Trump–Biden Debate Conspiracies Have Already Flooded the Internet
  • Biden at least tries to save some face, as evident from the recent cease fire push. Trump doesn't give two shits about optics and would instantly give Israel whatever they want and publicly back then up. It won't get much worse, because it's already so bad it's hard to get much worse, but it will get worse under Trump.

  • Lemmy is the best social media
  • How many times do I have to repeat myself?

    I’m going to start from here because this is how you show how disingenuous you are. I straight up said I don’t agree with the genocide deniers and what do you do? You still lump me in with them. Your entire mindset here is “If they don’t agree with me they must be genocide deniers”. Fuck off with that shit.

    You don't even try to understand what I'm saying, all you see is that I don't agree with you and so you mental gymnastic yourself into believing I'm doing genocide denial. Once again, fuck off with that shit.

    Go on man, shut me up. Retell my point back to me.

  • Meta admits using pirated books to train AI, but won't pay for it
  • So you're mixing up two different meaning of AI to say that AI doesn't mean the same thing everywhere? When people are talking about bats, the flying mammals, do you also interject with "bats are use to hit a ball" to make some point? No, because deliberately mixing up homonyms is stupid.

    It's pretty clear what kind of AI people are talking about here. Nobody was discussing game AI.

  • Lemmy is the best social media
  • You can sit on your high horse and talk about how people are cutting off pieces of their soul “for strategy”, but don’t be surprised when genocide continues and you get fascism shoved down your throat.

  • Lemmy is the best social media
  • I’m yet to find a comment section that isn’t full of you fuckers.

    I'm going to start from here because this is how you show how disingenuous you are. I straight up said I don't agree with the genocide deniers and what do you do? You still lump me in with them. Your entire mindset here is "If they don't agree with me they must be genocide deniers". Fuck off with that shit.

    I don’t know about that, I think political possibility goes beyond who will be convinced to change their vote because you told people to stop complaining about Biden.

    Like for instance, you acknowledging that the US is going to do genocide no matter what seems like a pretty damning thing to say, no? Seems like something worth saying. Seems like maybe we should condemn people who do genocide, or are willing to helm a nation that will make them complicit in genocide no matter what, because those are people that are going to do a genocide.

    Political possibilities goes beyond when you stop complaining about a part of the problem and start criticizing the problem as a whole. Biden is only a part of the problem, the real problem is that the majority political landscape of US supports Israel. You can't even get a real presidential candidate who would oppose Israel because it would go against the party line. And yet you're convinced it's Biden you should be complaining about.

    Seems like maybe getting people on board with a system change involves pointing out that it is an inexorable genocide machine. And if that’s what it takes to stop the genocides - and you seem to agree with me on this - then maybe we should, I don’t know, talk about it?

    Which is why you should talk about all the politicians supporting the genocide and not just focus on one. Why aren't you complaining about Trump? Why aren't you complaining about Mitch McConnell or Chuck Schumer? Why aren't you complaining about everyone in congress who voted to aid Israel? Why is it that you only complain about Biden?

    I think if you think you need to do this to get someone elected, that’s actually counterproductive. Like maybe people associating Biden with genocide denial is going to make it harder for them to hold their nose and vote strategically like you want. It’s very hard to imagine the voter who would care about the genocide and yet be fooled into voting for Biden because people kept his genocide support on the down-low. Seems like you’re cutting off little pieces of your soul for the sake of a strategy that isn’t going to really work, unless you’ve got an A-to-B for me on how telling people to stop complaining about Biden’s genocide support helps him win election.

    It's not about getting Biden elected, it's about making sure Trump does not get elected. That's what your elections have always been about, voting against the guy you hate more. If you don't vote for Biden you're indirectly voting for Trump because the system boils down to you either get Biden or you get Trump. And it doesn't matter who gets elected, America will still support genocide. This vote isn't about genocide, it's about whether American will get a fascist leader or not. You can sit on your high horse and talk about how people are cutting off pieces of their soul "for strategy", but don't be surprised when genocide continues and you get fascism shoved down your throat.

  • Lemmy is the best social media
  • Actually I'm just pointing out that you're complaining about something that won't change. You can complain about Biden being a capitalist but every final presidential candidate has been a capitalist for I don't even know for how many decades. You're complaining into the void because unless the system itself changes there's no chance to have a socialist president.

    Similarly you're complaining about Biden supporting genocide but the alternative, Trump, has pretty much said he will go gloves off and give Israel whatever they need. In fact you probably couldn't find a president in the last 20 years who wouldn't be supporting Israel. It's not a specific president or presidential candidate that is supporting genocide, it's the entire system. The only thing you realistically accomplish by complaining about Biden is sowing division.

    As for the "genocide deniers", well some people are just dumb and we have to accept that.

  • Exclusive: Majority Of Voters Want Next Government To Take UK Back Into European Union
  • This is exactly why I don't think they're coming back just yet. If there's one thing leavers and remainers agreed on it's british exceptionalism. Remainers didn't want to leave because EU in general was beneficial, remainers didn't want to leave because UK had a good thing going in the EU and giving it up was stupid. Remainers want to join only if they get at least some of their special privileges back.

    Maybe in another 10 years they'll be more receptive towards joining without special privileges.

  • Erdtree sm sm
  • Have you considered that it looks better because you're used to seeing it that way? It's the same with Fahrenheit vs Celsius, the one you've grown up with make more sense and is more pleasing to the eye.

  • Landlords didn't get their job for their brains, also ALAB.
  • It's a "job" they themselves created for themselves. That our something they have to do because they own the property, and if they didn't own it they wouldn't have to do it. And chances are they won't even do anything, they'll just hire someone else to fix it.

    You don't get paid to fix your own property, why should they get paid to fix their property?

  • F1 could scrap hybrids in next rules change after 2026 - Domenicali
  • Because it's more of a buzzword than a goal. Carbon neutral, in theory, means a company reduces their carbon output where they can and then reimburse the rest of the carbon they can't reduce. In practice it means a company can literally do nothing to reduce their emissions, pay someone else to offset the carbon they refuse to reduce and then claim "we're carbon neutral" while polluting with the same rate as they were before. Carbon neutral simply does not go far enough.

  • SEC Poised to Seek Enforcement Action Barring Elon Musk From Holding Executive Positions
  • On a completely irrelevant tangent, I hate FAFO. I see FAFO and it reminds me of FIFO and then I start thinking "but what does the A stand for?" First appended first out? First added first out? First assigned first out? And then I remember it has nothing to do with systems theory.

    Can't we just spell it out? FAFO just doesn't have that kick. You spell FAFO and people will go" the fuck? " whereas you spell" fuck around, find out" and everyone goes "oh shit, that guy means business."

  • Big, tough guy.
  • To be fair, that font is a crime against humanity so I think ragging on his jacket is fair play. It could say:

    "I love corgis

    I really do"

    with the cutest corgi ever and that jacket would still be a crime.

  • Healthcare? Oooo maybe next time...
  • You can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure nobody gave AOC a suitcase full of cash. She put in the effort and that got her first the district and later the congress. You can dismiss her as the exception, but she's "the exception" only if you consider her effort to be exceptional. And there was that other guy (literally blanking on the name) who ran as a democrat and is now turning republican after being elected, pretty sure he also did a grassroots campaign. You can absolutely get shit done if you put in the effort.

    The "suitcase full of campaign money" is the lie you're told to keep you from running.

    New mod, new winds

    Hello

    This community has been rather inactive for a long time and probably partly because the community creator and former mod was never active. There's also no strong CS community on lemmy so I decided to step up and hopefully shape this community into a healthy CS community, because I love CS and I don't want to go Reddit for my CS fix.

    Moving forward I will take a more active role in this community to post content for others to discuss. To focus the discussions I will start by creating megathreads for the bigger happenings in the community. For instance instead of having 20 posts about the HLTV top 20 players that will get little to no comments, I will create a HLTV top 20 megathread to get more a discussion going on.

    At least that's the plan, please do stick around and help me (by posting, commenting and upvoting) help you get this community up and running.
