thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in Milk

hey now, there’s also goat milk among others.

thedirtyknapkin , to greentext in Why Japanese anons don't use Linux

ahhh, but not necessarily the one that they found at the back of an old book store that was a bonus item on a Blu-ray release of an anime that 10 people saw? think that one will run on Linux?

thedirtyknapkin , to asklemmy in Why do we always consider cultures as inherently better than cults? Are there no exceptions to this?

I’ve got a really unscientific answer that feels good in my head.

culture is so deeply ingrained and large that only two things could change it:

1: slow change from within

2: war/genocide

cults on the other hand are small enough and new enough and not deeply enough ingrained. it feels possible to defeat them in the “marketplace of ideas” as it were.

even if that’s not quite true, even if it’s not actually easier to argue can against scientology. it feels like it should be.

that’s why there’s such a difference in criticism too. because it comes down to “well what do you think should be done about it then?” it’s pretty clear that you can’t argue a person out of such a deeply rooted cultural belief.

also, it’s about who you’re criticizing in relation to yourself. a white person living in America has way more ground to stand on calling another white American out for having bad beliefs and practices. this is because you can understand where they come from and the culture around them

ultimately there is no concrete “good” and “bad”. for you to enforce your idea of that onto a people who universally agree that your “good” is actually bad then you’re the bad guy no matter how right you think you are. no matter how much your people think you’re right for what you do that’s cultural imperialism/plain old regular imperialism.

thedirtyknapkin , to world in EU condemns Hamas attack on Israel as ‘terrorism in its most despicable form’

that might work for some people if the attack had been on enemy combatants and not a music festival and population center.

I don’t like the way Israel treats Palestine either, but this was deplorable.

thedirtyknapkin , to piracy in I have a seedbox, now what?

I’d start with any torrent that you ever struggled to get seeders for. then i like to try and hit some kinda older classic type stuff that i like and want others to see as well. tough to give any other thoughts without knowing what you DO like to torrent lol. only knowing what you don’t doesn’t get us far.

thedirtyknapkin , to news in California governor vetoes bill that would have banned caste discrimination

hmm, I mean, the law does explicitly mention discrimination based on ancestry. the caste system is just a structure of ancestral discrimination. one could argue that caste is interchangeable with ancestry for the purpose of this law. i can see why he wouldn’t want a different law to ban every synonym and foreign language word for a thing that’s already banned.

thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in I don't know how they come up with this stuff

depends on what you consider crime. if we go by actual money stolen through wage theft or unpayed taxes, then corporate America simply is the criminals.

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in How Google Alters Search Queries to Get at Your Wallet

who do you think is using literally anything else other than tech people?

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night

oh yeah, I’ve been fighting hard to keep only important shit in my notifications for years decades

edit: shit does Lemmy not use markdown?

thedirtyknapkin , to patientgamers in What Are Some Good Card Videogames?

the multiplayer is predatory still, but the single player mode in legends of runterra has actually been really fun.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in I get it now

H!, that might do it lol.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in I get it now

i mean, the fact that we never heard about this pretty much shows that it wasn’t a success.

contrary to men being known for being horny, they read almost no horny books. erotic literature is like over 90% female readers. don’t ask me why, but men just don’t like to read their smut the same way women do. so no, i don’t think this ever had any chance of succeeding unless it was a movie instead, but how often do movies that are only about women being hot actually succeed anymore?

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in book memes

yeah, like others have been saying. it’s exciting, even though the actual plot is very different. to me, they kept its soul and even modernized the science.

thedirtyknapkin , to nostupidquestions in How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.

he definitely puts his own agenda into his show. like, with COVID, he only invited guests with one opinion. he picked the anecdotes and every part of the show that wasn’t pure interview. he very very clearly and strongly wanted to push that vaccines are bad and COVID is overblown. that was not a guest doing that.

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Violent video games linked to verbal aggression and hostility but not physical aggression

maybe the point is more that many violent video games aren’t competitive.
