Death by potassium overdose causes runaway cell death. When a cell dies and ruptures it releases potassium which then ruptures and kills other cells.

Essentially, melting your flesh off your body from the inside.

I’ll take getting shot, thanks.

but “laying hands” is just how evangelicals normally act…

Being uncomfortably touchy on someone (sometimes against their will) and taking credit for something that’s obvious bullshit?

… Yeah that tracks.

I don’t have a whole network setup like the rest of you guys, but I’ve been naming my desktop pc’s SHODAN ever since I built my first one. Secondary/partner’s pc is named XERXES. I’ll probably never change them.

Thoroughly, yes, and the guy (Andrew Wakefield)was stripped of his medical license for malpractice because of it.

It is pointless, it was always pointless and always will be. That’s the point. Before the internet kids were stealing their dad’s or brother’s Hustlers and Playboys. For most of the internet’s time so far you just click a button that says “yes I’m over 18 I pinky promise”. In the future of the internet any effort to seriously implement age verification short of submitting a DNA sample is going to be bypassed. Trying to find porn is one of only like four things that teenage boys think about, you’re not going to stop that signal. Ask anyone born before 2000 about forest porn and they’ll probably have a story about finding a couple magazines or a VHS stashed in the woods somewhere near where they lived as a kid.

Best case, you just drive them off the mainstream sites that verify age and onto shadier websites that don’t. Or the kid that steals his dad’s ID to watch porn starts downloading and distributing them on USBs to everyone in his school, makes like $800, and then gets arrested, now this kid has an unnecessary sex crime on his record because the government really wants to know when you’re jerking off. It’s all just pointless performatism that causes more problems than it solves. And that’s not even getting into the fact that a nefarious government, which we definitely have here in America, can use that information to pinpoint especially LGBT folks via their porn viewing habits.

So at best it’s stupid and useless and at worst it’s going to get people killed.

Is it? Is it really? Please, elaborate on how that is the case. We’re listening.

He also hasn’t been checking his missed messages for at least a thousand years

Luckily there’s an easy tool to sign anyone up for infinite spam.

In a better timeline this is one of the many things a Neuralink could be good for

I would wager it was the codeine painkillers that were dynamite and the burger was mostly a side effect

Shame, too, I actually first joined the Fediverse through Kbin and I quite liked Ernest when I heard from him. Hope he’s doing okay these days.

I wonder if the mbin team has plans to turn it into the all-in-one Fediverse app, that can reach out and touch Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Loops, Peertube, et al. Seems like a neat idea. I’ll be especially tickled if they can pull that off before Elon Musk manages to do exactly that with X on the corponet side, since he’s been talking about wanting to do that for ages.

mbin is a fork of the (now abandoned?) kbin which integrates with Lemmy.

It’s pretty much the same as any other Lemmy client unless they added something I don’t know about, basically just a front end for the Fediverse.

I keep seeing a lot of arguments along the lines of “they can’t have done that, that’s against the law.”

**Republicans do not care about the rule of law. ** They loudly and repeatedly flaunt this at every opportunity. The entire reason we keep having to talk about this is because of how loudly and repeatedly they prove they are willing to break any law in order to win. The law does not matter, it is toilet paper, it does not stop them. That’s the whole REASON we are all up in arms about this in the FIRST place.

Your argument is a nonsensical one. You’ve illustrated the way the Poison Postcard is supposed to work, absolutely. But did it actually follow those rules? In some places like Texas and Georgia, that answer is a booming, resounding, FUCK NO they didn’t. So what about elsewhere then?
