  • Trump finally just says that some immigrants are genetically inferior

    Jump

  • Did I?

    those who feed the primitive ape brain for their own selfish purposes.

    I wasn't talking about your home grown racist. I was talking about the ones feeding that division for their own power and profit.

    My point is that our ape brains have an inclination towards Us vs Them. Education and socialization combats this base instinct, but there will always be people who aim to counteract those efforts so they can easily manipulate the chimp brains for their own gain.

  • Trump finally just says that some immigrants are genetically inferior

    Jump

  • Because we're chimps. Tribalism is in our DNA. And unfortunately, education and socialization doesn't simply solve the problem.

    There will always be a battle against those who feed the primitive ape brain for their own selfish purposes.

    That is human nature in a nutshell.

  • Former Google CEO on AI data centers' environmental impact: "We're not going to hit the climate goals anyway"

    Jump

  • Especially the irony that they're ruining the environment in an attempt to replace human jobs with AI.

    It's a double "fuck you" to the working/middle class.

  • 'Very sinister': Trump stuns Republicans and Dems with on-air 'bad genes' rant

    Jump

  • Well, his dad was a nazi too, so maybe he thinks it's his genes that made him this way.

  • As of Sept 19th, we are at 50 school shootings!

  • I think those kids are drinking age now

  • Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim

    Jump

  • Because we should wipe away 2 decades of history and pretend the next thing is flawless on release?

    Edge came in with a freight train of baggage, and didn't make it. It's absurd to frame this otherwise.

  • Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim

    Jump

  • And Google established a lot of the standards that were both open and long living.

    Yeah, Google has strayed far from the "Do no evil" philosophy in the last decade. But this rewriting of history to praise IE and demonfy Chrome from that era is ridiculous.

  • Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim

    Jump

  • Rofl. So let's white wash the browser history before chrome, then. Back when IE reigned supreme. You must either be too young or not in the industry to champion that.

  • Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim

    Jump

  • So Google establishing a now industry standard of evergreen versioning so that they could iterate relatively quickly on features, rather than have to maintain compatibility with years old versions, and iterating quickly on their own major websites - is a bad thing?

    Right.

    Yeah, let's go back to having to maintain terrible legacy browsers that behaved completely differently for the rest of time.

    Edit - rofl. Bunch of revisionists here on Lemmy.

    EdgeHtml released 2015.

    But sure, Google has been doing shitty things lately so let's retroactively change history and make Microsoft the browser hero? Right.

  • MAGAts be all ...

    Jump

  • Yeah, the one saying that was claiming that after your initial deprecation after driving off the lot, trucks tend to hold their value for a long time. So might as well.

    He's also the guy that's last minute panicking about saving for retirement in his 50s.

    Go figure.

  • MAGAts be all ...

    Jump

  • I just picked up an early 2000s used truck because I have a hobby where a truck bed is useful. $7500.

    People were trying to tell me that I should get a new one, I can resale it in a few years and it'll retain it's value.

    I don't need a shiny new truck. I'm going to throw wood and sheet goods in the back. And I can actually see out of the damn thing, unlike anything recent.

  • A school district in Pennsylvania approved nearly $9,000 ‘to cut windows into the ‘gender-identity’ student bathrooms so passerby can look inside’

    Jump

  • Yep, the people whose entire personality is combating the "woke liberal left".

    You know, the people they portray is foaming at the mouth woke crusaders. When in actuality, 95% of left voters consist of people who don't give a shit about all this besides listening to the oppressed minorities problems and proposed solutions, and showing the smallest amount of empathy.

    "Oh damn, I didn't realize you dealt with that shit. Yeah, ok, gender neutral bathrooms are cool. Whatever you need, doesn’t bother me."

    Right: "screeeeeeeee!!!"

  • It's almost like building regulations are there to protect the people at the cost of unscrupulous businesses.

    But nah, regulations bad. Free market will reward builders that voluntarily do things right.

    Suuuure.

  • A global housing crisis is suffocating the middle class

    Jump

  • What a dishonest argument.

    There's a world of difference from someone barely getting by, living paycheck to paycheck, versus a middle class worker well into their career, able to afford minor luxuries and still squirrel away money for savings and retirement.

    I am middle class. I am 20 years into my career. I make comparatively good money.

    But due to not prioritizing buying property, I've pretty much missed my window. I can qualify for a mortgage, have the 20% down-payment, but the monthly payment would pretty much wipe me out, costing around $3k more per month than renting.

    If I were at this point in my career 20 years ago, I could have easily afforded a house comfortably.

    That is what we're talking about when we talk about the housing crisis for specifically the middle class.

  • Essentially a very large faucet

  • Wow.

    She's not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that's even remotely plausible or effective.

    But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.

  • Essentially a very large faucet

    Jump

  • Yeah. Seems like listening to speeches and debates in their entirety, or a basic understanding of past actions, should be a prerequisite for anyone to hold a strong opinion for or against either side. But we know that's not the case for the vast majority of people who hold very strong political opinions. And they're also reliable voters.

  • Essentially a very large faucet

    Jump

  • Because they themselves are idiots. Either because they hear what he says and believe it, or because they only consume the propaganda that omits this word vomit entirely.

  • Mike Lindell claims ignorance over neo-Nazi symbolism in MyPillow prices

    Jump

  • I don't think he's stupid enough not to know what those numbers mean. The crowds he hangs out with, there is zero doubt he has seen those tattoos on more than a few faces in the MAGA crowds.

    I don't necessarily think he was even aware of the price tag, or thought about a proposed sale enough to notice. I think the chances this was one of his nazi employees is higher than him setting his own sales price himself.

    He doesn't seem to be coherent enough to be running day to day things like that, when his focus is getting in front of any camera willing to record him.

  • Their best man is such a dog

  • My wife and I had two llamas (dressed in bride and groom outfits) in our wedding.

    Our wedding planner tried to talk us out of having them in the ceremony. "They'll distract from your special moment"

    "Have you been to a wedding? They'll love the distraction."
