I can confirm it's not. I always get this warning whenever I do a fresh install of Windows 10 and try to install Chrome.

Michelin tells you where the best restaurants are so you can drive to them on their tires ;)

Guinness started the world record book to settle bar bets.

  1. Upload Topic A
  2. Comments discuss Topic A
  3. OP edits post to Topic B
  4. Comments reflect Topic A discourse.

When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I've seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.

All that said, I'm sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.

I'm sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn't really matter too much in the end.

Yep. I've been there myself. It's strange being "between worlds" as it were, but I've come to terms and even celebrate my multiculturalness.

Coconuts as in "brown and hairy on the outside, white on the inside"?

For me it's more kicking me while I'm down. I do not need a new windshield right now, life!

I'm talking out of my ass, but it could mean that the natural conclusion of democracy is mob rule, where nothing matters besides the sentiment of "the mob", a large group of like-minded people. Here he was falsely accused of theft but because enough people believed the lie, he was taken to jail based solely on sentiment.

Or not. This is my take on his "democracy manifest" comment.

What does it mean to you?

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Yeah, someone's just having a bit of fun.

Unless there are multiple people registering patients, and one of them doesn't use punctuation.

Better than beans and Stroganoff.

...I think.

I wouldn't, but I would download a hospital with said receptionist and doctor and wife.

I'm gonna play them a song on the world's smallest violin.
