After a while using duckduckgo for everything, my work browser was hooked to Google, and when I went to use it the results were shit, and the ads were just overwhelming. Reconfigured it to duckduckgo.
Life is better.

The eye is the fucking whole argument for the stupid creationism. The most complex piece of machinery in the human body and shit.
That man thinks he’s god, to create similar functionality.
Has he fucking tried to keep his eyes open in fucking cold weather?
Why not just use humans eyes outside of earth’s atmosphere?!
He’s just so fucking stupid. Rich and stupid. The shit he spends his “hard earned” money would be so much better and efficient if spent controlled by mostly anyone else.

Your link doesn’t work for me. Is this the same?
- Comment on Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. 1 year ago:
Unfortunately, “society” doesn’t control most of the value of anything. The monopolists do.
So the only really valuable kind of art is the art that can be used for speculation and money laundering.
- Comment on They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust. 1 year ago:
It sparked from me wondering who’s this “they” OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint.
And then, I associated that with “us vs them” rhetoric lines. I didn’t even accuse OP of anything.
I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.

I agree wholeheartedly. :)
My commentary was an observation about “us vs them” way of reasoning, only.
I’m happy for your lemmy karma success!

I definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing.
But. Unfortunately, everything is political: reuters.com/…/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN16428960…
My point wasn’t even judging Wikipedia. I just think “us vs them” is a horrible framework for reasoning.

You got 1000 upvotes. At that scale anything is a political statement. 🎉

Nazis, terrorists and/or communists. In abstract, no definition or distinction. Just don’t think about it too much.

Any argument based on “us vs them” is flawed by default.

- Comment on Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech 1 year ago:
In our society people are acknowledged human through consumption, and that need is hammered onto our heads by ads and beauty norms everywhere.
Belonging is a human need. Sometimes some cheap makeup is all it takes.
But also, the rich people are stealing from us in so much worse ways. A rich teen stealing from a rich corporation is kind of karmaeic, and really, even if she was caught, nothing significant would happen, whilst a poor girl doing the same would suffer a lot more.
Ergo, if you see something, no you didn’t.
- Comment on Mathematician warns US spies may be weakening next-gen encryption 1 year ago:
They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.
A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.
