You need professional therapy, not "advice" from Lemmy

exanime ,

Lemmy advice for someone struggling who really needs therapy for a harsh problem can definitely be worse than nothing

exanime ,

Firedragon for desktop (fork of Floorp) and IceRaven for mobile (fork of Firefox)... Super happy with both

exanime ,

It's called hyperbole

People, this is what bravery looks like... Not walking around Walmart with an AK 15 and a Sons of Anarchy shirt

Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth ( thencbeat.com )

“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”...

exanime ,

Asking because I don't know, please don't read into it more than that...

What's the problem with chicken and watermelon? Other than not been a fancy food, it seems a step up from the pizza lunches we normally get

I understand there is a link (not a negative one, as far as I know) between African American folks and fried chicken... But as a Venezuelan native I would not be offended if my work served me Arepas as a celebration of anything related to me or my culture

exanime ,

Thanks for the answer and the link. I was unaware the link between Black people and fried chicken was derogatory... I assumed it was more cultural like Polish people and Perogies or British people with fish and chips

exanime ,

I think the point is that "it isn't" if people are clamoring on the streets for an election that never comes.

I guess we'll see what happens next

exanime ,

Wow, it sounds like a worse decomacry than our first past the post shit in Canada

I mean, imaging getting the same hated head of state no matter who you vote for

exanime ,

Thanks for the informative reply kind stranger

  1. MS has a horrible track record on privacy or even caring about their customers; Apple, deservedly or not, has higher level of consumer's trust

  2. MS brought out features too obviously ripe for abuse built in the most insecure way, lied about it and was quickly proven a liar. Apple says they built their AI in a secure way, their fans believe them and have not challenged

  3. Undoubtedly, there is still a huge Apple fanbase that would tell you Apple's turds smell nice. So there's a portion of that in the mix as well

We need to check what calendar is fElon on... He keeps saying "next year" for shit that doesn't happen... Maybe he is from the future!

Lol

That's AI taking people's jobs already

“Complete Dehumanization”: Israel Killed Over 800 Palestinians in 11 Days ( truthout.org )

From June 1 to June 11, Israeli forces killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded over 2,400 as they carried out bombardments and raids across Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported. This is an average of over 72 Palestinians killed each day at the hands of Israeli forces....

exanime ,

I'm sure this time, unlike the prior times in the last 5000 years, slaughter will bring lasting peace

/S

exanime ,

The title reads: "we can solve the climate crisis, but we won't"

exanime ,

All these claims are simply taking a look at a different angle.

It's like saying "cars pollute" and you reply with "but have you seen the beautiful colours they come in and how much faster than mules they are"

You are not wrong but neither are the people claiming humans are, as a herd, fairly dumb and incredibly selfish

exanime ,

Have we? Or do we just call it something else and make sure not to look?

exanime ,

wtf? by what standard?

if the climate change inaction (or worse, sabotage) did not convince you, I am certain the COVID behaviour should have

Humans frequently band together during disaster

If they are directly affected sure... otherwise people may throw some money (which is usually promptly embezzled) and move on

humans care for their young and old

Their own young, sure let's say that is the common majority. Their own old? a lot more questionable. Other people's LOL... can't tell you how many people complain about their taxes feeding other people's children. But this is not an argument against what I claimed... what I said was basically echoing what Tommy Lee Jones beautifully said in MIB, in a nutshell: a human (as an individual) can be AMAZING, but humans (as a herd) tend to default to he lowest common denominator and that sucks!

humans don’t typically engage in cannibalism of the weak

what do you think capitalism is?

humans rarely fight to the death or even serious injury

Ok, now you are joking... no matter how old you are, I know with 100% accuracy that you have never lived in a world where, somewhere, there was a military conflict and people were being slaughtered... I know because we have not had such a time since 1816 (and that may just have been an absence of records)

exanime ,

Again you are missing the point.

I know many great individuals, it's the masses I fear

You won't know the masses by knowing a few people. You learn by studying history and looking at statistics

exanime ,

I'm actually quite older.... And as you get older you'll see how the masses do not act as their individual parts

exanime ,

It's a well documented sociological phenomena.. maybe read a book before raging

exanime ,

So translating Musk to reality, they probably have 2 robotic arms working of a pre programmed algorithm that make them go back and forward

exanime ,

Translation: power hungry man sees a chance to gain power and disregards the cost

exanime ,

When you run an engineering company as a business, you wind up with no business at all

exanime ,

There’s nothing inherent to running a business that implies cannibalizing one’s own brand reputation for short term profits

True but only for a snapshot in time. When the expectation of the environment is unlimited growth and profit above all else, the quick cash out in lieu of long term gains is inevitable sooner or later

You can find countless examples of businesses where the brand’s reputation for quality, reliability, and safety are considered sacred and any employee who publicly damages that reputation is ostracized. Japanese companies pretty commonly have these cultures, for example.

Oh outside of the USA yes, I can see that... In the USA, I think I would count such examples with 1 hand (talking about large companies and corporations, not Mom and Pop shops of course)

Batman has been dark and broody decades before the Nolan trilogy.

There have been lighter versions but dark and broody are basically core qualities of the character

exanime ,

Yeah no. I think you're confused because Batman Begins came out in 2005 which was decades ago.

I'm talking about Batman the character, you know? The one first published in 1939. There have been multiple versions but "dark and broody" has been a pretty common trait

If you forgot he's actually also known as Bruce Wayne and he knows how to smile and have a good time

No, it's been well established he cannot get past the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him. Actually, it has been well established he is now Batman and Bruce is the disguise... So no, he doesn't really know how to have a good time

Post Nolan he is has lost a lot of complexity. That complexity of the character offset his serious side when the cowl came on.

Not really Nolan's fault and not what you claimed first either. Batfleck for example was not dark and broody, he was just a fumbling idiot who claimed his superpower was money

Look me dead in the eye and tell me Nolan's Batman is better than BTAS. Or is even in the same ballpark

Again moving the goal post ... What does BTAS have to do with your comment that Nolan made Batman dark and broody??

exanime ,

So you just like the new lazy writing. Got it.

No idea where you are drawing this from

Because I know you didn't just draw a straight line from the 1939 Batman to the current Batman and was like 'these are the same!'

Oh I see, you lack reading comprehension. To make it extra clear, having a common trait (what I actually said) does not mean "these are the same"

And this is where we part ways. Cuz this is a threat about opinions I gave mine and you are clearly mad that I don't like your favorite version of Batman.

I'm not mad at all... Disagreeing with you does not make me your enemy... You care confusing me with yourself lol

exanime ,

I mean, the USA has a Supreme Court Justice literally taking bribes from a billionaire who has stakes in FOUR cases this judge has not recused himself.... and literally NOTHING has happened.

Do you really think this recording will do anything?

exanime ,

Totally fair... And honestly good practice, otherwise it just becomes "normal"

exanime ,

Republicans have a shitty pre-election plan in the run up to every election.

This understatement is right up there with the 'Tis but a scratch scene from Monty Python

exanime ,

They want to prove to themselves that their vote still matters.

Voting ultra right because of this is like trying to prove life is worth living by eating a bullet

exanime , (edited )

2008, the global financial crash, the subsequent shift of trillions of all the currencies towards the already-rich, then Covid hammering the final nail in the coffin of proving that governments care about the people only inasmuch as they provide value.

I get the frustration, but where is the evidence the far right would care an iota more about people? Specially during covid almost every far right government did worse, in terms of actual dead people, than any left one

exanime ,

Donna??

exanime ,

Spending too much time on lemmy

exanime ,

So another tax payer handout to Musk?

Man, he is THE welfare Queen

exanime ,

DO NOT actively try to help anyone who is not sincerely asking for help

A small amount of selfishness is necessary for a healthy life

exanime ,

I don't get why would that be disappointing?

exanime ,

How is it orchestrated? What you see is what nature did. The water can be controlled somewhat because of engineering but it doesn't change the features of the fall as nature made it

I'm not arguing against you, just not getting your perspective (which I'm just trying to understand)

exanime ,

I mean, they put lights on with colours at night... And there is a whole boulevard built around them so you can see them better

Would you call that orchestrated?

exanime ,

Ok, I think I get your point now!

Cheers!

exanime ,

I wonder if they returned the $40K

exanime ,

Ebola can only be transmitted by blood... Other body fluids may cause transmission for a person only if they are already showing symptoms... I'm pretty sure doctors who specifically flew abroad to help with this disease would know this ... Quarantining them would likely do nothing

Arguing against a panicked Karen rule which would only hurt the few people actually helping fight this disease sounds like the right thing to do

Fauci is far from perfect but you are basically making the same hysterical claims MTG is doing, albeit without spitting as much, pretending the guy carrying a lighter in his pocket is as much at fault as the idiots in charge (Trump and co at the time) who completely fumbled the response to the worst pandemic in a century... Showing once again, Murica is a functionally a third would country with money

exanime ,

Even if the likelihood was low, the enormous harm that could have been caused by Ebola spreading to the US outweighs a mere inconvenience for a small number of people.

By this logic and threshold, the only logical solution would be to isolate entirely... No more flights, no more imports. The current risk of all that traffic is way higher than the risk you are clutching pearls about now

I fully expect every word that comes out of any president's mouth to be a lie, but I used to trust the CDC, and now I can't.

Ok, good luck with that ...

America: "it's fine when corporations move manufacturing to China and sell back home for a huge profit... But it's not okay for China to sell their manufactured goods in the USA"

exanime ,

Cynical me says no jail time.... We'd be lucky to see house arrest

There is a non-zero chance he will get nothing... Something like a suspended sentence which means he can be called a convicted felon but would suffer no consequences

exanime ,

Because <checks notes> money, the answer is money

exanime ,

But then why buy the ticket at all? How are foreign agents going to get your credit card purchase? Just leaving the car in the airport should be enough

I expect you probably missed that the question denotes foreign agents so no worries.

You are right on that, I read "agents" and missed the foreign part
