inclementimmigrant , in ‘There’s nothing American about promoting violence’: country star Jason Aldean criticised for anti-protest song

This racist asshole grew up in Macon Georgia, just another in a long line of racist, suburban posers.

stopthatgirl7 OP , (edited )
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

I read he was from Georgia and had another moment of, “man, why does my home state have to keep embarrassing me like this?”

Krinkles ,

Seriously. I’ve seen to many people that avoid nice areas because of stupid shit like this. Country music is dog shit but people hear you live in Georgia and assume you’re a good ol boy

Krinkles ,

Don’t assume everyone from the south is racist though, there are low life shit humans everywhere unfortunately

yata ,

Sure, but also don’t assume that the amount of racists are the same everywhere.

JackbyDev ,

They’re saying Macon is a suburb and not a rural small town.

Krinkles ,

Aw downvoted for reminding people that there are decent people on the planet. Reddit2.0 here we go

CeruleanRuin ,
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

He’s getting downvoted for misconstruing the intent of the original remark and jumping straight to the assumption of persecution, as are you. Assuming everyone is against you and whining about downvotes is possibly the most reddit thing ever.

Krinkles ,

I simply said that not all people are racist lolol

CeruleanRuin ,
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

And that was a non sequitur.

inclementimmigrant , (edited )

Down voted because you don’t have solid reading comprehension skills here and not because you you’re pointing out that non-racists exist in the south.

And getting upset and then whining about being the victim because you didn’t read the comment correctly, yeah, you’re definitely bringing some Reddit 2.0 vibes here with that.

Krinkles ,

The post I responded to mentioned a city in Georgia and a long line of racist in the family but some people in bad families do use their brains occasionally and make better decisions, but y’all keep down voting lol

He’s a supermarket cowboy.

Ooooh I have not heard this one before, I like it. I’ve used cowbro in the past but generally just go for bro-country. Gonna throw supermarket cowboy into the mix.

gressen , in Texas charges prisoners 50% more for water as heat wave continues

Prisoners are being charged for water?

samus12345 ,

Yes, because the tap water in their cells often isn’t fit to drink.

Rust in pipes is harmless. All it’ll do is maybe give you a bit more iron.

@samus12345 @astral_avocado

The article says that in some prisons there's a pronounced smell of sewage coming from the tap water.

Policeshootout ,

Could be lead/other heavy metals or asbestos which are both common in older plumbing. Oil could be possible as well as other bacterias simply due to poor treatment.

At this point, the Federal government should offer relocation services to anyone who wants it, and all who stay do so at their own risk. Republicans love bussing people out, so makes total sense, right guys?

Drusas , in Travis King: How the US negotiates with North Korea

He went there willingly.

I know, he was in the military and so he might know things North Korea wants to know, and therefore it's better to get him back before it's all tortured out of him.

But at the same time, he went there willingly.

SpeedLimit55 , in FCC chair: Speed standard of 25Mbps down, 3Mbps up isn’t good enough anymore

Thats good, 25/3 speed is fine for one person, not so much for a household.

Kerrigor ,
@Kerrigor@kbin.social avatar

Absolutely not. It depends more on what you're doing, rather than number of people, anyways. One person uploading a video is going to use 99% of the available upload bandwidth.

zikk_transport2 ,

One person uploading a video is going to use 99% of the available upload bandwidth.

CAKE and QoS: Bonjor

Kinglink ,

That’s a traffic shaping problem, not really on the person or service. Streaming would be a better example because that’s immediate and you care about uploading in a timely fashion and best quality, but if you limit your upload bandwidth you can manage it better…

But then again we’re talking about upload, in general, upload only matters in a few situations, latency will be more important, and download is always more noticeable than upload speeds.

Even doing making youtube videos the only reason you need instant fast video upload is if you’re trying to push drama videos, and even then, I’m probably fine with them being slightly limited by that. But ultimately uploading videos is only slightly inconvenient for modern broadband, if it’s that bad, look into how to limit how much bandwidth it takes up, there’s good ways.

Kerrigor ,
@Kerrigor@kbin.social avatar

It's literally entirely on the service provider... their upload limits are ridiculously bad.

Kinglink ,

It doesn’t matter what they are. That’s how TCP is designed to ramp up until it fills the pipe. Upload a large continuous file and you will fill the upload until it’s done.

That’s literally how the protocol works.

Kerrigor ,
@Kerrigor@kbin.social avatar

Yes. The point is how long it cripples a network, due to the extremely poor upload rates allowed by service providers, is unacceptable. I'm not sure what's confusing here. It should be barely noticable by other users because it should be FAST.

someguy3 ,

We have 30 down, can stream multiple devices. I think it’s the “up to” nonsense, actual 30 (not sure I even get that) seems ok.

vividspecter ,

It’s the upload that’s the problem. 30mbps down is passable; 3mbps up is absurdly slow.

someguy3 ,

I agree, works for one videocall not sure how many simultaneously.

acceptable_pumpkin ,

Not only that, but since it’s synchronous, if you’re uploading at nearly 3 Mbps, your download rate absolutely tanks.

hypelightfly ,

That's due to the shit queuing most ISPs implement. You can limit your bandwidth below your actual limit on your router and do your own queueing that prioritizes TCP acknowledgements and you won't destroy your connection when you hit max upload.

acceptable_pumpkin ,

Exactly. I had to implement QOS on my network otherwise my backups would kill my Internet connection. Now at least I can leave everything at 100% upload rate and let the network devices handle my traffic.

SpeedLimit55 ,

Yeah 30 down (or 25) can stream multiple HD feeds but only a single 4K feed.

MyOpinion , in Travis King: How the US negotiates with North Korea

What about personal responsibility? They chose to defect to North Korea. I don’t get this.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

It’s strange how they almost never follow the no-excessive-bail requirement and nobody bats an eye.

Chainweasel , in Woman found dead after grizzly bear encounter near Yellowstone National Park

Doesn’t that make 3 in the last 2 weeks? 1 mauled by a bear and 2 more attacked by buffalo? Maybe stay away from the wildlife at Yellowstone?

CherenkovBlue , (edited )
@CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Bison, not buffalo. Edit: note this happened outside of YNP actually.

It’s mating season for the bison. I’m kind of surprised about the grizzly, since bears are most aggressive during the spring. I hope more details come out.

Fun fact, there is a wilderness area on the southern border of Yellowstone NP called the Winegar Hole wilderness. It doesn’t have many trails. Never go there because it is prime bear mating territory!

ngdev ,

Bison, not buffalo

It’s mating season for the buffalo

CherenkovBlue ,
@CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Yeah my bad, I will edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out. It is bison. I didn’t have coffee when I wrote that comment.

ngdev ,

I honestly had gone through life thinking they were the same, so your comment had me googling and learning something new lol

Lux ,

Yes, technically Buffalo is incorrect, but it’s still used to refer to the animal. When someone says “buffalo in Yellowstone” it’s easy to infer that they mean bison. It’s like correcting someone for calling a fly a bug.

CherenkovBlue ,
@CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Well, I live in the area, and we always call them bison! Just spreading the word.

CeruleanRuin , (edited )
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

This isn’t a taxonomical discussion. As such, it is not necessary to ‘correct’ someone for using a widely accepted and common colloquialism.

CeruleanRuin ,
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

The hiker was believed to be alone during the encounter, and no bear spray or firearms were found at the scene.

In other words she wasn’t following even the most basic, simple guidelines for hiking in the woods, let alone in a national park known for its wildlife.

Visitors should be required to sit for a half hour “common sense” information video before entering the parks.

djsoren19 , in Florida’s Environmental Failure Is a Warning Sign for the U.S.

That sign won’t stop me, I can’t read!
