I just wanna be clear, I’m not downvoting Sarkeesian, I’m downvoting AI slop.

Shooting them in the head doesn’t kill them. Nothing can. Even chopping them into little pieces, the peaces start attacking you. You can burn them up, but that will just spread the curse to other corpses in the acid rain.

My source is the zombie documentary: Return of the Living Dead (1985)

We can hear you fine Mario, but our princess is on another zoom call.

I make cornbread all the time, and would never consider cooking it in anything other than a cast iron. Does your recipe call for pre-heating the pan?

I used to work with Hospice. I once witnessed a nurse explain to a patient that their son wasn’t going to visit. The patient did not take it well. I asked her about it later and she said contacting estranged relatives on behalf of patients was practically part of the process, and refusal was more common than acceptance. Also the nurse can expect verbal abuse from both parties.

I don’t know wright or wrong, but I do know that death regularly fails to overcome estrangement.

I suspect too many questions won’t submit to a binary.

Pinnochio, Is light a wave?

Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.

The point of those kind of estimation methods is not so you’ll agree with a clock, it’s so you’ll agree with yourself if you do it twice. Using a “foot” as a literal measuring unit isn’t so dumb if only one person is measuring.

In cooking, what a “cup” is in volume can vary by like 30% from cook to cook and depending on environmental factors. But if you’re the same cook, working in the same environment, your method will work every time.

This is a classic example of the decline of the American standard of living!

Boomer misogynists were able to hate their wives. GenX hated on their girlfriends. GenY is forced to hate women in theory.

They are however partisan hacks.

It’s worse than that, they’re actively corrupt. Robert’s or Alito’s Judicial philosophy is as irrelevant as Thomas’ racial identity; they believe in getting paid.

The responses to this post are why I like lemmy.

I read this meme and dropped in here to pile on the Christian, only to find out that ya’ll are more knowledgeable and kinder than I am.

Tax that peckerwood until he starts singing spirituals.

we were not considered white until the twentieth century.

That’s a myth. While the Irish were certainly looked down upon by other Europeans, they were still European Christians and therefore white.

The Irish are set apart in Western Europe due to her anti-colonial struggles. And they were absolutely subjected to ethnic abuse at home and as immigrants. But the Irish colonial project wasn’t underpinned by race-science the way African and American projects were. It was just regular imperialism: original recipe.

This is similar to people in Eastern Europe. The word Slav sounds like slave and that’s not a coincidence.

Authors who use AI should print the suffix “et a.i.” after their name on the cover.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Bab-el-Mandeb.

People I respect are predicting the Houthis will start threatening shipping through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. (should open hostilities resume) Just like they did during the Gaza genocide.

This would be a catastrophe for Europe. Pretty much everything that ships between Europe and Asia goes through that Canal.

I would argue that misogyny and racisim are ascendant in our time.

Sure, open racism was much worse, but they also were in the aftermath of 2nd wave feminism and the Civil Rights movement; things were getting better.

It’s those very strides that have aggravated the backlash we see now; things are getting worse.

So I’m not saying 1970 was better than today, but I’d argue that the early 2000s were.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen official Doom packaging and media. And I’ve been playing Doom since it was new.

This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

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.
