  Yeah “family friendly” = advertisable.

  By the way, the Kids Online safety act isn’t the only threat to internet free speech. There’s another act that has gone under the radar, the screens act that may potentially affect internet access and free speech too: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/…/text

  First they came for the Yaoi And I did not speak out Because I was not a Fujoshi Then they came for the Porn And I did not speak out Because I was not a Gooner Then they came for the Games And I did not speak out Because I was not a Gamer Then they came for the Anime And I did not speak out Because I was not a Otaku Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean. A social database I feel is toxic in of itself. It’s makes forgiveness harder, it makes changing yourself harder. What’s the point in changing if people are gonna look you up in a database like this and perhaps forevermore treat you as if you are like that in the present day, forever. It assumes that humans are unchanging, that once a shitty person always a shitty person.

  Aren’t the devs of Lemmy Marxist leninist or something and .ml is one of their instances?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It might just be that, since BYD is serving such a large domestic market/population, that allows them to have cheaper cars? Something something, economies of scale. I’m no expert though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrooms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I never got the mirror thing. Was tripping alone on my first ever trip. It was the realization that, hey, “this technically only lasts a few hours(8-12) so eventually it’ll end lol” that brought me out of that potentially bad(is any trip truly bad lol) trip. Also, for anyone still reading this, cannabis can help as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrooms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will say this though, if you feel a bad trip coming, you have to surrender to it. Surrender to the fact that you are tripping balls, and that it’s is a finite experience, and that you’ll be ok. You won’t get in trouble, you won’t become crazy, and if you do? Fuck it we ball.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrooms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suggest listening to some Terence Mckenna talks before tripping. Also, surrender to the shroom if needed. It’ll help.

  I think it’s usually a bunch of posts on sports subreddita right? And then a few other things too.

  This would be my response: “Oh wow! That’s so cool, I didn’t know Casio made watches that expensive!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sigh…at least Apple is getting screwed over though. They’ve been impeding right to repair for a long time, perhaps their karmic debt is finally catching up to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you could probably solve this shit by restricting the types of phones used to dumb phones. Phones only capable of texting and calls. Perhaps some basic access to school websites and Wikipedia too. Everything else default blacklisted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Leftists really do need to do more gaming content.Thats all I’ll say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I thought thorium reactors were figured out already? The economics of it and lobbying by big oil was the problem. It ain’t that surprising that China could make a thorium reactor though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan hacked and taken offline. Hacker reopens /qa/ and leaks all admins emails.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dig this trench to protect your landlord's ability to gouge your decendants.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Serve? In WW3? Will just be suicide. Motherfuckers will deploy, and immediately be hit by a fucking nuke. Imagine this, 1 million troops land on a beach, and then in one instant, 1 million troops are gone immediately. The only real survivors in that war will likely be submarine crews and suited up, souped up, CBRN troops either way too deep into enemy line or way away from the front lines. Any warfare after the nukes drop will just be indicative of whatever fucking spite or malice that’s deep in humanity’s heart. I mean shit, I’ve asked my military friends about WW3 once, and they said that if the world is suffering nuclear hellfire anyways, and they’ve somehow survived? They’d immediately turn their tanks and guns towards the very leaders who sent the world into such a Holocaust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do zinc tablets and toothpaste counteract each other in the mouth?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta be careful with taking too much zinc. Can cause copper deficiency which would be really bad. Although maybe I’m paranoid from watching too many chubbyemu videos…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, although base intelligence/smartness perhaps has two parameters that make it? Effort and speed. Everyone can put in a bit more effort, but base speed may be baked in, unless one trains it, and max reachable base speed will depend from person to person. Hell if I know though, we haven’t really created a definitive definition for intelligence yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m of the opinion that most people aren’t dumb, but rather most don’t put in the requisite intellectual effort to actually reach accurate or precise or nuanced positions and opinions. Like they have the capacity to do so! They’re humans after all, and us humans can be pretty smart. But a brain accustomed to simply taking the path of least resistance is gonna continue to do so until it is forced(hopefully through their own action) to actually do something harder.

  Put succinctly: They can think, yet they don’t.

  Just call it Floh Market or just Floh. Flow Market or Just “Flow” would be good too.

  I would just refer to people who “go postal” as rampage killers. Spree killer and mass shooter already have their own definitions after all.

  Wouldn’t we have to terraform that shit too? We can probably send a probe out there or some shit, maybe the “Breakthrough Starshot” concept would be able to do it in a few hindred years or some shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be paranoid, but I feel as if alot of the anti-mastoron sentiment is astroturfing. Might just be me and my schizo mind though.
