St Peter gets laid off, and unionises the other saints to go on strike.

Not the best example, the health risks from radium dials were mostly to the people that painted them, because they licked their brushes to point them.

I always assumed it was simply a matter of perspective. E.g. someone leaving the USA for the UK is an expat to the USA but an immigrant to the UK.

Not temu, but I buy loads of stuff from aliexpress, from dice to entire 3d printers.

If your kid tries to eat their camera you have bigger issues to worry about.

Viral is no longer a strong enough adjective for headline editors, we now have MEGAVIRAL.

There’s no need for mastodon to be in the mix here, whatever software they are using can federate directly. I know wordpress already has a plugin to do exactly that. (I have no idea what CMS major news outlets use, hopefully not wordpress)

The Skripal thing? No amount of tanks or missiles can stop espionage.

And that’s only the frontend “server” that can be self hosted, the “relay”, that’s more equivalent to a mastodon instance, doesn’t seem to be self hostable.

From an entirely selfish perspective, the UK has very few threats militarily, unless the French decide to invade again.

Well now I’m going to have to use it even more.

The term isn’t quite as specific as you want, but it sounds like a positive feedback loop? (the linked article even gives ponzi schemes as an example)

Sunk cost fallacy?
