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

  • Maybe don't assist the Nazis and then genocide Poland or something, idk

  • Without weighing in on the actual issue, I find it disappointing how everybody wants easy black-and-white answers.

    Most of the major villains in history also did nice things. A comedian, I think Norm MacDonald, had a bit about how Hitler had a dog, and so that dog probably thought Hitler was the best person in the world.

    People are just like that. Most people, even most of the worst people, see themselves as good people. When they're called out, they say things like, "You'd have done the same." And they believe it. They believe that everybody else would do evil things if simply given the opportunity. And they also do good things, and they're convinced that they're good people. The bad stuff they do is just the same thing anybody would do, right?

    If good acts disqualified a person from being evil, then almost nobody would be evil, and purely evil people would rarely rise to the top, as they'd get killed early in life.

  • Tent where Charlie Kirk was murdered recreated at Turning Point convention — for selfies

  • "And Charlie Kirk would have been sitting right here when he was shot in the fucking neck."

  • I was recently reminded how much I fucking hate Plato's Republic

    Jump

  • The word "philosopher" didn't mean exactly the same thing in Ancient Greece as it does today. Scientists, mathematicians, and those who study politics would have been included in the label back then.

    If I said that I thought our government should be led by an ethical person who was an expert in political science, you might think that sounds relatively good. In Plato's time, that guy might have been called a "philosopher".

  • And as for why the dentist acted that way, he thought they'd say, "Holy shit! How did you know that?" or "No, but I had a dentist from Slovenia!" and they'd be amazed by the dentist's knowledge.

    The dentist had no fallback plan if his amazing guess didn't work, and he didn't know what to do, so it became super awkward.

  • Jack Smith didn’t invoke Fifth Amendment during 8 hours of testimony, GOP committee chairman says

    Jump

  • Nothing to hide

    This is a bad way to think about people exercising their rights.

    Taking the fifth doesn't mean you have something to hide. It simply means that you don't know if it could possibly incriminate you.

    I strongly suggest everybody in America watch this video which is mostly about not talking to police, but the same reasons apply to testimony.

    For example, sometimes even completely innocent seeming statements, such as your truthfully saying where you were, can be used to convict you of a crime that you didn't commit. You had "nothing to hide", but you should have exercised your rights anyways.

    Since you don't know ahead of time which statements may be incriminating, you have to be extremely prepared if you want to guarantee that you don't need to take the fifth in front of a place like the House Judiciary Committee, where you are answering questions from politicians who have agendas.

  • Suspicious...

    Jump

  • That's how he used 8 tiles! He stole all of their tiles and is hiding them in his parka. He must be a hugely talented thief to take their tiles without them noticing.

  • Suspicious...

    Jump

  • I mean, that word is eight letters, and you only have seven tiles in your hand.

    We don't have the entire context. The game could have been ridiculous. Like, the lady could have started with "A", then the guy made it "AN", and then the third guy made the eight letter word. But I think the author intended to imply that he went first and plonked down that entire word.

  • Solved Problems (by kplx)

  • Me too old AF and don't miss walkman or discman or digital cameras or iPod or VHS or any of that old technology.

    I understand more as you move away from technology. Like I can get why others feel an attachment to vinyl record players or film photography. Anybody can understand that stuff, while a smart phone seems more like magic.

  • And I'm free...I'm free fallin'

    Jump

  • I think you can also have a bottomless pit by simply having a large hole that goes all the way through a planet, directly through its center. But then you'd just go back and forth until wind resistance stops you.

  • The Psychopath Test

    Jump

  • I think the question is not 100% accurate. It's just about as accurate as the previous list of questions was.

    And IIRC, the explanation was that a narcissist would sort of be proud of their narcissism.

    It was quite interesting (TM) because she asked them the question before giving the explanation, and the ones who answered said, "Yes." And then they tried to explain how most comedians had narcissistic motivations to get in front of a crowd of people, etc.

    It almost seemed like a demonstration of the point Sandi was about to make.

  • And I'm free...I'm free fallin'

    Jump

  • You would end up coming to a stop and falling in the other direction.

  • The Psychopath Test

    Jump

  • I just recently watched a QI clip where they said they used to have a long list of questions to determine if someone was a narcissist, but they realized that they got the same accuracy from a single question, "Are you a narcissist?"

  • Fingernail scratches all over his back? That's pretty spicy for a Far Side comic!

  • What are my options for my trans kid in the USA ?

    Jump

  • Ahh. I was going to say that sometimes, urban areas can be safer than rural areas. And then I realized that you probably have a typo. You said "so you would rather live" but I think you meant "so if you would rather live".

  • The Missing Boy

    Jump

  • You mean the time one of his victims escaped and the cops returned the victim to Dahmer, who later murdered him?

  • Trump Media to merge with nuclear fusion company

  • Hopefully, whoever the next president is will remove the ballroom.

  • And I'm free...I'm free fallin'

    Jump

  • I think it's literally not possible to fall that long in one direction in an atmosphere. You could do it in space, though.

  • The forbidden fruit

    Jump

  • You can get a bad version of almost any food. It doesn't mean anything. It's really common to get a tasteless orange, but that doesn't stop me from buying or liking oranges.

  • fancy cabinet

    Maybe this is the old man in me talking, but every time I've had any sort of lighting in my PC or RGB in my mouse, for example, it's just been distracting. Nobody but me ever even looks at my PC, and now, every time I see a fancy cabinet, it just looks like an eyesore to me.
