Yeah well you live on a small island that doesnt have much physical resources and has weird wildlife like murder lizards and glow in the dark jellyfish washing up on your beaches and see how your civilization turns out. LoL
Yeah actually i think a steady flow of physical currency moving hands is a great thing. And with the large amount of cheap shops and vending machines they move cash around plenty.
But also i once bought groceries while waiting for a train in japan that involved selecting everything through an app paying ahead digitally and picking it up at a special location right outside the station.
Yeah like its literally the future we dream of complete with respect and re-use of goods that still work with a massive second hand market.
Ok, it really sounds like you are stuck in the skin color as an easy way to say it is racist but like… He kinda looks similar
Like it’s not hard to see where people are pulling it from, sure it’s meant to be inflammatory and hurtful but you have a somewhat heavy set man with big chubby cheeks and tiny lips, a buttony nose that almost looks like Winnie the Pooh’s upside down if it was flesh toned. His pupils are incredibly dark but small giving the same sort of small eyes underneath curving eyebrows.
And to wrap it all together Xi wears high wasted pants trying to cover his pot belly that almost looks like he is wearing a short shirt that puts it on display. They do look like… Just a little alike. Like Elijah wood and Daniel Radcliffe, they don’t really look alike but also it’s not hard to see why people put the 2 together. Especially with the right photo or look.
Is it meant to be a bit insulting to compare him to a pantless stuffed bear… Yeah. Duh. But dude Winnie the Pooh is adorable and if he leaned into that he could have been seen as a sweet softie instead of a guy who’s will jail people for saying it.
LoL that’s such a stretch.
Plus everyone knows Tiggers are marvelous chaps, and loaded with vim and vigor. Tiggers are wonderful things, and so, hardly an insult.
Sure, that’s a great scale if the goal of it is “What should I wear for the climate” and could be fully functional to that purpose with hundreds of degrees of the scale.
What we base scales on are entirely arbitrary and meant to be there for a purpose. If that purpose is clothing than it’s succeeding at it’s job.
The Fahrenheit scale is just based on a person saying that’s what they felt like was absolutely cold and what was hot based on personal feelings and marking thermometers which ones on the market often didn’t even match each other. It was for the people as an emotional barometer to the temp. Celsius is definitely a scientist one which picked a standard but why water? They could have picked so many elements or compounds but had to specify what ocean’s water because they aren’t all equal. It’s all arbitrary. Dance in the nonsense.
This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.
And that is why I pay for things I actually use. And suggest other people do as well. I pirate the stuff that is being removed or I know I can watch free with garbage ads or if I went to goodwill with a dollar but still pay for my music and YouTube. I’ll get a lot out of my hundred bucks I give them a year and my artists know I appreciate them.
People are really used to free. They forget even their servers have costs even. Piracy should be a hobby or used when you don’t have the means because of circumstances beyond your control. Bit an entire fuck everything personality.
You know what? When it comes to cars I can always tell AI by the wheels. Like they are too smooth and always have weird wing nuts or empty voids of spaces. It’s at a glance the wheels were wrong with this one too.
And then your comment pointed out a lot more obvious things. Wooh just a look around this thing is wild.
I use a seedbox to run qBittorrent with Jackett, and have a bunch of sources on there. I know there are other methods, but that works for me and I’m comfortable with it....
It can be about the compression. I know I had downloaded like 4 versions of Your Name because it has been re-encoded by several different groups and sometimes higher resolution with more compression was far worse to look at than lower resolution with good bit rate.
Some people have a magic touch and they just make incredible files and I so want their settings for handbrake when I rip my own media.
LoL I remember in the early 2010s a porn comic that actually did this and people were shocked because it seemed like a lot of work for a small niche thing.
And then we realized that converting to a png and then back to jpg killed the identifier. But the system was in place and I have seen so many versions of and workarounds for it. Someone even had a custom clipper software that just looked for the excess identifier data on the end of the file and would trim it.
I think it’s wise to always think they might be doing this kind of stuff, especially big companies, but breaking it is pretty easy usually even by accident.
A lot of them do it for the dopamine of feeling better about it. Not out of a rational decision to be better. Most people live and die by what gives them their feel good chemicals
No see i think there is a problem with Lemmy. Its not seeking to be a new space that fills a need and slowly expand. Its already trying to be a clone of something else. Hoarders came in and moved in all their junk and now its to full of crap to see or move around in. And the forced identity effect is still happening cause it was built upon a communist graveyard and we are haunted by ghosts of people saying the only way forward is still back.
I can’t fucking believe they leaned into that… Like out of nowhere considering Kong island. And still haven’t brought it back up to do anything with it instead of immediately doing a journey to the center of the earth’s sun monster mash.
Every Costco seems to have a mold problem. If you dont eat or freeze stuff from them that can get moldy expect it to within like 3 days. And this has been true of 3 states
Province makes me think you are in Canada, i will say it gets worse the further south you go and i think it’s a heat and humid air in tue big warehouse where everything is kept all together kinda thing. Further north it gets better in the winter and worse in the summer again but i cant escape the bagels getting moldy within like 3 days of buying them and veggies being limp amd rotting within a similar time depending on which ones i got.
Yeah I’m basically back to 2012 with public torrents and ripping from streaming websites I don’t trust very well. And downloading to an external hard drive that very well might die on me and ruin my day eventually.
But now I have a jellyfin server to watch it on, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
Well dolphins are already being cooked to death in shallow rivers and most of the crabs are gone. Are they fine?
The planet and the concept of organic life will likely be fine but a massive extinction of most life really isn’t “fine” it’s horrific and should be a wake up call at the concept of that amount of loss of life and diversity.
Whatever remains even if humans are part of it would be so vastly different it’s hard to even begin to predict the appearance of it. It’s like saying don’t worry the dinosaurs survived their apocalypse cause that chicken you ate for dinner shared an ancestor.
Best case scenario is a mostly dead planet where we stay in large concrete bunkers all day and eat the phytoplankton blooms on the surface of the ocean that killed most interior life for protein and substance while we hide from the sun… Yay. What a life. And that’s saying no one struggles while drowning and throws bombs around.
I know hope is how people get through all this and you just got to keep it to move forward but like we need to realistically look at the future in order to not just be blinded by a false hope because it’s easier and what is needed to be sold to people so they keep consuming without looking at where it’s leading us.
There isn’t hyperbole in the horrors that happen because we couldn’t get our shit together.
Guys, calm down. It’s just the trolley problem and she decided to pull the lever to save 2 people. If you disagree then you just have a different answer to the problem.
