Where did you read that all employed members of the discord group were identified by a single mole? I must have missed that in the article. I myself suspect a combination of techniques was used, one of which was one or more moles.

Nah, they’re saying a member of the discord group might know the other members of the discord group. That member might rat out the other members.

(your pardon, OP, for that random-ish bit of rantishness)

No worries! I didn’t expect Mod World to get a warm response on Lemmy, ranting is reasonable and expected.

The first shooting I remember was the Heath High School shooting in 1997. Things haven’t been ok for a long time

Do you remember when rumor had it that fever reliever A made you more vulnerable to covid, so the stocks of fever reliever B were emptied?

We did lose power for a week and that both sucked and helped inform my preparations going forward.

I have prepper leanings that I satisfy by knowing my neighbors, having multiple ways to start a fire, a good supply of bottled water, and enough shelf stable food for a few months. I keep enough gas in my car to get me to Canada, have an overnight bag with a change of clothes, toiletries, and my passport. I could go more into prepping, but this is where the balance lies between my anxiety (over being in multiple politically disfavoured groups) and my partner’s differently flavored anxiety (over getting things we don’t need.)

It’s nice to be able to call your parents when you’re bleeding out in the school atrium.

The second. John 3:16 is a very popular verse in the Baptist crowd I grew up around in the 90s. I don’t think it’s any more a fascist dog whistle than a Jesus fish. YMMV on how christofascist that is.

Like, I never went to church and it’s ingrained in my brain from my classmates and reading bumper stickers.

why not add notes as marginalia?

My dad grew gourdes. One of the happiest pictures I have of him late in life is him standing on the porch, surrounded by gourdes hanging to dry. I have three of his goudes. I also have one of his loufas.

Yep. I just don’t tend to have tasks that require much state, they’re all pretty easy to pick up or put down.

I’ve had positions where I would get in the zone and didn’t want to be interrupted, I get how that feels. It’s lovely. I used to sit and rework test cases to handle updated requirements across dozens of files, back when I was in QA doing automated testing.

This study emphasizes to me that I’m not a dev, I’m the library’s designated techie (aka a systems librarian). I do write scripts, but mostly I maintain servers, help coworkers with CSS, and figure out what obscure setting is assigning unwanted overdue book fines (under Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > Physical Fulfillment > Advanced Policy Configuration, naturally).

I enjoy interruptions because they help me prioritize my day.

Our understanding of how words work is different and that is ok. We’ve clearly communicated how we each interpret the phrase, so there’s no misunderstanding in this case and we are unlikely to encounter the same phrase together again in the wild.

edit: root disagreement is that you believe the adverb “explicitly” cannot modify the verb “imply”, whereas I believe it can. I doubt either of us will convince the other.

It’s not explicitly saying X, it’s explicitly implying X. Really being explicit that they’re implying the thing.

“I’m not saying I’m running for president but I’m not not saying that, if you know what I mean”

(haven’t seen the clip, just postulating)

My new doctor’s office is the first I’ve had that didn’t ask. It’s so refreshing. Like, I’m coming in because I suspect I have hEDS. I can bend my limbs weird. Menstruation doesn’t come into it.

I’ve never owned a printer, but have always had a job where I could print personal stuff. Highly recommend. My current job, I have a personal laser printer and it’s awesome. I use it to print letters, notes for doctor’s visits, and craft patterns.

and there’s no way I’d trust my phone enough to not print travel tickets. Paper backups ftw.

Hmmm. Extra moist insides.

I’m a fan of sharing as much as the next person but I’m not sharing my toothbrush.
