  • Now that I think about it, every single one of your replies is generalizing Americans as a whole. Do you really think everyone thinks like that? Or are your interactions just limited to internet trolls, politicians, and media outlets? I’m saying this because I spent 4 years in public (government funded) high school learning about all of the atrocities we committed both internally and across the world, and I’m sure that barely scratched the surface. Most of the people I know don’t idolize any historical figures in the US.

    Let me put it this way. You’re on lemmy.ca so I’m going to assume you’re Canadian. If I started judging all Canadians based on what Alberta does, how would that make you feel? And what about the Inuit people? Canada and its leaders aren’t exactly perfect either. Do you want me to start judging all Canadians based on something Trudeau (or any other leader for that matter) did?

    Either way, don’t bother responding to this because I’m starting to think you’re responding in bad faith and I don’t feel like wasting energy on this anymore. Have a good day o/


  • Just because someone is underpaid doesn’t mean they have nothing to lose. That’s exactly why we’re in the situation we are right now. People that are buying the propaganda obviously won’t do anything about it, and even among people that don’t, many aren’t in the position where they’ll be alright if they get wrongly deported, detained, injured, or even just sent to court. Good lawyers aren’t exactly cheap and neither are medical bills.

    Yes, the government here sucks and I don’t want to be caught dead defending them (especially considering they would never defend me), but creating a divide between regular people is also exactly what they want because it helps them promote their naive nationalism. Attacking regular people isn’t exactly a great way to get others to agree with your ideas. All it does is convey a sense of elitism and hostility.


  • In my experience it’s more of a “everyone is too overworked and underpaid to have time to fact check all of the political lies being thrown around.” And the people that aren’t overworked are either the ones trying to lead protests and voting movements, or the ones upholding the status quo because it benefits them. Definitely not as simple as “Americans hate having basic protections”



  • I think there is more evidence pointing to it being the runner’s cartridge or N64 having a hardware fault that caused it to happen. If I’m remembering correctly the runner said they had to frequently reset their runs because their game would crash for no specific reason, and they would reinsert or adjust the cartridge to get it working again.

    They’re being pedantic but they’re also just factually wrong. The last few generations of Intel macs have an extra security chip called the T2 chip that makes it incredibly obnoxious to get the hardware working correctly on Linux. The wifi cards are also proprietary and you need to extract their firmware from MacOS in order to use them on Linux.

    Edit: on top of that the last few generations of Intel macs didn’t sell well because they overheated and the keyboards broke easily so they’re already at a disadvantage in terms of support even compared to the apple silicon macs

    The blur looks too natural to be AI, I think this is either just a blurry still from a video of a cat swatting the camera or just good old photoshop

    Edit: definitely just regular Photoshop because you can kind of see the point where they photoshopped in the extra arm (looking at its stomach it looks like it’s sitting upright)

    Random people who just want to get into a position of power don’t pass.

    Not sure about rural towns but I’m pretty sure this is the case in most cities/big towns in the US as well. It’s just that police training in the US tends to systemically filter decent human beings out of its system. Not exactly random, more like maximally bad by design 🙃
