  • What do you think of the Singapore approach to drugs ?

    Jump

  • It doesn't even completely eliminate drugs. I know a - stupid - person who has bought weed in Singapore. They handed over the money to someone and then returned to the same location the next day to pick up from a different person.

  • I think the sex scene at the start of Don't Look Now when the couple have just lost their daughter to drowning is an example of an essential scene for the plot. There is so much psychological depth in the two grieving people trying to find solace in each other.

  • What are some good media that un-glorify conflict?

    Jump

  • MAS*H the 1970 Robert Altman film is a dark comedy following battlefield surgeons in the Korean war. Based off a semiautobiographical book with a similar premise.

    Essentially the surgeons try to keep themselves sane in an insane environment by playing practical jokes and generally making light of the darkest situation imaginable.

  • What are your thoughts on the mass implementation of AI?

    Jump

  • I think the bubble bursting will cause the crisis. There is undoubtedly a bubble if NVIDIA are being valued at $5 trillion.

  • The Traitors Is Fake Scotland at Its Worst

    Jump

  • The legacy sequel, bafflingly titled T2 Trainspotting, is a decent commentary on the nature of sequels and being middle aged. There's also more of actual Edinburgh in it; original movie was primarily filmed in Glasgow.

  • The Traitors Is Fake Scotland at Its Worst

    Jump

  • This romanticisation of Scotland has been going on since Sir Walter Scott, it's not a new phenomenon. It's actually fairly apposite that the castle was paid for by the proceeds of empire because Scotland was an enthusiastic participant in the empire with much of Edinburgh and Glasgow being financed by the proceeds of "sugar" (read: the triangular slave trade route).

    Unfortunately my fellow Scots can sometimes have a hard time grappling with our historical participation in empire and have a tendency to whitewash it. One of the reasons we had the unification of parliaments was that Scotland bankrupted itself by putting all of its money into an overseas colony which ultimately failed. Hard to see participation in empire as an English corruption if we were already trying to establish our own empire.

  • Is Lemmy.World an authentically "modern leftist" community?

    Jump

  • It definitely tilts that way but I've interacted with other "centrist dad" type people like me on here (although I've not got kids).

  • What do you wish you'd have known before you started your hobby(s)?

    Jump

  • Not sure if they meant column counter since you can easily get that too with Ctrl+x = if your cursor is over a character.

    Line counts appear at the bottom of the emacs window by default but has a limit where it stops incrementing somewhere in the 10,000s. Also would be slower to return a value since it needs to open the file to get the count, unlike wc -l which is virtually instantaneous.

  • Do you have to draw the line somewhere?

    Jump

  • Essentially your (very specific) example is a situation where someone is citing precedence. You could either disagree that the situations are analogous or you could disagree with the precedent. It's not really a matter of drawing a line so much as figuring out what exactly it is you disagree with.

  • What's the dumbest/silliest reason you got in trouble for in school?

    Jump

  • Got caught skiving off an afternoon class with a friend. Unfortunately his absence was noticed and he had very strict parents who would ground him at the drop of a hat. When we were pulled up on it he said the first lie that came into his head, which was that he'd shat himself. I had to play along. Ultimately he avoided being grounded but had to get an unnecessary prostate exam and take stool hardeners for a year.

  • You need to stop using Brave

    Jump

  • Provided I can still use about:config to clear out all the Mozilla crap then I'm happy with Firefox. The only add-on I use is ublock-origin on my phone and also NoScript on desktop.

  • What was the best moment you had in college?

    Jump

  • I do agree people romanticise school and university. I'm 32 now and in general my life has been better each year as I've created a home with my wife and grown into my career.

  • What was the best moment you had in college?

    Jump

  • Dudes rock

  • Places to do a private chat among friends? (Web)

    Jump

  • IRC with tor or i2p should fit the bill. On mobile you can use orbot to have the tor service running in the background and then configure your IRC client to use the correct port (5050? Can't quite remember).

  • Would you take pills that stop you from caring about the state of the world?

    Jump

  • Those pills exist but they can't be taken in moderation so governments prohibit them and doctors tightly prescribe them for limited periods of time.
