doctorcrimson,

Oh shit, ProZD! I love his comedy sketches. Recently his channel was at risk of ending but I guess a bunch of people donated on patreon or something?

doctorcrimson,

I think he got… the point.

doctorcrimson,

I don’t know anything about Venezuelan elections but I think your downvotes are due to an unintentional implication that Venezuelan Refugees would vote in the USA, which they cannot. People are misunderstanding your statement.

doctorcrimson,

“Deportation” means forceful expulsion.

Also, Palestinians aren’t fighting Israel, they can’t. They’re completely at the mercy of Israel. The people fighting Israel in Gaza are Millitant Groups who originated in Iran and Egypt, and who who obtain all of their weapons and funding from Iran, Egypt, and Israel. Some Palestinians might be fighting for Hamas but Hamas was never fighting for Palestine.

doctorcrimson,

If there is no /s then it wasn’t sarcasm. The opinion you thought too stupid to be a real person’s thoughts was absolutely accurate to somebody somewhere.

doctorcrimson,

In ancient China they played The Cycle of Life, Death, and the Five Elements but it became so convoluted and toxic everybody left the community.

doctorcrimson,

I’ve seen like 5 posts about “AI BF/GF” today and it never ceases to surprise me how fucking easy it is to dupe people with these products, like holy shit humanity is fucked.

I’m always waiting for another ethical disaster trend to end but everybody is always in line for Mr Bonez Wild Ride.

doctorcrimson,

It’s a very nuanced situation, but the people being sold these products and buying them are expecting a sentient robot lover. They’re getting another shitty chatbot that inevitably fails to meet bare minimum companionship standards such as not berating you.

There currently exists no ethical use of LLM AI. Your comment can be construed as defence of malicious people and actions.

doctorcrimson,

Nah, bullshit, so far these LLM’s are as likely to insult or radicalize you as comfort you. That won’t ever be solved until AGI becomes commonplace, which won’t be for a long ass time. These products are failures at launch.

doctorcrimson,

Idk how the general public viewed India 40 years ago, but from my vague understanding of their modern history they’ve always been known for a cruel caste system resulting in poverty and disease, which was massaged by the English introducing more widespread transportation and education but castes and disparity still persists after several revolutions. Don’t get me wrong, the English were cruel and apathetic, but clearly the locals learned a lot from them in good and bad ways both.

I recently learned about CPI parties of India but they also ingrain religion into their politics? That sounds like one step forward two steps back. I’d love to see more Indian politics and international news in the news and politics communities on Lemmy, sounds like a lot is going on over there and I’m getting real sick of hearing about Taylor Swift’s jet and Biden’s Cookies.

Oh and also, skin whitening cream is pretty fucked imo. I saw a story awhile back where a famous light skinned actress played an ethnic minority role where they blackfaced and lived in filth, clearly something is wrong there.

doctorcrimson,

Spray on tans are also frowned upon, where I’m from. But the natural production of pigment in response to sunlight isn’t nearly comparable to chemically changing tones or caking on makeup to hide your ethnicity.

I still don’t see them on the same level as attempting to change ones race as a show of wealth. People should see the beauty of their natural skin.

UV Radiation is required to produce Vitamin D, the World Health Organization recommends a minimum of 5 minutes of direct sunlight exposure a week to avoid deficiency.

doctorcrimson,

Why do you need to give it a go? Why are you defending the practice of skin whitening creams?

doctorcrimson,

Sounds like a cope.

doctorcrimson,

I think a more utilitarian and functional approach to beauty standards would be better for everyone. Paler is less healthy, so is being overly tanned, natural is best. People can be lighter or darker to a certain extent but their natural pigmentation has a range defined by their racial characteristics, and they should never be ashamed or disgusted of their natural tone. To say lighter or darker is more beautiful is racism, simple as.

doctorcrimson,

Some cultures perceive being fat or skinny differently because of the correlation of wealth which changes between impoverished nations and developed nations. Being overly fat or thin purely for cosmetic purposes is almost universally shunned by progressive movements because it is factually and objectively worse than a healthy weight. Skin Tone will be the same way. Future generations will look back and agree with me on this.

doctorcrimson,

It’s incredible that their population came back without me even noticing. I had just assumed Asian Waling Ships were going to keep whittling them down all these years.

doctorcrimson,

PoE 2 announced a couple years ago and should be launching soon, pretty much the same stuff on a new engine.

doctorcrimson,

For me it was a very short experience, but it’s got online coop.

doctorcrimson,

You might like the Divinity series.

doctorcrimson,

All of the promotional footage I’ve seen for it looked indiscernible from PoE 1 gameplay and graphics but maybe that’s due to ongoing development.

doctorcrimson,

Slower? I tried to speedrun PoE once and because of a build mistake in Chapter 2 Act 3 it took me 14 hours to beat the base game before maps. Terrible time, but still.

doctorcrimson,
  1. It was unthinkable to millions of people that an attack on the USA could reach so far in as to hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in a single morning. We were the strongest military on earth and had fully operational radar, but failed to keep planes from absolutely demolishing the towers. A lot of people just can’t understand the complicated stuff like that.
  2. The government has done a lot worse.

Was steckt hinter die RTO-Bewegung? (feddit.de) German

Guten Morgen aus Deutschland, wo der Markt für Bürogebäude den stärksten Rückgang seit zwei Jahrzehnten erleidet, da höhere Finanzierungskosten und schleppende Trends bei der Rückkehr ins Büro den Appetit der Anleger trüben: Der Abschwung beschleunigte sich im vierten Quartal mit einem Rückgang von 13 % gegenüber dem...

doctorcrimson,

Dumb take

doctorcrimson,

Because absolutely nobody benefits off of it. Property owners lose profit as buildings go unused and become dilapidated. The government gains nothing. Potential buyers lose an opportunity. Who wins?

I can understand the feeling when it seems like the whole system is acting against our interests, and sometimes it really is, but the intentions of regulations are not to reduce housing availability unless regulators somehow benefit from it.
