- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 9 hours ago:
Kind of an over amplification. Yeah, cops should ideally be fit-ish but even an obese person with a gun or a tazer can protect people, maybe not as well but still, and that doesn’t take into account the fact that a lot of cops are not actually on the streets but rather in an office doing paperwork etc. The problems are:
- There are maybe not enough cops that are fit for actual fights?
- Cops are ridiculously undertrained and unfiltered, giving us all if these assholes that really just like power.
- Comment on An alien who sees in the radio part of the light spectrum would probably be blinded by all our wireless communications 19 hours ago:
You might think that but really our radio waves are like a spark compared to the forest fire that is the sun. We only think of radio waves as extreme or flooding because they usually have better penetration because of the lower frequencies.
This also why basically everything alive that has sight is looking at roughly the same spectrum as humans, it is just very abundant, has a high frequency (eyes can be small) and is just below ionizing radiation so easier to stay healthy.

If you are doing long term storage (5+ years) i’m pretty sure that tapes win on costs
- Comment on As you are doing it you never realize 5 days ago:
How? It is pretty sensitive. Why not tapes?

- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 6 days ago:
I agree, OP makes it out like it wasn’t an extreme act of violence, even though it did start as self defence.

Tgis might be an important detail to put in the post, but in the headline? It makes no sense past bigotry

That’s my point, gender has no relation to violent crimes, bringing it up in the headline is just bigoted

You know something is up when they state that they are transgender when it bears no meaning to the actual article. This would be the same as “Gay man murdered people” the point is bigotry.

Past 30 age is meaningless as long as both sides are happy.
Would a 80 yo with a 30 yo be weird? Yeah, would it be wrong?
50 and 30 is unusual but definitely okay.

My first thought was “why the fuck am I seeing a cum glazed slug earring?” Don’t know if it’s my brain or the design that is at fault here

What is this weird ad post? F u
- Comment on What're they gonna do about it? 1 week ago:
There was a story just now about this exact thing and how it got out of hand and the company noticed.
But it was different because the offender was another company

In this reality I imagine ralph to be omnipotent, he moved to a different reality, problem solved.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 1 week ago:
About as much as I trust other drivers on the road.
As in I give it the benefit of the doubt but if something seems off I take precautions while monitoring and if it seems dangerous I do my best to avoid it.
In reality it means that I rarely check it but if anything seems off I remove it and if I have the time and energy I further check the actual code.
My general approach is minimalism, so I don’t use that many small unknown/small projects to begin with.

Did Satan get fucked in the ass, and got a load of cum and maggots and then farted a Lemmy user?

This. They measure these body changes and some idiots decided that these correlate perfectly with lies, but really they can correlate with plenty of things. They start with a base measurement where they ask you simple and verifiable questions such as your name, address, etc.
Here are some legitimate reasons that can get you marked as a liar:
- Getting nervous because you are being investigated.
- An accusatory question gets you nervous
- Panic attack
- Physical discomfort, can be because of a long investigation.
- A question agitates you
- And more
A polygraph can be useful to help uncover the truth as it can help investigators possibly find subjects that disturb you and could relate to lies.
Calling a polygraph a lie detector is ignorant, malicious, stupid, or some combination of the above.

Are you implying that all of these are actually different representations of the same thing?

Line them up, shoot Toby three times anyway

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was in a room with Meta, Hitler and Bin Laden. I would shoot Meta thrice.

- Comment on Having to manage cables is a very 80s thing that we still have to do in 2025. 1 week ago:
To be fair, almost all low power devices can be fully wireless, but in a kind of stupid way where they have a wired station. Power cords are not going anywhere anytime soon.
But OP, what wires do you have to manage? Most low power devices these days are wireless, and high power devices can’t safely be wireless, probably for ever.

With 2.4kw you can just use it as a space heater, and a strong one at that!

- Comment on Which one did you choose???? 1 week ago:
Does shit blood mean like a period? Sounds like a pretty normal thing for 50% of the population
- Comment on I'd choose 4 tbh 1 week ago:
Noy choosing 5 and 6 is plain stupid. While always being happy probably means some social issues, these can be mitigated by learning to fake sadness. And super strength is obviously super useful.
I’m assuming this isn’t a genie moment where super strength means you destroy everything because you don’t control it or whatever.
