There's a joke: A woman asks her programmer husband to pick up groceries. "Get one gallon of milk. If they have eggs, get ten," she says. He comes home with ten gallons of milk. "They had eggs, honey," he says.

The first layer of humor is his control flow interpretation failure. The second layer is that he doesn't even understand operation order: Going by his own misinterpretation, he should have picked up eleven gallons.

For peoples that find themselves sad that not much people interact with them, maybe some tips (quickly typed from phone bc I feel like it, so filled with typos) :
- Filling you bio with decent number of infos (like what you do, what do you belief, how should we call you, what you like...) kinda help breaking ice. Also empty bio or borings ones with no statements at all might also raise suspicion on your objectives there.
- Dig posts on public timelines / what your follows boost (Also don't forget to check the poster's bio if they don't want certain type of interactions) and don't feel afraid to interact kindly
- Follow peoples posting stuff you're interested with ! There's no Twitter algorithms trying to fill your feeds with targeted content, so you're the only way out to have stuff to read and interact with (But again, don't forget to check if the person you're trying to follow is okay with strangers following them, some might want a few interactions before)

Fact of the Day: The F14 Tommycat fighter jet is helping fight climate change by carrying synthetic clouds (Developed by the Boffins at LARPA) into the skies over Wales that can be remotely operated to create freezing rain which helps cool the planet. #AvGeek #Sustainability

Writing a big fediverse FAQ. Please send me questions that you have often heard from people when you tell them about pleroma / the fedi.

Obama's antitrust enforcement record is terrible - he didn't just squander the opportunity of the Great Financial Crisis; his enforcers actually made things worse, leaving midterm to work for white-shoe firms that worked to secure mergers.

These enforcers saw themselves as "dealmakers," not cops. They allowed 90,297 mergers during Obama's terms, taking action on only 313 of them, accounting for 3% of the $11.67 *trillion* in merger activity 2008-16.
