For serious comments, my true audience is the unknown reader. For jokes, my audience is myself alone.

Lemmy dev suggestions: Remove all downvotes. User blocks should keep the blockee from seeing the blocker.

  • Ethical treatment of animals - people excluded

  • Seems to be a false dilemma. They ignore the idea that you can eat your friends.

  • If you look at a single incident and try to assign blame, you'll likely never be satisfied with any answer. However, if you look at this as a category of incidents, then it's actually quite easy to find ways to reduce the number of occurrences.

    For example, for drug related offenses, you could be looking at solutions like decriminalizing drugs and offering more social programs. Lab tests with rats have shown that when the rats have a strong community, they will naturally stop abusing drugs. It wouldn't be surprising if the same thing works with humans. We should be spending government money to encourage the development of caring communities.

    For mental health related offenses, the same sorts of things can help. Having support can be the difference between life and death. Although psych meds can be lifesavers, the government needs to invest not only in pharmaceuticals and making pharmaceutical companies rich, but in treating the person.

    And it goes without saying, but the violent sort of fascist rhetoric that we constantly see from the GOP and MAGA in particular, shouldn't be tolerated from our politicians. Ideally, I'd like to say the same for news, but that's a more difficult problem to solve.

  • Are you my brother in law? And or my ex-husband?

    Who?

  • New research shows British cities 🇬🇧 aren’t built for older people. Many can’t walk fast enough to beat a pedestrian crossing

    跳过

  • Worse, IMO, is that sometimes drivers get especially upset when they have to wait for pedestrians while it is raining.

    Yes, it is worse to drive in the rain, but the pedestrians are literally in the rain. Try to manufacture the tiniest bit of sympathy, you psychopaths.

  • U.S. military willing to attack “designated terrorist organizations” within America, general says

    跳过

  • "Designated" in what way?

    IIRC, Trump just designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization despite the fact that it has never committed terrorism and it is not an organization.

    This is just carte blanche to murder any political opposition.

    Did anybody else interpret Trump's messages about Rob Reiner's murder as the same as when a terrorist organization takes credit for an attack? If anything actually deserves to be designated as a terrorist organization, it's MAGA.

  • A therapy shortcut

  • All of his wishes could be interpreted as only applying in the past.

  • Obama encourages Democrats to focus on winning back House, not "tactical differences"

    跳过

  • In the United States, for reasons that are difficult to explain, it is legal to gerrymander.

    I think that Democrats should be trying to gerrymander to insane degrees to give Democrats the advantage, and at the same time, they should introduce a constitutional amendment to make gerrymandering illegal. The amendment needs to be written by experts in political science and gerrymandering so that we can do our best to get rid of this disease.

    As long as they say, "We are against gerrymandering, and all of these states have ratified the amendment. But if we don't do this, the red states will never ratify the amendment," then I think they can make it work.

    In the short run, the Democrats would win, and in the long run, as long as the amendment is written well, the American public would win, which hopefully would also be wins for progressives.

  • To my great shame, I haven't read the book, but based on the different movie adaptations I've seen, another interpretation could be simply that he ate some dinner that disagreed with him, and then just had some bad dreams for the second panel.

  • Don't do chores or errands and you can reclaim all of that time to really do something important like watch anime or play video games.

  • Essays are another complaint I have about my grade school experience. Especially for English class. They never told me exactly why it helped me to write an essay, and so I felt like I had to guess what I was learning. I always thought it was about grammar and spelling, and that they wanted all of that literary shit like allusions and tone and whatever.

    I knew that it was okay if you wrote something creative, but it sucked shit, but I didn't realize that they wanted us to write shit sucking creative prose, because most everybody has to write badly before they can write goodly. I was always paralyzed by perfectionism, and in those days, we either wrote it by hand or on a typewriter, so it was hard to go back and edit.

  • A Cold Soul

  • "Translated from Norwegian by Google"

    but just in that photo was taken our little friend slid in the snow

    How did Google manage to fuck up English this bad? I'm guessing it's supposed to be "just as the photo was taken," but that translation sucks.

  • Project to Resurrect Dead Grandmas Sparks Controversy

    跳过

  • I think that my definition of "resurrect" is not the same as their definition of "resurrect".

    Like, imagine that you went out and found an actress who was willing to dress up like your dead grandmother, and who would also study videos of her, and could do a perfect impersonation. I doubt anybody would say that she was "resurrected". But this is precisely what the AI is attempting to do.

    To call it a "resurrection" is an insult to her memory.

  • When I went to college, I had a computer science professor who assigned a group project, and he also told us exactly how to do a group project. You know, how to organize it, how to distribute work, how to have meetings and report progress, etc.

    That was the first time any teacher had ever explained anything to me about the group itself. The professor thought it was a good way of introducing students to the way things are done in a workplace, and he was right. Group projects are hard. If the students have to figure it out themselves, they will screw it up royally, just like anybody would.

    I honestly believe that every teacher I had up until that point had no interest in using group projects to actually educate the students. It was just a break so that the teacher could pretend like they were teaching students to work in a group, but actually added little scholastic value for students. (There was some inherent value in the socialization aspects, but the teacher never told us to do that, either.)

    If teachers don't teach, then it's only luck if students end up learning.

    • it will cost us more to try to enforce it, than we will gain in revenue

    That sounds to me like an assertion that has no basis in reality.

  • Pilot narrowly avoids ‘midair collision’ with US air force plane near Venezuela

  • The US military has had many incidents where it was sloppy as shit. I wouldn't completely write off the idea that they might just be a lot more incompetent than most people think.

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar says Stephen Miller’s rhetoric echoes language used by Nazis

    跳过

  • People have been saying that about Stephen Miller since before Trump's first presidency.

    It's just as unsurprising as Elon Musk's Nazi salutes on stage at a GOP convention.

    The reason Musk accidentally makes Nazi salutes when he gets excited is that he's a Nazi.

    The reason Stephen Miller's rhetoric is the same as Nazi rhetoric is that he's a Nazi.

    I'm not speaking metaphorically. I don't mean "Neo Nazi". I mean that Stephen Miller, like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, idolizes Nazi Germany, and in all likelihood, literally thinks of himself as a Nazi.

  • Eh, no reason to discard the idea of putting a ceiling on the rich. Even if you took away all of the money people had that was over 1 billion dollars, that wouldn't cause any of those people to suffer.

  • In college, I had a URL in my email signature, and the website was about etiquette in emails. I did this because I had to frequently communicate with a person who typed in all caps, and I hoped that he'd read it at some point. But anyways it wasn't a well-known domain, nor was it one that I had registered myself.

    And then, somebody sent me an email asking what kind of sick sense of humor I had, and it turned out that the link now went to a hardcore porn website. Not the best link to have in your email when you're using it to try to find a job.

    Thinking about it now, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a prank by somebody who knew me.
