- Comment on Car crashes have killed and seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year. Only one of these things is treated as a safety crisis in the media 9 hours ago:
Ty. I guess OP could be hinting at that. I don’t pick up on hints very well, and thought they were saying the news should also report about vehicle accident and death rates sometime.

I mean, how many times have we seen news reports of people intentially driving into protesters? I do wish they had the leading cause of death for comparison tho. Probably cancer, looks like a low-estimate is 6000 people a year just in Chicago.

Are you saying that OP is making a “cheap false equivalence”? They are commenting on news coverage, so I don’t follow what you mean.

That doesn’t make the comparison invalid, it can just be misleading to those with poor data literacy. Knowing how many “preventable” deaths from each source is valuable, but only if people are planning to do something about it.

Well hell. At lvl 200 you should be able to just buy a conjuration book and chug a fortify magika potion to summon your own.

Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I’m stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.

Oh, your brain is amazing, sure. Buuuut get Neuralink and let me plug my game in while you try to render the raytracing from foliage collision and I’m pretty sure you would crash like a Windows RT.

+1, ADHD and will forget to drink anything until I start feeling low BP. Usually good at feeling hunger thankfully.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
Well, hard water means it could be Ca+2 or Mg+2 ions, but it doesn’t have to be. Any metal or mineral in a “high” concentration (often as a dissolved salt) would make water hard. e.g. Salt water is hard compared to tap standards.
The water for the above user certainly could have been corrosive, or an allergic reaction could be the explanation. With a rural, rock ravine environment, any number of minerals could be in the water. You’re also more likely to get other contaminants like toxins in water not properly tested and treated.
- Comment on If I wanted to have a maximally downvoted post, how would I go about accomplishing that? 3 weeks ago:
Claiming a basic false thing as something true and saying that everyone keeps trying to gaslight you might work. Same as the stackexchange effect, people will engage to correct you more than anything else. Making it relate to insulting a large group would probably help too ig.
- Comment on Oh look, more concentration camps! 4 months ago:
I love seeing these type of interactions on Lemmy.
For my two cents, this is the main thing I told every Trump supporter I talked with why I would never vote for him. Every other reason they had dumb counterarguments for, but not kids in cages. None of them liked the idea when it happened the first time. Now I have two things to ask them about.
- How they feel about kids in cages again?
- How do they like the economy they voted for?

I’m glad you remain reasonable. I almost downvoted out of principle, but this feels like the intended use for image AI.

Lemmy has a unique community. Lots of thinkers. Personally, I love reading when people start seriously interpreting greentexts.

Exactly. The OP did normalize it. There wasn’t a notable difference.
- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 8 months ago:
There is not much else to say. I got a text from “my bank” that a payment was due. They shorthanded the bank name, spoofed the correct area code, and even knew my normal payment date. Nothing is sacred and that’s the new reality.

Exactly. They fumbled hard. It has to be your ____, there’s no way it turned out that good naturally.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 8 months ago:
I tried to have something else lined up each time, but tbh the financial hit from quitting a job where I was overworked was not nearly as bad as how I felt after my job each day. If you have some skills, offer to do oddjobs. Offer to detail friend’s cars, mow lawns, and pump up the quantity of applications.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 9 months ago:
Ahh, thank you for clarifying. Your point didn’t come across clearly the first time. Most people do only vote for their political party. I don’t agree that it is the prime reason, and there is probably analysis on key issues and primary involvement that could show why people don’t vote split tickets, but it would be nice if we could openly criticise candidates we plan to vote for without it being used destructively online. Tribalism is at it’s peak with social media.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 9 months ago:
I have no clue why you chose to point at OP’s opinion to claim their thinking is flawed. They clearly have put thought into this post instead of just planning to vote for who has the “right color banner” and are asking for reasons why someone would vote Trump. Why not point out the “slew of baggage” with Harris that would sway you or someone you know to vote for Trump instead of just listing something undistiguishing and then going non sequitur? I’d love to hear it as well tbh.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 9 months ago:
Rhetoric about scapegoats that distract people from the real causes of their issues, a cult of personality, and lots of money. Additionally, a lot of his voters thought he started to expose the truth behind how things actually run in the government instead of seeing how he is playing them for fools just as much (or more than) other politicians. Mostly though, it’s the money.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 9 months ago:
Not feeling like that proves selective outrage, as Trump would support and likely increase involvement with the genocide.
