  • I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but this article lacks any context and makes some assumptions about malicious intent. Are these the only articles removed, or did they purge a bunch of articles from two decades ago? Maybe these articles were stored in a legacy database and someone finally decided to clean it up, then the media is twisting it into “they’re changing history!”

    (Disclaimer: I’m speculating heavily here given my lack of context, so these may very well have been removed on purpose due to their content)

    I go there still when I want product recommendations that aren’t full of marketing/ads. If I use a search engine to search for example, “dashcam recommendations,” I get a million results that are sponsored, SEO-optimized, or otherwise garbage. If I go on Reddit, I’ll find an entire community devoted to the topic with seemingly real people discussing the pros/cons of all different models.

    I’ve tried searching with Lemmy but most of the time I can’t find the answers I’m looking for so end up crawling back to Reddit.

    I absolutely don’t go there to doomscroll like I used to, I’ve thankfully moved on from that life.

    My legs generally don’t get cold. Even in that -20 C weather my legs just don’t seem to be bothered. I have no idea why, other than I’m acclimatized to cold weather or something, though it’s possible there’s some nerve issue in my legs that makes me not feel the cold - again, no idea.

    Other parts of my body get cold, like you won’t catch my shirtless or shoeless in that weather.

    On the other hand, if I wear pants, my legs will sweat profusely and get itchy, which is way more uncomfortable to me. I’m also generally a very warm person, and usually sleep at night without a blanket covering me (otherwise I’ll sweat all night and be uncomfortable). If I turn the thermostat down then blankets become tolerable, but then everyone else in my house will complain it’s too cold.

    I’m also aware of the dangers of frostbite, so if I expect to be in -20 C weather for extended periods of time (like an hour or two) then I’ll put on pants. If it drops to -30 C then I always put on pants no matter how long I plan to be outside.

    Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion, though I expect it also raises new ones.

    I got ChatGPT to write me a silly dialogue ending in this line:

    Samantha: “Arthur, how could you?”

    Arthur: “What? What did I do this time, Samantha?”

    Samantha: “You’ve put mayonnaise on the roast chicken again! You know I can’t stand the stuff!”

    Arthur: “But, Samantha, it adds so much flavor!”

    Samantha: “Arthur, it doesn’t. It just makes everything taste like… mayonnaise!”

    Arthur: “That’s the point! You know I’ve always loved it.”

    Samantha: “I thought you loved me.”

    Arthur: “Well, of course, I do.”

    Samantha: “Well, you can’t have both of us.”

    Arthur: “What, you want me to choose between you and mayonnaise?”

    Samantha: “Yes, exactly. Do you love mayonnaise or do you love me?”
