Which part? The verdict or the rapings?

What’s wrong with living in India?

Bobby fingers came in swinging with high production value from day 1. He doesn’t have many videos but the quality of them is so good.

I know better vibes going on here

Xenophobia is to racism what homophobia is to ... ?

Is there a word that means “a hatred of gay people”, rather than “a fear of or aversion to gay people”? Surely there are people who simply hate homosexuality without necessarily fearing it, and vice versa. Someone who hates homosexuality should probably be condemned for their unreasonable and hateful prejudices, but...

them,

Fears also takes more forms than staying away from something. People with what you might define as more conventional phobias would avoid the thing they don’t like (maybe spiders), many would hate the thing and others may even seek to destroy it.

Go on Mr totally-not-nazi-leader Putin, open up the war on another front. That worked out so well for the last one, as your country should know.

them,

But why? The cut-off was already very generous at 15 years. How can you live outside of a country for that long and still want to have your views represented?

them,

Care to elaborate?

US Pedestrian deaths rose a troubling 77% between 2010 and 2021. (www.ghsa.org)

GHSA previously issued a report finding that 3,434 pedestrians were killed on U.S. roadways in the first half of 2022, based on preliminary data reported by State Highway Safety Offices. A second report analyzing state-reported data for all of 2022 found that roadways continue to be incredibly deadly for pedestrians. There were...

A large factor is probably the increase of phone use. I’ve driven into a lot of shit looking at my phone.

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

them,

The problem with psychiatry is that it’s expected to have quick fixes like other schools of medicine. Often the conditions are chronic and the treatment is long term at best which makes it slow and expensive. Drugs can help in the short term but they’re often not able to be replaced by correct treatment due to funding.

them,

I’m not an expert by any means but just happen to have some knowledge on the subject.

It really depends on the condition, how severe it is and if there are any compounding issues. Take something like depression as an example. In my country, UK, you’ll often end up on antidepressants, and get a referral to a specialist if you’re lucky. The specialist likely won’t have the funding or at least a huge backlog of patients to work through so they’ll be trying to get you out on your own as soon a possible, which means getting you to ‘good enough’. As a result you’ll likely remain on antidepressants when continued therapy would be much more beneficial and could take you off the medication. Drugs are cheap but time with a therapist is not.

them,

Fun stories like this remind me why my country (UK) just never feels connected to Europe. We’ve got this amazing continent on our doorstep but the poor state of our language education prevents many from feeling comfortable to explore it. I would love to share a story like this.

A new Type of Mastodon Signup that gives people a sense of Agency (fungiverse.wordpress.com)

TL;DR: The current Mastodon-signup is only removing the confusion of users on first glance, because it either hides the server-choice altogether, or leaves them with a choice that is impossible to make at this point of their Mastodon-journey. Instead, it should introduce them to decentrality on a lower scale, with a handful of...

Is it really? Can someone not just like the potter series and either disagree with or ignore the politics of the author?

them,

Thanks for the perspective. I’m not a member of the community (or much of a potter fan, other than enjoying the movies as a kid. Nostalgia) so it’s probably a lot easier for me to separate author from work.

It just concerned me that people would be unintentionally flagging themselves as an adversary. The generalisation also seemed unfair and alienating in the same way many marginalised groups are. I do understand though that one side is something you enjoy and the other is something you are.

them,

I don’t agree that this type of response is productive, there’s a lot more nuance to these arguments. It is however interesting which things we’re no longer allowed to like. Disney for example, despite their history of anti-Semitism don’t nearly get as much hate as they deserve and at a time where even suggesting something that Israel did to Gaza is bad becomes conflated with hating Jews

them,

In Rowling’s case it seems to be due to her being alive and directly benefiting from the financial success of her work. Pirating seems like a fair compromise. “I like what you make enough to consume it, but don’t like you enough to pay for it”

Maybe good creators are just horrible people

them,

I’m tempted to bite on Alan Wake 2 or Dead Space but I don’t want to use epic store. Hopefully we’ll get a good sale elsewhere over Christmas

them,

I’ve only just realised that with the way federation works, each user effectively represents their instance and it’s community. Now I know to not give anyone at fanaticus.social any attention.

them,

Is this a joke about every day being a 0-day?

them,

Is focus to infinity that different for these types of scopes compared to a conventional camera which focuses to infinity after a couple hundred metres? I would have thought the draw back would be the focal lengths giving you a very small area in frame.

them,

Because the genetics that build the vocal tract could be different, which in simple terms could mean a change in pitch. There are also more cultural differences such as speech cadence, accent, and inflection.

them,

Unfortunately we can’t pick winners this way. Even if actiblizz come out on top it’s still a win for alternative stores so i’m happy with that outcome.

them,

More like 1-2 thousand. Our politicians are surprisingly cheap to bribe

them,

Really depends what you want to create but there’s nothing wrong with just writing html and css. They’re as portable as you can get.

If you’re planning to do a lot of editing/posting then a static site genarator would be the next best thing as again you just end up with html and css which can be hosted anywhere. The generator can run on your system. Most are powered by markdown files so the content can (with little work) be migrated to another generator.

Beyond this you’re starting to get in to cms or other complex systems which i think is out of the scope of your question.
