  What we need is to concentrate power into the hands of a single benevolent ruler with absolute authority. I suggest Winnie the Pooh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe credit for the first occurrence goes back to Ferdinand Magellan. Although he himself did not have the procedure, his crew did after his death in 1521.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a tricky debate, with mostly religious and traditionalist people on one side, and people against unnecessary surgical procedures on the other. Either way, I think once the foreskin is removed, it should be treated as medical waste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  MAGAs amd Tankies both want one party rule, amd they're both shitty parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta love science reporters. "Thought to be impossible."

  "A 747 jet took off from New York's Kennedy airport this morning, accomplishing a feat once thought to be impossible."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When your result breaks the laws of physics, you need to check your measurements and maths just to be sure. Better yet, have others do it for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked ChatGPT to correct your grammar, and here is what I got back. I hope it helps.

  It is worth mentioning that the referenced Stack Overflow survey does not include many countries that also have excellent developers, including Russia.

  I have never seriously used, do not use now, and will not use any LLM in my work, art, or research.
  I prefer people, communication, discovery, effort, creativity, and human art.

  Meanwhile, so incredibly many developers and artists are left without attribution, respect, or gratitude.
  So many people atrophy their skills for learning, contribution, research, accumulation, and self-organization.
  So much precious human time is wasted.
  So much is devalued.

  Time will show, and only a few who are actually accountable will probably recover.
  This is heartbreaking… sorrowful…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It's roughly a human generation behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If it really is paralyzing you and affecting your day-to-day decisions, you should see a therapist to help you put things in context and develop good coping mechanisms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are hierarchies inherently bad in all aspects? or are there domains where heirarchies are good to have?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The twin nested hierarchies of genetic and morphological relatedness are neither good nor bad. They just are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 4 Years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The teeth grow everywhere, and you just pull out the ones you don't want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You don't walk or ride a bike everywhere? Literal Nazi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, definitely. The far left never did anything wrong. They only want unicorns and rainbows. All the states that turned authoritarian to preserve their revolution of the workers are actually just far right fascists. If you want to make a dollar or increase your home's appeal and attraction, you're a stooge of Big Somebody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If libertarian socialists are on the left and anarcho-capitalists are on the right what ideology is in the middle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I've read enough political posts on Lemmy to know that the correct term for the people in the middle is "Nazi sympathizers."

  Does that tell you where the strongest voices on Lemmy fall?

  The other answer is "the left / right spectrum is false." The actual spectrum is "right / wrong," and the writer's beliefs are always on the former side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much money should one person realistically make or have?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't understand what No Stupid Questions is for if not to ask something that you don't know the answer to and might be embarrassed to ask somewhere else.

  But, to be honest, I'm with you. I think OP wasn't asking because he didn't know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much money should one person realistically make or have?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was very brave of you to post your question here. It's OK to be ignorant on some things, and asking questions is how we learn!

  I hope you got some good information and that no one tried to use your question to go on some kind of weird political tirade. It can be very controversial on Lemmy to ponder if rich people maybe have too much money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is it considered a hostage situation? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can't tell if the downvotes are against my punching down statement or my follow-up joke about being outnumbered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is it considered a hostage situation? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is called "punching down" and is no longer an acceptable form of humor.

  Although, to be fair, they do actually outnumber us in a 1v1 situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you save someone's life and then you save her life again next year, how many lives did you save?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Under US law you can now murder that person twice, because of the Judd Act.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s up with Myrrh being more prevalent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you're dropping by again, do pop in. But don't worry too much about the myrrh next time. All right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drova is surprisenly reactive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this not just a rule 5 violation? Seems like you already have a bunch of ideas and just want to whip up political comments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name for the vocal technique used for characters like Sméagol?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't know what it's called, but it's precious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should be more negative awards. For example: the most pathetic nation or the most monstrous person of the year.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  North Korea deserves it, but they won't win it. North Koreans will all vote for the USA, while Americans will be split on voting for themselves and other countries.

  What's the bet it's just ChatGPT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder what humans do when they’re not taking showers. And where does all this water come from? And how did I become sentient?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only try to realize the truth: there is no shower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder what humans do when they’re not taking showers. And where does all this water come from? And how did I become sentient?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quick, look around for a whale and a bowl of petunias.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism turns countries into businesses to support the lavish lifestyle of capital holders and the government into HR to silence the workers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There's how you define things, and then there's how they work in practice. If you're just going for the tired "Communism hasn't been properly tried yet" then I will submit that it never will be.

  I'm all for regulated capitalism. That's what's done in some of the more "socialist" countries that exist today. But the idea that you can have a functioning system where the market sets none of the prices is laughable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism turns countries into businesses to support the lavish lifestyle of capital holders and the government into HR to silence the workers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also common knowledge: Communism is worse. Talk about fast-tracking authoritarianism.
