6·20 hours agoMost people want to want for nothing…
But once that happens, then you start wanting the extra shit.
And humans are wired to never stop wanting extra shit, like through pretty much all of recorded history it has always taken a lot of work for someone to get to the point of wanting nothing once basic needs are met.
It’s something people devote literal lifetimes too, and still might not truly pull off.
Even if you meant it in a hyper pedantic way like seconds before death, they’d still all either want to live or want to die, the slice that truly wouldn’t care would be statistically insignificant
Eh, I disagree on both parts.
Lots of information out there, but it’s the equivalent of a Forrest full of virtually identical berries, 90% of which are poisonous.
And people are broke as fuck these days, you need wisdom to survive like that, and you earn it the hard way.
It’s just that when they have to devote so much energy to meeting their base needs, they can’t be assed to think about more abstract things.
Which is why the wealthy are never happy unless everyone else has nothing. When we’re comfortable enough to think ahead, we start asking why there’s any oligarchs to begin with. And their propaganda pitting us against each other isn’t as effective.
People are wise, you’re just judging fish by how well they can climb trees
You don’t understand…
Someone on the internet disagrees with them
I don’t think you understand what “Lemmy” is…
You came to one instance, to complain about another, neither of which are the instance you’re actually on.
There’s lots of communities where only the mod can post, and they just copy reddit. It’s stupid and annoying, but why does it matter?
Just block what you don’t like and you won’t see it anymore.
What you’re trying to do here just has zero chance of working.

I legitimately don’t know why it’s not blacklisted from communities about actual science.
Even if they’re trying to talk about a real thing, absolutely none of the details or many extrapolations will ever be accurate.

But in Hawaii you can literally do anything you want on the road, as long as you throw up a shaka after.

The video of him talking with Palestinians you didn’t even click?
Quick edit:
One of the Palestinians literally says on camera:
Americans need to know what they’re funding
I’ll never get used to how fast you all start acting like trump supporters
It always only takes 2-3 replies
Yeah man…
He’s such a big piece of shit for checks notes highlighting the abuses of the IDF before most people were aware using his giant international platform…
How dare he take a trip to Palestine to show people what Israel was doing!!!11111eleven
/S
It’s so if you don’t support the IDF, you don’t support your own children.
If service wasn’t mandatory, the IDF wouldn’t get away with as many war crimes to their own populace
You get everyone’s hands dirty, and no one wants anyone held accountable, because most have done something wrong
Same way authoritarians always want a society where laws aren’t enforced so everyone commits them. The goal isn’t a crime free society, it’s a society where the govethas an excuse to arrest anyone they want

And here he is talking to Palestinians on what I think is the same visit:
Not because Hollywood is full of rapists tho…
More likely because talking about Epstein’s connections to Mossad lead to people (even Tucker Carlson) being killed shortly after.

Like, everyone wants to act like the endgame was just raping kids, but they didn’t need an international ring for that. The ring existed to gather blackmail on the rich and powerful, and that black mail was/is being used to ensure the people responsible don’t get held accountable by any country.
The same reason we won’t hear the real story, is the same reason at the end of the day most countries do whatever Netenyahu asks of them.
That’s how blackmail works, you get them for a “small” thing, but every time they do something so you won’t release it, that gets added to the list of blackmail material. So be ause the pile of blackmail material keeps growing, you get the mark to agree to worse things.
The shit that happened on Epstein’s island was horrible, but if we ever find out what people agreed to do to keep it quiet it’ll be French revolution vibes.
Why do you think they targeted him?
Before Epstein the ring was run by Maxwell’s dad for the Israeli government, Epstein just inherited it.
There’s a reason Israel is the country everyone turns to for surveillance, they’re blackmailing the people making the tech.
Like, it’s easy to get hung up on the raping of children, but the real sick shit is what they were blackmailing them to do so the evidence wouldn’t get released. What do you think these people wouldn’t agree to just to keep the lid on what’s in the files?
I mean, pullups and running are very different…
Running you just need anything warm, nothing else matters. Pullups (outside in the winter?) you can’t sacrifice grip and should go with something like Mechanix gloves. Just enough to get a layer between you and the bar.
So really, the solution is two items.
If you really want one single solution, military surplus FROG gloves.
They won’t be as warm as mittens when running, but you’ll be able to easily get your sleeves over them to seal up and trap air. And they’re designed to deal with wet/cold as well as the fire resistance they’re named after so outdoor cold pullups should be fine.
But still won’t have the straight grip as Mechanix gloves, or the warmth of bulky gloves/mittens that would be useless for pullups.

I want to say hippies were less than 1% of that generation, but for some reason I think it was recorded as 2-3% which would be a gross over-estimate.
But for every hippie you think of sticking daisies in rifles, there was 100 spitting on Black kids for going to the school they were legally required to go to.
It would be like if in 2080 they think we’re all catboys with blue hair and 37 facial piercings.
Sure, those people exist as a fringe demographic, but they’re not the norm.
Bmost hippies had more issues with peers their own age than their parents age, that part of the folk tale gets left out tho, because the people who want us to think they were hippies and “grew out of it” were the ones beating hippies for being different.
All they were ever trying to do was lie to younger generations in the hopes they’d confirm to decades old social norms. Like, it’s weird how many people still don’t understand the boomers just lie about shit instinctively. They grew up in a world filled with lead and are literally incapable of caring about logical inconsistencies. They want younger generations to think they were cool, so they just fucking lied about what they were like as a generation.
If you ever run into a real deal old hippie some day, ask them what the majority of people their age was like back then.
2k is 1440p.
720 doubles to 1080.
1080 doubles to 1140
1140 double to 4k.
Companies all skipped 2k for the most part because all consumers cared about was resolution. That’s why the jump to 4k took so fucking long, for the most part we skipped an entire resolution generation. So even with 4k, all the other stuff wasn’t caught up.
Pretty much the same thing happened with 4g, the telecom corps agreed on a set of requirements to say they’d reached a new generation, but the numbers needed to go up before the tech was ready, so they all agreed to just claim 4g arrived, that’s why there was so many different flavors of 4g.
People really need to understand a lot of what “smart” TVs do is upscale the “4k” signal to something actually resembling real 4k.
Like how some 4k torrents are 3GB, and then a 1080p of the same movie is 20gb.
It’s “worse” resolution, but it looks miles better because it’s upscaling real 1080 to 4k instead of taking existing shitty 4k and trying to make it look better without just juicing the resolution.
So we don’t need 8k.content for 8k.tvs to be an incentive. We need real 4k media, then 8ks TV would show a real improvement.
Boomers economic policy is like if Issac Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and came to the conclusion it would always accelerate at the same speed no matter what, even though the ground with the entire ass planet behind it is right fucking there.
Numbers can not constantly go up, it’s just that’s what was happening their whole lives and they can’t accept that their childhoods was a blip and not how things always were and always will be.
They just can’t wrap their heads around it. They have such shit tier empathy they can’t comprehend that they’re an exception.
Nothing is binary
I took a bio psych class that got into neurotransmitters and shit, the professor started almost every class with:
Because a lot of people get freaked out about their own when they start learning about psychology or genetics, smacking them together and teaching 20 somethings is a recipe for existential crisis.
Your brain is sorting people into binary groups because that’s an easy shortcut our brain uses for everything. But what’s normal at the gathering of the juggalos is weird almost everywhere else. It’s all subjective and there’s a lot more ways than one to be normal.
Maybe someone is 99.9999% “normal” but they peel hard boiled eggs with their teeth like a psychopath. You’d never know till you saw them do it, but it would instantly recategorize them in your head as “weird” without a second thought.
But everyone knows they’re actually a unique snowflake, so it’s common for people to feel like they don’t belong to just one group. When it’s that everyone has that level of uniqueness, it’s just too much for our brains to keep track of, so we throw labels on people and treat them as groups.
