The Most Propagandized People On Earth
  • If you do even some basic back of the napkin math on how many psykers are sacrificed to the God Emperor of Man each day compared to how many people there are in the imperium and figure out how many are born and die each day you'll end up with a very small percentage. It was actually a fun exercise to figure it out in my friend group.

  • It's what we call a 'low cost of living area.'
  • But it's "work to live" not just survive. You spend the rest of the time on living. Whether that's fishing, hunting, crocheting, watching football, playing games, or something else. Enough money to do what you want to.

  • A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this?
  • With the amount of people who get manipulated with sales and other tactics I don't think we can argue that humanity is composed of rational economic actors. There are some rational economic actors, but the vast majority probably isn't acting rationally with regards to their economics. And that's okay, because humans aren't rational beings first and foremost. We're primarily emotional beings. We make most of our decisions based on emotions, then we may try to rationalize our choice.

    It takes a lot of effort to be rational about things.

  • A reminder to all you far left and far right nutjobs that think Joe Biden has done nothing significant in office
  • There's no definition of Europe at all in play here. It's the EU. A specific subset of countries, which is not the same as Europe. So what I wrote only goes one way. I'm not quite sure it's an argument, really. I presented the facts, and said that something with a maximum difference of 35% is very comparable. The first result I got through Google was the numbers I have given, which are also the official numbers from the European Union itself. That should be a lot more correct than other numbers you could find.

    If you want to google it, make sure you use "EU population", not "Europe population". Or you can look at that link I gave, which gives data not just for the EU, but a lot of other European countries as well.

  • Discord Servers asking for Phone Numbers and 'Verification Levels'
  • AFAIK you can have roles which have access to different parts of your server. Thus you can have that all newly joined accounts have a role where they only can see and interact with a channel for those waiting for acceptance. You can even make it “fill out a form in a thread” for why they want to join, and only after they’ve been accepted will they be given access to the rest of the server (or just some of it)

  • Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?
  • I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your words.

    And the reason I said you were obstinate were because you were. You refused to accept that it works since it doesn't do it in the way you want it to. And now you're rage-downvoting. You should probably take a few minutes off.

    EDIT: No, you didn't state that it didn't work after seven minutes and multiple routs of attempting to get the link to resolve. I see that you have edited that in later, in one of the later comments. It worked on the reload for me. And no, it's not preventing input to improve a product, it's asking you to be less absolutist in your comments. "It doesn't work as well as it should" compared to your "it doesn't work". When it obviously does work, albeit could work better.

    Edit: No ;P

  • Who said I can program?

    EDIT: If I could do the work to make it work better I would.

    EDIT:
    obstinate
    adjective
    ob·​sti·​nate ˈäb-stə-nət : stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course in spite of reason, arguments, or persuasion

  • Sound's like you're just being obstinate, then. It works, just not how you would prefer (well, I would also prefer that it didn't give an error screen like that, but that's besides the point). This is still early days of an open source project, and for that one should have a bit more understanding than for corporate products. A lot of other services also started out very unpolished and took time to get better.

    The good thing is that you should be able to contribute and make it so that it doesn't do that since you wrote you were a software developer for your whole career.

    EDIT: nice angry downvote, Cosmic Cleric...

  • So you're saying you did know that Lemmy has the thing where if you're the first one to ask to get community data from another instance the link will give you an error and you must click it again (or reload) to get the instanced version of that community for your instance, and then say that it doesn't work?

    That doesn't sound to me like you knew how Lemmy works. I can agree that it should be more hands-off for the user and the server should silently just do the thing to get the instanced community before sending data back to the client, but that's a different argument.

  • Not Sparks.
  • A couple times. I found the sequels to be much worse movies than the prequels. I mean, episode 7 is okay-ish. It's mostly episode 4 again. Episode 8 shit the bed. I didn't watch 9. The original trilogy is a good story.
