Chunk, to memes in 10/10

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-00:00

THE ONE TRUE FORMAT

Chunk, to memes in If you only criticize civilian casualties when Palestine resists, then your concern isn't civilian casualties. Your concern is Palestine resisting massacre.

This meme is dank and if you don’t like politics that’s totally fine but you don’t get to dictate to others what this community is about.

Chunk, to upliftingnews in Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found.

It’s nice that homeless people were able to enjoy a significantly higher quality of life but inflation made my latte $7 so I don’t think we should be giving away free handouts.

/s

I put that /s because you ravenous Lemmy commies can’t read sarcasm even if it was written by Marx. I’m onto you guys 😉

Chunk, to memes in History

This is probably the third meme in two days where the top comment says it’s not a meme.

These pedantic Lemmy nerd fights remind me of how I learned so much on early reddit reading similar arguments.

I read a lot about this and I have a friend who does social work with homeless people.

There are so many different situations for homeless people. The ones who can better their situation with $1k/mo are truly down on their luck. They need a boost and they can get back on their feet. These are the “invisible homeless” because they are generally ashamed of their situation.

Then you have crackheads. The money won’t help them.

Then you have the mentally ill. They need medical treatment. Cash is less important.

Finally, you have people who have given up. They don’t want to leave their tent. They’ve been homeless so long it’s their life. They prefer it. It’s familiar. I don’t know how money affects this situation.

Chunk, to memes in Germans

During Covid they were talking about letting people back on planes if everyone wore a mask. I told a friend that’s ridiculous, the total volume of air will be filled with corona virus, the mask doesn’t stop the virus it just projects the virus upwards.

Friend lost his shit. Called me a science denier and legitimately thought I was a right wing lunatic. The guy is a Staff software engineer at Meta. We rarely talk anymore which is too bad but also maybe for the best.

Chunk, to memes in UBI works too

Okay all you commies get ready for politics 101

First don’t rely on morals to make your argument. It, unfortunately, does not change capitalist minds.

Second, frame your argument in capitalist rhetoric. For example you can say, “UBI is important to stimulate the economy by enabling Low-Income-Americans to spend more on essentials.”

Seriously, not joking, this is how you change people’s minds.

People who insist on pushing themselves into every possible corner of society will focus on anything that is unequal no matter how meaningless.

Chunk, to memes in I hope you have a wonderful night!

They know it’s not 89°. They are messing with the perfectionists and a bunch of you took the bait.

Hey please don’t reply to my comments. Thanks!

Chunk, to memes in ba dum tss

Oh my God I have a story about this.

Our entire company wants metric. The guidance folk want to do their modeling in metric. The prop team wants to do fluid/thermo in metric. The structures team wants to do load analysis in metric.

But the boys at the 'pad are imperial only. The water system, fuel tanks, all ground infra is in imperial. If someone runs down to the hardware store they can easily find a fitting, gasket, or o ring in imperial. But metric? Good luck.

So our company decided to support both. The flight computer and ground software did unit conversions, everything was unit-aware, telemetry was occasionally manually converted because the onscreen wasn’t the right unit. We had written our own turing complete, inhouse programming language and we ended up implementing dual-static typing. We had float, int, bool and then we had units where some operations required the units to be the same thing. So cm and inch but not inch and kilogram.

The project was terribly mismanaged. To this day some still wonder why.

There is a History of the Byzantines podcast and it talks about the political maneuvering in the empire and church. They had political parties and each party had separate religious beliefs and that was important for how church doctrine evolved.

It’s so incredibly political it’s unbelievable. It’s like “I want to be emperor so I will agree to whatever those guys say so I can gain their political support”. And now hundreds of millions of people think that’s the word of God when really it’s the back alley dealings of Justinian.

Chunk, to asklemmy in Do you interact more in Lemmy?

They are both filled with very ill informed people. I guess that’s all of the Internet though. People who have no clue are the first to give their opinions. The topics that are started by “low information voters” are often most popular with other low information voters.
