Uh-huh… There is a long, LONG list of bullshit that he believed, and continues to believe. There comes a point where we either have to accept that he has the mental level of a 5 year old believing in Santa Claus, or that he is a narcissistic compulsive liar.
I might be off here, but iirc, eater is about 1000 times denser than air, so 10 meters of water gives you the same pressure as the 10 kilometers of air above you. It goes fast.
Well… I do agree with you but human brains are basically big prediction engines that use lookup tables, experience, to navigate around life. Obviously a super simplification, and LLMs are nowhere near humans, but it is quite a step in the direction.
This is why I jumped ship to DuckDuckGo like 4-5 years ago already, never looked back
Coincidentally, yesterday I was quickly setting up a new computer for some testing whilst talking to somebody about another so I was half distracted. I did a search for some package to install and got absolute unusable crap. I didn’t understand, tried again, tried different search parameters and it just got worse, and then I noticed that, since this was a new computer, the browser was using google.
I switched to DDG, and first page first hit was what I needed.
DDG also has been in a steady decline and apparently has been using Bing as it’s back-end now. I’d love to use a self hosted open source browser, or of not that, an open source federated search engine, akin to Lemmy, but I don’t see either coming into existence anytime soon.
I can guarantee you that all those puritan ass hats have the same feelings as everyone else but will “ooohhh no no no no, not me, I would never think THAT!” when asked.
Of course we should protect minors, that’s why we have these laws in the first place. However, 18 is an arbitrary age and I’ve seen girls at 15 being more grownup and responsible for their own actions than certain 25 year olds who clearly still needed protection. Just saying that a relationship is abuse because the girl is 18 and the guy is 30 is honestly stupid.
In the end, it’s a consensual relationship, it’s legal, and it may fail or not, like any relationship.
On a relevant side note: I’ve seen many relationships that are actually abusive, instead of “the girl being young”. Hell, I’ve been in one where the woman would beat the crap out of me. I’m a 2 meter (6 feet) big guy with black belt on karate, so I MUST be the bad one here, no?
That day that I got pushed down the stairs, mangled my leg, limped outside, called the police, waited for them to arrive, she came out with a bloody lip out of nowhere. Police were smart and kind enough to explain to me that they understood what happened but that next time they would HAVE to arrest be, because girl is girl and I is big bad man.
Yeah you didn’t read. My point was not “hey let’s date 15 year olds”, my point was that there are enough 25 year olds out there that are less mature and responsible than certain 15 year olds.
They did the same in the US and Mexico many times already! Start a group of people that protect the others. Obviously, they’ll need guns to do so. They’ll need to recruit new members willing to apply force and so in no time you have the next gang that cuts people into pieces and hangs them from bridges for failed drug sales while they kidnap their next victim for quick money.
Vigilantism never ends well, we are not batman, we are human.
As opposed to trump? Because trump is the only alternative, saying anything different is really sadly naive. Trump already indicated he’s willing and happy to commit true and complete genocide, wipe the Palestinians all out soooo… But Biden isn’t pushing back at Israel hard enough, so yeah, we should get trump in the White House. At least Trump will truely destroy Palestine, and then basically the world. He’ll stop help to Ukraine so that his daddy Putin can conquer that all and then move on to the Baltic states and soon Poland. Meanwhile he’ll install himself as a dictator (his own words, multiple times) so US democracy will also be fucked.
Yeah, sounds like you made the right choice, MAGA MAGA MAGA!
(For those missing it, that last paragraph is one fucking big /s)
Sorry, but the entire “cultural appropriation” thing is utter bullshit. It’s made up rules (social construct, anyone?) just to be able to be better than thou.
Honestly race is a social construct formed
No, it’s not. There are such things as different races and ancestries. I don’t gaf what rave you are, but I get pissed once you start behaving better than thou.
This “cultural appropriation” fad is godawful and needs to go. Live and Let live. Saying that somebody can’t do something because they’re from the wrong culture and if not it’s worng think is the exact behavior that you’re supposed to root out. You’re doing the exact thing as the old boomers, just on the other side!
I practice kyokushin karate, as Japanese (and a bit Korean) as it gets. I have a kyokushin kanji tattooed on my arm. I’m also a gasp white male, oh noes! Cultural appropriation! Just that, you know, I had my shodan exam taken by Shigeru Tabata himself, who is -surprise- Japanese, and who WANTS me to use parts of his culture, he is actively promoting it.
Most (just, all) people don’t mind when others use parts of their culture, that is what cultures do, they change, mix, and evolve over time. Mexicans don’t give a crap that Americans wear sombreros on Cinco de mayo, they will sell you those sombreros to being with and love it that you love that part of the culture!
In come the university students who know better than everyone else about their own culture to now tell you that you’re abusing Mexican culture!
Just. Shut. Up. Already.
Live and Let live, stop searching for and making up evil monsters, just let people be Happy.
And yes, you calling jk Rowling a terf bitch shows that you’re not writing this is good faith, you’re just trying to be edgy and punch down.
That’s because nobody is arguing that. The argument is against people saying that industrial farming is evil and should be stopped, which is a bit of a past time hobby around here.
At this point I prefer to Skype before I’d teams, and I hate Skype with a passion already.
Call quality is abysmal compared to meet, it’s a continuous crash, feature suddenly inexplicably doesn’t work, and what not more. There is always somebody who can’t get video turned on all of the sudden, always effin around with audio and this morning o cut off a teams call and decided to call the person by phone because that at least worked.
So to have a productive comment on all this teams shit (and slack shit too IMHO)
What is currently the best self hosted solution?
I used to habe nextcloud with only office, offering and allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on documents, next cloud itself rocked, but what about video and audio calls, what about chat? Anything out there that is integrated easily in next cloud?
If it’s okay that he calls for mass murder of innocent civilians, is it okay too then that we call for the murder of him and his family?
I mean, it’s a horrible thing I am suggesting, I know, but I would call for the death of one named and st most ten unnamed innocent individual, whereas he’s calling for the death of millions… I think my horrible suggestion is way, WAY less bad than his.
Seriously though, leave his family alone. Don’t harm the innocent .He himself though…?
Yeah the writer of this book shoot be taken behind a shed and shot.
Too extreme?
How many children have suffered and died due to her actions?
This writer needs to be removed from the gene pool. Don’t publish the name, just make them disappear, make that book disappear, and the world will be a little better
Been doing that all my life. For that you have water tight bags on your bike.
Also, you’ll have much more smaller supermarkets dotted all over the place, instead of one Walmart for an entire city. You just go and quickly buy the stuff you will use that day.
Nah, what will happen is that said incompetent governments will be replaced by incompetent dictatorships that will just tell people over the barrel of a gun that things are better now.
But but... If gun owners are tracked, we can be targeted! 😭😭😭 (lemmy.world)
