Go with the flow

It is what it is

Live by the sword, die by the gun

Brunbrun6766, in given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

Rehabilitation has never been the goal. The goal is free labor pool and punishment. The cruelty is the point.

Grivs, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

“You judge yourself by your intentions, but judge others by their actions”

This has helped me with my procrastination and helping to understand co-workers and people in general. Life gets busy and we always mean do get to things, but it’s really on what we actually do and complete that is real.

MashPTater, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

“If worms had machine guns, then birds wouldn’t fuck with them.” A quote from my TI in basic from 85’.

bilboswaggings, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

A teacher of mine said to the class: “You may not like studying for now, but you will regret lacking education for the rest of your life”

So basically trade in half of your childhood to have a better time for most of the rest of your life (yeah work may suck, but with better education you can more easily find something you don’t hate)

dessalines, in What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?

Ernest scared stupid. That troll going around at night, sneaking into kids rooms and turning them into wooden figurines was terrifying to my kid brain.

DumbAceDragon, in What replacement for each major social media do you use
@DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works avatar

I tried Tumblr as a replacement for reddit for a while, but I’m just not really cut out for microblogging, so I came to lemmy.

Lemmyuser_Guest, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

IDM and Jazz

gabriele97, in Why are my subscriptions stuck on "pending"?
@gabriele97@lemmy.g97.top avatar

If you go back and reload the community Page, does it remains stuck in pending?

ChaoticEntropy, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

I almost never allow it

The times you do allow it are all the algorithm cares about, sadly. Any kind of engagement is great for companies.

popemichael, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?
@popemichael@lemmy.world avatar

My number one reason: battery life

Tak,

They could make the battery last 5+ years before degradation if they made the phones a bit thicker to get the same battery life with lithium iron phosphate cells instead of lithium ion cells. They also don’t turn into spicy pillows or catch fire really too if that means anything to you.

I really don’t understand the obsession with having the thinnest possible phone but also selling $2,000 folding phones that are thick as hell.

popemichael,

That’s why I support the “right to repair”

Sadly a lot of devices are losing that ability by design

Tak,
@Tak@lemmy.ml avatar

I believe it’s all intentional and I blame capitalism.

popemichael,
@popemichael@lemmy.world avatar

Its less of a belief and more of a fact at this point.

Its still really sad either which way

Ser_Salty,

Selling the thinnest phone, but ship it with a silicone case because the thin-ness makes it too fragile. And also one bit of the phone will just be thicker anyway.

It seems almost like parody. Phones are literally too thin for their own components. If anybody knows of a decent line of phones that aren’t overly skinny, please let me know for when I need a new phone.

@SteefLem@lemmy.world avatar

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Beuller

So true

DRUMS_, in What is a beautiful concept or idea that continues to blow your mind?

Alan Watts contextualizes our daily lives as the outer, “fine spray” at the edge of the big bang --still exploding. Planets “people-ing” and your daily schedule, relationships, accuisition of goods, etc. is just the complex late stage of the big bang explosion. The explosion is chaos but as time goes by order slips in and creates “complexity”. This is all still an explosion.

JimmyDean, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Legitimately almost every genre, as long as I’m the mood. Lately tho I’ve mostly been listening to The Fall of Troy, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and good ole Pro Era artists like Capital Steez and Joey Bada$$.
