What makes you think it’s without reason?
There are entire instances where if you down vote stuff without leaving a comment to explain why, they ban you…
So OP and others see those people act like downvotes are a huge deal, and they believe them
I’ve seen double digit posts about it closing, which is super weird on Lemmy.
Before that is never heard of it either
“Your pretty face is going to hell” had this joke, but with armpit hair.
“Sanewashing” has been getting thrown around a lot lately.
But if it’s more malicious actions you might just mean “gaslighting”?
It doesn’t sound simpler to you that people would naturally call what’s west of them “western” and what’s east of them “eastern”?
Like, if you’d pick any random place they’d do it the same way
If you’re mad other places adopted the European “point of view” for east/west, then logically your problem isn’t with Europeans. It’s the other places that just use the European definitions.
You’re mad at the only group who has a logical reason to use it, instead of all the places using it for no reason except to try and fit in with Europe.
Like, if Japan said China was the West and America was the East…
Nobody would give a shit.
Nanni wasn’t the only one, just the most famous.
Like, we found Ea Nasir’s house, and it was filled with evidence that at one time he was trustworthy, and then just went to shit.
Like, we know ~5 other customers of his by name because they also left written records about him not delivering or cheating in other ways.
It wasn’t a one off thing.
Yes, racists and other bigots almost always put themselves in the best possible light
No you can’t…
Youre just being bigoted and judging people by appearance.
What’s weird is how supportive people are being of it.
A lot of the electrical grid is actually cooperativly owned
Sure, if you care about miles of wire and not customers, it sounds huge…
But anyone who hears that should be able to quickly figure out why it’s not relevant
So leave it with the oligarchs who are actively brining trump to make it worse?
What the fuck kind of learned helplessness is this?
Yeah they beat and starve us, but if we stop them from doing it someone might show up and if we let them they’d beat and starve us to!!!
Like, fucking newsflash man:
This is a continual fight, and boomers acting like it wasn’t is why shit is like it is today. No matter what happens this fight never stops
They keep making solya t/bachelor chow…
Nobody buys it.
But you can 100% meal prep something and just eat it everyday as long as it’s got everything balanced. That’s what pet food is. It’s not like there’s an animal whose flesh is cat food, it’s processed and fortifiex
Episgenetics is how the environment effects gene pression…
It doesn’t matter who has it, it’s the one ring.
It’s sheer existence is too dangerous to be allowed. But everyone focuses on what they could do with the power and think they’ll be able to keep it.
That’s why there’s such pushback against opposition to datacenters, it’s not just the money from the stocks, everyone pictures themselves as the only ones who gets to abuse the tech once it’s built.
Many people think Mexico is the only country that exists,
No, some people that you know think that “many people” believe that…
It doesn’t make it true
Tldr:
Oxidative stress resulting in difficulty copying shorter stings appears to result in a higher percentage of longer strings than in younger sperm…
Fuck if I know what that means tho. The article and the research never really got into what the problems are.
Yeah, it’s just typical capitalism stuff.
People see talk about legit refurbs and then think a dust wipe refurb isnthe same thing and get ripped off.
However, it is is not coming from someone who does this stuff at a professional level (refurbished in other words), I am not sure if I can trust it.
It’s honestly not even worth trying to use the right terminology these days…
Every seller/manufacturer uses slightly different definitions.
So to clarify, what’s good is:
A product that was sent back to manufacturer and “manufacturer refurbished” meaning that common fail points were inspected and repaired even if a failure would be emmenient but it’s still working
Pretty much anything else, would be bad.
An example of what is bad is:
“Amazon/ebay refurbished” where someone may have wiped the dust off and possibly checked to see if it turned on.
Especially for hard drives, the refurbishing is built into the purchase contract of the new drives. And since the purchaser and manufacturer both understand the refresh is proactive and the old drives still have life in them, it knocks off a percentage on the new drives and that’s where we can find deals.
I think I’ve got a 1TB that’s ~20 years old I got that way. It’s still technically in my main PC, but at this point it’s an unimportant archive drive that just doesn’t get read or wrote very often.
I’ve just literally never had a HDD or SD die tho. I don’t know why people act like they’re disposable parts of a PC still.
Yeah, that’s how politicians get the insider tips, it’s bribes to not go after the person who gave them the tip.
If enough of the right people make enough money, then everything about it becomes legal, or at worse a fine that’s less than the profits made.
Less skynet and more a surveillance state thats gonna put England and even CCP to shame.
They need the hard drives because they’re storing everything about us. Every time we drive by a camera, gps paths of our cell phones constant travel, every bank transaction including small purchases, every social media comment, page we view from WiFi or cellphone, all our connections to everyone else, tags for various groups.
Not even just the people we know we know, they’ll know who’s usually next to us in traffic on commutes and when, who makes our sandwich from the deli we go to every other Tuesday, what cops would be most likely to respond to a call to our house at a certain time…
Like, “skynet” is useful because everyone knows the term.
The real danger is what humans will do with access to that much information on everyone, and what a normal human would do to/for a stranger to protect all their darkest secrets.
Imagine if tech was 20 years ahead right now with trump in office, do you think someone like him would hesitate to start wide scale blackmail?
You think they’re above telling a couple thousand people in highly targeted districts that they had to vote a certain a way or else?
It’s not the AI we need to be scared of, it’s the data.
That is not reasonable…
Do you do that?
Because if so I’ll block all your communities right now even tho you got some good ones.
That is childish behavior and any mod that engages in that, is likely doing other shit that isn’t as obvious. And I just want no part of it. I’ll go to any other community or make my own if it doesn’t exist.
