Totally, the problem is he should be in a home, and a fresh strapping young lad/lass under the age of 70 (lmao) should be doing these debates instead.
Trump needs to be defeated at all costs, I'm just massively disappointed that this is the guy the democrats chose
Yeah, it's a great first few steps. Really hoping LibDem becomes the official opposition and it's just two Left™ parties driving each other leftward.
Current Labour concerns me with how it's moved rightwards, but Daddy Starmer has my vote regardless
Totally, the other thing both of your examples did well is actually integrate the "Woke™" elements into their world in a natural and believable way. None of it unearthed established canon or went out of its way to score rainbow capitalist diversity points
I feel like a lot of "woke" shows are not great, but they get a cult of defenders and haters boosting it's popularity because of some perceived culture war. When it's really just execs trying to make their milk toast milquetoast slop shamelessly appeal to a wider audience.
No one complains about Spiderverse (after it came out) because it was good
I'm not sure where you're going with that? I would argue that yes, it is. As it's sexual material of a child, with that child's face on it, explicitly made for the purpose of defaming her. So I would say it sexually abused a child.
But you could also be taking the stance of "AI trains on adult porn, and is mearly recreating child porn. No child was actually harmed during the process." Which as I've said above, I disagree with, especially in this particular circumstance.
Apologies if it's just my reading comprehension being shit
The original 20 minute video in the article makes it clear he's talking about job roles, and mentions writers a few times (admittedly not close enough to draw an 100% certain link). I don't think it's enough to discredit this just based on the assumption that he's talking about actors or that there isn't enough context. Obviously it's vague enough that we can't draw any solid conclusions, so I agree with you there.
The main reason I think this is bullshit is that the guy's testimony isn't credible for two main reasons:
- The guy was recently passed up for promotion, and blames it on being white and male
- The interviewer is posing as a romantically interested date and asking plenty of leading questions, the guy is at least partially telling her what she wants to hear
These two points, regardless of how true his story is, give him an ulterior motive for embellishing the story and exaggerating facts, which ultimately means we can't trust this.
I'd like to see a full investigation, as with any accusation of discrimination. But we all know that when nothing turns up, it wouldn't shut the right wingers up
only 2tb? that's the size of my cache drives
This is also a lot more achievable than total healthcare reform. Both are achievable for sure, but just forcing landlords to install and maintain aircon is easier
I'm a strong atheist, but you're kinda pick and choosing the facts. Skepticism isn't about replacing one dogma with another.
China had a whole thing with persecuting those with religious beliefs. It's certainly the minority, but state enforced atheism has created great horrors. Anything can be warped and disfigured into a horrific belief system used to justify anything.
Those who are religious should be held to the same level of scientific scrutiny as everyone else. There's no evidence to show that Andrew Wakefield was Christian, and look at the shit show that caused
Being charitable, he's saying that he's going to massively help cooperations, and that any exec should do the morally bankrupt thing and vote for him because he (thinks) that he'll make line go up much more than Biden.
Although the more I think about it, it's hard not to see it as a not so subtle call for ideological purity. It's certainly going to rally some people
You literally used the example of a doctor to disagree with someone saying it's clinical, I just thought it was funny so made a joke.
And why so serious? Reply to the other person who was actually making a serious point if you want that
I also couldn't think of a more clinical setting than a doctor's clinic
I'm the healer and my partner is a dps. Healers and Tanks seem so criminally underplayed that I alone massively skew the queue times.
Healer and Tank combo must be borderline instant
Just average life expectancy minus half the minimum age imo, seems more fair considering it's an average.
Minimum voting age also disenfranchises able-minded people so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Absolute leach, he can get fucked. I can understand moving abroad after retiring. But he's not paid into the system for 50 years
Have you seen Alex Jones? You are on Lemmy, so you're going to find a lot more demonisation of the right on here, than say Truth Social. Go over there and you'll find plenty of posts about lefties eating babies and Biden draining the blood of the young to sustain his life
quality of life increases overall fertility rates decrease
Look at Elon Musk, Boris Johnson, or a whole host of incredibly wealthy people with stupid amounts of children. Quality of life increase is also linked to higher economic power. This is linked to higher human capital investments, meaning that it's now disproportionately more expensive to raise a child to be successful in the new economy with the higher quality of life. Quality of life increase generally correlates to life being disproportionately more expensive.
Solve the cost of raising children and you solve fertility rates
Lemmy in particular seems to have a high percentage of reasonable people. As in people who can be reasoned with, but might just be stuck in a ideological rabbit hole. I've found that by dropping hostility and acknowledging common ground I can quickly turn an argument into a productive discussion, where both sides learn something. This happens with people who are on the left or right of myself. So it'd be shame to overly ban one side and lose that.
It equally must suck for the mods, because I've seen some very very vitriolic comments here, again, on both sides. Removing these comments helps cool people's heads, but unequal enforcement may be an issue. I'm also generally against censorship, I just absolutely hate the platform when some stupid toxic divisive topic/meme gets posted everywhere for like a month. I really don't know where I stand on removing comments or banning people, seems like a fine line to walk
