I hate when the far right says, “Who’s gonna pay for it?!” Referring to any program that would help the poor or needy… What would Jesus do? Asshole.

Speculater ,

Some states have “maximums” to pay for wrongful convictions as well, like tragically small payouts. I feel like if you steal years of someone’s life, they shouldn’t have to worry about another thing the rest of the life you didn’t steal.

Speculater ,

I love me some Evan Williams and diet Coke. I feel like it’s better calorically anyways…

Speculater ,

I see you got the cop training down, I bet she “reeks of marijuana and alcohol too.”

I see none in Firefox with ublock origin on my phone.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/caeedb8d-954c-4b76-9859-65cead63fb1c.png

I’ve had people say stuff about my android to the tune of, “If you’d just splurge on an iPhone you could do x.” Bro, my phone is as powerful as yours and I’m pretty sure you can’t escape your ecosystem even if you wanted to.

To be fair, it’s the only Zelda I never beat because of the Water Temple. I did the keys in the wrong order and apparently it’s solvable but after a week of trying 14-year-old me gave up and gave the game away.

Speculater ,

Lemmy mods love deleting shit that can easily be fixed, it’s a weird vestige of their time on Reddit.

Speculater ,

You taped a rotor to its back!

Cheeky journalist

Speculater ,

I’m a chili head and find the sweet spot between 200-500k scoville when you go much higher, it’s basically just to see if you can do it.

I think what bothered most men wasn’t that he was large, but that a woman would feel safer with any gay man that was with them.

Speculater ,

This might sound twisted, but something that helped me take more time to myself was when a guy who was “the only one who could answer certain questions” with something like 30 years of experience in our field dropped dead of a heart attack at home. We figured out what we needed to figure out soon enough and his position wasn’t filled for a year because five or six of us took up the tasks he was in charge of… My point being, no one is irreplaceable. Disconnect when you’re not at work.

Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god

So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of...

Little know trivia in the Book of Mormon, you get a chance to convert after death if you haven’t already!

Speculater ,

I know LDS members in my family think they traced their lineage from present day all the way to Adam and Eve, so whatever you put, wasn’t nearly as outlandish as you think, lol.

Speculater ,

Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.

Speculater ,

Everyone’s too deep to escape.

Speculater ,

This clears up nothing for me.

Speculater ,

I like the idea of playing with friends, but fuck me if people don’t take for-fucking-ever to do NOTHING! Click, skip, move!!! It’s the first four turns, FUCKING go!!!

Speculater ,

If we could get blue voters to vote with the same fervor as the insane right (who vote at if their very existence is at stake) there would never be a red president or Congress again.

Speculater ,

I strongly prefer 5 to 6, 6 always felt like it was designed to be played on a tablet.

Speculater ,

Subbed to them all, thanks for this outreach.

“You know, there’s good eating in them things.”

Not if the gap was filled with plaque, gottem!

Speculater ,

I only use Discord with a VPN on… I’ve never seen this message.

Speculater ,

P-hacker says what?

Speculater ,

Same here, but they tried to claim I called a Steam Deck a “Rice Burner” as a racist insult when I randomly chose “rice” as the title for this meme to fill the mandatory title block. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/401adc6d-b735-4496-96e1-cf688536068e.jpeg

Like, bro? Even if that was my intent, which it wasn’t even a term I had ever seen applied to a computer, it doesn’t make sense.

Speculater ,

Same here used to love Sam Harris and to some extent Joe Rogan, like 2016’ish. Then they got into that whole intellectual dark web nonsense and stayed political instead of trippy brain science and meditation stuff, they started talking about international politics and they are both fucking bigots. Really turned me off hearing Sam basically support the genocide of Palestine.

Speculater ,

I forgot about the IQ thing! His opinions on deterministic behavior are also a little out there and kind of look at the decision process backwards.

Speculater ,

Lemmy.ml no thanks, thank you bot for trying

Speculater ,

I think people don’t like having to figure out what federation means and run away without realizing that they didn’t need to know what it means to participate.

Speculater ,

Or all the “elder millennials” that are actually Gen X, like bro, 1980 is not a millennial. You were 20 when Y2K happened.

Speculater ,

Correct. If you couldn’t legally vote when Y2K happened and thought the Power Rangers were cool and not a kids show, you’re a millennial.

Speculater ,

Green ranger for me, but yes. :-D

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

Speculater ,

They’re also hyper sensitive and generally toxic with their reflex delete/ban/block. They’ll see what they want to see in the most mundane comments and nuke an entire thread. Best to just block them and ignore.

Speculater ,

They specifically obfuscate which mods take what actions so you can’t appeal or even defend.

Speculater ,

Yup, I haven’t seen one of them in weeks ever since one of their mods deleted a post of mine for supposedly being racist. Apparently, they can see what you write, but you won’t see their comments.

Speculater ,

Then have a mod box or something. What they currently do is, “Post removed. Reason. Rule 1.”

No details, no appeal, nada.

Speculater ,

If they act on a post or comment, there’s no way to ask why or see what their actual reasoning was. So it allows blanket censorship without a paper trail.

Speculater ,

I tried something similar as a child to send my friend a letter. I wrote their address as the return address and dropped it off at the post office… They sent it to me anyways.

Speculater ,

Anyone who didn’t know it was a Chinese owned propaganda factory was refusing to follow the money.

Speculater ,

That was all to get the right to take it seriously. It worked.

Speculater ,

I fucking love metal, but on principle will never listen to, buy, or support Metallica in any way ever. I also pass this to younger generations. I was a poor kid without a way to listen to music outside an FM radio, but this badass “thrash metal” band wanted me to pay what I didn’t have so I could listen to them.

So as a well off adult my vinyl collection grows without them.

Speculater ,

I just want a mid-level card with 64GB of VRAM…

Speculater ,

That poor girl… Horrible parents should carry some of the blame though and pay for her therapy then apologize. If they win the lawsuit, every damn penny should be set in a trust for her so they can’t profit off their own negligence.

Speculater ,

A lot of people use it because it’s been the default for so long, but I’m slowly getting friends and family to swap.

Speculater ,

I usually tie it into a discussion about password managers and show them Bitwarden too. Like with my in-laws I did a dark web scan and showed them their own passwords were basically public knowledge. Could they use it with Chrome? Sure. But they want to know they’re secure and they trust me, so I get them on Firefox with a password manager.

Speculater ,

Basically just don’t want to give them the ability to track my every click.
