Four dogmen?
Horsedogs?

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Until we get data to the contrary, we must assume they are

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

I’m judging you, not because you chose the Holocene, but for how easy it was to get people without interesting opinions to identify themselves 😏

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

I was asking for extinction events, aka mass extinctions.
But this is still very interesting! Thanks for sharing it with me

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

That’s the Holocene, and I’m judging you.

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

I’m judging you, as I said I would

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

That’s my fav too.
“The Oxygen Catastrophy” is just such a cool name.

  • Also some upstart bacteria just start pumping out poison that kills almost everything (oxygen)
  • Causes the ocean to rust
  • Causes the atmosphere to catch on fire
  • then causes the earth to turn to a snowball

Fuckin metal

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

I like it!
I kind of feel like “locomotive” itself is a niche so this is more like a collapse of a niche rather than a mass extinction, but I love the analogies

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

Very cool!

It reminds me of my fav, The Oxygen Catastrophy, where basically a plant did something new and caused the earth to freeze. In this case, by converting methane to carbon dioxide, a much weaker greenhouse gas.

PeriodicallyPedantic OP ,

Yeah I knew they weren’t plants but it made the analogy easier to pretend they were 😅
They have plant-ey vibes

They were all like “let’s get the Calvin cycle up in this house, lets light it up!” And so they did, and the atmosphere caught fire

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Ok I think I’ve got it.

Jesus is like Voltron, the 3 dudes in the middle combine to form him.
And the 2 on the ends are the spiritual equivalent of two men each, which is why all the parts of Jesus are hanging out with them.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Of shit what if it’s like Captain planet, and if they all stand up at the same time it’ll summon Jesus?
They’re not allowed standing because they don’t want to trigger the rapture!

I think the rapture happened a decade ago and this is hell

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I’m still trying to understand why Hezbollah people were like

Thank you for this pager, stranger, I’ll use this without question for the next few months, and certainly not give it away or sell it or take it apart.

And why anyone thought that it’d go that way.

I’ll need to read more about it, maybe this is explained, but it seems like such a long shot

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

But like… A communication device seems like THE most suspicious equipment you can get. I’m shocked nobody verified, and I’m shocked that they had the audacity to even attempt.

Wrt giving/selling the pagers, well, I’ll have to read more to find out if that happened. It wouldn’t surprise me but also I imagine it’d be hard to find out.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

That’s a good point.

And from everything we see it really seems like the IDF really doesn’t gaf about collateral damage either, so they probably didn’t care that they’d give any of these away to other people.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I wanted some of their side projects. Their web-things iot automation controller (and related standards) was pretty sweet. Until they spun it off into its own company without any staff.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Activity pub
… Activists?

Fediverse
… Versus?

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I mean, standard marching orders for capitalism/imperialism are:

if someone else has it, take it from them. Weapons free.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Lol yeah
But also let people like stuff. Don’t be a snooty ass about it.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Murca has invented these little devices that trick the machine so you don’t have to put in a quarter.

They’ll do anything to avoid being decent lol

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Goodharts law in action

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

You can typically tell when someone is in the kind of rush that’d excuse being a jerk to others

PeriodicallyPedantic , (edited )

I never considered the counter argument: Americans are too stupid to operate shopping carts 😱

Apparently there is some validity to that.
But assuming basic human competency that the rest of the world casually exhibits, successfully putting your shopping cart back is a mark of common decency and failure to do so is either a moral failing or a sign that the person should absolutely NOT be allowed to operate a vehicle

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

I feel like this was chosen specifically because it’s one of those cases where it’s easy to tell.

For instance, there was a Walmart next to a bus stop I used to take. People had to take their groceries to the bus, but Walmart didn’t put a shopping cart corral within like 200 meters of it. I don’t really blame people too harshly for leaving their carts there, if they’re taking a big load of groceries on the bus.

Fwiw it’s not that it’s a social norm that is important, it’s it’s natural as a social good, and it’s nature as something (typically) trivial to do.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

It’s absolutely a good.

The only “cart returner” I saw against it basically just claimed that the people in their town/state/country were too incompetent to operate shopping carts (even if that’s not what they explicitly said) so idk if i really trust them or want to use that as a measure.

Making work for others to save yourself some trivial amount of work absolutely says something about your character

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Let me put it another way:
They fail the vibe check
It’s a red flag

Bad vibes and red flags don’t mean for sure someone is a bad person, they’re a call to be alert and suspicious.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

For complete strangers who you never see again, it doesn’t matter if you judge them or not, you’ll never see them again.

It’s useful on aggregate to tell the general attitude of an area to set expectations for interacting with strangers.

But mostly what people are talking about is when you’re getting to know someone. If you find out an acquaintance or romantic prospect does/doesn’t then it’s one (of many) indicators you can gather to build a model of them.

Remember, this isn’t deep. This is intentionally super simple. There is no “struggle” involved that wouldn’t be immediately apparent. There is very little room for nuance because there is very little to be nuanced about.

This is “given the chance, will this person spend a trivial amount of effort to make someone’s life easier, if there is no personal gain?”

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Unfortunately this does not financially benefit the tv manufacturers, and may land them in trouble with the platforms they themselves advertise on (like Google).

They’re more likely to use AI to serve you more ads as an extra revenue stream; capitalism has gotta capital.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Like this? 😱

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

That’s a wild interpretation of what they said.

Dude described a branding problem, not a technical problem.

Anarchocommunism babYYYY 😎

Unless “gone in” is short for “gone into”, which is common - in which case

Thrilling ass noises

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Please please please in my ass.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

For a minute I mixed this up with Marry Ellen Carter by Stan Rogers

May your ass not be lost to the knowledge of men

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

That’s a stretch, but even assuming it’s true, why do you care enough about their community to frown upon it?

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

They’re leaving.
Y’all are making fun of them for leaving.

If you want them to leave, as people often told them to do, why are you making fun of them for it? Why do you care where they go?

If you don’t want them to leave, why are you being mean to them?

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

The detail/degree matters.
Its crazy to prefer the speedy arsonist, or to leave the decision up to other arsonists, when you and your family are in the house

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

But you’re waving while standing inside the burning house where they can’t see you. Your protest just makes it more likely that the speedy arsonist gets the chance, and does nothing to harm either of the arsonists.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Your priorities just make no sense to me.

Yes both parties are bad, but voting for one is voting for more opportunities to save yourself.
The decision to prioritize giving them the middle finger where nobody can see it over helping yourself is something I can’t get my head around. Your resistance does nothing but help the speedy arsonist.

It feels like you’re just listing off talking points to score cool points with a bunch of Lemmy edgelords.

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Your lack of self awareness is absolutely astounding because not only did everything you say apply to you, but in fact you somehow missed that I already did it.

You complain about how you could just write the same response again because I “didn’t understand it” in a post where I literally had to rephrase my same point again because you didn’t understand it

You say “2 fucking things can be true at once” as though voting to slow the disaster prevents you from doing any of the other things you said I should be doing.

Fuckin learn the concept of critical support you absolute waste of space. You sit on your high horse like some fucking internet edgelord pretending because YOU didn’t vote for the bad person, that nothing the bad person did was your fault.

Never mind reading what I wrote, read what you wrote as though as though someone else sent it to you. 🤯

PeriodicallyPedantic ,

Oh I totally agree.

But voting liberal (eg Dems in the USA) gives us more time to find a solution. It’s not the solution, it’s just a stalling tactic. Even when they’re trying to block opportunities, it still results in relatively more opportunities than otherwise. I think there is value in that.

There are times when spoiling a ballot or even voting the other way is good, it sends a message which may (unlikely) cause a shakeup. But to simply never participate just accelerates the destruction.

PeriodicallyPedantic , (edited )

the first thing you do is get a rag

Was because you were downplaying the importance of the rag. The rag is more important than the water is. If you’re cleaning a mess, and your choice is between water and rag, you choose the rag.

How commonly do bidet users scrub with both TP and water in a single sitting? The internet and this comment section suggests it’s pretty rare.

People are choosing between bidet (water) and tp (rag), and in your analogy, you’re saying the sensible choice is to wash something with only water and no rag. Your analogy only holds water (lol) if you don’t actually think about it.

Is that clear enough for you?
