There’s no black and white to these terms.
Suffice it to say, when a working class person, say, gets a DUI, it will literally ruin their life.
When a middle class person gets a DUI, it will ruin their year.
When you’re upper middle class, that DUI fucking sucks. But you got it. Family is still going on vacation. Christmas isn’t cancelled.
When an upper class person gets a DUI, it will inconvenience their evening, and maybe, just maybe, their public image. (gasp)
- Comment on How do you charge an electric car without a credit card? 4 days ago:
Not having a credit card doesn’t make it any more difficult for someone to steal your identity, provided you keep your car secure.
Like, the essence of having a line of credit does not prevent someone from opening a line of credit in your name.
I dont have an answer to your question, but if that is really the only reason you don’t have a CC, just get a CC.
- Comment on How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend? 4 days ago:
Man the difference between 23 and 33 and giving a shit is crazy.
I had my heart broken badly when I was 23 and honestly, it fucked up a good bit of my 20s.even some of my 30s.
My advice first will be therapy. Breakups hurt losing friends hurts. Your gonna feel the pain of the collapse of the ability to dream about your shared future a lot. You need to start dreaming about a new different future.
This mext piece of advice might sound impossible, but you need to go no contact with her for a good 6 months while you process this. That muscle in your brain trained to daydream about your future is gonna be a bitch, and hanging out and acting like friends is gonna make that take forever. Go no contact. You can be friends again later, but not now.
You got this.

This PC is basically top of the line.
Important question? Will be be running Windows or Linux?
Intel i9 14th gen and Nvidia graphics on Linux… Those CPUs have had issues and Nvidia graphics and Linux are a notorious frustration. Don’t get me wrong, I do it, it’s doable. It’s just a bit of troubleshooting here and there.
With Windows, this won’t be as much of a consideration.
But to answer your question, it’s top tier.
- Comment on Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness? 6 days ago:
It depends on your perspective of what feigned happiness is.
There’s a fine line between faking a mood and trying your best to see something in a positive light.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 6 days ago:
In my neck of the woods, gas station owners have sharpies which of the 10 buttons is the mute button.
So as soon as the ad plays you just press mute.
It is God awful though.

Oh, maybe you missed it but it’s because there’s an asshole in office.

I find Bell Of The Ranch usually summarizes these sorts of political situations adequately.

- Comment on Using licence plate readers to track ICE 1 week ago:
You could probably deobfuscate their ad IDs on googles network to obtain real time tracking data for free.
It’d be a non-trivial project, but 100% doable.
Real Time Bidding is wild.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Did your kid have a working phone before or no phone at all?
This is very unusual, be it pocket change for them or not. If you were a loaded with cash, would they be cool with you buying their kid a Ferrari? A cyber truck? It’s not a normal thing to do, and it doesn’t respect that a given home might carry a particular set of rules of values.
If your kid has no phone, I could see this as a possible charitable act. Still weird. If you kid has a working phone this is fucking bananas, and you’re right to question every detail of this.
- Comment on Are some people too stupid to feel depressed? 1 week ago:
Considering it as “too stupid” is kind of delightfully ironic.
To answer your question, no.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 1 week ago:
I have used android phones without a case. Only one ended up with a crack.
I got a work phone. It’s an iPhone. Cracked screen in less than a week.

- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 1 week ago:
If it is sufficiently long, and the pattern is in any way dynamic then yes.
If they’re doing something like lemmy-core-420 then no.
A drummer friend used to do a few bars of a different rudiment. Like djddjdjjdjddjdjjdjddjdjjdjddjdjj and then account for PW rules

- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 3 weeks ago:
Top Google result.
- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 3 weeks ago:
Maybe google it before pretending you know what it does based on the name?
- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 3 weeks ago:
Autoelevate does handle this appropriately.
It automatically sends the prompt to an admin for review.
It doesn’t automatically allow anything.
- Comment on Why do so many piece of Hardware come with windows only software requiring admin right for installation 3 weeks ago:
Gross. Tell your IT director about solutions to this problem, like autoelevate. I mean there’s a security tradeoff but, you can have windows prompts for admins automatically prompt an IT admin to review and enter their credentials or deny and request more info. And it’s a very easy deployment for any intermediate IT person.
- Comment on Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia? 3 weeks ago:
Videogames and YouTube reaction bid can both go to the same singular pair of Bluetooth headphones.
Your partner is not being fair to you. They don’t need to be listening at full volume, either. That’s obnoxious.
Shit, if I wanna plug my guitar in my huge amp and shred guitar all day, do I just tell my gf to deal with it because I’m depressed and have ADD? No, I use amp simulators and headphones.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 3 weeks ago:
Okay I’m free now.
Im so glad you gave me this gem.
Your response itself relies on several fallacies… false equivalence, hasty generalization, equivocation, a strawman, and non sequitur reasoning, probably more?
You’re incorrectly conflating logical fallacies (which are clear mistakes in reasoning) with inductive uncertainty or experimental limitations in science. Logical fallacies invalidate reasoning structures. Scientific reasoning explicitly includes uncertainty and error correction as fundamental principles; it’s not fallacious; it’s cautious and probabilistic.
Additionally, your example of Socrates is actually demonstrating deductive validity, a different kind of reasoning entirely. Thus, your argument misrepresents logic and science simultaneously. Please correct these fallacies if you want this conversation to proceed productively
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 weeks ago:
You’re conflating two separate ideas.
A valid arguent needn’t any logical fallacy.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 weeks ago:
Why do we not have some brilliant mind just fully memorize all of the ins and outs of how these arise and just crush bad faith arguments by simply labeling them in real time rather than engaging with them?
Like, if framed correctly “I don’t engage in logical fallacy. I will immediately call it out, move on, and go back to the relevant topic.”
“Oh you don’t care about starving children?”
“That’s an appeal to emotion. I won’t engage with this obvious logical fallacy. I will address the causes of children suffering to alleviate their suffering.”
“But the cause is illegal immigrants!!!”
“That’s a strawman. I won’t engage with logical fallacies. If you’d like to have a discussion about solving problems, Im all ears, but until we’re done pointing fingers, this conversation is over.”

Okay so I agree with you that a longer password is better but this in no way indicates clear text password storage.
- Comment on I’m very good at math and would like health insurance. What is the easiest option? 4 weeks ago:
It’s game theory, so a little math and a little of this and that.
Are you young and healthy? Easy bet.
Are you middle aged and struggling? Difficult bet.
Are you old and in poor health? Easy bet.
Etc.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 5 weeks ago:
I’m approaching 40 And it was hard enough with cable internet being all the rage.
Now that kind of connectivity is 24/7 and on personal pocket sized devices.
I don’t envy today’s youth.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 5 weeks ago:
When you’re 20, you care what everyone thinks about you
When you’re 40, you don’t give a shit what anyone thinks about you.
When you’re 60, you’ll realize no one was thinking about you the whole time. It will be more empowering than depressing.
Skip the worry. Do you. It’s public space and hurts no one.

-
Waking Life is an excellent movie that every coming of age adolescent should watch.
-
Alex Jones got drunk on investigative journalism success. It is not a stretch to say that he and Michael Moore were very similar and on similar paths at one point in history (circa Waking Life, 1999-2001.). . Turns out one of them is both batshit crazy and great at mass manipulation, while the other is still righteous but struggles to get noticed.
