- Comment on Are Americans Actually Idiots? 4 hours ago:
About 35% are undoubtedly and rigidly so. The truly unfortunate part is that they’re motivated idiots. They are actively and aggressively ignorant and very much want to impose their idiocy on the rest of the country.
- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 6 hours ago:
Force consumers into US made, AI-laden, crappy hardware full of backdoors for the regime.
- Comment on where? 1 day ago:
5 if you want interesting.
7 if you want an angry doctor to insult you and ignore you for the remainder of the flight while he sleeps after a couple vicodin.
- Comment on We hardly remember how our parents raised us when we were newborn/infants. How can we be expected to raise our own kids after they are born ? 2 days ago:
Barring any issues with a kid outside of a parent’s control, this is what one should hope for a kid:
Top of the list: Love, safety, food, etc., the basics, and a lack of judgement for *personality or other orientation. That’s 90% of it.
Teach your kid right from wrong not by command or dogma, but by example.
Teach your kid how to learn, and teach them directly as needed.
*I don’t have the vocabulary in my head, but the gist I’m after is not trying to cram a kid into your mold. Sexual orientation-wise, how they dress, what jobs or careers are acceptable, sports… Let them be who they are as long as there’s no harm.

- Comment on AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming 4 days ago:
Or to put it another way, AI is making it faster and easier to do the wrong thing in the wrong way at scale.
…and absolve the operator of any responsibility, apparently.
Oh, that was the AI doing something wrong. shrugs and just keeps doing what they’re doing.

12k likes for an inane corporate ad post? Gotta be mostly bots.
- Comment on Ancient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright 4 days ago:
Sorry you feel insulted by being observed for what you are. Maybe be something better instead?
What the F. For what I am? Blocked. What is it with Lemmy the last couple days and these deliberately insulting assholes?

Don’t think you’re catching me out. It was understood the instant I read about her. TF is wrong with you, you go straight to being insulting.
- Comment on Ancient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright 4 days ago:
TBF it seems most of her history in the US was in entertainment and wearing a skirt made of fake bananas. Not really required learning. Her real activity seems to have taken place in France working with the French Resistance and civil rights, and unfortunately her civil rights work here was overshadowed by MLK.
- Comment on Remaster of the legendary Defender of the Crown game is being developed by a Ukrainian studio 5 days ago:
Played that on the Commodore. Going to have to see what the remake will look like.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 5 days ago:
I can only imagine the legal stonewalling. Sue who? The company who hired the device? The manufacturer? Programmers? The leasing company? Everyone passing the legal buck around making it incredibly difficult and expensive for anyone to sue in an attempt to exhaust the victim or their family.
- Comment on France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls 5 days ago:
Anime stuff is crazy. What amounts to young girls with huge tits in a lot of cases. All kinds of products like bedding or pillows feature them, and of course there’s porn of it, and as far as I can tell it doesn’t get treated any different than a niche weird porn. Somehow these are fine, but sex dolls aren’t? I’m not advocating for one or the other, but it seems like if we call one “bad”, the other should be too.
- Comment on Tech hobbyist makes shoulder-mounted guided missile prototype with $96 in parts and a 3D printer — DIY MANPADS includes Wi-Fi guidance, ballistics calculations, optional camera for tracking 5 days ago:
You can deploy a lot of $96 semi-effective hardware and improve it vs something that might be thousands or even tens or hundreds of thousands to deploy.
- Comment on There are people in first world countries with only 1 hard drive 6 days ago:
Do it sooner than later if there’s anything you want to save. I’ve got a dozen old HDDs and recently picked up an enclosure. Only tried a half dozen drives so far, but 2 of them were dead. The drives were probably about 10 years old and haven’t been used in 6-8 years or so.

- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 6 days ago:
We have the same problems reddit does. It’s just that it’s a smaller userbase and downvoted comments don’t disappear here like they get pushed down on reddit. So you don’t get downvoted as much, but your controversial or unpopular take remains visible for opposing opinions to attack. And yeah, there are mini-brigades here too. Make a comment about a subject that has importance to a particular instance and you get insta-downvoted multiple times, but your post will probably recover as the rest of the groups view the conversation.
- Comment on ‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’ 6 days ago:
Been on my mind quite a bit lately. We need a “sub-net” or something, like those community mesh nets, that isn’t controlled by Big Data and infested with Big Corpo. A Fediverse of ‘nets.
However, just as we’ve discovered in the Fediverse, there are going to be size disparities, out-groups, in-groups, radicals, etc.
There is no perfect system.
- Comment on The US in one image 1 week ago:
True for a lot of people. It’s called a “poverty draft.” The military uses poorer people for its forever wars. Enlisting is no guarantee of escaping poverty or getting full GI bill benefits.

LOL idiot
Blocked.
- Comment on The US in one image 1 week ago:
The worst? Gonna ignore Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the rape and slaughter of the civilian population? Gonna ignore China’s concentration camps for Uyghurs? The only reason you get to trash talk the US so bad is because (for now) we still have a press that can widely report (mostly) the truth about events and actions by this administration. Those other countries keep that shit under wraps so we don’t get any info better than limited second hand at best. I’m sure there’s even smaller countries doing BS to their own and other people, but they’re probably too small for you to soapbox and virtue signal about.

Not many cars are worth that.
- Comment on Simple, Stupid, and it always works 1 week ago:
Ugh. Cheaper to start with one half-fixed up than deal with that.
- Comment on Simple, Stupid, and it always works 1 week ago:
Aw, poor car. Probably cost too much to rebuild.

‘72 Bronco. Wish I still had it. They go for stupid money these days.
