Perfide,

The US isn’t an autocracy, it’s an oligarchy(which is also bad, obviously). China absolutely is an autocracy though.

Perfide,

Agreed, but fix your disrespect. It’s Spider-Man! Respect the hyphen.

Perfide,

That’s pretty cringe of you.

Perfide,

I don’t even think it makes sense, since your skin senses it.

It makes sense when you learn that your skin doesn’t sense ambient temperature at all, but rather it senses the rate at which you are losing or gaining body heat. This is why metal can feel cold at room temperature while something like a blanket actually feels room temp, it’s a better heat conductor so it absorbs body heat from you faster.

Having more body mass means you produce more body heat at any given time, so the rate at which you lose body heat to the air is decreased, making you warmer.

Chrome & Firefox are a false duopoly. Do we need another option? Should there be a public option? Should it come from Italy?

Mozilla is ~83% funded by Google. That’s right- the maker of the dominant Chrome browser is mostly behind its own noteworthy “competitor”. When Google holds that much influence over Mozilla, I call it a false duopoly because consumers are duped into thinking the two are strongly competing with each other. In Mozilla’s...

Perfide,

Opera is chromium based

Perfide,

The US doesn’t need solid roots in the middle east, it is literally an entire ocean away, has the top 4 air forces in world(well, officially Russia is #3, but that probably is no longer the case and definitely won’t be by time the Ukraine invasion ends), the 2nd best/possibly the best Navy in the world, the 2nd largest stockpile of Nukes(and likely the largest stockpile of actually functional ones), not to mention a missile defense system that probably puts even the Iron Dome to shame(after all, the I.D was primarily funded by the US).

Literally the only physical foreign threat the US needs to truly worry about is small scale terrorist-attack style operations, and all out MAD nuclear war. Literally no foreign country is touching us in a traditional war.

No, the only reason the US needs solid roots in the middle east is so it can advance it’s imperialist interventionist goals. You’re absolutely right, Israel is the US’s ally. Where you are wrong though is believing we should support them, rather than ending our alliance with them.

Put it this way: An alliance between two countries is basically like a friendship between two people. If you found out your friend, your best friend even, was a remorseless serial killer, how would you react? Would you rightly dump them as a friend and hope they rot in prison, or would you be like “sure, I realize they killed all those innocent people, but they’re my friend! I HAVE to support them no matter what! Besides, they totally killed some bad people too, so it’s justified.”?

Perfide,

That response makes literally no fucking sense. What am I, specifically, supposed to do about this? Call Biden up on his private line that I somehow have and be like “Hey bro this is some fucked up shit. Pretty please stop?”?

I am a private citizen with no money, no political power, no military power, and no real power to influence others. I do what I can, educating myself on these matters and in turn trying to educate those close to me as well. Sorry that I only have the ear of some friends and family and not fucking Congress or the goddamn President, sue me I guess.

Unlike me, the US government is the most powerful entity on the entire planet in ALL of those regards. It has absolutely no good excuse for continuing to support Israel’s genocide.

Perfide,

Well tell Merne to turn around.

Perfide,

By definition, no, but most people probably assume negativity when they hear the word rant.

Perfide,

Elon took Twitter private, there aren’t any shareholders to answer to anymore.

As for reddit, they’ve been trying to go public for awhile now but afaik they have not succeeded yet, so also no shareholders.

Perfide,

Squirt, the soda.

Perfide,

Bullshit it doesn’t happen in the west. 12.8% of US households were considered food insecure in 2022, with 5.1% of that being considered to have VERY low food security(Source). Over 20,000 Americans died of malnutrition in 2022, more than double the number in 2018(Source).

There’s also nearly 30 vacant homes for every 1 homeless person in the US, so there’s plenty of room, too. Nobody needs a 2nd home when over half a million people don’t even have one.

Perfide,

But it makes unpacking them quicker, which is what you originally seemed to be making fun of in regards to fitgirl repacks.

Perfide,

This is already the case. Even the fastest blu-ray is like 40x slower than the internal SSDs on the PS5 and the XSeX/XSeS, and the largest capacity is only 100GB which isn’t even a single Call of Duty.

Perfide,

Ew, no.

Perfide,

Most of these can barely be qualified as games. They’re literally just interactive porn, essentially.

Perfide,

Meh, who cares? RDR2 was phenomenal, and GTA V was groundbreaking when it first came out. They were worth the cost of admission despite the online modes being shit.

Besides, I had tons of fun in GTA:O. Don’t get me wrong, the actual missions were stupid as shit and not worth the god awful wait times. But using a money glitch a couple times to buy all the cool shit you want, then free roaming with some friends just goofing off doing stunts and shit? That was tons of fun.

Perfide,

Don’t leave money in Paypal, people.

Humans are similar to cancer cells

Cancer cells are cells that keep growing even when they are told to stop. They continue to grow even when they are a detriment to the body. They consume a large amount of resources and they have no regard for the future even though their unsustainable growth will always lead to the death of their host and to themselves....

Just gonna drop this here.

Perfide,

Harry Potter is rather controversial in left wing circles nowadays due to the author being a major terf, and lemmy is definitely a left wing site. That’s likely where the downvotes are coming from.

For what it’s worth upvotes and downvotes don’t appear consistently across instances. On the instance I’m on your HP post has 8 upvotes.

Perfide,

Name of episode?

Perfide,

Or, y’know, fediverse. The original term.

Perfide,

to frigging hotels and summer camps

In Russia. Believe whatever propaganda you want, no matter how you spin it, no matter how well treated the children actually are, it’s still a war crime, it’s still stealing children. The warzone only exists in the first place because of Putins invasion, and it could end tomorrow if he wanted.

Perfide,

Bullshit. Russia is invading Ukraine, there is ZERO justification for that, NONE. If they want to keep Ukrainian children safe, they need to stop invading their country, not kidnap them from their families and forcefully immigrate them to Russia.

Russia can stop invading Ukraine any time they want. Ukrainians will never stop trying to defend their country. Russia, and Putin specifically, is the one at fault for every single life lost in this war. The fucking gall you have to victim blame Ukraine when they are literally fighting a defensive war against an invader is insane.

Starfield group fixing Bethesda's bugs say their job is tough as mods feel an afterthought (www.eurogamer.net)

“What’s more frustrating for those working on SCP, and the wider Starfield modding community, is how difficult it is to work with Starfield’s code without official modding tools and support. This isn’t helped by the delayed mod tools from Bethesda, which the company says are coming at some point next year.”

Perfide,

I mean, Skyrim SE and FO4 had some level of mod support even on consoles. That was and still is mostly unheard of otherwise.

Perfide,

You could almost say the evolving definition of factoid is in of itself an example of the original definition of a factoid.

Perfide,

Killing the API made modding on mobile harder, but it mostly didn’t affect desktop mod tools. Killing old.reddit would be a huge deal.

Perfide,

Whatever you say, Mr. Tom, a dildo lover.

Even more points if, after closing the video, the video pops back up every time you scroll even a single millimeter back up the page.

Perfide,

Not a theory, the article says a student slipped a note under her door saying “We know your secret”.

Perfide,

What the fuck is with this trend of releasing a great product and then 2-3 generations later nerfing the shit out of the memory bandwidth? Nvidia, Intel, I think AMD, and now Apple are all guilty of this recently.

Perfide,

“9 hour work day” signed at 5:47 PM.

I feel you, dude.

Perfide,

Is there actually any practical use for having a tuner built in still? I haven’t plugged a coax into one of those in like 15 years, it’s always to a set-top box first and then hdmi from that to the tv, and the only reason we have cable at all is because of my dad.

Perfide,

No, Sceptre is an independent company. ONN is Walmarts in-house electronics brand.

Perfide,

Outdoor televisions usually aren’t very good besides being bright and weather resistant.

Perfide,

It bothers me it’s so hard to find one that doesn’t include it, but it doesn’t feel like it’s bloating the price to me, if that’s what you mean. Besides the insistence on the smart shit, TV’s have constantly been getting better, bigger, and yet still cheaper.

It’s unfortunate, but if anything the smart features are part of why they’re staying so cheap. The TV costs the same to make no matter what, but when every company under the sun is paying a fee to have their app baked into the tv, you don’t have to charge the end-user as much to make the same profit. Not to mention the treasure trove of data you can collect(and sell) from the ones who connect it to the internet.

Perfide,

How could a platypus be dastardly? They don’t do much.

Perfide,

Burning Hydrogen produces pure, fresh water, a very scarce resource relatively speaking.

Also, even at scale it’s not even a drop in a bucket compared to the oceans.

Perfide,

There’s over 30 mexican restaurants in my town of less than 30,000 people.

Tokyo is LITERALLY the biggest city in the entire world. 30ish restaurants is absolutely a needle in a haystack.

Perfide,

We probably won’t, to be honest. It’ll end up in the first Martian Museum, if anything.

Perfide,

Can’t compare all the 50 states to full blown countries as most of them have low population.

Sure you can. The least populated US state(Wyoming) has about 50,000 more people than the least populated EU country(Malta). Every single state absolutely can be comparable to at the very least small countries. California alone has one of the highest GDPs in the world.

Perfide,

Lmao what Americans are you talking to?

Perfide,

That’s assuming Putin is still alive in 2027.

Perfide,

So helpful.
