Dwarves really get the short end of the stick. They’re not “greedy” for digging too deep, it’s literally what they were made to do. Their whole economy depends on mining. What do you want them to do, grow crops? With what farmland? The elves and halflings took it all. And elves never awaken ancient evils of the forest by growing trees too tall, and halflings never face the consequences of their greed in eating too much. Dwarves spend all day working so they can survive, and the stories call them evil. Elves spend all day lazing around in their vacation homes, and if you complain, somehow you’re the bad guy.

Well, to be fair, “Why can’t websites just remember that I said no to cookies?”

Are you trying to tell me smoking saved his life?

Yup, the weird cheeses.

But yeah, it is delicious.

Crime dog is back!

I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m not convinced downvoting comments has any effect on YouTube.

The names and PFPs still give it away if you know about them.

They’re not just “casually” stealing comments. They steal a random comment from the video, then have a bunch of other bots give it a bunch of thumbs up so that it appears towards the top and accumulates more upvotes than most human comments make. 95% of the time it seems, the real comment has one or two upvotes and is buried so far you have to scroll multiple pages to reach it.

And I didn’t realize you could edit images on Lemmy. Neat!

Does that console have solitaire?

Probably that other comment (right above this one for me right now,) with this being meant as a reply.

Disney says Piccolo agreed to similar language again when purchasing park tickets online in September 2023. Whether he actually read the fine print at any point, it adds, is “immaterial.”

Whuh? Why didn’t they make their case around that instead of Disney+?

I think, if Elrond took it by force, he wouldn’t be able to drop it in either.

No wonder he reposted. He’s one of those older models, programmed by a central computer. Not us, we’re independent thinkers.

Your message could have been more efficient:

• “who say” already implies people, so you could have said “those who say” to be less redundant.
• “do so” is needlessly making a reference to exactly what you just said. Try “They say ‘tuna fish’ because”.
• “someone else” is redundant because the only person that’s not “else” is the person in question, and they wouldn’t have heard it from themselves.
• “the kind of people to” is redundant because you already established that they’re people. “the kind who” would be more efficient.
• “blindy follow others” doesn’t need to say “others” because it’s obvious that they’d be following someone other than themselves.
• “neither of those redundancies” is also a tad redundant, referring back to the established redundancies and then calling them redundancies again.

So a less redundant version of your message:

They say “tuna fish” because they heard someone say it, and are the kind who blindly follows rather than engage in critical inquiry and actively eliminate redundancy.

Intelligent people say neither redundancy.

Of course, I’m just poking fun. I don’t expect anyone to eliminate all redundancy from their speaking; some of it has use, especially in verbal communication. For example, saying “datil pepper” even though datil also refers to the pepper is useful because someone may not recognize that a datil is a pepper upon hearing it (though you’d be hard pressed to find that scenario with tuna outside of ESL.)

I suspect there’s a law requiring it, because I don’t think corporations would choose to be that nice.

Is it bigger than an elephant?

But they’re naturally not us for some reason, right?
