and the weighing is the entire problem.

It’s also the fundamental value prop.

Which key? This one?

This thread is fucking chilling in its ironic self righteousness.

What’s more concerning is when a society is populated by people who have take the most facile understanding of a position, and then go about confidently as if they understand it. Like, say, if a news article has a rage porn headline and then people don’t read it to understand what actually was going on but make comments on websites as if there was no nuance to the subject whatsoever. … Very concerning.

If only there were an article we could read that makes this clear…

Ha I was writing another comment on this thread when this got posted, but I just feel like it’s important, relevant to that, to say that the hairs didn’t evolve FOR any specific purpose.

This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

OP is presumably educated and intelligent, and the takeaway they had was that bees “are pollinators” which is true with regard to our interest in them, but definitely implies agency that they are intentionally pollinating, which (I am pretty sure) isn’t true.

It feels like the same question that gets asked in a million different ways of “why did XYZ evolve that way when ABCD?” (Because evolution is random and tends toward selecting for energy conservation. Not to “achieve” some specific goal.)

My God that’s white.

Yes.

Fuck nuance!

What the fuck are all these comments?

It’s an article about an unresolved and recurring problem with a popular drive that the ostensibly reputable manufacturer is trying to hide.

But 90% of the comments are people jerking themselves off about how smart they are for using RAID, which is irrelevant to the point of the article… But never miss an opportunity to pleasure yourself in public I guess?

Seek a therapist who practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I always go .gay myself.

I don’t know, but I keep trying to comment on posts federated from other instances and half the time I get some obscure error and it fails, and it’s fucking irritating.

God willing, Google can have six new apps out this year that each do a piece of what they had accomplished circa 2014.

Patches by Dickie Lee or Patches by Clarence Carter?

… Or Patches the Clown by Deadbolt?

(All great songs.)

Hmm that part really was the only thing that resonated with me.

Holy fuck

… It doesn’t even make sense. If Sue ends up choosing to live life as a flamboyant, gay drag queen then why is Sue pissed off at the dad in the first place? 🤔

Feels unlikely to me, personally. Those places were designed for shitheads, and there just aren’t that many shitheads to overrun regular places.

I was only a skeptic because the UI of Lemmy is hot garbage when you first get here, and they are crippled by the fundamental point of the infrastructure: That there’s no single “correct” place to go. Lemmy the software can’t really endorse a single instance.

But it seems like lemmy.world is that one. They should honestly just self promote as if they “are” Lemmy, and let people figure out the rest after they’re here.

For me, I just really wanted to stop using Reddit and forced myself to figure it out. It hasn’t been an awesome experience, but it feels like the right thing to do. Getting Liftoff on my android phone has helped. I’m still skeptical. And would happily ditch Lemmy if something better came along.
