Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it’s kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it’s a shitpost.

Pascal was a famous thinker of their time, particularly in mathematics.

Two of the ideas they’re remembered for are Pascals Triangle and Pascals Wager.

Their triangle is a helpful tool for combinations of things. Their wager is a (kinda bad in my opinion) argument for why you should believe in the Christian God.

The xkcd comic is a combination of both ideas

You can review blocked instances here:

https://lemmy.world/instances

As for why? You’re absolutely right, this is often over political issues(drama, censorship, values, etc), sometimes technical ones, and there’s no guarantee that your instance’s mods goals are aligned with yours. In a healthy instance, you can search for the name of a blocked instance and find a relevant post about why it was blocked.

There are also blocklists: https://gardenfence.github.io/ I don’t know offhand if Lemmy.world makes use of them.

You can, of course, go to the blocked instance as a guest, to investigate or validate your mods’ claims, but a blocked instance will not shoot up on your page.

For what it’s worth, it’s been suggested that Musk’s takeover of Tesla was opportunistic, and against the desire of Tarpenning and Eberhard.

From my research, Tarpenning was pressured into quitting, and Eberhard was fired by the board of directors for lying to the board. Since Elon was chairman of the board at the time, it’s plausible (and even hinted at) that Elon played dirty to push through this firing.

I cannot say for sure if they would have handled the company more ethically then Musk, but I am personally uncomfortable hanging them out to dry simply on what could have been.

That said, I agree that employee co-ops are a top tier business organization structure.

The list after I’m done with it:

Being on Tim

Making A fort

Being high

Having A Pos Attitude

Being ass ate

Using ood Language

Be a able

Do a Lit Ex

Be Pre red

Having A Strong ork hic

Lastest.

Checked post history. Shocking lack of noods.

Ah, yes. Get ‘em in the pants with the ol’ one, two combo.

Nah. The 24 hour window is so all the rich, connected people can apply for some grandfathered exemption clause that’s not available to the rest of us.
