My friends claim I’m A minor but deep down I’m D major.
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 2 days ago:
Signal requires Google Play Services to share location so it doesn’t work for me on Graphene OS at all.
- Comment on What are you doing for digital estate planning? 2 days ago:
I don’t think leaving a password around for your bank account would be legal. It’s handled by inheritance laws so my family will take my death certificate to the bank/lawyer and get the money. Same with every other contract like cell phone and internet.
Everything else stays locked. Why would I give anyone access to my phone, email or laptop? My homelab will work as long as it’s plugged in and then it will just die. Who cares?
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 2 days ago:
WhatsApp was also an independent company and worked really well compared with other apps. I remember checking alternatives like… 5 years ago and no other app was able to do video calls reliably. Since then Signal caught up and works great now but everyone is already on WhatsApp. EU was working interoperability requirements. That’s pretty much the only way to escape WhatsApp now.

This is what my grandfather did for 40 years until he was hit by a train, found Jesus and formed mariachi band with him.

- Comment on Boy dinner 4 days ago:
Looks delicious. And I like how the coke offsets the calories in chips. Nice, balanced diet.
- Comment on War attention priorities 4 days ago:
I follow news in Poland and Spain and war in Ukraine is getting much more attention in Poland than in Spain. Why do you think is that?

Thanks. I’m not a great cook but this looks simple enough. I will give it a try.

Can you share the recipe?
- Comment on Video games 1 week ago:
The Last of Us what the first game yo could play without quarters? I had no idea. That’s pretty incredible.
- Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe? 1 week ago:
What’s the difference? I’ve seen American and European movies and didn’t notice any striking differences in their approach to nudity or sex.
- Comment on why just "now and then" isn't enough 1 week ago:
Because it wasn’t shocking to anyone 100 years ago and they adapted to the times?
- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 1 week ago:
If it’s just for run learn Italian, it’s a nicer language. If it’s for practical reasons go crazy and learn something completely different like Arabic or Mandarin.

She’s not starring in the type of movies I watch so I don’t know. I would say she’s probably good fit for this type of movies since she’s repeatedly cast in them. Her looks definitely help and I guess she appears on the set on time, can remember her lines and deliver them convincingly enough. There are definitely better actors out there but I’m pretty sure you can’t just grab any pretty lady off the street and make her do what Gal does.
- Comment on Accurate 2 weeks ago:
There are no bad actors in Hollywood. There are for sure better and worse actors but you don’t get hired in multi-million dollar movies repeatedly for being “bad” at acting. Some of them will do a bad job from time to time (not enough time to prepare or just not in the right place at the moment) but it will be hard to find a famous actor without at least a couple of great roles.
- Comment on Accurate 2 weeks ago:
I saw some interview with him talking about his acting. He basically likes very expressive roles, where he can do some “over the top” acting. He was talking about how he was inspired by German expressionism for some of his roles. He did tons of great movies in his career. Adaptation or Bringing out the Dead being some of them.

I something want to do this but then I realize I can make a better cake myself.

Incredible. What changed?

Yeah, it’s almost as if different people find different things funny. Mindblowing, I know.

Which part of “study the blade” didn’t you understand?
- Comment on Few adult men are killed by adult women. 5 weeks ago:
The scary thing is how many men no one would ever suspect of doing things like that do it.
- Comment on Why do seemingly well-adjusted adults find it acceptable to loudly play tiktoks on public transport? 5 weeks ago:
Because there are no consequences for doing it. The world is full of people that will do anything that’s convenient for them as long as they can get away with it. They think categorical imperative is for suckers.

Can’t tell if it’s a parody or actual scene from the movie.

TLDR?

Just set it to whatever you prefer. Who cares which direction other people scroll?
- Comment on When do we riot? 5 weeks ago:
Of course industries are trying to slow down the process but I don’t think overcoming them is as easy as trying harder. As I said, they do employ a lot of people so you have to modernize them without destroying them. It’s a slow process and you have to fight lobbyist and corruption on every step.
- Comment on When do we riot? 5 weeks ago:
EU is pretty much doing what you’re describing: it has some (weak but still) EV transition plan, it’s pushing hydrogen (to de-carbonize industries), it’s installing a lot of renewables. I would say they doing as much as people and industries are letting them. Push any harder and industries will move, people will lose their jobs and you will see even more discontent. And doing more would cost money which would mean higher taxes or less investment which people would also not like. We could tax the rich but this also isn’t very likely as there will always be a place for them to hide their money in (if not US than Russia or Argentina).
This is how it’s going: Image
This is what “best effort” gets us right now. Even if by some miracle all other countries started doing the same (and as we know US for example is doing the exact opposite) we would see 50 more years of emissions. This is obviously not going to happen so we’re pretty much fucked. Rioting will definitely not change any of that.
- Comment on When do we riot? 5 weeks ago:
People hated seat belts and life jackets.
No one was rioting for or against seat belts. It was a simple policy that some people didn’t like but it wasn’t opposed by the majority. To solve climate change the people you want to riot would actually have to sacrifice something.
Sometimes the government has to operate against the will of some people for the good of all people.
“Some” people? Sure. Majority? I don’t see it. We’re seeing so little progress on climate change because ordinary people oppose most of the solutions. No one is going to riot to get something they don’t want.
- Comment on When do we riot? 5 weeks ago:
You want to riot to fix climate change? Ok, let’s say you will get everyone to riot, abolish the government and kill the elites. What will you do next to solve climate change?
Ban* cars? People will be against it. Ban beef? People will be against it. Ban air travel? You guess it, people will be against it. Majority of people support measures that they think will not affect them like carbon taxes and renewable energy but if you look at actual, consumer level changes you will see a big drop. Only 34% of drivers support ban on ICE cars.
Look how much people bitch about paper straws. You think they will agree to actually limiting CO2 emissions by using less energy, traveling less, eating less meat and buying less useless stuff? The problem are not just the the elites and the billionaires. WE are the problem.
10% richest people account for half of the emissions. To be in the top 10% you have to make over $30k a year. To stop climate change pretty much everyone on lemmy would have to agree to big sacrifices. Are you ready to significantly lower your quality of life or you just want to riot because you think it will help you save it?
*By ban I mean limit by making more expensive.
