@a_lizard that's just how you interpreted my comment, but nothing in my comment expressed that. Lol = laugh out loud. That's an expression merriment or the the perception of humor.

@a_lizard yeah pretty much, lol. It's funny to me that someone could unironically find outrage in Minecraft :)

@a_lizard not boring, just tiring. Lots of people take offense to the most inane things, but to remain silent about their ridiculousness is to give them power. A good example of this is a comment you made about me wrt pronouns. You implied that not having pronouns in my bio is somehow offensive, but you just didn't like that I don't have tribal signals that mirror your own. Pretty silly.

The ethos "toot quickly, toot often" is applicable both inside and outside of Mastodon.

@eee @maximilien ridiculous and pointless. Such blatant racism has no place here.

@binyamin why would Windows talk about itself like that? True or not, it's not a good mindset

@freemo blocking the pipeline means less economical fossil fuels, which will aid in the transition to renewable energies. CO2 accumulation will be far more important in the long run than just spilled oil.

@freemo the amount of oil mined is heavily influenced by the profit margins available in the market. Are you saying that oil moved without the pipeline is cheaper than oil moved with it?

@valleyforge @freemo that would be a much better, more efficient solution in every way, but I'm not sure it's politically possible in the USA.

@freemo @valleyforge making oil less economical than other energy sources is the only way to actually drive widespread change. There are multiple ways to make oil use more expensive.

@0x0f I tried this strategy once. Lost nearly half my seed money and had a ton of fun. Can recommend.

@dv8 your confidence is infectious. Would you accept $50 million for 10% ownership?

@FailForward this is known. Corticosteroids are powerfully antianflammitory, but they also suppress the immune system. A lot of the ARDS caused by COVID is by the immune system causing lung inflammation. It has been known this whole time that steroid use is a balancing act between symptom alleviation and immune system suppression.
