I think you may have to start a new community for this, I’m genuinely not sure where a story like this might go. Excellent, though. Very interested to find out more.

The “Casual conservation” community is probably too casual for this. Maybe creating something like /c/WildPersonalStories ?

…and you’re treated as culturally insensitive if you point out that it’s partially motivated because of two bullshit ass religions, and the reason they won’t stop is because they’ve each just got to prove their God has the bigger dick, even though they’re technically the same God.

Look man, if your options are literally only “do nothing and accept your fate” or “kill a bunch of innocent people who never did anything to you and actually may have supported you” then maybe you should just give up and accept your fate, because we’re literally seeing how many more innocents are dying because of this. They didn’t put a dent in Israel’s defenses. They gave Israel more excuses to the international community to murder even more innocents. Great plan, Hamas. I’m glad it worked out so swimmingly and actually changed things instead of just continuing the same bullshit cycle. /s

If you can point to me out how this is going to result in anything other than more death and destruction, feel free to clue me in. Because fuck nothing has changed. They didn’t take out the people responsible. They didn’t change the power balance, and now even more Palestinians are paying the price because Israel is a fucked up aggressor.

Acting like a bad plan that resulted in more innocents deaths is some great blow against the establishment is dumb as fuck.

I dunno, I always thought it was meant to mimic organics.

“Cable management” inside the human body is horrendous. So it felt like in the mixing of machine and biology, the machines had to become more biological in the way they worked to function properly in tandem with the Borg biology.

Gonna be real difficult to recover from if you lose the device with your passkeys on it or that device is broken.

Couple that with eSIMs and you are looking at a lot of headaches for the non-tech savvy.

Supposedly you can use a security key but they are pushing biometrics, yikes!

Wait until passkeys and all their issues have been solved by the major players.

Don’t lock yourself out of your digital life chasing something flashy and new.

Exactly what meals on wheels is for, but it needs more funding, to be sure.

Agreed, of course. Was just pointing out that such a thing did exist. Charities are not the most effective way to handle such issues, absolutely.

Charities absolutely rely on things like public relations and advertising campaigns to raise awareness that they exist and/or need funding. It leaves everyone at the mercy of which charity is “most popular” and if yours isn’t very popular, you could see it disappear. It also means a significant portion of the budget is spent on things that don’t actually address the real problem, which is hunger.

Hey check it out, this guy hasn’t heard of Franz Ferdinand! /s

As to not be rude or dismissive: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is generally credited with the start of World War I. The implication being that a world war has been started over a seemingly small event that had tumultuous consequences thereafter. The further implication being that we may already be past a Franz Ferdinand assassination type event and may be worryingly headlong into a path to large scale warfare once again.

I just wish eggnog’s flavor was as celebrated as pumpkin spice.

put that shit in everything.

dingus ,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I wonder if all the pro pumpkin spice stuff is a backlash against all the anti pumpkin spice stuff that was going around a while back.

Oh yeah, it definitely is. A lot of it is because a lot of weirdos like pumpkin spice, too. It got labeled as a “basic” thing as though being boring and enjoying simple pleasures isn’t what’s available to most people living in poverty, which when 60% of the US lives paycheck to paycheck… is the majority of people. Most people are boring because it’s what we have access to and time for, and a lot of folks are done being vilified for it as though your choice in coffee speaks to some larger issue about you. It doesn’t.

It’s really in many ways an unintentionally classist dig on people who like sweets or just simple things.

Indeed, there’s not as many passionate Nogg Hogs.

Print, it’s text being “published” by the website you’re posting it to.

Also, in the context of the meme, he isn’t saying it, he has a printed sign alleging it so. Thus, libel.

Considering how much full disk encryption can slow down a machine in daily use, she might have used that as a justification for asking for a “beefier” PC that would slowed down less by encryption.

They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

Is the only thing you do at home is lay in bed? I do plenty of stuff at home that requires me to have my glasses on all day.

I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed.

She was also an unabashed atheist, which is why she was able to promote the idea of selfishness being good.

What’s funny is it’s the mostly Christian right-wing which has embraced her.

I guess they’re okay with atheism as long as its playing for the right “team.”

Look, the people who hand out Bibles are usually from a specific sect of Christianity.

I get it, they’re just as shitty as most Christians, in most ways, but…

The reason they give the Bibles away is because they figure that knowledge is power and they don’t want to force people to have to spend money they don’t have to be able to read the Bible.

I hate to say it, but I agree with their attitudes regarding freedom and access to information. They may not be distributing information I care for, but I can’t fault the attitude. Information and access to it shouldn’t be limited, because knowledge is power.

Right attitude, wrong values otherwise.

Nearly every religion preaches to be giving and kind to those in need. It’s absolutely not a non-sequitor to admit that a large number of atheists don’t believe there is any guiding morality to the universe and that we have to come to our own conclusions about morals and ethics. Moral relativism is a generally accepted thing among many atheists. This does not mean all atheists are selfish, I would classify most as Humanists. Rand was mostly an outlier.

She was able to promote the idea that selfishness could be good because she didn’t ascribe to any religion that defined that as a sin.

@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m a fucking atheist and I think Ayn Rand was a loser sack of shit who leaned on every government assistance she preached against existing.

So yeah, Rand was riding on it. I would like to think most fellow atheists reject her power-worship bullshit wrapped in “Objectivism.”

@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

It is indeed worse, I agree.

I do think it is odd she was embraced by Christians.

Other devs, please follow suit.

This industry needs class consciousness in it yesterday.

Just because you’re paid well doesn’t mean you’re not being mistreated.

It’s valid to be thankful for what you have but to also know you deserve more.
