That tends to happen when you gatekeep education based on your parents income.

Atomic ,

Where are you getting this 70% number from? Did they do a national vote on the topic? Or maybe it’s just a pulling number you read somewhere and now parrot without source.

Hardly a nail in any coffin. This is exactly how representative democracy works. You vote for someone to represent you in the government. Those someone’s collaborate to the best of their ability to make policies and decisions. Don’t like their policies and decisions. Vote for someone else.

Atomic ,

Yes. Definatly. Not necessarily because of the world going one way or another but because our global population is rapidly increasing. 1 decade is enough to increase the global population by 1 billion people.

Atomic ,

2 and 3 easy.

Free gravel for life. So I have an endless supply of product I can sell for profit? Yes please.

And I see no time-limit on the teleportation. 7 inches at a time. Sure. But what stops me from instantly teleporting another 7 inches? And who says I can only do it horizontally. Pretty much giving me the ability to fly here. I’ll take it.

Atomic ,

I disagree with your teleportation assessment. Just as I don’t think my momentum would be conserved, you think it is. You have no more reason to believe it would than I have to believe it wouldn’t. Because there’s no foundation for teleportation as it doesn’t exist.

I’m not sure what logic you want to use with something that is made up. But im gonna go ahead and assume my teleportation will work on my rules since no rules were ever specified.

You can feel free to use whatever made up rules you want for your own magical power.

Not when it’s smashed to pieces, scattered all over a landfill

Atomic ,

I agree. Here in Sweden we’ve had a huge surge in online casino ads on TV for the last 5 years. Maybe even more. Super annoying. Everyone hates them. But not much is done despite that.

Atomic ,

US homicide rates in 2020 were still not good… You’re rapidly heading back down to that level. Which is a good negative trend. But it’s still high. Really high.

Atomic ,

It’s still really high compared to the global average. Why is that so difficult to accept?

Atomic ,

Context matters.

They’re not going after him BECAUSE he is an opponent.

They’re going after him because he committed crimes.

Being a political opponent does not grant you diplomatic immunity.

Don’t feel sorry for others, feel sorry for yourself.

Samsung S10 has Audio jack and SD slot.

Atomic ,

I’m curious. Put yourself in Israel’s shoes. You’ve been massively attacked by Hamas from Gaza.

What would you do next? How would you approach this war?

How would you defend yourself to make sure this never happens again.

Atomic ,

I mean… pretty expected. Funny how so many seems to think Palestine = Gaza.

Yes, Gaza is part of Palestine. But there is more to palestine than just Gaza. Israel is not at war with Palestine (officially). They’re at war with Hamas. Which have been governing Gaza kind of like a city state for quite some time now.

Also, regardless of what you think about the situation. I think you’d have to be pretty optimistic, if you don’t think this will end with Gaza being reduced to rubble.

Atomic ,

They’re not colonizing Palestine. They’re eradicating it.

And this has been going on for almost 80 years. Anything anyone does, is always, in response to some shitty thing someone did before. But fact of the matter is, Israel benefits more than Palistine to have a conflict. So much that the time when it actually looked like someone could talk both sides to a peaceful conclusion. Israel had him assassinated.

Atomic ,

Look. I get that you heard that word somewhere. But everything isn’t colonizing.

Annexing would be a better description to what they’re doing.

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

Atomic , (edited )

Apple don’t want it because it removes part of their marketing strategy. (Being, if your friends have Apple, you also need apple)

Apple Users don’t know what it is.

You say you don’t know what it is or does. Yet you say you’d love to have it. That’s quite contradictory don’t you think?

And it WOULD impact their experience.

It amazes me that people like you, who don’t actually know or understand the topic, can be so vocal about your opinions and conclusions. About something you don’t know.

It’s the USB-C standard all over… “Apple and majority of their users don’t care”. And that’s still not what it’s about. It’s about setting a standard so we don’t need 9 different cables and 7 different apps, just to send a God damn picture or video.

Edit: I misread the comment. I take back what I said that’s striked over. My bad. Sorry.

Atomic ,

My bad. I completely read that wrong. Could have sworn I saw a “not” in there.

Atomic ,

Reading the comments, smiling at the fact that so much people complaining about is already illegal here and not a problem.

Personally. I’d make it illegal to start small talk about the fucking weather. I can see that’s raining too. Yes that is annoying. Haha, no I won’t put shampoo in my hair on my way home. I don’t know when it will stop. Do I look like a meteorologist?

Atomic ,

They’ll be executed because they’re not Muslim. And if they are Muslim. They’ll be executed anyway because they’re the wrong type of Muslim.

Atomic OP ,

Elden Ring, Tears of The Kingdom, Baldurs Gate 3 comes to mind.

Fighting ISIS among other things.

Atomic ,

Killing as many Kurds as possible. Among other things.

Atomic ,

I would highly recommend not fucking with people. It may sound fun, you may think they deserve it. But it’s not going to be equally fun when they return to throw a rock through you window.

These are not normal people. Normal people don’t steal packages from strangers. You don’t know what other instability they have. And you probably don’t want to find out either.

It’s just not worth it.

Atomic ,

And when is dark, and no one can be identified on the video. Then what? Congratulations on somehow “standing up to bullies”. Sure showed them who’s the boss with your broken window.

Atomic ,

And when they wear masks and hoodies to prevent being identified?

Atomic ,

And where does teens get the idea to smoke from? Is it from grandpa that coughs louder than a jet engine? Or is it the older cooler teens who got the idea from older teens, who got the…

You get the point.

I smoked as a teen because some of my friends did, they smoked because some of their friends did. And you don’t have to look very far to find the 18-20 year olds who provided them.

Luckily, I never smoked much and mostly kept it to social smoking which made it very easy for me to quit once I grew up and developed some brain-cells that enjoyed co-operating with eachother.

TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 — and it's the 'tip of the iceberg' (www.businessinsider.com)

TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 — and it’s the ‘tip of the iceberg’::As AI spreads, it brings new challenges for influencers like MrBeast and platforms like TikTok aiming to police unauthorized advertising.

Atomic ,

Are you seriously comparing alcohol. To people stealing someone’s likeness to commit fraud?

Atomic ,

If you can prove it. Which takes time and money. It would be far better to update laws to keep up with our tines and put a stop to it before it begins.

What’s being done to Mr Beast, and also Tom Hanks. Is nothing short of Identify theft.

Atomic ,

It’s a very US-centric view because their states seemingly doesn’t enforce rules and regulations while also not having rent control. Creating a situation where landlords can demand pretty much whatever they want in a housing crisis while also not spending their revenue on actually maintaining the apartments they rent out.

The complaint is fair. For them.

Atomic ,

5000 notifications per day? That’s over 3 notifications per minute.

Are they opting in to get a notification every time someone in a thousand+ member discord server posts anything at all?

Atomic ,

If they can send you, your own password in plain text. That’s already bad enough. Just not good practise.

Atomic ,

Racism doesn’t require it to be systematic. The moment you dismiss someone based on their race and/or ethnicity it becomes racism. By definition.

Anyone can be racist. Anyone can experience racism. Just because it affects some more than others, doesn’t make it less racist.

The ethnicity of Europeans isn’t as easy as just. White, black and brown. You have white people being racist against other white people. Because they belong to a different white ethnicity than someone else. Racism isn’t limited.

Racism isn’t a fucking competition. Racism is racism.

Atomic ,

Because they’ve idolized Russia for so long that to now admitt that they’re doing bad things is seen as a personal loss.

And some just genuinly believe the propaganda being fed to them. It’s very difficult to admit you were fooled and led to believe things that wasn’t true. It’s far easier to double down and confine yourself to an echo chamber where they can all agree that it’s somehow because NATO or US sponsored the Ukrainian uprising and rigged the Ukrainian election.

So when you think about it, they’re the good guys trying to restore order to Ukraine.

So… if someone is on the fringe. Don’t insult them. Dont belittle them. Welcome them, and congratulate their strength to say “I was wrong” without making them feel bad for doing it. Not directing that to you, just a statement in general.

Atomic ,

Bad article that makes it difficult to find the study they’re citing.

However. It would not surprise me if true. I’m sorry but so many of you GenZ are the most gullible people I’ve even seen.

Maybe we millenials are good at not being scammed because we grew up during the infancy of the internet. Our mistakes were not punished as severely. There was no widespread PayPal, cashapp, venmo or stuff like that. At worst we’d lose items in WoW that wouldnt matter in 6 months anyway because the new expanaion would come. These days a kid will lose his knife in CSGO somehow valued at $600.

Still makes me sad to see that MLM scams are thriving within all generations. Just heartbreaking.

Atomic ,

It’s over the top outrage to somehow try to deflect from that they probably did assassinate someone in Canada.

It’s so obvious they’re trying to sway and pressure Canada to drop this and not investigate it.

Atomic ,

I like how OPs response to your comment was nothing but sarcasm. You didn’t insult, you didn’t belittle. Just a very straight up explanation arguing your point that Russia made their own bed and now have to sleep in it.

I suppose that was too much reason for them to handle.

They claim orgs from 33 countries have signed up. Would be interesting to see which ones. If even true.

Atomic ,

So, the organizers email is listen on their page as

contact[at]internationalpeaceconference.info

I guess that’s: [email protected]

Would be a shame if their email was signed up on a bunch of shady porn sites.

Their website also looks like it was made in 2005…

Atomic ,

I’m born 94. I remember mowing lawns of the neighborhood and selling all of my pokemon cards in 2006 because my parents explain to me we were struggling. They didn’t ask me to do it. I did it on my own. Because I wanted to help.

I didn’t need to be and adult to experience an economic crisis. And it didn’t exactly stop in 2007 either now did it?

I remember 2001 as well. It was a very big deal.

Y2k was nothing. Or so I was told when I asked what the fuzz is about. Since some people acted like the Mayan calendar was coming to an end.

So I don’t see why you feel like you need to gatekeep who did and didn’t “genuinly” experience certain events. Those who knows, knows. Isn’t that enough?

Atomic ,

You say they are different. That’s true. But that doesn’t make it any less genuine or felt.

I may have been 12 when the economy turned sour in 2006. But so what? I can Guarantee you, I felt that just as much as anyone else.

Good for you that you were insulated from protests and strikes. I cant say I was insulated from an economy that collapsed. I didn’t lose a job. Because I didn’t have one. But that doesn’t really seem to matter at all when I was affected by it just like everyone else.

I didn’t lose a job. But I had to eat oatmeal 3 times a day. I chose to sell my stuff and do extra work to provide some extra money to my household. Because times were rough. So tell me again how me being a kid matters?

Atomic ,

No. That is not what I’m arguing. Would you like to read my comment again and apply more than a kindergarten level of reading comprehension?

Atomic ,

Wait… does anyone (Except those who paint eyebrows) actually think painted eyebrows look good? I’ve never met anyone who thinks it looks good on women.

Atomic ,

No. I do not walk up to random people and ask them personal questions out of nowhere. I just always assume that if they didn’t think it looked good, they wouldn’t do it.

Atomic ,

If your steam client is slow. Try disabling hardware acceleration. Worked wonders for me. Steam went from being slow to super responsive.

Diablo 2 was like 3 different discs. One for every 2 acts i believe.

Atomic ,

Only for noobs who didn’t rip the CD to an ISO and used that with a mounter 😎

Atomic ,

you’ll see that majority of the users still prefer wired.

Do I now? Because whenever I’m outside. I see people with wireless earbuds. I see wireless headphones. But you know what I almost never see? Wired headphones.

The fact that lithium-ion batteries aren’t good after 3 years is well established, there are many articles on this from reputed sources. It’s not something I made up.

The fact my jabras have more than enough battery for that to not be noticeable after 7 years makes it irrelevant.

And yes, you citing apple IS irrelevant because you’re doing it as a response to my success with Jabra earbuds. You’re using them as some kind of argument against why me having good products that are working well doesn’t actually matter.

With your logic. Wired headphones suck because the 30 dollar pair I bought once were really bad. So therefore they’re all bad, and any good wired headphone you can mention. Is just an outliner that doesn’t reflect wired headphones as a whole. Because the majority of wired headphones are cheap garbage.

I’m sorry, that I have really good Bluetooth wireless headphones and earbuds. It must truly shatter your world since you try to put so much effort into discrediting me for telling you they exist.

If you want good wireless products, that doesn’t have the problems you’ve mentioned. They exist. You can buy them.

If you want earbuds that last for more than 3 years. Don’t buy apple.

I know your argument are shit, Because I’m sitting on the actual evidence and proof that your descriptions are not accurate. I’m telling you they work. And your response is “but these other things didn’t work!” So? Don’t get those other things then.

There are millions of bad wired headphones. But I assume, you don’t buy those. You buy the good ones. Apply the same logic to wireless. And you won’t have the problems mentioned.

Please wash off your makeup. White and red is not a good look on anyone.

Hot take: Users without a profile pick are mildlyinfuriating (upload.wikimedia.org)

For real. I can never understand why some of ye don’t have a cool pfp. You could even get some cool background art on your profile as well. Really jazz it up, ya know. But I swear 90% instead opt for the default lemmy logo. How uncreative and boring. I can’t even tell most of you people apart.

Atomic ,

Maybe we just don’t care about a profile picture. Are you here to look at my picture or discuss topics?

If I wanted “jazz it up” I’d be hanging out on MySpace.
