And so, I upvoted, hoping to appear a more refined meme connesuir than I truly was.

Does it need to be physical? I’d expect data on a well funded S3 account or a tar snap account to live 30 years

If you actually want to use paper… QR codes. The format is simple, broadly distributed, and has error correction built in. It’ll make the whole process a lot easier than trying to roll something yourself.

Hmmm. But what if fucks aren’t fungible?

Who said anything about using a rubber? Let’s properly support the people that exist now.

You mad?
Yes, to support everyone on what our economy outputs today will involve the quality of life decreasing for a lot of people. And the economy will have to change, to build the things that people need but are currently unable to pay for. This is unsurprising.
Probably the living space is more to show this is feasible over it being the expected/desired solution. It would be very counterproductive to tear down good houses, but small apartments work well for “house single unhoused people”.
Rural transport is a rounding error compared to the number of private cars that could be converted with minimal fuss in cities.
Why would an export economy be a bad model? They literally have a surplus; all you need to do to fix it is… Make less?

I got a lot of down votes, but ^ is exactly the point. A man being raped by a woman is so far outside of everyone’s thoughts that it doesn’t even cross their mind when seeing an image like this. But the same joke with genders reversed would get people with pitchforks.
I don’t think there was any actual rape here, as the comedian considers these encounters consensual. Which is the important bit factually. But if you couldn’t even imagine interpreting it that way then maybe you should think about why not?
- Comment on this lemmy? 3 months ago:
Rape is a serious crime and jokes about it are part of the culture that encourages and enables it

There’s a significant emotional and mental difference between giving $100 to buy mosquito nets and directly helping resolve a topical conflict within a tribe you’re a part of. A lot of effort (on both sides) goes into bridging that gap.
So yes, absolutely do the good things you can at a distance. But also don’t be disappointed when that doesn’t make you feel better.
(And yes, I wasn’t very clear about that in my original point. Good job and thank you for making+helping me clarify)
- Comment on Get the door! BREACH BREACH BREACH 9 months ago:
Humanity is now cursed with knowing every bit of horror that happens all around the globe. 200 years ago you might only find out about atrocities months or years after they happened, if at all. It was much clearer then that there was literally nothing you could do about them. Nowadays if you want to throw your life away you can just buy a plane ticket to Ukraine. So now we’re being much more regularly faced with terrible things we’re not prepared to deal with happening somewhere.
And the truth is still that there is not really anything significant we can do. If it was happening in our backyard we might fight, but there’s only so many backyards and only so much room for foolishly selfless people to lay down their lives.
The weirdness you’re feeling is not a moral failing, but rather the strangeness of a world we’re not built for. As much as I and you might feel for any given fight or issue, the 99% of them are not our business, and it’s not morally expected of us to get involved. Lots of religions and moral frameworks and feelings say otherwise. Forget them.
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 9 months ago:
I accidentally watched A Quiet Place with the sound off. It wasn’t until the waterfall scene about 45m in that I realized something was wrong.

That’s way too wordy.
Go make the dunk. Give her a moment of disappointment, then come back and say. “I don’t miss dunks, or dates. How about [local restaurant] at 6?”
Then you 1. Don’t miss a dunk in front of the boys and show your principles. 2. Get the date. 3. Let her save face - you’re not going on a date with her because you lost a bet, but rather because you like her.

So that it’s easy to see that there’s a little bit of snow on it as it melts and know it might be slippery.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 9 months ago:
It’s going to be a really shit 4 years. There could be a point of no return anytime along that based on a variety of issues, but IMO the most likely point of no return is if/when Trump moves to take a third term in '28. If that happens it’s clearly dead no hope.
