The venn diagram of people who play music on speakers in public and people who are a thin thread away from stabbing you is a circle.

Also, I live in the US, so the medical fees for getting stabbed is not worth the risk.

Tvkan,

Also, I live in the US,

The first paragraph made that clear.

BingoBangoBongo,

I was gonna say that. The guy with the speaker is also the one asking you for coke or heroin on the L.

FluffyPotato, in Just no

This was the case when I checked out crunchyroll years ago, there were so many shows that didn’t have season 1 in my country and well the selection was abysmal to begin with.

Hiro8811,

The high seas are free matey

FluffyPotato,

Oh yea, streaming services have never had much of a selection in my country so the high seas are the only option and Plex combined with sickchill and couchpotato are a better user experience too.

This is just “both sides are equally wrong/bad.”

WhiteHawk,

Idk about equally, but often enough, both sides are indeed wrong.

Holzkohlen,

“Enlightened centrists”. I make fun of you people constantly.

Xer0,

Nothing wrong with accepting that both sides of anything have good and bad shit going on. I couldn’t imagine just blindly following one side 100% even when they can also do questionable stuff.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, but the problem is that rather than arguing the finer points of how to combat climate change, for example, we have to argue about whether truth is truth.

WhiteHawk,

Yes, because you’re so blinded by your indoctrination that you can’t accept the flaws of “your” side.

ImFresh3x, (edited )

“Climate change exists”

“Religion shouldn’t allow governments to prevent basic healthcare needs”

“January 6 was a failed insurrection”

These are the things that the right calls indoctrination.

And the hard left calls not important enough to bother voting.

WhiteHawk,

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here

Aabbcc,

There are leftists that get things wrong

teichflamme,

It makes you look stupid tho

SuperSaiyanSwag,

Maybe I’m too naive, but I didn’t think they were referring to just politics. They were just referring to two people arguing.

samus12345, (edited )
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You know, I think you’re right. I’m so used to the phrase “both sides” meaning a specific thing it didn’t register as anything else. If it had been phrased “both sides of an argument” I would have understood.

bartolomeo,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

Does it normally refer to politics? Maybe for Americans, and they are responsible for a good deal of the English language content online. Right, and the 2 party system…

I’m with you, though, both sides means both sides of an argument. I think the news had something on that a while back- for every climate scientist they interviewed, they had to also interview a climate denier to present a “fair and balanced” view XD

TWeaK, in Decided by fate
V0lD,

God I hate untagged YouTube links. You think you’re clicking on an image or an article, but nope! And now YouTube thinks you watched a random video and your recommendations get infected with garbage outside of your normally watched channels

TWeaK, (edited )

There are plenty of ways to check a link before you click on it. Hover over, long press and copy, or view source.

If you don’t want to ever click on YouTube links then set your device to block them. That’s your responsibility.

neptune, in Oh No, anyway

Learn about one religion and you may become faithful. Learn about many and you may become an atheist.

There’s some truth and some idiocy behind this meme. Just because, for example, the US political system tends toward a two party system, does not mean you can always or always not find some amount of truth or good ideas based on what two parties tell you. In fact, the framing is irrelevant toward truth, and is even it’s own type of bias. There are certainly some third rails neither side of a debate will touch, or some things both find the need to lie about. But in some cases someone is sort of right about something and sometimes people are just wrong.

sus,

Or a syncretist.

EatYouWell,

Except the right’s platform no longer has any aspect of it that’s correct. They abandoned the conservative platform ages ago and went full fascist.

Blue_Morpho,

Be careful careful about arguing that on lemmy.world. I argued for a bit with a “both sides are bad”, eventually called them out for being a Putin puppet, and got my post deleted by a Lemmy.world mod.

    TheDoctorDonna, (edited ) in One of my back teeth is aching at the moment

    If you have a cavity that you can’t afford to deal with go get some clove oil ( yes, I know how people feel about essential oils and I usually agree- but this is legit) and cotton swabs. Soak the swab in the oil to excess and then put the swab in the cavity and squeeze the excess oil into the cavity. This is going to taste like you ate a thousand pounds of cinnamon and your mouth might water- a lot, but clove oil is a dentist approved antiseptic. You have to be careful, it can burn your face skin if you get it anywhere unintended.

    I have been slowly losing my teeth over the past decade and am too broke to fix it, so I had to rely on clove oil between being able to afford extractions. It helped a lot. If the oil doesn’t work then the infection is too far gone and you need good antibiotics. They wouldn’t even be able to extract a tooth that bad.

    Madison420,

    Go to dental schools, way cheaper, have payment plans and insurance companies usually comp it fully.

    TheDoctorDonna,

    And rarely available, and far away for most people. Getting in to a dental school for complicated work is like winning the lottery.

    ChewTiger,

    They are not talking about going to school but having people at the school do the dental work.

    TheDoctorDonna,

    I know… There are 10 dental schools in Canada, the odds of getting in to one to have any work done are almost literally like winning the lottery. I’m sure it’s not much better in the U.S. plus you have to be lucky enough to live near one. The nearest major city to me is 8 hours away. And typically you have to fit within an income threshold, which we don’t as we are a two income household with benefit, albeit benefits that are quite limited.

    Ah the good ole days when children and infants were dying left and right, a splinter could mean a slow painful death by infection, and the local doctor prescribes drilling a hole in your head to release bad spirits

    flop_leash_973,

    Don’t forget the “bloodletting”. Got to get that bad blood out along with the head spirits.

    Did it at the gym once, was watching a show while doing cardio with my headphones and could hear another guy’s music over it. I just yelled without stopping what I was doing “Hey bud, no one wants to listen to your music, use headphones!” and the guy could see everyone’s smirk, he got the message.

    tygerprints, in Oh No, anyway

    Both sides can be misinformed but, it doesn't mean you need to react negatively to someone else's viewpoint. If you disagree there's nothing wrong with saying "I disagree because I think that....." or "I've read that...." and you don't have to call the other person a nasty derogatory name.

    haui_lemmy,

    You‘re new here, right? Keep that positive attitude as long as you can.

    tygerprints,

    Actually I wrote that because I am not new to this stuff at all. Just kind of fed up with always getting called names just because sometimes I post things that arent the most popular view or are different ways of looking at things. I'm OK with people saying "I don't agree" if they can explain why without also adding "you idiot" or "you fucking idiot" onto the end. I try to be civil, but am always surprised how people respond with uncalled for name calling.

    bartolomeo,
    @bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

    You’re right. There is zero benefit to being an asshole, especially for the person being an asshole. Ego makes it tempting though.

    tygerprints,

    I can see where it's not just tempting but seems necessary sometimes, but all you're gonna do is bait the person into a useless bout of name calling back and forth.

    lolcatnip,

    If you’ve previously identified one side as consisting of pathological liars, it’s best to ignore whatever they say because the more you hear from them, the more likely you are to accidently believe one of their lies. It takes a lot of vigilance to listen to a bunch of plausibly-true statements without misremembering some of them as being true.

    paddirn, in Oh No, anyway

    “Understanding is a three-edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth.”

    Cano,

    My side is that vaccines do NOT cause autism.

    Their side is that vaccines DO cause autism.

    So the truth is that vaccines cause autism sometimes?

    30p87, (edited )

    Plot twist: Autism is causing vaccines /s

    haui_lemmy,

    Not even that far fetched. A lot of inventors are thought to have been autistic.

    lolcatnip,

    There’s an xkcd about precisely that observation.

    milicent_bystandr, (edited )

    Just to be safe, I’m going to assume cancer causes mobile phones.

    HikingVet, (edited )

    No, Autism isn’t caused by vaccines but the risk of vaccines for everyone is not zero. It’s just the amount of people affected are in the .00X% or .000X% range.

    Cano,

    Yeah I know, I tried (and failed?) to be funny

    blanketswithsmallpox,

    No, you had it just fine. You’ll find that an abnormally large amount of ND people hang out on Lemmy though. So many angry comments from people who used to reddit but they’re just angrily agreeing with you the whole time. Like… K lol.

    CoggyMcFee,

    You succeeded. Your audience failed to have a sense of humor.

    cooopsspace,

    My side is that many great doctors are autistic, therefore autism causes vaccines.

    Johanno,

    No the truth is scientifically proven that they don’t(at least those that are certified in the EU)

    Your side may overlap with the truth.

    Why is it always the worst rap music imaginable? Like, I’m a hip hop fanatic, old school, new school, trap, g funk, boom bap, conscious, etc. But why is it the most asinine “i took a xanny now i’m fucking your girl” type shit?

    Madison420, (edited )

    You don’t enjoy “Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci, fucked yo girl on a Tuesday, Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci, I made poopies on yo boobies, Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci.”

    For real when did brands become choruses?

    Tvkan,
    Madison420,

    That’s not at all the same, since it’s part of the chorus and follows a rhyming scheme that isn’t just rhyming itself.

    LSNLDN,

    I often wonder if they get sponsored, like all these AP and Rolex on drill wrappers wrists they rap about idk, seems so specific sometimes

    Empricorn,

    Is that really a lyric!?

    Madison420, (edited )

    No it’s a joke about a megos song.
