  • Does that distinction even matter? The bullshit generator confidently generates bullshit, it doesn't matter whether it's making that up itself, sourcing from some dis/misinformation campaign, or just some guy behind the scenes lying to you, the end result is the same.

  • Darlington nurse says trans colleague put her in 'panic mode'

    Jump

  • The nurses have filed claims on the grounds of sexual harassment, discrimination, victimisation and breaches of the right to a private life, under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

    So they must be filling the claim against themselves, right? Because that's literally describing their own behaviour? They even explained in detail how they're harassing someone who they admit hasn't actually done anything?

    Swap the word trans for any other vulnerable group and it's obvious this is just straight bigotry. Imagine reading this headline about someone who was gay or someone who was black.

  • TIL the DCIM directory stands for "Digital Camera Images"

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how that's relevant? If the default folder was "Camera" or "Pictures" or whatever else your malware would just scan those directories and any real attack likely already does. You've only described how having malware on your machine compromises your machine, not exactly a groundbreaking revelation.

    Windows hasn't been my main os for a while but I'm fairly certain you can mount/unmount drives without rebooting. That's certainly the case on Linux, and my distro definitely tells me what processes are locking drives when applicable.

  • Does anyone know where this tail-wagging wolf is from?

    Jump

  • Regurgitating unverified AI output is not useful. I asked chatgpt, it's from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Oh, it doesn't appear in that show? Sorry, it's actually Amazing World Of Gumball. Not there either? Sorry, it's actually a werewolf from an obscure animation Scary Larry. Not even remotely the same at style? That's because it's actually from this 3d animation. Obviously 2d? Sorry, it's actually Midnight Mass. Then it got stuck in a loop.

  • I've never thought of it that way but you're absolutely right, getting kicked out of one niche internet community is literally the same thing as genocide! Nobody has ever had it worse than this guy.

  • What would the moral choice here be?

    Jump

  • On your end there's not much to consider here. You can let them know they refunded the entire order, chances are they'll just write it off. If they ask you to send it back it should be entirely at their expense, do not pay to send it back.

    On their end there's more going on. It sounds like they charged you for an item they knowingly did not ship then claimed the refund was already in progress when you complained. They also gave you a damaged item and claimed to be unable to refund that, which in most developed countries would be a breach of consumer regulations. This sounds an awful lot like that company is attempting to scam people.

  • Thou shalt not alter thy body? I don't remember that one

    Jump

  • Ecclesiastes 9:5 says dead is dead, directly contradicting everything about any afterlives or heaven. Christians pick and choose which parts to follow because they have to, it's literally impossible to follow the entire thing.

    For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

    It also goes on to say go have fun and live your life. That does not some compatible with the strict puritan Christianity most seem to follow.

    Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.[..]Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

  • Have you seen progressive people be discriminatory either intentionally or unintentionally and if so in what way?

    Jump

  • I'm not convinced you understand what transitioning means. You can start transitioning without any medical intervention, and pretty much every trans person does socially transition before medical treatment because there's really no alternative. When a younger person starts medical treatment, it will consist of puberty blockers. That's it. Fully reversible, no known long-term side-effects, been used for 50 years for cis kids with precocious puberty. Suggesting that's in any way equivalent to someone permanently deafening themselves is pretty disgusting, it's typical terf bullshit and you should really think twice about whatever led you to that opinion.

  • Public transit wastes money

    Jump

  • The problem you're running into there is you're treating public transport as a capitalistic for-profit business incentivised by making money rather than a public service incentivised by serving the public. When public transport is run purely for profit the goal is to find the maximum people will pay for the minimum level of service.

    Regardless, free public transport with privately owned public transport can still work. Where I am there's free public transport by bus for anyone under 22, over 60, or with a disability, funded by the government despite the fact public transport is privately owned. The only complaint I have is that I don't fall into any of those categories. The busses are usually clean enough, regular-ish (usually one every 15 minutes for popular routes at peak times), and you'll usually get wifi and maybe a usb charging port. Modern busses are electric too which makes use of our mostly renewable energy generation. It's like a train that can get stuck in traffic.

    It might be a lot to ask in some places but really all you need is a functioning government who work for the people rather than themselves. Enough people use public transport that it puts pressure on politicians to keep services running well otherwise they get voted out.

  • and trans women aren't real women

    That wasn't to stir up controversy, that's just Rowling being a piece of shit. She regularly supports groups aiming to strip rights from people and has openly stated that any money from Harry Potter is a direct endorsement of her abhorrent views. The only ethical move is to boycott anything related to the franchise.

  • Id be off that plane so fast

  • Final Destination?

  • Me neither

  • I think people here might be overthinking it. It's just counting daylight hours, the solstices are the longest/shortest days. The further from the equator you are the more obvious it is. There's around 10 hours more daylight in summer where I am so you can make a reasonable estimate of the solstices without using any timing devices, most people would notice that.

  • 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real.

  • dumb enough to think that something you just thought of without any research is valid and also dumb enough to think sharing that online is a good idea.

    Do you know what community you're posting in?

    You can disagree with someone without being an ass, this was uncalled for.

  • No place in children's hands: <16s in UK to be banned from buying energy drinks

    Jump

  • UK and England are not synonyms. This is England behind the curve as usual and updating regulation to catch up, you already need id for energy drinks elsewhere in the UK.

  • You mean like all the things in the link OP posted which you scrolled past just to be an ass in the comments?

  • Stop Killing Games has exceeded 1.4 Million Signatures!

    Jump

  • So your suggestion is instead of any attempt at regulation people should just boycott a company years after they've already given that company their money, despite the fact that you admit n even more ideal circumstances boycotts still do not work?

  • Behold! A perfect microwave hardboiled egg

    Jump

  • That sounds like superheated water to me. When you heat water in a microwave it can reach temperatures above 100C without boiling, if you disturb the water in that state it boils instantly and explodes.

  • The entire premise of your comment is absurd, but let's assume for a moment we really do live in a world where a legal process can't be used unless it's successfully been used for widespread change before; what other action do you suggest people should take?

  • Do the right thing and lend a friendly hand

    Jump

  • Imagine superman barging into your home with two rich kids just to say "look at this shithole, can you believe people actually live like this?" He excludes the kid he wants the others to include, too.
