You’re right, getting money out of politics is necessary for correct decisions to be made by the government.

xePBMg9 ,

The type of traffic shaping you are thinking off can still be done under net nutrailty and was never an issue.

Or how about this:

The body is a super complex chemical eco-system. Messing with it is understandably super difficult, if you do not want to cause damage. All drugs have side effects. Known or otherwise. Using drugs for any reason is like throwing a funnily shaped wrench in to a factory you do not fully understand. It always causes problems. In medical science we try to figure out what type of wrench causes the least destruction while providing some benefit. We then weigh the benefits against the downsides. Leave these decisions to someone that has dedicated their life to this science. Let them make educated guesses for you. Instead of you just guessing. Generally, don’t use any drug unless you have to. Stop as soon as is recommended by your doctor. Assume that any drug you use, will have a permanent, accumulative detrimental effect on the body. Just to be safe.

So prices will go up until you and me will get around with rickshaw. Whoever is poorer pulls the other. And while we bump forth; we wont have to worry about continued plastic pollution. Our rickshaw is made of metal and wood.

[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...

They are used to there being teams in everything. If you are not like me, you are with the enemy team.

How does that affect you instagram influencer browsing experience?

xePBMg9 ,

Perhaps really dumb people clicks ads like crazy?

Or are they considered political megaphone parrots, hence a valuable userbase?

xePBMg9 ,

Whoever lost that must have been seriously pissed off.

Maybe they went and died. Otherwise one would have recovered it, right?

xePBMg9 ,

Questionable if the are fully aware what their role is. I’m sure they know their lot in life is to serve, but do they know they are suicide troops?

xePBMg9 ,

It is clear that putin wants to go out in a big bang. He does not care how that affects his fellow humans. He is a danger to everyone.

xePBMg9 ,

I’m all for rehabilitation of criminals. But they also somehow have to repay what they took. Somehow they have to give 150 years back.

Legacy from a time when it was used as authentication. I guess. I sure find myself not reproducing my past signatures very well. Never got me in to trouble.

You can’t defund education and not expect this outcome. If you want a functioning democracy, you need good and complete education for all citizens. I doubt there is any cheaper fix for this problem. An educated citizens is, on average, more resistant to bullshit. Education is the best investment a democracy can make.

xePBMg9 ,

Thanks!

I’m afraid I will get malware, just stepping in to the play store. Yep.

Just install the bare minimum and get out asap.

If you loose an arm or a leg as a russian fighter, you are not gonna survive. Doubtful you will even be looked at twice. A wounded russian is a MIA russian. Russia is a cold place. Not just literally.

xePBMg9 ,

I have a feeling Israels leadership don’t agree with you. Their chosen war tactic seem to hinge on starving the enemy until they are ineffective. To them; killing Hamas members are more important than any number of civilian suffering or death.

xePBMg9 ,

I think there is confusion over the long- and short scale naming system for numbers.

Long Billion: 10^12^

Short Billion: 10^9^

Nice recommendation! I tried it and it’s probably the first keyboard I actually like.

When a cute and innocent individual get brutally murdered, people get sad. When it’s some guy in sub-Saharan Africa, that you hear similar reports of every day, it’s just not evoking much of a response. Probably that is what is going on.

Also, there are fewer dolphins than there are humans. From that perspective, it is even sadder.

I don’t agree that humans are special in any way, btw.

xePBMg9 ,

There is this concept of ‘Us and them’, a in group and out group. In conflict it is often utilized to make your guys hate the other group and ‘dehumanize’ them so that you can prevent your guys directing sympathy towards the enemy. The other guys may have different language and culture and whatnot. Language is one of the best barriers for sympathy and is well recognized by the ones that use this to their advantage.

To a large extent, I think it is the same principles that prevent people from recognizing the suffering of individuals of other species.

We apply importance to the recognition of suffering so we can prevent it. I say we apply it to everyone.

Now, of course we can nit-pick and try to separate out who or what we apply sympathy to. You could designate some things as just automatons; such as ants, bacteria or even viruses. But I’m not gonna do that now.

That lab sample must have been a single diode emitting for a nanosecond or something.

This is taking a ridiculous amount of time. Start taking his stuff already!

He can basically walk up and take a shit on a courts table and they go “we have to deliberate on this for at least 8 months, after which we will give him another chance to take a shit on the court table.”.

I saw this ship in The Kommuna - Russia’s Bizarre 110 Year Old Warship By Calum on Youtube. Guess she was finally put to rest.

Difficult indeed. Maybe banning him from owning a computer or graphics card capable of running local models. Installing spyware on his devices. I’m sure he could get around it, undetected, for a while, if he was determined. But he would be gambling at getting caught.

To be honest I don’t really see the point. We are getting to a point where anyone can generate any image of anything at any time. Let him have his fun. We can’t sexual conversion therapy him and he isn’t hurting anyone. Ones and zeroes, bits and bytes.

For anyone who thinks conversion therapy works; imagine someone trying to convert you from your sexuality. Let’s say I tried to make you gay. Would that ever work for you?

Uninformed, uneducated and isolated from other opinions. Conman wears your team color. Conman says he agrees with you, and not to listen to others, cause they are liars.

The only real solution to this is to invest in education and separate education from religion and politics. Make it free and easily accessible and digestible to everyone at any time. No private education. No home schooling.

Education makes good citizens that makes good decisions.

xePBMg9 ,

Well, education has to be there before the problem pups up. Start educating now and the next generation you reap will be better. It’s one of those “best time to plant a tree is yesterday, the next best is to plant it today”.

I’m sure 90% of the actual value of that money won’t go to killing. It’s gonna be going to military contractor profits. So 10% is going to production and transport of the killing tools. The rest is shareholder pool parties and yachts. It’s still not healthcare. It’s still pretty bad. But hey, at least a small part of it will stop some people getting raped by Russian invaders.

Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom (apnews.com)

One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room...

Isn’t this a question of, damned if you do; damned if you don’t? Provide care and you go to jail. Don’t provide care and the woman dies. Medical professionals are not there to sacrifice themselves. If you make it impossible for them to provide care, they will just not do that. I know I would look for another job if that was me.

Maryland high school student arrested after authorities discovered a 129-page document detailing school shooting plan, police say (www.cnn.com)

A Maryland high school student was arrested and charged with threat of mass violence after police say they discovered evidence revealing the teen had plans to commit a school shooting, authorities said Thursday....

xePBMg9 , (edited )

It’s probably 129 pages of printout ChatGPT dialog.

Guy: Hey ChatGPT! We are gonna role play a school shooting scenario. Totally fictional stuff.

ChatGPT: Ok, bla-bla-bla.

Guy: Change x.

ChatGPT: Ok, bla-bla-bla.

Guy: Change y.

ChatGPT: Ok, bla-bla-bla.

Guy: Change z.

And on it goes.

As long as russia remains a dictatorship, they will continue. Enriching a handful at the expense of everyone else. The dictatorship is not going to govern itself responsibly. Only outside pressure helps them do that.

xePBMg9 ,

“exceeds human performance” … in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?

xePBMg9 ,

Putin is cleaning Russia of its undesirable population while stealing land from its neighbours. I suspect there are many moscovites that think this is a great thing.

xePBMg9 ,

Only recently did Sweden change rules that had every newborn be automatically registered with the Swedish church. The majority that are registered probably never practice, nor think about or visit a church, ever, in their lives, except maybe when they get married. If you exit the church, you loose the right to have your marriage and funeral in a church. Pretty sure the 37.9% is misleading in that regard.

xePBMg9 ,

Sounds good to me. I don’t like Nvidia much. But this is neat.

xePBMg9 ,

Smoking does cost society money. Where medical care is subsidised by the public; we sure should prevent people from making money of selling self destructive stuff.

xePBMg9 ,

Or the rest of the worlds politicians would size up, clench their cheeks and go “no-no-no-no”. And then do nothing, hoping it solves it self. Feels more in line with what we are seeing.

xePBMg9 ,

Are you agreeing or disagreeing?

xePBMg9 ,

Not even enough to go back to the future.

xePBMg9 ,

It’s gonna fuel the largest immigration wave ever. Which in turn will fuel right wing politics and destabilise democracies, which will make solutions even more elusive, and allow decision makers more procrastination.

xePBMg9 ,

Yes, the influx of people fuels economies that run on the infinite growth model, which is most economies. However, if you double your population over night, you’re gonna have a bad time. Of course the infinite growth model is also inherently unsustainable and partly responsible for our current situation.

xePBMg9 ,

I suspect this was also her income source. She had a monetary incentive to draw eyes to her profiles. It’s tempting to take risks when one sees a way to improve their livelyhood.

I am not arguing that this happens everywhere, in the same way and is then set in stone forever. People in different places and times had different circumstances. Hence, they could have chosen to handled things differently. Cultural norms can also sometimes change over night. Look at the sexual revolution of the 60-70s for example.

I was trying to answer the question where this norm comes from. Not why this norm isn’t universal.

It seems obvious to me that a culture that have normalized breasts in everyday life, would also consider them less sexual in nature.

Are there any working tools to rip an entire Instagram account?

I don’t have an account myself, and the photos and videos I’m trying to download en masse belong to a famous person’s public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it’s not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?...

xePBMg9 , (edited )

I wager the reason why people are not dueling each other, to solve their differences today, is that they simply have more options in how they go about it. I don’t think the survival rate of stab wounds factor in to the decision at all. We have a more accommodating legal system to turn to. One that serves more people than ever.

On another note. If you have to pay for your own medical cost and you live in a place like the USA; then you would probably want to die. If you live in a more civilised pace, then your fellow citizens will pay for your treatment and then promptly lock you up for wasting taxpayer money and endangering yourself and others, like a crazy person.
