Oh no, you created mustard gas

[TV] Tron: Uprising is really good if you enjoyed Tron: Legacy ( lemmy.zip )

Cyberpunk is always a weird genre to describe. There are lots of various aspects that could make something cyberpunk and often they're completely independent of the other aspects that can make something cyberpunk. For example, there's the "neon-lit rainy streets at night with a hard-boiled detective" cyberpunk and there's the...

Kusimulkku ,

I thought it was alright but a bit too kiddie for my liking. Same issue with that Clone Wars show.

Kusimulkku ,

Is bolding every other word an ADHD thing or some zoomer thing

Kusimulkku ,

Curiosity ofc

Kusimulkku ,

He should be a hero of Lemmy then, seeing how much people hate landlords lol

Kusimulkku ,

Ironic

Kusimulkku ,

You mean that you were being sarcastic?

Ding ding ding, we got a winner

Kusimulkku ,

Don't worry about it buddy, happens to the best of us

Kusimulkku ,

There's no need to be upset, friend

Kusimulkku ,

Nobody forced you to misunderstand my post and then get super upset about it. That's all on you. You could've asked first...

Kusimulkku ,

You could've asked before getting angry and upset. I'm sorry but there's really no one else to blame here...

But it's water under the bridge. I just didn't like you branding me a troll because you didn't get the sarcasm without me telling it was sarcasm lol. That's not how trolling works.

Kusimulkku ,

What mean

Kusimulkku ,

Lmao "you should pay us to pirate"

Kusimulkku ,

Finally. It is ridiculous that they weren't straight away excluded. How can you complete when you're attacking another participant, seems idiotic

Kusimulkku ,

Would it preferably be that both go down?

Kusimulkku ,

I remember seeing a collection of Twitter posts from Americans of them being weirded out with people eating "raw tomatoes". I guess to them if they're not cooked they're "raw" lol which does fit with the stereotype.

Kusimulkku ,

Tomato taste good

Kusimulkku ,

I did chuckle at this

Kusimulkku ,

Nothing prevents you from trying to breed it

Kusimulkku ,

I have. Doesn't smell (not just according to me)

Kusimulkku ,

This is bait

American intelligence withheld information on Moscow terror attacks out of fear of exposing intelligence sources or methods ( www.nytimes.com )

The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

Kusimulkku ,

First it was that they did it and now it's that Americans didn't do enough to stop it lol.

Kusimulkku ,

Spy shit, shady? Improbable

Kusimulkku ,

I'm not expert in Fahrenheit but that difference doesn't feel like it'd make a difference

Kusimulkku ,

Strong "at least they're honest about it" energy

Kusimulkku ,

We still have those benches because there's still homeless and honestly them taking over those benches ruins it for everyone else. Not because they're homeless because they're almost always addicts and drunk people or people on drugs who might also have mental issues are a bit threatening and unpleasant to others.

Kusimulkku ,

Of course our country is the happiest when all the severely unhappy people kill themselves.

This is such a tired and old take. We've advanced miles in getting suicides down and even with them they don't represent anywhere close to big enough group to move our ranking one way or another.

Kusimulkku ,

Well we do have that. Not everyone wants to take the housing offered to them. Usually it's addiction or mental health related.

Kusimulkku , (edited )

hey! so it turns out you can treat people with mental illness and addiction

What a novel idea, we've never tried that here in Finland. If we had heard about that we might've made a lot of programs to help them, house them. Surely that should've solved the issue completely. But alas, we never knew about such things.

but you know. those people are also unpleasant, so we should probably just make sure they can’t lay down anywhere. i mean, eff those assholes.

It would be unfair to them to make the public spaces, meant for all public, unpleasant for most people to cater to those who are hostile and threatening to others. Which is unfortunately the case with drunk and high addicts. You don't want to exclude homeless but you also can't allow them to exclude others with unacceptable behaviour. And public transit stations for example aren't meant for living or sleeping in, the benches are for temporary use, often for those with trouble standing. Someone using the bench to sleep on is taking it away from others. It's a tough situation. And housing is provided for everyone. Not everyone takes the offer, often for addiction and mental health issues. You can't exactly force them either.

I feel like you live in a much more magical world than I do, with much simpler solutions to what others consider big and difficult issues.

Kusimulkku ,

Unfortunately the situation isn't solved in Scandinavia or Finland either. I've seen plenty of homeless looking people in Sweden sleeping around Stockholm. Many of them seemed like immigrants, not sure what the situation is there. I doubt they're all those pretend homeless beggars. And with Finland we have our own homeless. Even with housing and all kinds of programs to help people and whatnot, some don't take the housing, want to go into programs and so on. Usually it's addiction (often alcohol, drugs have become more common though) or mental health related. I'm not sure what could be done about that that isn't being done or tried already.

We're capitalist countries too, we just have extensive social safety nets. But there always seems to be people who fall through the cracks, for one reason or another.

Kusimulkku ,

It's true. Even with the extensive social safety net, programs for mental health, addiction, income assistance, housing provided etc, there is always people who fall through the cracks. A lot of it seems to be addiction (alcohol, drugs) or mental health related, often a combination of the two. Some don't take up the programs, housing, assistance. I don't think the situation can be entirely solved ever, without of course literally forcing people to live in a house or something. That's actually something that used to be done up to fairly late in the 1900s. "Vagrants" could be locked up and made to do forced labour or forced to join the military. I suppose it'd be one way to make the statistics prettier, though even with our current right-wing government, it might be a bit extreme these days.

Kusimulkku ,

Trust in institutions is really high here in Finland. Anecdotally, from what I've seen and heard from people who have struggled with issues (including addiction and on-off homelessness) they seem to regard those people well. Social workers, police, healthcare workers, volunteer people, those people from the "system" or close to it that interacts with them a lot are usually held in high or at least moderate regard. Of course miffed if the police "hassle" them by making them leave or stop drinking in public or something like that, but still respected and considered at least alright.

Not to say that the lack of trust couldn't exist. If we believe that most seem to have some level of trust, then it would fit in with the numbers in that Finland has fairly low levels of homelessness.

    Heh. Nothing personnel, kiddo

    The BBC Won't Use AI to Promote Doctor Who Again After Being Yelled at by Fans ( gizmodo.com )

    The backlash was immediate, but it didn’t stop the BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who. But now, the corporation will stop the experimentation entirely after a wave of official...

    BBC from using text generated by LLMs—and purportedly checked and copy-edited by a human before approval—in two marketing emails and mobile push notifications to advertise Doctor Who.

    If they're telling the truth then I don't really get what's wrong about that particular use

    Kusimulkku ,

    Chemotherapy for a dog? I think where I live it's seen as more merciful to put the dog down rather than have them suffer through chemo.

    Kusimulkku ,

    I feel like the chemo would only be to prolong their life for the benefit of the owners and not of the animal.

    Kusimulkku ,

    "the political views or policies of the left."

    Kusimulkku ,

    Beep boop, I'm a word definition bot. Here's the answer to "define the left":

    https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/90c72ea6-d5ef-4b63-aab9-4f511859d1d4.webp

    You can vote for me as a good bot or bad bot by writing "good bot" or "bad bot" in a reply.

    Kusimulkku ,

    I don't think the third are the ones who have power fantasies about them not voting but rather just people who don't bother. So they're not the ones I was talking about.

    I'm talking about the ones who are so proud of their principled take of not voting and telling others how that doesn't change the system and how the actual change happens through other means. And then the other means they are doing are maybe some complaints on social media, which is just lol.

    Kusimulkku ,

    I don't know how you are on Lemmy without seeing the sort of people who advocate not voting and instead of doing something else to change the system. They're everywhere. I'm betting even in this comment section.

    You seem to be confusing those who genuinely don't care to vote and those who aren't voting because they're totally changing the system some other way (lol). Two different groups. And I'm only talking about the second

    Kusimulkku ,

    I didn't really define how big of a group they were or anything. I just find them annoying.

    Kusimulkku ,

    Sounds a lot like what municipalities in Finland are doing. A lot of the cities have city owned rental properties and actively develop land as part of city planning.

    Kusimulkku ,

    Rent controls for private rents can be tricky. Sometimes it leads to money paid under the counter on top of rent, which is of course undesirable in a few ways. But having publicly owned (municipal etc) rental properties are an easier way to push rents down. But that also has a lot of trickiness in it.

    Kusimulkku ,

    I'm surprised someone like Shell would even have such goals. I guess the idea was that it would pay in PR or something, otherwise I don't see why they'd bother.

    Kusimulkku ,

    It's just a poor term overall. To a lot of people it sounds like masculinity itself was toxic and bad, instead of pointing to a toxic form of it.

    Should just have a better, less confusing word for it.

    Kusimulkku ,

    OP sure does live in a more magical world than the rest of us

    Kusimulkku ,

    Self-interest in stopping a Russian invasion..? lol

    Kusimulkku ,

    I think they just search for it and pick first result
