    YoBuckStopsHere , in A ‘failure to launch’: Why young people are having less sex
    @YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world avatar

    Being Gen X, I’m not surprised that less sex is going on than my generation. We were left unsupervised, and we didn’t have cellphones so we could disappear with our partners pretty easily. Today that isn’t the case anymore.

    betterdeadthanreddit , in Child from Honduras is one of two people dead on or near Texas’ anti-migrant border buoys

    Almost like adding unsupervised obstacles to a dangerous environment contributes to harmful outcomes. Somebody should get paid to write up an article on the subject for the Journal of Foreseeable Consequences.

    If I booby-trap my home and somebody gets killed trying to break in, I (rightfully) go to prison for murder. If a politician booby-traps a border (with exceptions for situations involving war) and somebody gets killed trying to cross, they should end up behind bars too.

    Uprise42 ,

    The issue with that argument is that people supporting this believe they are fully allowed to booby-trap their house.

    betterdeadthanreddit ,

    Luckily, ignorance of the law does not insulate those individuals from consequences if they act on their incorrect beliefs. Just wish we’d apply the same line of thinking without regard for the perpetrator’s level of political influence.

    My first guess was something like a brain tumor making him hear voices and changing his behavior, but:

    two other suitcases were found, also with human remains, nearby along the intracoastal

    and

    police searched the apartment where they found evidence of a grisly crime: blood spatter throughout the home, cleaning products with blood on it, drag marks and a large amount of blood in the living room, dining room and master bathroom

    I’m no criminal psychologist, but that doesn’t seem like the behavior of someone mentally unsound (well, aside from the serial killing, anyway).

    I would be very surprised if Abbott did even that. Or anyone who voted for him, honestly. If they say it's unfortunate they acknowledge it was an unintended outcome of putting those buoys and razor wire in there. Meaning, it's an outcome of something they did. They'll just say, "well they shouldn't have been there" and move on to the next person to hate.

    People claim Lemmy is better because downvotes mean nothing, but that also encourages this shitty behavior.

    Someone implying a person should die without trial for violating border laws in peacetime is what encourages this kind of behavior.

    That’s a very valid point, everyone could just not reply to monstrous statements.

    I wonder what would happen if people who either want to get a rush from transgression or genuinely hold hideous views were never chastised?

    daq ,

    Imagine if the judge reading a list of charges on you followed up each one with “you dumb fuck”.

    What you’re saying makes no sense.

    All I said is keep personal insults to yourself. You know nothing about the people you communicate with on Lemmy. You have zero insight into their life, their experiences, their education or anything that would give you the right to insult them personally.

    Just state your opinion and stfu. Full stop. If you’re unable to keep personal insults to yourself, don’t comment. It’s very simple.

    bloodfart ,

    Judges do that kind of thing all the time. They literally comment on the proceedings and people in the vernacular in addition to using their position of power to influence the outcome.

    I know enough about the people writing stuff on the internet to break the usual social rules of decorum: some of them say vile, reprehensible, hateful, inhuman drivel and that is enough to insult them.

    What are you really saying here? Are you truly suggesting that when someone implies “hey, this little kids tragic death is acceptable because they were in violation of a law” it’s wrong to tell them that they’re a monster?

    Thekingoflorda ,
    @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world avatar

    The proper way to deal with someone you dissagree with is, downvote, respond without a personal attack (doesn’t help your point in any way) and block if you really hate them.

    This has nothing to do with the content in the discussion. We want this place to be a forum for discussion where everyone is treated with respect, this doesn’t work if we let people who we agree with do whatever they want.

    bloodfart ,

    Heard that. Imma bow out of this thread.

    I wish you a fruitful future of civil disagreement with people who think it appropriate that violators of civil tort be murdered without trial.

    @RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

    If you have some sort of mental processing issue which precludes your ability to understand what context is, you’re excused somewhat.

    This was someone’s kid, just like you. If nobody points out how horrible these sentiments are, where will we end up? “They were a criminal” isn’t relevant to what sounds like an excuse for justifying their death.

    I edited this to be less vitriolic, I originally asked you to choke on a book, but let’s try the civil route.

    daq ,

    You just can’t make a comment without personal attack, can you?

    Please give me context in which judge hands out sentence for even the most vicious of crimes and follows it up with personal attacks.

    I understand online forum isn’t a court room, but there’s zero reason for insults in either case.

    How is the literal child a criminal when they had zero say in anything that happened to them? What’s wrong with you people? Honestly? A child died needlessly, someone calls them a criminal and says they deserved it, and your entire contribution is to tell people not to be mean to the guy calling a dead kid a criminal and saying they deserved to be punished? How did you get so utterly disconnected from any form of empathy or even just rationality?

    Why would it be otherwise

    duckington ,

    So does an illegal border crossing seem to be a crime on the same level as the death penalty is a punishment?

    So then you think a dead kid is an acceptable punishment to trying to enter the US? A kid that had no say whatsoever in being there? The kid wasn’t a criminal they were a victim. Period.

    Heated seats you have to pay to unlock (but regardless have to pay to haul around) is the most late stage capitalist brainworm bullshit.

    It should be illegal, and/or it should NOT be illegal to hack around the paywall if you purchase the car.

    Sketchpad01 ,

    Wouldn’t it not be illegal to hack it? Since you own the hardware?

    InverseParallax ,

    You can hack the hardware but you can’t hack the software if they tried to stop you.

    The dmca is a disaster.

    Chriskmee ,

    If you own a computer it doesn’t mean you have full control over the software on it. It’s not legal to download a trial version of Microsoft office then hack it to remove the trial timer and turn it into the full product that costs money.

    kewjo ,

    imo its a bit different as they are using physical resources and then artificially limiting access. a better comparison would be getting a motherboard and having to pay extra to use some of the usb ports.

    I think eventually there should be laws against wasting physical resources for monetary gain. if they want two models, make it such that they either don’t meet manufacturing requirements and are hard disabled (similar to cpu yield) or produce one with and one without.

    Chriskmee ,

    There will always be some hardware waste, like even if your car doesn’t have fog lights, but the trim levels up from yours do, you probably still have all the wiring needed for the fog lights there. It’s easier to make one wire bundle than one for every config.

    When it comes to stuff like heated seats I agree it seems like quite a waste and they should either just be included or not installed.

    With Tesla specifically, I think this rear heated seat thing came about from when they wanted to reduce the sale price of the cheapest model 3 so that it was eligible for a federal rebate. They did this by software locking features that you could later pay to unlock. Besides the heated seats, they also locked the battery capacity, and maybe another thing or two. For that one rebate is probably not worth making a physically new model.

    Selling the same thing which differs in price and whether the same functionality is locked is something universally dishonest for everybody who is not in love with the organization doing this.

    winterayars ,

    It’s fucking wasteful. A sign of absolutely deranged capitalism.

    reverendsteveii ,

    You hype to never own anything again? Corporations have realized that they’re essentially immortal and that the more stuff they have for rent, the less likely it is they’ll ever have to sell any of it. I wish I could stick around for three or four more generations because I’ll bet that eventually not only will regular people just never expect to own a home, but they’ll all be so marketed-to by the landlords that it’ll be considered common sense that buying a home is a bad idea.

    rdrunner , in Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 92,000 vehicles and tell owners to park them outside due to fire risk

    I once saw someone refer to Kia and Hyundai as the “fast fashion” of the auto industry. Now I can’t help but look at them and see h&m. It looks trendy, and it’s great for one or two wears, and then it falls apart

    glimse ,

    I’ve had 3 Hyundais and they were all great for years. Never had any problems with them and figured it’d be my go-to affordable car.

    But then my car got stolen (and recovered) because of their cost-cutting bullshit and they’ve been fuckin awful to deal with. It was at the dealership for 5+ weeks and on the day I was supposed to pick it up, they broke a part and wanted me to pay more to fix it. Then, because I was an idiot who didn’t test it before paying, I found out that my remote start now sets off my alarm. And they told me it’s not their problem.

    So yeah, fuck Hyundai.

    extant ,

    I bought a Sonata years ago and it ran great for a few years then it just started dying, burning oil with blue smoke when I start the car, really sluggish acceleration, and if I turn eco mode on the car basically has a stroke and sounds like it’s going to explode if I try and get on a highway.

    I took it in and they told me there’s nothing wrong with it quite literally while a blue cloud of smoke shot out the exhaust when they were telling me it’s fine. They refuse to acknowledge anythings wrong.

    Had to get a part replaced which meant they had to remove the dashboard to do it, realize after I leave when I go to get gas that the gas cap won’t open nor the trunk. So I assume they forgot to plug back in those buttons (they are on the same wiring harness), they tell me it was the fuse and it’s either $75 to replace the fuse or $150 to diagnose it. It was working fine before they had it and I have no aftermarket mods, have never touched the wiring, and never touched the battery, but they just did so it makes sense that within this short period of time the cause of the fuse is from their work. It’s not something that I can prove but it’s the most logical reason and fuses are dirt cheap but nope, they not just denied it they then tried to gaslight me.

    First he said it was an old fuse and that’s why it went, I’m not electrical engineer and fuses can corrode this one was clean and fuses don’t just go bad they have too high a voltage traveling and they melt that’s their purpose. So after that explanation the guy told me that they never had to touch the dashboard so it couldn’t be them and goes into this very detailed technical explanation of how they can do what they needed to do (replace the steering wheel coupler). I told him I watched a YouTube video from their official techs showing how the part is replaced and the entire steering wheel column has to be dropped out and/or removed to replace it, one of their techs happens by and we ask him and he confirms what I said. So now the goal post moves again and he tells me that they did have to remove the dashboard and interact with those systems but by simply pushing the button in the manner the system is designed for the system will short out. I point out that sounds like a design flaw and should be covered under the warranty, they told me it’s not.

    I was literally thinking of buying a new car to get Android auto as my sonata was prior to that addition, but when their own techs use the argument that their cars are garbage so they shouldn’t be responsible there’s no way I’d buy Hyundai again so now I’m waiting on availability to buy a new Toyota. So yeah, really fuck Hyundai and Hyundai of Trenton especially.

    Trenton

    I think I found the problem. :-P

    extant ,

    You are not wrong.

    glimse ,

    How hilariously similar.

    The thing they refused to accept responsibility for breaking was the air bag spring. Where is the air bag spring? Under the steering wheel, exactly where they were working (everything was ripped out to steal it)

    I called my insurance guy up in a panic and he bitched them out. In his report he even said he expected the spring to be replaced…

    extant ,

    I’m glad you had your insurance company to back you up because it feels like their go-to policy is to gaslight and stonewall until you give up or they get tired and give in. It would be great if we could just cut out dealerships altogether.

    glimse ,

    Man my insurance guy was so great. I knew I’d like him when he called me because he was one of only TWO people who didn’t say “have a good day” at the end of the call. Bitch, my car got stolen and now it’s all fucked up. My day is NOT going to be good.

    jpreston2005 ,

    I mean, that sounds more like a shitty dealership problem?

    glimse ,

    Except for the whole thing where they removed a pretty crucial security feature which led to a MAJOR car theft trend causing a shortage of replacement parts. And that they didnt plan to do anything about it until the government stepped in.

    As for the remote start, it was installed at the dealership when I bought the car but no one will service it because it’s third party (they didn’t make Hyundai remote starts for my car when I bought it)

    Yeah the dealership sucked but Hyundai fumbled hard with the immobilizers and now there’s another significant recall a few months later. I’m off the Hyundai train.

    CapraObscura ,

    Except it doesn’t if you actually pay attention to reliability data that consistently puts them in the top ten of all manufacturers, sometimes higher depending on model.
