Watched #Jaws for the first time in decades on the 4th. My wife saw it for the first time.
And so I am two days old since learning the film production company "Bad Hat Harry" is named after a throwaway line in that movie. #Movies #Random
The OP on Lemmy doesn't matter in this context but it's referring to a skin condition. I covered their names for privacy reasons but every single comment is made by a different person lol.
A screenshot of a Lemmy post showing a long thread of comments, each one a response to the one above it (as opposed to being separate, individual comments to the OP):
This appears to be a lack of melatonin. When you get sun, there should at least be some pigment.
Melatonin is what makes people sleep
You’re thinking of melinoma
Melinoma is what makes people have cancer
You’re thinking of melancholy
Melancholy is what Hamlet had, I think you mean Melania
Melania is what turns people orange. You’re thinking of mitochondria
Mitochondria is the power house of the cell, you’re thinking of Mephistopheles
Mephistopheles is Hell’s Messenger, you’re thinking of malaria
Malaria is a mosquito-borne pathogen. You’re thinking of maltodextrin.
Maltodextrin is a highly processed, white powder carbohydrate derived from starches. You’re thinking of Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
Malenia is a Elden Ring character. You’re thinking of megakaryocytopoiesis
Megakaryocytopoiesis is part of the process of forming platelets in the blood. You’re thinking of midichlorians.

...) 7 hours ago. The post reads: "So...price controls. That’s where we’re at now. Price controls." Below this, there is a headline from a Business Autos article titled: "Trump Warned U.S. Automakers Not to Raise Prices in Response to Tariffs. Threat came in a call earlier this month, in which carmakers feared punishment if prices go up."
@georgetakei the way the current US administration is acting politically resembles i giant game of #Jenga. They appear to pull peices at #random and then hoping everything is left standing when done.

I have a very strong "Cassandra" sense (also "GTFO" and as my friend
@densaer@densaer[email protected] calls it "Sentinel Chicken" instinct)
I have learned not to ignore that sense. Most of us live in a world of "Normalcy Bias", where we think things are normal and everyday.
I had a huge sense of that on both the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire, and discovered that even seasoned fire trackers DO NOT HAVE that same ability to "see" (or predict) the future. When your senses are yelling GTFO, and people say "oh it's not that bad", DO NOT IGNORE YOUR INSTINCTS. In these fires this week, it was fatal. DO NOT WAIT FOR AUTHORITIES TO SAY GO.
I've been writing software since I was 12 years old; I build and have built technology for all my adult life, and I still try to use the non-self checkout option and non-automated systems in stores as much as possible (to keep the checkers in the loop and employed). Fully automated everything isn't a benefit to society, it's only a benefit to the top of the pyramid, folks. The prices don't go down, the choices don't get better, those profits are not reinvested into benefit for the customer. So, don't be so fast to tell me to use the self checkout line, because it's faster. (yeah yeah, that's what your manager tells you).
