- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 1 week ago:
Look if companies could implement successful anticheat without kernel access they sure as hell would, regardless of cost or effort. There is a TON of money to be made in competitive fps games alone, and they’re pretty much all overrun by hackers
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 3 weeks ago:
So, what makes you think he’s been taken in by fascist doctrine? Are we talking, “he thinks Dave Chapelle is funny and rolls his eyes at wokeness” or are we talking “defends hitler at the dinner table”? I ask just because I feel like some very liberal/leftist people can be pretty jumpy about things that are ultimately harmless. Additionally he might just be doing/saying things to act out and get a rise out of you. You’re not gonna fix that by making him read “white fragility” or something.
As far as gifts go I agree with many others in suggesting something that will make him interact with other worldviews in the real world. Maybe you can get him into a hobby that is shared by people across many different socioeconomic backgrounds like basketball or martial arts or travel or something.

- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 4 weeks ago:
Well, it’s gender neutral, neither party can (legally) change their name after marriage. That seems weird to me. Let people do what they want.
- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 4 weeks ago:
Hmm but what do you do if your name is already hyphenated? You can’t just keep bolting names together so that’s not a solution for more than one generation.

Ohhh that’s your profile pic, I was really confused how you got verified haha
- Comment on Websites: Then vs Now 5 weeks ago:
I think the difference is that there is not really a Netflix-without-the-ads alternative for the same price. And if you are willing to pay a bit more, well, you can just pay for the higher tier of Netflix without ads.
With browsers on the other hand, it’s all free with virtually no barrier to switching. So I think people will defect away a lot more quickly when a browser starts to worsen in quality (especially since Chrome doesn’t have Daddy Microsoft to force users to use it by default)

Less ads I guess? Idk
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 month ago:
Haha that movie was showing as a demo at the wholesale store my family would go to as a kid. I watched it in segments whenever I was there- I thought it was super cool + funny. So much so that when I was in college I convinced my girlfriend to watch it with me and wow that movie sucks I’m sorry to say :;( Although I do still quote “I see this is Flying Dingo IV. What happened to Flying Dingos 1 2 and 3?”
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 1 month ago:
Well for starters the meme is BS, check the other comments. Or just use common sense; there are plenty of traditional tribal societies around today, many of which are well documented. Have you EVER seen a woman from one of those communities hunting big game? I’ve been trying to think of one for the last 5 minutes and I can’t. I’m sure it happens but not a single example comes to mind.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 2 months ago:
Yeah I remember getting in argument with someone who suggested violence/intimidation against everyone who committed the crime of…wait for it… driving a Cybertruck

Whoa that’s fucking dark. I’m a very strong Ukraine supporter but the dehumanization of Russian soldiers is disturbing.

For me, I blocked the political subs and it helped a lot. But idk what content is bothering you. Are you looking at local to lemmy.ca? Idk anything about that instance. Lemmy.world seems pretty chill, it has the reputation of being the most mainstream instance
- Comment on The internet, every October 2 months ago:
Eh that is a thing for paranoid parents. Your family meets with a bunch of other families in a parking lot and the kid can go from trunk to trunk collecting candy. Prevents axe murderers from putting razor blades in the candy or whatever. It certainly hasn’t replaced trick or treating overall but it does seem more common.

I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren’t thinking about it hard enough.
- Comment on Missed Connection 2 months ago:
-I doubt many conservatives are buying cybertrucks. Much more so libertarians, rich nerds and crypto bros
-Even if they were right wing, intimidating/harassing/attacking someone for driving the wrong kind of EV is laughable and plays right into the narrative of the “intolerant left”
- Comment on Missed Connection 2 months ago:
Its also kind of the latest stupid thing for people to attack. Is it ugly, obnoxious and pretentious? Yes. But are you seriously suggesting that bad things should start happening to Cybertruck owners to keep people from driving them?
- Comment on I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten. 2 months ago:
Yeah except OP already said they don’t use Google anymore, presumably because they got fed up with it. As the expression goes, pigs get rich and hogs get slaughtered. If Google has bogged down the web search experience so much that people are defecting then they’ve gone too far.
- Comment on I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten. 2 months ago:
You can also add an extension for firefox/ ff mobile. Search for udm14 and you’ll find it. Keep in mind this also kills things that are more useful like sports schedules, calculator, time in different cities etc. that Google does automatically. So if I want that I just open an incognito tab to bypass the extension.

I think this is a misquote. I’ve seen thing like this before and it’s supposed to say “things that don’t require TALENT”

They do not exist solely to collect revenue, although they certainly do that as well. They have been proven time and again to reduce speeding and fatalities, as other commenters in this thread have pointed out. As far as using traffic cameras to reduce police forces, I haven’t been able to find that exactly, but there are plenty of examples of deploying traffic cameras to work around a shortage of officers which works out to the same thing.

Lemmy: Fuck cars! Lemmy: Fuck the police! Lemmy, when someone sabotages the most viable alternative to traffic stops to prevent people from speeding: Yes very good. This is good for society.

In NBA history, only 1 female player has ever been drafted- Luisa Harris. She did not actually make the team though, or anyways she never played in a game. I don’t quite remember. The door is open for women to play-the NBA does not prohibit it, nor do any of the “men’s leagues”-it just never happens because women are not good enough.
