• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does lemmy sites or instances give you a reason why you are banned so you are not doing the same thing ?lsewhere? Or how do I appeal a ban⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You must have said something that the instance found anti-communist, pro-capitalist/liberal, anti-china. you get banned if you get perceived as anti-minority, I think.

  Notice how I said “the instance found”. So it’s not easy to convince them if you run afoul by accident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Stanford Internet Observatory is being dismantled: U.S. Republicans attacked the lab’s reports on misinformation and election integrity — and now the institution is pulling the plug⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s tough when people like us sit here online and bicker at people for not doing their jobs… when we can see they are literally overwhelmed by an avlanche of attack from rightwing douchebags who have infinite resources and infinite bootlickers to mindlessly repeat propaganda.

  So scumbag execs can collect bonus for reduced cost and jump ship with their golden parachutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-OpenAI staff must sign lifetime no-criticism contract or forfeit all equity⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds illegal. You can’t sign away your rights in contracts. Wasn’t there also a recent law that banned Non-competes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you should have not bought it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨death sentence⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the parent comment, but we should be aware that and shouldn’t be naive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like your view of arranged marriage is limited to the US and hence poisoned by Shitty US Laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re simply wrong. Arranged marriage is not a strict definition of no consent. In fact, a lot of the time the girl has the final say in going ahead after an initial exchange of photos and talking face to face, at least that’s how it works in cities and urbanized areas.

  The reason you have this myopic view is that you’re misled into believing that arranged marriage is forced marriage by watching horror stories on the news. We all know the News cherrypicks for shock factor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re deliberately saying that’s the only reason and blaming that “men” only want a sex slave. Hence the downvotes.

  You should get your head out of the gutter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know"⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or… think like an adult… they have support contracts in place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know"⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My argument here is that Arrowhead is not some great dev that is helpless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know"⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Re-enforcing it after demonstrating it clearly works without makes it look scummy and greedy.

  Day 1 policy was that PSN linking was mandatory. Arrowhead execs knew this. Players who bought the game in non-PSN countries shouldn’t have gotten a pop-up banner saying as much instead of the payment screen.

  less than 500 years to create general intelligence will be a blip in time.

  You jynxed it. We aren’t gonna be around for 500 years now are we?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ft=m*v rule⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When it does snap usually the steel and concrete remain intact. It’s the stem of the bridge that’s most vulnerable to shear or buckling forces… at least that’s how my stuff fail.
