You managed to understand Stellaris?
- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 1 month ago:
We’ve already established that Tiktok Tok is not the CCP. That’s what the whole first “gonna ban TikTok” fiasco was over. It’s why they don’t store US data in China but continue to do business in the US.
That would be a business using the 1st amendment right (which everyone gets, not just citizens) to free speech to use it’s platform to ask it’s users to do something directly beneficial to them. Nothing illegal about it unless you want to reevaluate that “TikTok is the CCP” claim again.
- Comment on ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US 1 month ago:
Lemmy really seems to generally think that TikTok isn’t massively overall popular. Lemmy would have someone thinking it’s a niche app only being used by teenagers.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 2 months ago:
First off, source? Second, the npr interview I heard mentioned specifically that China has to approve the sale because the algorithm is proprietary to a Chinese company. So anyone “buying TikTok” is buying a name and none of the actual bones of the social media platform
- Comment on What is your weirdest comfort habit? 4 months ago:
Huh, you talking about it made me realize I do this! I have a very, very short tongue, so maybe that adds to it? Do you happen to be able to rumble your ears?
- Comment on Maybe Lovecraft wasn't as talented as people think? 4 months ago:
Mama’s boy should not be undersold here. His mother was vile and was directly the reason he was afraid of pretty much everything.
- Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs 4 months ago:
I really don’t get this argument regardless of which way things “should be”.
Even and independent Activision-Blizzard under Microsoft would have overlap with HR or something. I can’t imagine leaving them “independent” wasn’t going to entail some trimming of fat.
- Comment on Where are the good political songs? 4 months ago:
Maybe I’m late but I recommend Speak by Queensryche, it’s about revolution. The entire album Operation Mindcrime is a rail against religion and capitalism told through a character recruited into an underground revolution. It’s very good and a song that contains the lines “educate the masses” and “burn the Whitehouse down” gets a thumbs up from me
- Comment on Anti-racism be like 4 months ago:
Uncle Ben is literally a generic name given to house slaves. There were many Uncle Bens all across the south.
- Comment on Anti-racism be like 4 months ago:
You need to fuckin go back to school with your “think for yourself” crap if you think anything on the left is justified.
And no, nothing on the right is racist, they’re not caricatures of enslaved people.
- Comment on Wanna start *real* game theory? 😏 4 months ago:
Bad post. Game theory describes a natural pattern towards a most efficient solution for all parts. Its just a math theory that helps predict results.
And why Harold? Just because he’s on a PC? There are better formats for this in the first place, even if it made sense.
- Comment on Wanna start *real* game theory? 😏 4 months ago:
Yea, OP missed that if it needs a rename, it would be as Efficiency Theory. In virology for example, game theory outlines how the flu and other viruses get less deadly over time since a just kinda sick person spreads disease better than the dead or deathly ill.
- Comment on Doing the important work 4 months ago:
When someone says their burritos won’t stay shut I immediately know that they don’t know what they’re doing.
- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 5 months ago:
XXIst
I’ve been seeing this on Lemmy lately, why are people going to roman numerals? Do we hate Arabic now? It’s not saving keystrokes unless I’m crazy?
- Comment on Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’ 5 months ago:
That’s cuz it’s Stellaris rules sooooo >_>
- Comment on Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’ 5 months ago:
Of course the fanatic spiritualists oppose Al, it’s a blocked tech path for them.
- Comment on Fun Run 5 months ago:
Shoes ruined the connective tissue in your feet. It’s the unfortunate way most people end up needing orthotics.
Everyone reading: start stretching and strengthening your feet, go barefoot where you can. Foot pain affects everything above it and you don’t want to be the person who can’t walk 100ft without their special shoes (which themselves are amazing since they can actually treat these issues at all, before anyone thinks I’m just anti-everything).
- Comment on Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA. 5 months ago:
I don’t think CIA_chatbot agrees with you
- Comment on When on a diet, does you body have the same weight loss across the entire person including visceral fat? 5 months ago:
also causing a hyper extended spine which causes back pain
I’m a massage therapist for context. If I had a dollar for every client I’ve had that I wish I could tell “Your back would feel better if you had any strength in your abs and something more than a hanj hill ass” I’d be able to afford a very long vacation
- Comment on A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive 5 months ago:
Contraline’s method involves making a small piercing in the scrotum and using a handheld injector to push the hydrogel through a catheter that’s connected to the vas deferens. The catheter is then taken out, and the puncture heals on its own.
That sounds like a bit more than just an injection. Not quite like going in for a flu shot to the nuts
- Comment on Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing 5 months ago:
Meanwhile my dad can’t get enough of his Zflip or whatever the smaller one is. Even with the screen starting to wear in the middle, it’s lasted longer than his other phones because the folding means it doesn’t get banged around.
Same goes with mentions of physical keyboards, all I get is flashbacks of my dad angry that his sausage fingers (tilesetter) can’t hit the buttons before touchscreen keyboards with bigger buttons hit.
- Comment on How to keep a man 5 months ago:
It what world is canned corn looking like that? That looks like yellow vomit
- Comment on I suspect it will be to do it again out back... 5 months ago:
Surprisingly close to home… Huh
- Comment on I suspect it will be to do it again out back... 5 months ago:
This is northern Arizona. More likely got frostbite in their ass. Altho maybe not this year, it’s been really warm
- Comment on Challenge accepted 6 months ago:
This map made me think that I’d love to teach US history and just drop this map on a bunch of 16yos.
“You must label all the states, I won’t answer any questions.”
And just wait for the first WTFs
- Comment on Challenge accepted 6 months ago:
Any royal line for that matter
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 6 months ago:
You don’t think about how glad you are you don’t have a jack because you’re thinking about the nicer camera or bigger battery, or both, rather than the jack. No matter which way you fall the reasoning certainly isn’t just cost cutting
- Comment on USA Will Invest in High-Speed Train to Fight Climate Change 6 months ago:
The CO2 will have to be sequestered back in the ground, so a method will have to be made to liquify and pump it back in, but it’s theoretically possible.
Not theoretical, they’re doing this as proof of concept at cement plants in Norway, they’re planning on pumping it into an aquifer under the artic ocean
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 6 months ago:
Honestly the best you can get is good deep tissue, which is why many chiros employ a massage therapist.
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 6 months ago:
You’ve got it in reverse. See that “possible exception for back pain”? Chronic pain related to joint issues is ALL chiros do, insurance used to cover that when you had a back injury or whiplash, things it works for. Then insurance stopped covering that, pretty sure it’s because they favor you getting a prescrip for pain killers but that’s conspiracy on my part, and a lot of chiros started to turn to less savory things, as they did that more and more snake oil types who claim chiropractic work is some fuckin miracle come out of the woodwork.
