I thought I've seen it all, but spam accounts selling priest clothing on Lemmy is a new one

I'd aim for countries that have few American immigrants, like Eastern Europe, South America, anywhere but Thailand and Japan in Asia... Of course avoid those actively hostile to Americans.

Alternatively somewhere English-speaking so you'd barely stand out - Canada, UK, Australia

Actually most countries in the world have little American immigration. Avoid Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Japan, most small Caribbean countries (I guess). The stereotypical "expat" places.

It's like any kind of immigration. A small number is always welcome, but once many immigrants of the same origin come you get social cohesion issues.

Yeah, once Netflix and other streaming companies discovered exclusive content it all went to shit.

The entire point was to have content distribution separate from production, and available in one place.

“fractional CTO”(no clue what that means, don’t ask me)

For those who were also interested to find out this means: Consultant and advisor in a part time role, paid to make decisions that would usually fall under the scope of a CTO, but for smaller companies who can't afford a full-time experienced CTO

Regular uranium is not radioactive enough. The horse will get cancer but not radiation poisoning. You have to use either enriched uranium or plutonium, or something more exotic.

In person interaction is infinitely superior to anything done online. "Meeting" people online just doesn't hit the same, even with video calls.

Cause or consequence, now that is the question.

There's already talk about opening up private AI companies to retail investors (aka regular people). Once that happens and people get fleeced one last time, then it's going to end.

We are close to the final stage but not yet. Currently we're at the peak NFT stage when everyone was generating their own slightly different monkey.

This feels uncomfortable and I don't even have a vagina

Reducing the number of false accusations. Prevents situations like someone claiming "Xyz stole my car 30 years ago, arrest them!".

Lack of evidence. It's almost impossible to definitively prove something that happened long ago to the level of reasonable doubt required by courts.

Relevance. Theft from 30 years ago has no bearing on anyone's life any more. For same reason the statute of limitations usually doesn't exist for murder. Murder from 30 years ago still impacts people today.

Yes you're right. But it was connected with the December date. It was the first youtube video to achieve 1 billion views on or around Dec 12, when the apocalypse was prophesied.

The Mayan one in 2012 was pretty good, I really enjoyed it. It ended with the masterpiece that is Gangnam Style.
