  • Nah, more like:

    Man: Washes hair daily. That's it.

    Woman: Only washes/wets hair sometimes. Uses lots and lots of various chemicals to force various styles. Lots of blow drying. Hair dyes. Then wonders why hair is obviously chemically and physically damaged.

    The problem is most women put TOO much effort into their hair, trying to make it things it's not, and end up damaging it. Men tend to keep it short and simple and their hair doesn't end up as damaged.

    Also, you notice the Fabio guys a lot more than you notice the broccoli haired dorks. You remember that one hot guy more than you remember the dozens of unkempt ones. Add in that people who can't grow nice long hair tend to keep it short and you have all kinds of selection biases.

  • ICE agent shooter’s own cellphone video undercuts Trump administration's account of Minneapolis killing

  • Body cam would be something you could subpoena easier. Phone would be his personal property and he can upload that video anywhere he wants and give it to whomever he wants. Consider we have this video because he sent it to an conservative media outlet trying to get sympathy. We have this video because he's a fucking moron.

  • I'd fear for my life and safety if I ever came across an ICE roadblock from now on. I'd feel unsafe stopping. Take that as you will.

  • What pissed me off, especially on places like Reddit, is the "no doxxing" rule. YOU CANT DOXX A PUBLIC SERVANT. Part of being a government worker is transparency and accountability. You can't hide behind anonymity.

    The concept of doxxing goes way back before people tied their real identity to their online one. "Doxxing" or "providing documents" is the act of tying someone's real life identity to their anonymous one against their will. It is not identifying someone in public or using it to shield them from due criticism for their actions.

    You can't do that with people who are supposed to be unmasked in the first place, and are legally required to identify themselves as government agents as part of their job. It's not "doxxing", it's basic fucking accountability and transparency.

    When Luigi happened we knew everything about his life. This happens and we don't know who this asshat is. It's complete bullshit. Any outlet protecting this piece of shit when they would air the dirty laundry of me and you out for the whole world in a heartbeat needs to be blacklisted.

    Edit: That fuckers name is Jonathan Ross. He murdered Renee Nicole Good. May he know no peace.

  • Do you like Astronomy? I'm looking for people who would want to hunt asteroids with me! :)

  • What did you stupidly believe as a child?

    Jump

  • Same! That's why I wanted to be a sci-fi actor 😂

    Oh, and time skips were real! When you saw a flashback or something, that was actually filmed years ago and then they waited until the actors got older and filmed the rest. I assumed there were crazy logistical hurdles to get this to work but it was all real.

  • What did you stupidly believe as a child?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I basically assumed that if you died as a henchman or something, you had a really bad agent or people just didn't like you. Only the A-list actors got to have their big moment dying. But I did believe that the payout was enough to take care of your surviving family, which is why people did it. Kinda some weird ass hunger games type idea way before the books ever existed lol

    Henchmen who got shot were like a special class of stunt double in my mind. They were paid to get shot and then have surgery and recover just to do it again in another movie. I did think they had a limit to how many "lethal" stunts they could do before they had to retire or go out on one last insane stunt.

    I always wanted to be an actor so I could be a sci-fi actor and get to go to space. I thought those were the luckiest people.

  • What did you stupidly believe as a child?

    Jump

  • I believed number 1 as well! I took it even further because I didn't understand "acting" fully. I thought it was actually that to be a "doctor actor", you basically just trained to be both and then they followed you around with a camera while you actually did all of those things. So everyone in a show/movie was actually their profession or something close to it.

    Deaths were different for me tho. I thought that as an actor, you decided when you died by taking said part. So it was up to each actor to choose the best death scene for themselves because it would be the only one they got. Better actors got offered better deaths while lesser actors only got to die as henchmen and whatnot. There was a whole life insurance/payout idea that played into all of this. But basically I thought actors fought for the prestige of dying on camera in the coolest ways possible.

  • I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?

    Jump

  • Frankly it doesn't matter because if you're close enough to need anti radiation meds, the lack of food, water, power, and shelter will be a much more pressing issue. The gist of my comment was supposed to be "go buy these pills for peace of mind because that's about the only 'preperation' you can do for nuclear war. Really you should just relax and live your life".

  • Why, because I can read? 😂

    Jump

  • It has both tags listed on the store page, both in the tags and in the game description. OP just can't read or didn't bother to look.

  • Arc raiders is a horrible game

    Jump

  • You were saying?

    It's clear you didn't actually read the page, or check reviews, or check any of the communities, or do any basic research before buying the game. Your "complaints" can be summed up as "uninformed consumer". What do you think an extraction shooter even is?

    If this were a review on Steam I'd mark is as unhelpful and give it the 🤡 award.

  • I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?

    Jump

  • Buy potassium iodide tablets. If it happens and it's too close, you won't even know. If it isn't too close, take the pills and become a wasteland raider.

    Otherwise just live your life because nothing you do really matters concerning nuclear war. That's like worrying about an asteroid impact.

  • What should I do if my violent brother is threatening to kill my parents (who I financially depend on and live with) and they aren't taking it seriously?

  • wish i had more time and energy for good digital

    Jump

  • Well, I try to come here to keep up to date with what's going on with the world and my experience is generally this is the second or third place that news "breaks". By the time it hits Lemmy, it's basically outdated.

    So seeing a handful of posts that are out of date with barely any actual discussion going on is pretty useless. I find myself checking Lemmy once or twice a day, seeing there's nothing worth being here for, and leaving. That's not how you grow a community.

  • wish i had more time and energy for good digital

    Jump

  • That's all fine and dandy until your block list is a mile long and you only get a handful of posts a day anymore because that's what you're left with when you filter out the furries, anime porn, ragebait, OMG LINUX, thigh high socks, etc. The OP is right, Lemmy has just as much of a content problem as any other place and the blame is largely on the users.

    At least on Reddit, despite its massive flaws, I get actual discussion that's more than a sentence or two of "I agree bad guy is bad!" The amount of low effort engagement in here is atrocious.

  • No because auto response messages are ONE message, not two as shown in the fake convo here. However, most DND settings have a "repeat caller within 15 minutes" feature that will bypass the DND settings for emergencies. Some might have it for texts as well, but I'm not sure on that part.

  • Concrete is a big contributor to climate change. Penn researchers say they can shrink its footprint

    Jump

  • Seriously, I'm so sick of articles posted in this community always having this bias. "It doesn't get adopted cus people are stupid". No there are actual reasons, but painting it as "the other side is just lazy/dumb" makes you look like an ass. This isn't a community to talk about climate change, this is a community to feel self righteous. The amount of misinformation that gets posted in this community is insane.
