They are definitely not misleading. They break it down in the same page by suicide, accidental killing, and etc. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

So it’s 9,611 as non-suicide deaths. That’s 51 per day and 2 per hour.

I got the same error briefly trying to comment. Bizarrely, I could comment immediately before and after in response to other threads.

From the Act:

  1. "Social media company" means a person or entity that provides a social media platform that has at least five million account holders worldwide and is an interactive computer service.

So it’s a nonissue.

Also, is there formatting on here? I just defaulted to my old habit of > for quote text.

The dude who made a floppy disk as a save icon is owed trillions.

Lol I remember someone in that thread asking Woody if he remembered taking a high school girl to her prom and knocking her up. And the social media manager faking Woody’s involvement just answering “can we stick to the movie?”

… why would it possibly be “shut down” and who would do it?

My dumb ass understanding:

Lemmy has an API that allows for easier and more featured app deployment than kbin.

The vast majority of social media and forum users are fucking around on their phones, and therefore want apps that make it more convenient and better formatted than a phone’s web browser.

Hence, Lemmy is getting more traction because of app availability and features.

I’m not trying to be overly dismissive of your concerns, but aren’t most instances run on some dude’s spare computer for shits and giggles? I wouldn’t expect continuity or risk management at all. But also, nothing is lost but a little convenience if one disappears.

Private health insurance is going to cost you ballpark $400/month, provide no coverage for any preexisting conditions, provide no coverage for your family members (just the enrolling individual), you will typically pay the first $10,000 or so each year before your insurer covers any of the costs, and if you end up needing to use it a lot they will cancel you the next year.

Affordable Care Act coverage will cost about the same but cover preexisting conditions, you can usually cap your own cost for regular checkups to $20, and they won’t cancel you the following year unless the insurance company leaves the marketplace entirely.

Private employer provided coverage varies wildly depending on the size of the employer (because they have more leverage in negotiating with insurance companies) and the employer’s own ideas.

Both of those games were so fucking good.
