Ok, fediverse, the fountain of endless knowledge, I have a burning question. Please enlighten me on how you interpret this claim.
"When you’re added in a group chat with someone, have you gained the implicit permission to post creepshots of the people in the chat if you happen to bump into them in your daily life?
Is this an universal rule or does it have some rules/limits on it?"

"If you get your picture of what’s happening from “news analyses” rather than experts who actually do the math, you might well think that the Trump trade war is basically over, that we’re back to more or less normal policy.
The reality is that we’ve gone from a completely insane tariff rate on imports from China to a rate that’s merely crazy. And China accounts for only a fraction of our imports."

The image features a close-up of a banana with its peel partially removed, set against a dark background. The banana's skin is textured, with visible lines and creases, and the lighting highlights its natural yellow color. The peel is peeled back, revealing the inner part of the banana. Overlaid on the image is white text with a black outline, reading: "when the teacher asks for your name but chatgpt servers are down." The text is centered and covers a significant portion of the image, contrasting with the dark background and the banana's color.

in reply to lumi • • •The video presents a serene, rural scene featuring a dirt road that stretches into the distance, bordered by lush greenery on both sides. The road is flanked by trees and shrubs, with a few parked cars visible in the background, including a red car. A utility pole stands prominently on the left side of the road, and a signpost is partially visible. The backdrop is dominated by a verdant hillside, suggesting a mountainous region. The sky is overcast, contributing to a calm and quiet atmosphere. Throughout the video, there is minimal movement, with no significant changes in the scene, maintaining a consistent view of the tranquil setting.
