If anything, this thread kind of shows how much people fail to get informed about their smartphone before they buy one.
Literally every single one of these features is available on the market. Most of those phones are actually the quality stuff, like the German produced Gigaset/Volla, or the Dutch (assembled?) Fairphone. But no, you have to go out of your way to get the bottom of the barrel Iphone and Samsung made in China.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
Kind of a misunderstanding. Its not “law” they lay down, its archetypes. If it is realistic it means more like it is more relatable.
Immortality and immense power is meant to give a sandbox view of the world with lowered consequences. Also the naive inheritor in case of Invincible.
In case of The Boys, Homelander embodies the establishment that is not only more powerful, but hailed as the hero of all mankind.
Thats lots of peoples vibes. You are not the hero in shining armor. You are an insurgent at best. You dont just get on a suit and start saving lives, but you have to go up aganist THE establishment and fucking prove yourself first. The very thing that is being actively hailed.
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
I kind of feel the opposite. Most people I know is wary of “destroying nature”.
I think meh. It is just getting streamlined. We are getting for the next phase of human civilization. We are more like an organism with white blood cells and well separated and controlled compartments of bacteria filled sacks. It is bound to get more homogenous.
Higher civilization means the meaning of biodiversity will change domains.
If people really distanced themselves from religion like they say, then the Bible would be one of the greatest fucking fiction books literature ever produced.
You could very easily get ambien prescription at that point. Its like a benzo that has not life threatening addiction issues attached to it. It was very useful for me to get to sleep. It actually makes you sleep better.
Exploitative first half of 20th century factory working conditions with steampunk aesthetics scream Britain for me.
Thinking of America just shows that the reader has no proper contextual (historical) knowledge. Britain was on its zenith, literally the first superpower that existed ever. Literally had sway over colonies larger than the US.
Being cocksure and clueless kind of go badly with each other interpreting imaginative work from the last century or before.
Still, the idea of Dalai lama is ingenious. Panchen Lama searches for Dalai Lama, Dalai Lama searches for Panchem lama.
Panchem Lama can only ever appoint a Boy as the Dalai Lama, once the previous one died. The next Panchem Lama can only ever be appointed once the current one dies. There is not much room for rampant nepotism and generationally growing corruption or power shift.
Also, I find it a totally valid theory for consciousness to be continual. Although not in an “exactly this guy comes next” way.
What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost? (lemmy.world)
For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up
Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window. (lemmy.zip)

What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?
