Isn’t all conscription forced?

Also like I wouldn’t want to be drafted but isn’t it kinda progress for the Ukrainian army to draft gay people? Something most modern armies have avoided?

nixcamic ,

Hey it’s better than optional Palestine.

That seems a bit excessive, say all 8 billion people were using Google products, 8 million reviews would be 1 per thousand users which seems like many more than are needed since almost all users of Google are passive and don’t create content.

nixcamic ,

But they don’t have to review every video, just the ones that are flagged by the AI then contested, which is probably a fraction of a percentage of all of them.

nixcamic ,

I don’t get it, like, I get why people support him, they live in a weird media bubble, but that same media bubble insists he’s a fantastically successful businessman, why donate to a billionaire even if you do support his cause?

nixcamic ,

How do you even boycott him? Like nobody I know has ever bought anything Trump sells not because they’re boycotting him but just because what does he even sell?

nixcamic ,

Or just use Firefox.

nixcamic ,

Yeah it’s just that I feel like if someone is still using freaking Chrome in 2024 then asking them to use something even more obscure than FF might be a bridge too far.

He doesn’t want to leave Gaza for Gaza’s sake, he wants to leave Gaza cause he views the current invasion as harmful to Israel.

Side of bed debate - Which side is left?

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person’s head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an “anatomical position” or special terminology like in boating for this?...

nixcamic ,

But that’s the position you most commonly look at a bed from. And when figuring out where you’re gonna get into the bed.

Like the only time you actually use the information about sides of bed is from the perspective of outside the bed.

nixcamic ,

Ah yes Mr. Storr, inventor of the Story.

Are there any EV cars without any "technology"?

Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...

nixcamic ,

Probably not available where you are but there are lots of Chinese options that are exactly this.

nixcamic ,

Even then it’s added up the cheese, not the sauce. If you added white glue to the sauce you’d get some weird pink looking sauce.

nixcamic ,

Red glue.

nixcamic ,

Drug test em both.

nixcamic ,

Oh but you just know Trump would test positive for everything Biden’s on and a whole lot more.

nixcamic ,

I’m white but grew up in Latin America. Nobody cares if I act Latino in Latin American contexts but if I do with a bunch of white people who don’t know me it can be weird. Also there’s the whole “racially self deprecating latino humor” area that I just kinda try to steer out of generally because nope…

nixcamic ,

And also all of their competition also kinda sucks. So like, Teams is worse enough that if you’re using it every day you’ll hate it but not worse enough that if you use it once or twice you’ll notice.

nixcamic ,

That’s like the least bad thing he’s done.

nixcamic ,

Oh man you should have gotten the article it was on in the cap, the context makes it so much better.

Oh yeah no the link is good but it would have been better to have it in the screenshot is all.

How Republicans Echo Antisemitic Tropes Despite Declaring Support for Israel (www.nytimes.com)

The Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, traveled to Columbia University two weeks ago to decry the “virus of antisemitism” that he said pro-Palestinian protesters were spreading across the country. “They have chased down Jewish students. They have mocked them and reviled them,” he said to jeers from...

  1. It is true that evangelical Christians believe that Israel has to exist for Jesus to return. This is the part they don’t say out loud: Every Jew in the world has to be exiled to Israel for this to happen.

I grew up fairly fundamentalist and just wanna point out that while some evangelicals believe this it’s far from universal. (The every Jew in the world being there part, not the Israel having to exist part)

nixcamic ,

To a lot of people religion is a fundamental part of who they are, on par with or often even greater than their sexuality. Giving that up is just not an option.

nixcamic ,

I mean you could say the same about cultural identity or sexuality. You’d be wrong all three times.

nixcamic ,

I mean nothing is 100% like something else, I included sexuality as a comparison to how fundamental it is to people, it’s obviously not a complete analogue in every way 🙄

And culture is not just “following traditions” lol it’s your worldview, how your process information and so much more.

Hey how come the government gets to put water in my pipes at all? There my pipes! True freedom is them being completely empty.

I had to pay $20 to a slightly shady online service cause one of my kids is an idiot and changed all his passwords cause one of the other kids knew them (because he told them…) then proceeded to forget all the new passwords.

So I know that on most models of Samsung phone you can just pay $20 to a slightly shady online service.

nixcamic ,

I have very mixed feelings about Bukele but nobody is leaving because of him. Salvadorian emigration has slowed greatly under him and many people are actually moving back.

nixcamic ,

Correction: they still use AC motors, but those motors don’t use line AC. It goes line AC > rectifier > DC > inverter board > variable frequency AC to run the compressor motor.

Most RV fridges just use DC motors, but there are some that use VFDs and AC motors.

nixcamic ,

I mean that’s the least wrong part imo. I’ve ran a fridge off of a car battery and if it starts cold you can go a lot longer than that.

nixcamic ,

Nah if the fridge starts cold and you aren’t constantly opening the door you can easily get 5 hours on a car battery.

nixcamic ,

I’ve also done the off grid thing and you can get way more than 2 hours on a car battery if the fridge is already cold and you aren’t constantly opening the door. Also have ran modem full sized fridges on 1000w inverters. So YMMV.

The Bible even says if a family member ever doubts Jesus, you’re to kill them immediately to prevent them from convincing others.

Which is a throw back to a schizophrenic guy named Abraham killing his family because they doubted the voices Abraham heard in his head.

I’m gonna request citations on these two.

nixcamic ,

And like, it’s not like there isn’t some weird shit in the Bible, or valid critiques of Abrahamic religions, but did this bro go for any of that? Nah, better to just make stuff up. Which is kinda ironic…

nixcamic ,

The event was in Scotland, so I think he’s that that the woman, who is probably descended from the Picts, is still hilarious.

nixcamic ,

Wow I’m surprised this comment doesn’t have 20 tankies under it defending the CCP. Lemmy has changed.

nixcamic ,

I’d love to not buy gasoline! Someone buy me an electric car.

nixcamic ,

I don’t really see it this way it’s just marketing. Saying “all other browsers descend from big bad corporate Apple” is scary, saying “all other browsers descend from another open source project” is meh.

What’s terrible is I don’t speak Dutch and instantly knew what this was.

Taylor Swift launches legal broadside at a college student who tracks private jets via public data (www.seattletimes.com)

In late December, Swift’s camp hit Jack Sweeney, a junior studying information technology at the University of Central Florida, with a cease-and-desist letter that blamed his automated tracking of her private jet for tipping off stalkers as to her location. In the letter, attorneys from the law firm Venable accused Sweeney of...

nixcamic ,

Well not just adsb but I think all filed flight plans are public also?

nixcamic ,

The president of my very violent country flies economy on public flights. I think she could have a few bodyguards in first class with her and be fine.

nixcamic ,

I mean the average for my whole country is the same as the average for the most violent cities in the USA so I think I win.

nixcamic ,

You can totally charter private jets bud.
