I’ve never seen a single video on Lemmy of a dude punching a woman. That shit is on the front page of reddit every day.

Each individual video seems justifiable. Usually the girl is assaulting the dude first. But you have to wonder why videos of that act is a whole fucking genre into it’self.

the price point isn’t outrageous, but it’s not compelling when an Xbox controller can be bought for a third the price. Track-pads are nice, but people playing Steam are often sitting right next to a keyboard and mouse anyway.

Unpopular Opinion: starting wars that murder hundreds of thousands of innocent people for no reason is worse than the Epstein scandal. Though I admit my reasoning depends on the value of Arab lives being way higher than most Westerners would allow.

The Last Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie. But you wouldn’t be able to tell from my Disney account because I haven’t even gotten around to watching Maul yet.

Some people think I’m not a real Star Wars fan; as though that were insulting somehow.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to gather racial data. Knowing that black Americans are more susceptible to high blood pressure isn’t racist.

By attacking the UAE port that’s not behind their blockade, Iran is signaling that regional oil production are going to be it’s primary targets should hostilities resume. They have missiles and drones left and refineries, ports, and pipelines are hard to move out of the way. They also, with the help of their allies, they could bottle up the Bab-el-Mandeb (straight between Somalia and Yemen).

The problem was that the work tasks were supposed to occupy the students as well as teach them. The teacher was annoyed because this kind of student requires more attention than a student kept busy for the allotted time.

The idea that educating students is the primary goal of school at any level is naive. Everything up to the High-School level is half job-training and half daycare. Education is something that the student may pursue, but it’s optional.

Humanoid robots are never going to be a thing. We just imagine that because it’s what we’re used to, work being done by people. Kind like how the first cars looked like carriages.

Why in heaven would you design hips, legs, knees, balance, and coordination, when wheels exist?

A lot of people look down on this type of humor but I think it’s healthy for young boys to imagine what sex is like.

For the longest time, Windows defender would flag .7zip compression files as a Trojan. It would automatically delete the file as soon as I had created it.

If you’re explaining, you’re loosing.

This doesn’t make any sense. China is running out of land? Solar panels are the thing taking up too much space?

Better to build the parking lots on water so that valuable land can be used for solar panels.

Even when the wealthy are shown as wicked gangsters, like in the Sopranos, or Yellowstone, it’s still glorified.

If you’ve ever experienced love that is returned, you’ll realize that “unrequited love” is trivial and myopic. You cant do love by yourself.

Cutting ropes is a thing that only happens in movies. They don’t have Boyscouts in California I guess.

Every conceivable use for a rope has a knot that will accommodate it. Knots that don’t bind when under tension are a whole genre.

Apple products are great. The Apple ecosystem is not. If you like FOSS, you’re going to have a bad time.

Putting music on my iPhone sucks because iTunes won’t recognize or transfer .FLAC format. File sharing on iPhone is really inconstant and buggy. And I need a whole 3rd party app to get the data moved. Or I can upload things to iCloud 5GB at a time.

Personality disorder: it’s like a mental illness, but “getting better” would mean changing who you are.

There is no consistency and no standards. It’s actually a big problem. Customers don’t have any reliable way to know what kind of dose they’re getting. And even experienced users can get surprised.

There needs to be regulation on dosage and packaging. If marijuana was more dangerous, this would be killing people. Can you imagine ordering a drink and not knowing if it was beer or liquor until you started to feel the effect?

Most of the batteries in EVs are still in service. As the tech ages, their is going to be a need for a robust recycling program. Led-acid batteries (the kind in gas cars) already has a 90+% closed supply system which means the primary input for new batteries is old batteries.

With robust recycling, resource extraction can actually go down even as we use more and more batteries.

I used to work at Blockbuster. (am old)

They required a credit card to open an account. They would charge this account for late fees if you hadn’t paid them in 30 days or so. Their computer system didn’t check for valid credit card #s. The entire time I worked there, I misstyped almost every credit card number on a new account.

Obviously with people changing accounts and cards expiring, the failure rate when we charged these accounts was always high and nobody ever said anything about it.
