- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 4 hours ago:
Transracial is an actual thing, but it refers to people of one race adopted by another
I think a better word for it would be “Transcultural” or “Transethnithicy” ?
But I’ve never heard of that specifically, closest people I know of are people with parents from other cultures who grew up in a different culture than one or both parents, call themselves “multicultural” or as having “multiethnicity”…

The premise that countries need to be self reliant and manufacture things locally seems like trump rhetoric to me. But yeah I don’t imagine he’d be a big supporter of Trump more generally with all the cuts to science research Trump is doing. And I didn’t bother watching much further into the video once I realized he was shilling his own product.

I don’t know what OP is talking about, but the whole premise of this video seems quite trumpian.

poorly educated and easily impressed people from rural America.
is a pretty mean spirited and stereotype-based thing to say.
Also his target audience is anyone poorly educated and easily impressed regardless of where they’re from. 😅

I think religion is ok, as long as it isn’t evangelical or spreading anti-intellectualism.

It is, but thier perspective is immoral.

- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 1 week ago:
I don’t think they’re angry at pride parades, they’re angry that there’s no similar parades/demonstrations for workers rights, and using pride parade as an example to be emulated…

Main reddit app and website user experience is garbage compared to 3rd party apps for lemmy.

One problem with that idea is Konami stock price is way more than I’d consider paying for the game 😅

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I think both will happen, at the same time:
With the steam deck using Linux games are finally working on Linux, which is a major barrier to it being used for personal computers. And with Google and apple phones getting worse, projects like Ubuntu Touch might pick up some momentum…
But yeah those will likely still be quite niche…

Looks like Lemmy formats empty hyperlinks as loops back here.
Depends on the app, and maybe also the instance you’re using?
In eternity for lemmy it shows as a link to
https://reddit.com/if I long press it, but has aninvalid linkerror if I try to click it. - Comment on In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors? 4 weeks ago:
It could work if done selectively on key areas that are statistically slanted to one side, but the logistics of pulling that off and keeping it a secret mean it’s just not a logical conspiracy.
- Comment on Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia? 4 weeks ago:
If they’re not prepared to turn down the TV to a reasonable level that’s on them. They know it’s upsetting you and are prepared to continue upsetting you. That’s really unhealthy and inconsiderate behaviour.
One thing that might help is getting them to use headphones with the TV. Most TVs these days have Bluetooth support. If I’m watching a movie late at night (common) I’ll always use headphones. Again it’s just common courtesy.
FTFY

- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 5 weeks ago:
apparently the different variants of English don’t agree on what “captions” and “subtitles” are. <sigh in non-native>
Probably doesn’t help that the closed caption option usually appears in the subtitle menu in most software 😅
But yeah, I think what you’re referring to is normally called “closed captions”, but I can see how it would be shortened to just “captions” for convenience in some cases.

This must be another reason why conservatives are so afriad of trans people: they disprove their misogynistic assumptions.
