

🤯 seriously.

this machine…

that trial balloon is already a-floatin’.

non-citizen permanent resident (aka green card holder) spouting views that the govt dont like? straight to the black hole of ICE detention with you.

indeed, but so is Tor. not a perfect solution, but its there and it works well for “casual interactions”.

it was hilarious! a highlight of my day so far.

would love to poke at it, but does not seem to work via Tor with JS disabled. :´(

however, thumbs up to the idea of new, “interesting” frontends!
