Literally what other options are there?

WldFyre ,

I’d love to see any evidence or logical arguments that an inflationary economy is worse than a deflationary one.

WldFyre ,

I mean, I don’t disagree with you on that. I didn’t think your first comment quite conveyed this nuance, and deflationary economies are terrible for everyone.

WldFyre ,

I don’t think local economies from millennia ago are similar enough to compare to modern global economies with our current population boom. I think we could for sure have a different approach if our population was stable or decreasing.

WldFyre ,

That means until the early 1900s or 1970s

What a wide window, but I’d like to point out that the baby boomers generation happened right around this time.

Huh what?

Fertility rates and total population numbers are not the same thing.

WldFyre ,

Doesn’t that just mean the data would have to be anonymized ?

WldFyre ,

I don’t think that addresses my point. Is my opinion on the new Star Wars movies that I post online or some lines of code I suggest “personal data”? I thought personal data had a specific definition under GDPR

WldFyre ,

Wouldn’t that make AI training data easier to obtain?

WldFyre ,

That’s what I thought, that’s why I was confused about your reply haha

My bad!

WldFyre ,

How programmers utilize something doesn’t mean it’s the mathematical standard, idk why ISO would be a reference for this at all

WldFyre ,

Yes, but it’s not for mathematicians. It’s for the applied fields.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

WldFyre ,

I don’t think you’ve understood the arguments for veganism lol

Of course proponents of a position/philosophy/political stace also subscribe to those beliefs. There are not many misogynists arguing in favor of feminism.

WldFyre ,

So the answer isn’t to eat less animals, it’s to kill people to get our population down?

For the record, my wife and I chose to not have kids. And in my experience, usually the people that are gung ho to have a large family and lots of kids are right-wing, meat-loving morons.

WldFyre ,

Isntreal

These childish Trump-like insults for names look so stupid lol

WldFyre ,

I don’t think double entendre is necessarily sexual

WldFyre ,

I mean they did literally break windows so they could get into Hamilton Hall

WldFyre ,

They’ve arrested people who weren’t students, not sure why you’re saying they haven’t

WldFyre ,

Is that what I said? If I reiterate my exact words would that be enough for you or are you gonna read into that too?

WldFyre ,

The person I replied to said that someone “lied about smashing windows.” I replied saying that that part was actually true. You don’t argue about police brutality by lying and denying what actually happened, that’s how you get people reading to dismiss your points.

WldFyre ,

Isn’t the activation phrase on a separate piece of hardware that’s not networked?

NGL I don’t the the guy with the anti ai blurb in all his comments is very knowledgeable about tech lol

WldFyre ,

it painfully obvious to me that the only difference between DEM and GOP is rhetoric, but when it comes to action, they all do the same thing.

Sure, that’s why living conditions and human rights are so much better in Dem states than in Rep states lol come on now

Police clear pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University while clashes break out at UCLA (apnews.com)

NEW YORK (AP) — The pro-Palestinian demonstration that paralyzed Columbia University ended in dramatic fashion, with police carrying riot shields bursting into a building that protesters took over the previous night and making dozens of arrests. On the other side of the country, clashes broke out early Wednesday between...

WldFyre ,

Didn’t Columbia offer the same deal to their students as Brown did? And they rejected it?

WldFyre ,

We’ve called those liquids “milk” for over a thousand years

WldFyre ,

Way to hold them to a higher standard! /s

Don’t you have some Democrats to be criticizing?

WldFyre ,

Why? For reporting on the results of a poll? What an odd, disproportionate response.

WldFyre ,

“This woman titled this article differently than I would have, so I don’t respect her and imagine she doesn’t respect herself.”

You sound like quite the catch lol

WldFyre ,

Thing is, even if he is good at media criticism, there’s no stakes for him. Nobody knows who he is, what he looks like, he has nothing on the line, and his credibility in his primary occupation cannot be harmed if he is wrong.

This reads like an argument against open source projects in general lol

WldFyre ,

What a coincidence! I literally started another listen of the audiobook again today, highly recommend it to anyone wanting a cerebral, fascinating sci Fi book The narrator is great, too!

WldFyre ,

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks interesting! I’ll get it after I’m done re-listening to Blindsight!

WldFyre ,

I vote for LPS, Lunar Positioning System, vs our Global one.

Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?

I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has...

WldFyre ,

Lol are you complaining about the way people treat men’s rights subs??

WldFyre ,

That’s like arguing exceptions for hate speech shouldn’t exist since it’s not in the first amendment.

WldFyre ,

Said every fascist ever lolol

WldFyre ,

Disagreeable premises?? What was disagreeable, the part that was true?

WldFyre ,

But you still used it, no one’s confused about what word you meant. It’s such an odd line to draw IMO.

It’s like the “anal doesn’t count as REAL sex” nonsense, but for cussing lol

WldFyre ,

Ah finally! You didn’t put that link in this comment, so I get to feed it to my hungry AI that I keep down in my basement!

WldFyre ,

Of course they can do whatever they want, it just looks juvenile.

“I don’t wanna cuss so I self-semi-censor the words” is still just cussing. It’s a weird lie about something that doesn’t matter, just fucking cuss or use a different word if you don’t like cussing.

WldFyre ,

But they didn’t use swear adjacent words, they self censored some letters from a cuss word. I even said “just use a different word.”

WldFyre ,

Do you also think “lets go Brandon” is more civil than “fuck Joe Biden”?

I was just pointing out it was silly that they “don’t want to generate” cuss words, but instead of just saying a different word, they still just cuss. It’s a weird mental block that doesn’t make sense.

WldFyre ,

They said they pay for YouTube premium so they might not have to block YouTube ads

WldFyre ,

Lol

WldFyre ,

You drink distilled water, which causes you issues you have to remedy by taking additional supplements.

Clearly your stance is not viable for general populations. You sound like people that don’t want to allow blood transfusions because it makes them feel icky and fringe cases exist of it going poorly.

WldFyre ,

Someone who gives themselves mineral deficiencies should absolutely not be listened to when it comes to general public health issues lol

Fluoride in the doses allowed in water doesn’t cause brain damage, you sound like an anti-vaxxer.

WldFyre ,

And how do you know what doses people are getting?

Lol just like an anti-vaxxer. Where’s your evidence of water having dangerous doses exceeding regulations or what exceeding the levels the utility says they use? Bonus points if you’re able to find levels that exceed what’s actually safe for humans.

WldFyre ,

Lmfao because it’s not dangerous! We’ve done it for decades to tens if not hundreds of millions of people, with no negative effects. And we have proven medical benefits.

Just because at stronger doses than we use in drinking water can cause problems doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it, that logic would apply to anything, salt, sugar, caffeine, etc.

Just because you get scared of things you don’t understand doesn’t mean you should dictate what other people get to do, ya goofball. Read a book sometime.
