If you hang around long enough, you'll get a DM from someone named Nicole, aka the Fediverse Chick, trying to phish you into clicking some probably sketchy links. I don't think anyone really knows the story behind it. There's a whole community dedicated to it at !nicole@feddit.org

Thought this was a Nicole parody at first.

Can we call you the Fediverse Dude?

That's correct, it is, but that has nothing to do with the post I was replying to, which claimed

Anything not to paint Israel as child murderers, I guess.

Either way, I'd say that the the lede they did use - 'Israeli airstrikes killed at least 100 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Thursday[...]' - is just fine.

What would you have had them call it?

Israeli strike on a school in Gaza kills at least 14 children, 5 women, and (presumably) 8 men, Palestinian health officials say"?

As it happens, children, women, and men are all 'people', and using the collective term makes for a more concise title. It's not like they're sugarcoating what actually happened.

The bodies of 14 children and five women were recovered from the school in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City

It's literally the first sentence of the second paragraph.

I believe you're describing a Tin Litho Climbing Monkey.

Here's an example.

I think the trailer and Steam page makes it pretty clear that this isn't just aimed at furries. Not that furries won't jump on it - we will, but it's not just for furries.

As a US citizen, I consider the current administration an enemy, too.

Checks out, that's about what a house cost in 1979.

$14.99 in 1979? Christ. You could just about buy a house for that.

I'm not sure a theatrical release is the best option. They might have been better off selling it to Netflix or some other streaming service; as much as I want to see the movie, I'm not sure I'd actually go to a theater to see it. (Not because of a lack of interest in the movie, but rather, it takes a lot more to get me into a movie theater today than it would have 5 years ago.)

Wouldn't you be least likely to die if you were, say, in a coma, under 24/7 medical surveillance in a hospital, or some other similar circumstance? Being out in public at all raises the probability of dying, so how would you ever go out? You wouldn't be able to use a knife, or even scissors. You'd never be able to interact with anyone online - there's a non-zero chance that someone takes such offense with what you say that they find where you live and come hunt you down, so it's safer - infinitesimally so, but safer - to just not go online at all.

What I'm getting at is, the scenario you've laid out with the bounds you've set just means you'd have the worst life imaginable. At least you'd be alive, though?
