- Comment on Month-long awareness celebrations 6 days ago:
June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since Catholics live everywhere, I would say month long celebrations are everywhere.

- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 1 week ago:
One of my family members had that job for a good while. What’s interesting is the phone companies did not keep great records of what’s copper and where it is, so a lot of it is likely to remain in place for a long time. Something else he has seen is thieves cutting fiber, thinking it is copper, and causing outages, although that is less frequent than it was years ago.
- Comment on Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites 1 week ago:
I seek out out-of-the-way websites maintained by one or two people and then subscribe by RSS. RSS may be the only thing left keeping the web sane.

There are certain students the administration is likely going to want as international students. Israelis, white South Africans, and Hungarians, for example.
- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 1 week ago:
I remember when phone lines were made of copper. We were sure that it would be impossible for everyone to have a phone.
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 2 weeks ago:
Your phone is doing it too. TV too, if you have one. Don’t forget about your doorbell!
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 weeks ago:
The last mile can be 25 mph. That alone will eliminate 99% of traffic deaths, especially if the roads are designed to make it uncomfortable to go above 25 mph.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 2 weeks ago:
Latin Mass Catholic. So perhaps that makes more firm your impression of me. That said, I really don’t mind a sincere conversation, if you care to ask any questions.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 2 weeks ago:
I might be insane. Do the insane know when they are insane? Either way, I am open to AMA style questions if you sincerely care to find out if your impression carries with me too.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 2 weeks ago:
Actually, she’s cuter! 😉
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 2 weeks ago:
Having babies made my wife more affectionate and concerned about my own well-being. It was so great, we now have 11 children together. She’s a real blessing.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 weeks ago:
That’s $15,000 not $15. The answer is schools are corrupt fronts for contractors who milk the district of every dollar. Construction, service, demolition, and reconstruction of buildings is expensive!
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 2 weeks ago:
Owning things like Pocket is fine as long as each product stands on it’s own. Melding them together is what upsets their user base.
- Comment on Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism 2 weeks ago:
I don’t subscribe to any communities on that instance. If you defederate, I probably won’t notice. If we can do anything that’ll even make marginally better the lives of those who have gone through so much, I support what good we can do.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion? 3 weeks ago:
If you start such a community, I’ll subscribe. What topics would you want this community to address?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m teaching my 15 year old how to drive and we drive a manual transmission. She’s doing just a well as her three older siblings that learned on automatics.

I’m going to say they probably give marching orders to the dictators of multiple countries.
- Comment on China Halts Critical Rare Earth Exports as Trade War Intensifies. 1 month ago:
I could be wrong but my impression was that this is how it already is for goods containing rare earths. That they are already manufactured largely in China and China exports them and that there’s no ban on finished products containing rare earths.
- Comment on Id like to turn off notifications from the Galaxy Store, but I can't. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. Filthy basterds. 1 month ago:
Better yet, use adb to remove all the junk from your phone.
- Comment on I hate reachability of smartphones 1 month ago:
I am self-employed and have customers who need to reach out to me about one thing or another. I’m okay with phone calls. Phone calls get business done quickly. Text messages are terrible. If I get one text message, I’ll respond right away if I can, but only the first message. If he shoots a message back, I call. If he doesn’t answer, I wait a few hours to text back again. I absolutely refuse to turn our conversations to SMS conversations.
- Comment on China Halts Critical Rare Earth Exports as Trade War Intensifies. 1 month ago:
From what I understand, China’s exports of rare earths have been largely a part of finished components and that’s not been suspended.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 1 month ago:
Headline: Man pleads guilty to operating secret Chinese police station in NYC
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 1 month ago:
I thought this was common knowledge. Here’s one about the US. If you look, you can easily find one about Canada or other countries.
- Comment on How do I request an inactive community on Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Do Lemmy moderation tools work across instances? For example, if I were to “moderate” a community on a different instance, are the tools there to make this work? Or would I need to create a new profile on that other instance?
- Comment on How do I request an inactive community on Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Are there any official or unofficial rules about starting a community? Do you have to get the support of your instance first or can you just start one? I can imagine someone wanting to start two or three different themed communities and the instance the user uses having different opinions about hosting one or the other: Being very happy about one but very opposed to another. And keeping an array of profiles on different instances just to avoid upsetting one instance or another wouldn’t be ideal.

- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 1 month ago:
Nobody else is commenting on it but we know for a fact that China’s government is operating illegal “police stations” inside the United States and Canada, to regulate the behavior of Chinese people inside our countries. Yes, there will be Chinese internment camps and these Chinese agents operating inside out countries will be the start of those camps. They will be real enemies among us. The question is just if our governments will stop at those real enemies or if it’ll expand beyond what’s just.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 2 months ago:
Lots of people paying for that mistake today.

It is even worse if you are at the withdraw stage of life (generally retirement) because liquidated shares cannot participate in any later market increase.
