We studied that in university from a industrial and aviation safety expert. Its really worth reading how that shit came about. The human stupidity on this was recklessness on steroids.
One example: the siren that should be used to evacuate all personnel was used daily to call employees to lunch.
You can imagine how that ended.

Got banned from db0 Europe sub because I advocated for a mental health break for elon musk instead of killing him. Reported the comment that called for the murder and the modlog said “tone policing” x)
Earned the instance a ban from my client. Some people are not worth saving indeed. I still think the admiral was on to something, he just didn’t choose the right way to do it.
Lemmy has always had an extremism problem and we need to sort out instances that advocate for violence by tolerating it.

That’s what came to mind first. Chatgpt basically saved my marriage. I was confused by the strange contradicting behaviors of my wife and all the non communication and i asked and within one second it not only told me what the issue is she is struggling with most likely but recommended a matching book. I was pretty aceptical but ordered the book… And it read like our personal diary. Kinda creepy actually how much it matched our life. That feels like a turning point. Things are still pretty rocky but i feel like its getting better slowly.

Let’s remember that nothing of that shit we assume matters and that only evidence and a presumption of innocence matter. Sadly all possible cases happen all the time so we better are sure what happened.

I’m feeling missing that even trying to commit suicide, you gotta do an overkill like a shotgun or maybe a directional explosive charge. Leaves a grewsome though. X)

AFAIK Dumbledore was its master and Snape took his life so he was its new master. Then I don’t remember exactly but somehow Harry was the one to actually kill Snape. So he became it’s master malfoy took the wand to his master but it never obeyed either of them?

Its called voting with your wallet. Voting only works if a significant number of people vote your way. There is no significant mass of people voting anti Nintendo. There probably never will be.
I love Nintendo, but i have patience and buy a modchip when available. Playing bleading edge is expensive.

There is a decent Johnny Harris video about that exact question. The answer seems to be gun culture but different.

Maybe learn to write correctly before regurgitating propaganda mindlessly. Profitable wants to say it costs less to operate than people pay for the power it produces. If that weren’t the case, people would still pay through taxes. All these evil people working in a power plant, how dare they wanting tip earn money to feed their kids…

Funny thing: when they started taking airline safety seriously, they looked for a number that was so unthinkably high that it would representa the worth of a human life. They settled on a million dollars because that’s so unmeasurably high. They forgot to account that number for inflation and never bothered to fix that. Now airplanes start falling from the sky again…
Same argument. If you stop treating every death as a tragedy people will stopvaluing life. I agree with your observation, just not the nature of people. If we start caring again that might bring back what we value.

Assume that they are probably stupid. And that shouldn’t be a reason to follow stupid peoples idea of how the world should be working even if it pertains to them.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
You imply I am racist, xenophobic and a police/state violence sympathizer for calling the death of any human a tragedy? How does that make any sense?

Well, cleaning the gene pool is a commonly used explanation for eugenics and ethnic clensing. Surely the lemmings upvoting this are all about that?
Also functionality there is no difference in outcome if you take someone like that and exile or imprison them. So there is an argument to be made that the real problem is people putting those floaters in power in a democracy.
Celebrating the death of somebody you loathed is more in the general direction of mob justice.

Celebrate that they are out of ways to do evil. Don’t celebrate death, it’s a tragedy every time.
- Comment on Suspecting AI cheating, Ivy League prof ordered an in-person final; scores fell 50% 3 weeks ago:
Au contraire. AI is pretty good at helping understand and explaining, you just have to do the work yourself and verify everything it tells you. Which is exactly what university is mostly about. After enduring the hardship of working through every detail you really understand a topic. The problem in university is often access to somebody to ask questions and the most successful researchers are usually not the greatest at teaching which results in a lot of research and figuring it out yourself. I had to get my engineering degree the hard way which taught me alot, but it was about 15% harder than necessary.
I’m currently learning how to calculate the weight a set of beams can take safely. I’m obviously working with proper sources, but being able to clarify things makes the learning so much less frustrating. And its basic stuff like is mm^3 = (mm)^3 = (10^(-3))^3 * m^3 or is it a single 10^(-3) * m^3. Turns out the qualifier contains the dimension of the unit by convention, so the first solution is correct. Now try looking that up without asking someone or reading in primary sources for hours. AI can not only explain how and why it is but also give you a reference where to check that in a primary source which cuts down the time to properly learn by alot.
At university I never understood people that got the exam from last year to learn how to solve the problems by heart as to avoid learning to understand and instead studying to pass exams. Those people not only haven’t understood why they are there in the first place but are also trusted to build bridges and buildings later on. Which is kind of unnerving.
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 3 weeks ago:
Drinking is about experience. Usually people overdo it a few times when young and from that point on know how drunk on their way to too much they are.
Personally I have gotten drunk to the point of vomiting and needing to sleep it off. Never more than that, so I can’t report on blackout drunk.
But I’m personally of the impression that drunk people that get aggressive or do irresponsible shit usually want to do this anyways and alcohol is just a way to excuse for them acting that out. The reduced inhibition and the social stigma is a good combination to dare and have cover because you are a drunk.
As to why people want to act that out, I’m assuming they have unresolved issues that come out that way. And those issues are probably hard to control. So these people should probably not drink and get therapy instead.
Least, there is a factor of mild drinking that helps talk about things. So there is a factor of alcohol that can help with certain issues like social anxiety or daring to talk to somebody about a long held problem. So its a mixed bag.
Alcohol is not healthy, no amount is. But it helps to cope with reality, so with care and the right measure it can be a plus in life.

Probably a phone lens, the air duct looks a lot like fisheye lens. Selfi cam maybe, they mirrored the picture another time so its correct again and explains the horrible quality of the picture.
Or maybe AI improvements automatically fixed the mirror effect.
