Hmm… not bad. I only watched 5ish min, but he seems genuine - that is to say, he realizes he fucked up, not that he’ll actually change anything

More interesting, to me, as someone that had only heard about this from headlines, you can clearly see the mental illness pervasive in his community by looking at the comments and even moreso by looking at the guy’s room. Dude is someone we should pity, not hate - granted I understand influencers having massive platforms, and well influence

Still, I wish we could be more like the Palestinians and Arabs he mentions, that checked on him to see if he was ok, instead of the knee-jerk, quick to react Americans we are, that are ready to pounce on a fallen neighbor enemy and eager to find ways we’re different to further divide ourselves

Oh no…I’m in danger! lol

/Cries on my S10

The statement confirms that the latest version of the SmartThings app is the root cause of these bootloops. It further confirms that the update is no longer rolling out to devices, so you need not worry about accepting an update on your device.

Right… I’ma just go ahead and disable auto-updating, thanks

Interesting. I thought that was just in movies. lol

Ok, yeah I figured the same thing

That seems kinda fucked up. Why would you do something like that?

I mean, I at least get fucking with people for money. Doing it for fun, not so much

Also, anyone know what they meant with this line?

I still loved my life so I didn’t want to use the Google custom search API.

Haha. Nah, I wasn’t being serious. I was making a reference to the “-typical” in the term neurotypical and thought it was funniee to point it out - like a wink wink nudge nudge thing

I do this and it makes me wonder. It doesn’t seem normal typical but it makes a lot of sense to me

Alright let’s do this Lemmy pals

1. Socrates willingly takes hemlock after being cancelled for going viral

2. Plato covers Socrates in written text (and goes viral)

3. Aristotle does his own thing… getting fuzzy

4. Aquinas makes… arguments

…

Anyone know if The Finals counts as a “live service” game? It’s free to play and I think it’s fantastic - both the game and the fact it’s free.

I just don’t play games enough to justify the huge asking prices anymore. The last games I paid for were COD MW2 and Cyberpunk and I doubt I’ll ever drop $70+ for a game again, especially when there’s games like splitgate and whatnot that are free (not that I ever tried the new one. lol)

I rather enjoy this disagreement 🍿

Would anyone like to question whether Everett’s size is an important factor? I certainly wouldn’t

Personally, I’m imagining a cute punk chick getting. You definitely move then

I agree with your premise (disinterested voters exist) and think your conlusion is debatable (the idiots part at least), but I encourage your optimism and wholeheartedly agree with your goals!

Seriously! You might have a solid shot 🤣

That’s funny, I’m most relaxed and distracted when I’m avoiding some work I was supposed to do months ago

On one hand, this could likely get more people to go vote. But, on the other hand, I’m not sure what kind of voter would be motivated by just a hand-drawn I voted sticker alone

(For anyone with poor logic skills that’s taking this personally, I’m not considering people that were already going to vote and want the sticker, just the ones that might vote now that weren’t going to before)

I’m going to rely on the data saying more voters = more Dem wins, but I’m not entirely convinced. I’m inclined to think they may be even dumber than the mythical undecided voters

Idk… I find pi AI incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in having a low-stakes conversation about their mental health or just to have a general conversation about what they’re feeling. I honestly don’t use it enough (like when I’m super bummed and have no one to talk to). So far, it’s always been 1000% helpful

I’m just happy they learned what peer review means. I doubt even a third of Americans know what it means or its impact on their lives

Yeah that wasn’t at all the impression I got from their first comment

Do people use breed and generically modify interchangeably? Are they actually the same

You’re definitely not wrong that hurting profits is good leverage. It might actually be the best tool we have

I don’t remember where I heard it recently, but we really need to bring back the slogan “no taxation without representation”

Millennials barely have representation and gen z has maybe one representative. The US was legit founded by mostly young people. It’s nuts to see the contrast to today. It’s not even exaggerating to say this nation hates it’s younger citizens

Edit: grammars

Would that work for literally anything we/nations use government for though?

“The government won’t prevent companies polluting the environment, so just assume it’s every individual citizen’s responsibility” “the gov won’t ensure food is safe to eat, so just follow these tiktok channels because it’s ultimately your responsibility to know what companies are putting in the food you eat” or “the gov won’t protect consumers from unfair business practices so just don’t support companies that are have a monopoly in your area” (this last one clearly ain’t working and consumers clearly can’t do anything; thinking of Comcast or Ticketmaster here). Personally, I think the EPA, FDA and antitrust laws are as necessary as any other basic laws (along with people to enforce those laws).

People making the claim that we don’t need government intervention, or saying private citizens should be held responsible, for government-sanctioned practices are either delusional/willfully ignorant or fake actors trying to shift responsibility from the government which literally has the power to enact legislation.

Imo, the biggest responsibility citizens have is to hold their government accountable. Most Americans legit think all politicians are evil and stupid which really just goes to show that they can’t tell the difference between someone trying to fight for companies to pay fair overtime/holiday pay and someone fighting for us to invest in another war err I mean defense

No idea, tbh. I’m nearly half way through it and I’ve yet to hear anything controversial other than religion is basically made up, but I already thought so. It’s really just super thought-provoking stuff.

If I were to describe it, I’d say it’s moreso an incredibly well thought-out narrative on the story of the human species and where we fit in time and space.

For example, the part this meme is from blew my mind. It’s a couple paragraphs and gets set up with the backdrop/context of the agricultural evolution and kind of comes out of nowhere.

Lastly, one interesting thought I had while reading it is how evolution doesn’t really “care” if we’re depressed, as long as we’re still reproducing the cycle continues (this was moreso a thought I had while reading the book than something explicitly said, I think)
