Well, I mean convincing to the public at large. Yeah I know I guy, otherwise perfectly smart, that is convinced that aliens are real based on the cheesiest, most obviously faked videos from back in the 80s or whatever.

- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 3 weeks ago:
Yeah there are still several stages of clinical trials before this gets to market. Here’s hoping though!
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 3 weeks ago:
I’m not an expert, but looking at the research paper this is just blocking one one particular vitamin a receptor, so most functions of vitamin A would not be affected. Once concern is that this particular receptor (RAR-alpha) is partially responsible for neutrophil production, although they didn’t notice any changes in animal tests, possibly because those receptors are tucked away inside your bone marrow. Still could be a concern with long term use though…

As a longtime donor of the project, last I checked there were still concerns about the reversability of the project.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 4 weeks ago:
Go for it dude. I’ve been working out ny whole life and have never paid for a gym membership (I used the gym at college, then at my various apartments, and then when I got a house I set up a home gym). You can get an awesome workout in with nothing more than some free weights, a bench and a little creativity. You mention being a “total novice,” but I feel like most people that go to a gym are working out on their own anyways so unless you’re thinking of getting a personal trainer there’s really not much difference. If you have any questions about form just take a look on YouTube.
The other factor is, what will motivate you to exercise more? For me, it’s the convenience of knowing i can just walk into a room in my house and work out. Whereas I know some people that are more motivated by group exercise classes. So you’ll have to figure that out yourself.
- Comment on You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use. 5 weeks ago:
I have good vision but I actually really like this font since i have a smaller phone screen! Anyone know how to install it on an Android phone?

Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(
- Comment on Sun God 1 month ago:
It’s very hard to convey the size of the sun in a photo. On earth, it isn’t bigger than the moon. I don’t think I’ve ever seen, in a real photo, just how massive the sun is. I absolutely dwarfs a planet, which is kind of chilling. I’ve never seen a photo that shows anything further away from the camera than a planet AND that much bigger.

How did FDR feel about gay rights? Economically he was to the left but socially he was way to the right. Sanders, sure, but I meant in a general election.

Kamala Harris and Biden before her ran on the most liberal platform in history
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 2 months ago:
I only use bluesky to follow a couple of ukraine war news accounts. It’s very good for that purpose. I don’t interact at all or read comments, twitter was always an absolute cesspool and I assume bkuesky is as well, or will be if it ever replaces twitter

Your brain is not fully formed until about 25
- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 5 months ago:
Well, it’s gender neutral, neither party can (legally) change their name after marriage. That seems weird to me. Let people do what they want.
- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 5 months ago:
Hmm but what do you do if your name is already hyphenated? You can’t just keep bolting names together so that’s not a solution for more than one generation.

Ohhh that’s your profile pic, I was really confused how you got verified haha
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 5 months ago:
Well for starters the meme is BS, check the other comments. Or just use common sense; there are plenty of traditional tribal societies around today, many of which are well documented. Have you EVER seen a woman from one of those communities hunting big game? I’ve been trying to think of one for the last 5 minutes and I can’t. I’m sure it happens but not a single example comes to mind.
- Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! 6 months ago:
A dollar in 2017 is worth 1.28 today. So yes, in today’s dollars there would have been 4 people above 100 billion in 2017.

I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren’t thinking about it hard enough.
- Comment on Missed Connection 6 months ago:
-I doubt many conservatives are buying cybertrucks. Much more so libertarians, rich nerds and crypto bros
-Even if they were right wing, intimidating/harassing/attacking someone for driving the wrong kind of EV is laughable and plays right into the narrative of the “intolerant left”
- Comment on Missed Connection 6 months ago:
Its also kind of the latest stupid thing for people to attack. Is it ugly, obnoxious and pretentious? Yes. But are you seriously suggesting that bad things should start happening to Cybertruck owners to keep people from driving them?

I think this is a misquote. I’ve seen thing like this before and it’s supposed to say “things that don’t require TALENT”

I generalize ofc but those are definitely the prevailing viewpoints, which seem contradictory.

They do not exist solely to collect revenue, although they certainly do that as well. They have been proven time and again to reduce speeding and fatalities, as other commenters in this thread have pointed out. As far as using traffic cameras to reduce police forces, I haven’t been able to find that exactly, but there are plenty of examples of deploying traffic cameras to work around a shortage of officers which works out to the same thing.

Lemmy: Fuck cars! Lemmy: Fuck the police! Lemmy, when someone sabotages the most viable alternative to traffic stops to prevent people from speeding: Yes very good. This is good for society.
