• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you found out that your son had actually been extremely wealthy for years, and you only found out decades later, how would you react?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be proud. I’ve raised a child that was successful, discreet, humble, and frugal. That’s a win in my book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Same reason we accepted living further and further away from amenities. Cars are a self-reinforcing malady.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  They won’t exist in the same form. They’re not profitable to run as the are and any likely improvements will come from a narrowing of focus.

  But more likely they just get replaced by the next fad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any free game like net hack ?⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  • DCCS

  • Brogue

  • Dwarf Fortress classic version (available from the Bay12 website)

  • ADoM (Ancient Domains of Mystery)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is it legal for a webpage who get money by clicks life the photo's of alleged lawbreakers and put it on their site without pay the person in the picture anything? Is this also no jury biasing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of a hard left turn there at the end, that would fall under “involuntary pornography” which is illegal in some places.

  But the rest, yeah, we need to have this be legal to have a free press. Civil suits are the remedy for people affected in this way.

  Yeah, the criminal justice system sucks for innocent people suspected of crimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, chemistry was never my strongest subject, but IIRC photosynthesis is about producing sugars, and it’s plant respiration that captures carbon. But the energy in coal (which powers most electricity production worldwide) and oil is stored in hydrocarbons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s just super nifty and I look forward to finding out what’s possible in the field. Imagine server powered by photosynthesis. That’d be awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re Christian they do. But so are all women. Everyone. It’s a basic tenet of the faith that everyone is sinful but everyone is capable of redemption.

  The person could sue for defamy, but they’d have to prove the website was publishing false information.

  In a lot of states, these kind of things are public record. The sites copy public information to their page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is America so surprised when they elected Trump? They bitched and moans how all politicians are liars, cheats, money hungry and so on. So now they got exactly that and they are surprised?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not surprised. I’m just complaining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  gentrification!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Put your seat back or no?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Flights are for sleeping, friend. I personally don’t see any benefit from reclining my seat so I don’t, but you should understand: reclined IS the default.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do some rich people date "poor" people?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the fist amount is “poor”…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From a socialist perspective, what are the solutions to doomerism, and that "can't find love" feeling that I've been seeing on Twitter (specifically a frontend)?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Once we stop being alienated from our labor and our communities this will be much less of a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but: I’m a parent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people get fined for breaking the law and it goes to the state or county? Why doesn't the fine go to the victim or victims? Instead of having to pay restitution just fine them.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It does cost money to find and prosecute the offenders. Plus many crimes don’t have a specific victim, but pose risks or harms towards society in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it feel like most art museums are for adults and most science museums are for kids?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you didn’t get enough art education when you yourself were a child.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which instance on Lemmy does not apply censorship?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the Way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many mythology seem to share a concept of spirits is there a reason for that?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because people want to believe that there is something special about them that distinguishes them from other animals, or from the merely physical.

  And also, many people want to believe there is something in them that will survive past death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference between a mythology vs a religion? Are they both mutual?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mythology is only a part of religion (and often survives after the rest of the religion has withered away). Mythology is the stories that try to explain why the world is the way it is.

  A living religion will also feature doctrines (a set of teachings, typically about morality, correct beliefs, prescribed or proscribed attitudes or sayings or practices) and rituals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can edit posts here, even the titles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If something could rotate infinitely after being initially pushed, would the initial push disqualify it from being classed as perpetual motion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, only if it has to be re-pushed periodically

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It might be weird, but you’re not alone, I’m the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the Midwest, too. I had to learn to use “Miss” instead when I moved East because damn Yankees assing some kind of negative age valuation to “Ma’am” or “Madam”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Annie okay?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried to tell her to take a load off, but I haven’t heard back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True or false: "Reading and studying socialist theory is the cure to AI psychosis."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  sure, but that didn’t answer my question

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How prevalent are cash transactions in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  cash is disgustingly filthy and basically only good for criminal transactions

  As waitress, I hate dealing with it — making change takes a lot of time and breals up the flow of service. At a good restaurant the hand sinks are placed well enough that washing hands after is pretty seamless, but I’ve worked at shops where I had to run all the way back the the dish pit after every cash transaction. And the worst part is the knowing winks like “I know you prefer cash” with the implication I’m a tax cheat. Fuck you, asshole! You’re just making more work for me! Now I have to log this myself and report it separately from my W-2s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True or false: "Reading and studying socialist theory is the cure to AI psychosis."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s reading it? The AIs, as training data? The AIs, as prompts? The AI engineers? The end users?

  You’ve put too much into quippiness and not enough into clarity.
