Battle_Masker, in Birds are great

not a naughty name, but I wonder what was the scientist who named “Yellow-bellied sapsucker” was going through

Klear,

My favourite is the grey go-away-bird.

Chetzemoka,

That’s just mockingbirds though. Lol

Chetzemoka,

That’s just mockingbirds though. Lol

rockerface,

That one at least makes sense, if they’re drinking tree sap and have yellow feathers on their belly

funkless, (edited )

I mean the other names make sense with additional context

Both Tit- and Cock- as prefixes used to mean small (no laughing in the back, please)

And Hoary means grey-haired or old-looking

edit as I had to look this one up: “Booby” is an ellision of “Bobo” - as in “No seas tan bobo” (Spanish) - meaning “silly, naive, dumb…” as they tend to be quite tame birds

Karyoplasma,

Doesn’t bobo also mean stupid or idiot in Tagalog?

Amends1782,

Probably , because so much Spanish is Infused into Tagalog

Alexstarfire, in I love concerts. I do not love standing room only.

I’ve never been a fan of standing for concerts. But I especially hate fuckers who buy the seats in front of me then stand up most of the concert. IF YOU WANTED TO STAND THERE WERE DEDICATED PLACES THAT WOULDN’T OBSTRUCT MY VIEW.

Rubanski,

I can only assume standing tickets were sold out

Homeless exist to remind the rest of the serfs that they better go back to the coal mine or they’ll end up just like them.

RichCaffeineFlavor,

And police exist to keep them suppressed, disorganized and desperate

cricket98,

not really, more like they exist to help prevent people from getting stabbed from a meth addicted homeless person who is convinced you are satan trying to steal their soul

RichCaffeineFlavor,

80’s crime world movies are fascist propaganda by the way. This person is demonstrating how popular culture is also political.

There is a such thing as a crazy madman killer in our society. They’re called school shooters, and they live in the suburbs. The cartoon that exists in this person’s head about what homelessness is and who it’s a danger to didn’t come out of thin air.

cricket98,

80’s crime world movies are fascist propaganda by the way.

We’ve really turned the word “fascist propaganda” to mean anything that goes against your worldview. There are definitely crazed homeless people who do not care one bit about committing needless violence. I’ve experienced it first hand. Back when I lived in NYC there were some of the absolutely most deranged people I’ve ever seen in my life, one guy stabbed a indian knick knack stall owner with a piece of glass for legitimately no reason. The guy almost died. It is what it is, but I think burying your head in the sand is not really a viable way forward.

RichCaffeineFlavor,

Lol calling everything fascist propaganda

Anyway as I was saying there’s inherently evil people out there and we need a police response to keep them suppressed for the safety of the good people of whom I and maybe(?) you are one.

helpImTrappedOnline, (edited ) in If only dreams came true

Reminded me of an old joke, (no idea it’s origins.)

A programmer finds a genie -

genie “You have 3 wishes”

Man: “I wish for a trillion dollars”

Genie “done”

Man “I wish I had a hot girlfriend”

Genie “dude just ask your crush.”

Man “I’m scared of planes, so I wish for a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive there”

Genie “come on, do you realize how much engineering and logistics that will take. Not to mention all the international permits I’ll have to deal with. Try something easier”

Man “okay, ummm…I wish my program UI was understood by everyone who uses it”

Genie “how many lanes?”

There is already an order of magnitude more unused housing than unhoused people- the problem is that the market is involved and that requires winners and losers.

That’s why you have people dying of exposure in the richest country in the history of the world. God damn america.

G-give…away? N-n-no money for me?? But money me, now. Money now. Money! House = money! Empty house, no money is ok, full house no money NOT OK!

MooseBoys,

Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.

Sarmyth,

Are the homeless people where the empty homes are? That’s the concern I have. There are really cheap empty houses throughout the country, but the homeless are congregate in large groups in some of the most expensive states/cities in the country. I dont think there are that many empty homes in San Francisco that are available for rent/purchase that are just being left empty for months at a time.

Where are people sourcing that information from?

Diva,
@Diva@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s off the aggregate numbers. I’m sure that there’s a lot of useless suburban sprawl pumping the numbers up. The “most efficient system” is an abject failure when it comes to housing people unless the only metric you care about is revenue generation for shithead inheritors.

db2, (edited ) in Thanks brain.

Your brain can’t feel. It’s the rest of your head that feels it, associated with the dysfunctions that happen in your actual brain when it’s swollen.

Edit: your brain has no pain sensing capability itself. It’s a fact.

Rachelhazideas,

As someone with fibromyalgia, I have to disagree.

db2,

Facts don’t care. Your brain does not feel pain because it literally can’t.

riodoro1,

Facts about subjective things such as pain actually care.

Rachelhazideas,

Christ you sound like an insufferable 10 year old with your ‘facts don’t care’. If you had actually read what you linked, you would have read the part where it specifies that the brain is what perceives pain even if it itself does not contain nociceptors. Claiming that the brain ‘does not feel pain’ is nothing more than semantic click bait.

As someone having lived years with unending pain and central sensitization, I find it hilarious someone telling me my brain ‘does not feel pain because it literally can’t’. Oh what I would give to be this healthy and naive again.

db2,

You’re an idiot.

freewheel,

And you’re an inflexible, unfeeling waste of cells. I hope for your sake you never have to deal with chronic health issues. Somehow, I don’t think you’ll be able to handle it.

you are your brain. You feel pain, therefore your brain feels pain. It doesn’t have any pain receptors in the organ of the brain, but it interprets and feels signals from those receptors throughout your body.

Edit: it can also feel sadness, anger, hatred, depression, etc. All of which could be called being in pain. You wouldn’t tell a depressed person on a ledge that they’re not in pain

Google tries to make many messaging standards and programs

All fail because of mismanagement

This is supposed to be Apple’s problem?

nao,

It’s not about Apple or Google. There just needs to be a common standard.

It’s not Android users who are getting ugly green text boxes on their phones.

N200L,

Google didn’t create RCS. The idea was floated in 2008 and in 2009 the GSM association (Non-profit, representing 700+ mobile carriers across the world) began directing the project. Since then 47 mobile network operators, 11 equipment manufacturers, and 2 operating system companies (Google & Microsoft) have pledged their support for RCS.

In fact, Google only started implementing RCS in 2019 whereas Samsung has been releasing phones since 2012 with RCS. Now RCS is actively used by over 88 operators in 59 countries with almost 400,000,000 daily users.

tl;dr - Apple not using RCS is Apple’s problem when the rest of the world does.

ursakhiin,

Apple could open up iMessage.

I don’t even know why they’re called conservatives if they don’t conserve anything other than their frail egos.

Afghaniscran,

They’re conserving their bank accounts and conserving the traditional values of 300 years ago.

Tak,
@Tak@lemmy.ml avatar

But traditionally women weren’t allowed to portray women. Men had to dress in drag to portray women. If they are all for traditional values then I demand more dresses on more men.

Afghaniscran,

I like your style

spudwart,
@spudwart@spudwart.com avatar

Except when it comes to time to practice said traditional values. Then its “You need to live ??? miles away from your current home to work and break up your family”, “You must drive this late 19th century 2-ton death machine to get anywhere.”, “You can only afford to eat this synthetic imitation bread.”, “Everything must have lactose in it, or our economy will suffer.”, “We need to get used to the new normal of regular shootings, to do otherwise is an attack on our freedoms and our…”

What about XMPP?

WaxiestSteam69, in Google now

Didn’t we already have this for a breid shining moment with XMPP before Google and others broke it?

nao,

It’s not broken though. They broke their own forks of it.

driving_crooner, (edited )
@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

Google basically Embrace, Expand, Extinguished XMPP.

hai,
@hai@lemmy.ml avatar

Only “basically”!?

WaxiestSteam69,

“Broke” isn’t really tye right word. The protocol exists and could be used but companies like Google added proprietary atuff that made it impossible to use it as an open universal “system”.
