You really believe we’re all going to die in the next 30years?
Or are you being hyperbolic? - Comment on Google must sell Chrome to end search monopoly, US prosecutors argue | Business and Economy News 1 day ago:
They also suggest splitting off Android and sharing data. But that seems barely a start. If you’re going through the effort to take them down, take them all the way down.
They should split off nearly every major product and service. Make it a couple dozen separate companies.
- Comment on Did "Party time! Excellent!" come from Wayne's World or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Did one copy the other? 2 days ago:
I’m pretty sure “Party time! Excellent!” isn’t in Bill and Ted at all. It’s exclusively Wane’s World.
- Comment on Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class? 6 days ago:
The Dems just don’t know how to speak to people like Republicans do. They could.do it. But they don’t.
Rather than speaking to peoples pain and anger, they try to lecture and teach. You need to talk to people where they are not where you want them to be.
Bernie does it. That’s why so many Trump supporters like him, when they don’t like the rest of the Dems.
- Comment on Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class? 6 days ago:
It may be easier. But that’s not why.
If you avoid politicized language, a large majority of the US is quite left leaning, and economically progressive.
One of the Republicans favorite things to hate is the ACA (Obama Care). But if you ask them about the individual policies in the ACA, they approve of each of them by at least 2/3rds. And most agree that the government should prevent people from being forced into bankruptcy by medical expenses.
- Comment on Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class? 6 days ago:
Class is also an Identity.
One that most have in common. Regardless of race, religion, sex, or gender; nearly all of us are working class.So policies that help the working class, will help everyone. And those subclasses that are disproportionately held back, will be disproportionately helped by universal pro-worker policies.
- Comment on Is it just me or have teasers turned into full trailers? How come this is happening ? For example The Last Showgirl released a teaser and its a minute 50 the Thunderbolts first released one and it 3mi 1 week ago:
In my mind Teasers were made before production started, to announce the movie was being made. They didn’t have any actually movie clips.
Now it seems, if it’s more than 3 months from release, even full trailers, they get called a teaser. That’s the only distinction anymore I think.
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 1 week ago:
If they’re using time travel to create a causality loop, that’s different than a time loop.
Time loops usually reset causality, accept for those actually experiencing the loop iterations.
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 1 week ago:
Haven’t seen it, but sounds like it. Time travel can certainly be used to create loops.
- Comment on Are movies where the time loops over and over considered time travel movies? 1 week ago:
I say no.
Time travel stories are about going to a different time.
Time loop stories are repeating the same time.
It’s really that simple.Time loops are anti-time travel really, as there’s no movement in time at all.

Husba works for me
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I think you mean progressives.
The issue there, is not having a progressive party to vote for.
The Democrats have been nearly as as tied to Neoliberal Capitalism as the Republicans. They only done the bare minimum to court progressives, so as to not upset the big donating ownership class.
But perhapse if they loose enough, they might catch on and start to embrace economic-populism.
- Comment on Robert Downey Jr Speaks Out About Elon Musk "Cosplay" Of Tony Stark-The Tech Billionaire 2 weeks ago:
I wanted to read it. I did.
But seriously! How much work would it take for somone, anyone! Even the writer! Just read over the article once before before pushing the send button!The very first letter of the very first word (only a two letter word) is wrong.
“Un an interview that’s”
I can’t do it.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t realize their own promotional emails still reference Twitter. That’s intereating.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
Well he changed his name to a literally unpronounceable logo, so in that case there was no real other option.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
In that case Comcast is still the company name. Xfinity is just the brand of the consumer services division.

- Comment on How do I tell Pennsylvania I no longer live there? 3 weeks ago:
Id expect this would be the place.
That’s as far as I got since I’m not in PA. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I thought that what he literally called it. Public Beta
- Comment on Netflix Wiped Most of Its “Palestinian Stories” Collection — and Erased the Whole Thing in Israel 3 weeks ago:
Do you take the time to comment on all the things you don’t care about? Or only the things you care enough about, to proclaim you don’t care about them?
- Comment on Netflix Wiped Most of Its “Palestinian Stories” Collection — and Erased the Whole Thing in Israel 3 weeks ago:
If “nobody watched them”, how does anyone know they were “factually creative”?
- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI are giving news outlets $10 million to use AI tools 3 weeks ago:
It’s not a good sign when you have to pay people to use your product.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 4 weeks ago:
They convinced the FCC cellular is different than landline, and should have different rules.
- Comment on Why hasn't Kamala Harris's record of keeping nonviolent offenders in prison, despite SCOTUS ruling, while California AG been brought up much this election? 4 weeks ago:
It’s literally the right community for any question.
- Comment on Why hasn't Kamala Harris's record of keeping nonviolent offenders in prison, despite SCOTUS ruling, while California AG been brought up much this election? 4 weeks ago:
Because her supporters don’t want her to look like a tough on crime ass hole.
And her haters want her to look like a soft on crime leftie.
So nobody has incentive to push that narrative.
- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 5 weeks ago:
I’m in the US.
I’ve never had a job tell us we can’t take our 15s. But most places keep staffing tight enough, and busy enough, that people feel guilty taking a 15 unless they have a real reason to.
Personally, I find them kind of frustrating. By the time I begin to calm down, it’s time to head back. It’s not even like a real break. Where I am now, 30min is auto deduced for lunch, so we take 45min lunches most of the time.
- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 5 weeks ago:
Every job I’ve ever had.
- Comment on TikTok executives know about the harms the app poses for teenagers, lawsuit documents allege 5 weeks ago:
You’re conflating free speech of individuals, with engagement driven black box recommendation algorithms of corporations.
It’s a common mistake. I think most people make it.A company can allow people to post things, and for people to see them if they like, without algorithmically pushing it in endless scrolling interfaces.
For example Lemmy and Mastodon. You only see what you choose to subscribe to. The sites don’t chose to push any content into your feed because an algorithm thinks you’ll like it.
There is a big difference between the two and the later isn’t a hindrance to free speech.
- Comment on TikTok executives know about the harms the app poses for teenagers, lawsuit documents allege 5 weeks ago:
It’s always surprising to me that people think these harms are limited to kids and teens. These same issues effect everyone of all ages. Even I’ve noticed my attention span has been effected.
- Comment on More than a dozen states in the US have sued TikTok, accusing the social media platform of helping to drive a mental health crisis among teenagers 1 month ago:
The federal ban is for ByteDance not TickTok. And that’s separate from the states law suit. They’re unrelated.
