thedirtyknapkin , (edited ) to fediverse in PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

to me it was more the straw that broke the camel’s back. every rude and unreasonable interaction i have in here is with someone from .ml. it’s not even about their politics or beliefs, they’re just not pleasant to have around.

the second you try to engage them they throw the real arguments out for pedantry about definitions and using that to call people dumb instead of actually having meaningful discussion about ideas. they’re the worst kind of “it’s not my job to explain it to you, Google it” people too. like, i get the mindset, but it’s just not going to change anyone’s heart or mind. it’s not how you actually win an argument.

every person on Lemmy.ml argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian. they’re just shitty to be around and basically never add anything meaningful to a discussion other than “you’re wrong and dumb”

honestly, if recent history was anything to go on this investigation would have never started or immediately ended, agreeing they did nothing wrong.

you might have a point about supreme Court meddling, but this all feels new to me.

thedirtyknapkin , (edited ) to memes in it's why I'm here

or any of the other lemmy apps that start without ads…

i still haven’t heard a compelling reason to use that one other than “it’s what I was already used to on Reddit”

thedirtyknapkin , to news in ‘No way out without bloodshed’: the right believe the US is under threat and are mobilizing

i mean, they already mobilized and attacked once. January 6 was not a spur of the moment thing. if you watched the hearings for it you’d know that the fbi knew about j6 for months and warned everyone they could.

presumably there’s much the same kind of planning happening right now.

it’s also damn slow and destructive if you’re trying to fit it into a true professional workflow with deadlines. i work with programs like it professionally and I only use gimp when i find myself on a random computer that doesn’t have anything else. it’ll get the job done, pretty much any job, but it might be very slow and painful. as someone who DEFINITELY knows how to use gimp, i understand the op they’re clowning more than i understand the 1 peer i know that’s actually managing to make money with a fully foss workflow. I also happen to know he largely doesn’t sleep to accomplish it.

gimp and darktable and similar projects are great, but workflow efficiency is what they do after they finish adding features. that just never happens. it’s not the exciting work.

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Apple Patent Hints At Foldable iPhone With Self-healing Screen

yes, all of them. if what the tech was made for.

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Sony Music opts out of AI training for its entire catalog

or an in house solution. Sony is big enough to build out their own team for it. I could see that making sense. i think Sony probably has the best bet out of the companies that own all of the music. they could be positioned to be the only ones capable of making a music “ai”

thedirtyknapkin , to technology in Arizona accuses Amazon of being a monopoly and deceiving consumers with “dark patterns”

think that’s kind of the fate of all new things in today’s world. if it can be used unscrupulously for money, someone will be doing that for tremendous profit. especially since new stuff usually isn’t illegal, Even if it should be.

thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in Country music

there’s country music fans everywhere. especially Dolly Parton.

thedirtyknapkin , to news in Texas mom says police held her face in pile of fire ants, covering head and neck with hundreds of bite marks

which is also how people became so adamant that they bite and don’t sting. it’s a lot easier to see the bite.

thedirtyknapkin , to lemmyshitpost in Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much

ok, so among English speaking countries, how is it more often used? we’ve got multiple people in this thread aggressively telling him he’s wrong, but no other definitions.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in Needle therapy

the crazy thing about placebo is just how effective it is. because yes, placebo could do that.

we have piles of studies that prove beyond a doubt that placebo can measurably and significantly aid in the healing of physical injuries like broken legs. you don’t Even need to believe in it. there’s studies where patients are told they’re being given a placebo that will do nothing, and they STILL got better faster than the group given nothing.

thedirtyknapkin , to memes in Needle therapy

dry needing is a different thing. that’s where they electrically simulate the muscles to like hyper massage them. it’s kind of an extreme deep tissue massage. leaves me sore usually.

it’s not accupuncture, it’s a medical sound practice primarily done by physical therapists.

thedirtyknapkin , to worldnews in UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter

sure, but the issue of the un never getting things done or doing the wrong thing is due to the influence and stalling done by states that oppose the common good for religious reasons or personal gain. in the long run that’s what Palestine is likely to be.

so again, i don’t disagree with this move. it’s necessary, but i also Foresee more problems in the future. nothing really for it, just a prediction.

thedirtyknapkin , to worldnews in UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter

oh I’m aware, that’s why i said another.
