So the premise is supposed to be "don't use phone" is supposed to magically turn into "healthy relationship with technology"? Yeah that doesn't make sense on a fundamental level.

Try applying that logic elsewhere. Having an rocky relationship with your spouse? Just stop talking to them and it will be fixed. Genius solutions, or perhaps it's not anything more than an excuse to control teens painted as something else

You can tell it's gay because it's not his aunt's house it's his aunts house meaning his aunt and her wife which also makes that his other aunt.

Maybe whales know something we don't. They have land ancestry, so they started as something in the ocean came out for a bit and decided to go back

Flex is more to show off. You can show off without bragging about it, although everyone who runs marathons seems to brag...

This actually works incredibly poorly or very well depending on your opinion if you just applied it to random problems in the US that are like micro issues.

Toilet clogged? Reagan's fault

Ah the old Arbeit macht frei point... ok

Science is also for artificers.

Also people aren't necessarily able to monetize their interest in science. Maybe if there were no barriers like people needing to pay for education, food, shelter, transportation, medical care, and the air they breathe then maybe a larger portion of those people would be the mage they want to be or at least closer to it. As it stands you are right, but things can be different than they are right now

"They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them"

I don't recommend them at all, conservative shitholes I mean unless maybe you are very well off and have passive income. Living in a place where people are basically ready to freak out over someone saying good morning as they pass and all the weird hate and suspicion towards everyone around them isn't healthy. It's like a culture built around having an enemy freaks out when there's no immediate external one and looks for enemies within.

Maybe it'll be gay people maybe it won't necessarily be that bad for them, hate culture is fickle and not based around logic, sometimes it's something of a comfort blanket for some people. Some people respond to be controlling and and others that claim to be in power and project control. People who grow up under "My house, my rules" type of homes grow up and vote for people who project that aura.

Yeah other comments have a point that you can run into assholes anywhere, but politics most definitely shape communities no matter how much people say they don't. Redlining shaped entire communities for over half a century, to pretend a neighborhood built around being held down because it's primarily an out group is suddenly going to have a drastically different way of life after some policies stopped is moronic. That's only one thing that causes a culture built around stratification, there's plenty of problems. Sometimes the damage is already done and actual policies need to be done to reverse it or else people are just stuck. Some policies are hard to really get into detail and convey just exactly how damaging they are especially to people who were never even taught those policies exist to begin with.

I know that this isn't exactly what you were getting into, I guess I just wanted to dig a bit further into my points seeing as how people are still interested days later. Getting into the politics of it requires some knowledge of history. Basically political landscapes shape culture for better or worse

I feel that. Tried getting into my niche interests and hobbies, but they are dead on Lemmy. I think being cognizant of problems in the world isn't a bad thing, but sometimes you don't want news and I wish the spaces on Lemmy for other stuff weren't so dead

Compare LA to Phoenix AZ and you go from the description of all the things the green text says are aren't true to them being reality. 4 Chan is probably filled with people from conservative shitholes hating life because they live in a conservative shithole

They aren't concerned primarily with employing people or crop yields, agribusiness is a business.

Your sentiment holds entirely if agriculture was entirely dependant on staple crops.

The plateau didn't come out of nowhere. Staple crops are being pushed aside in favor of high margin crops for biofuel and luxury goods. Large agriculture still focuses on short term gains.

Profit per acre is going up. Businesses don't care about increasing yield past a certain extent. If the business is set to profit and is currently profitable then all of these issues are non issues to the business.

I think you might be missing something. If food yields were soaring that would decrease the market value of food. The current agriculture system is designed with profit as the goal and feeding people as a secondary result.

Is a supply chain inefficient? In the current system that's alright, it lets a company charge more to make up for losses and gives them something tangible to justify price hikes.

There's also massive surplus waste and other problems that are prevalent in the current system. Growing to feed local populations rather than growing for export would drastically shift the situation alone and is currently entirely possible, but not nearly as profitable.

Can we get enough food for everyone? Yes. Can we do it while maintaining record high margins? Probably not

Looking at my electrical bill is depressing. It's always power used x and then taxes that are the same as x plus fees. So using $100 in electricity means I pay $220 with over half being taxes and extra fees

Maybe she doesn't seed?

In defense of game devs it's twice as much work to make every outfit have a model for masculine and feminine body types, but your point stands

It's really inefficient. A stove has all of the heat being concentrated to one spot while a car has a whole cooling system spreading out and dissipating the heat, and cars are more efficient at that than in the 70s. Having enough heat to cook with is generally bad for an engine so by design you would want it to cool before it's that hot.

I have had a few coworkers who put their lunch containers in their engine bay so that it would heat up for lunch though, that was for a job that had us driving around to 3-7 jobs in a day.

I think you hit the nail on the head with those points.

I've seen 5+ clones of Papers Please. I doubt that if you surveyed people describing the mechanics that they would be interested especially if Papers Please never came out.

For the original Halo they surveyed people who played who pretty much universally described the AI on the harder difficulties as being significantly "smarter". In actuality the only thing changed was enemies health pools and damage output and it was identical AI.

Gamers usually have a holistic experience with the games they are playing. There's definitely a place for user feedback to work, but devs don't look at a game the same way that people playing them do. Asking people who don't know how something works for feedback will give you perspective, but it doesn't necessarily lead to informed design decisions.

Alien 3 already has one that came from an ox (or dog depending on which cut of the movie) so at least it doesn't need to be from people. Honestly aside from that they don't really get into the interesting DNA combination stuff too much. Could be cool for one that's like a breed of dog all specialized and whatnot.

Now I'm curious if a Chihuahua alien would be more aggressive than a regular Chihuahua or not

It doesn't that trans people got half assed representation from a recent movie about a gang king/Queenpin going trans and not being held responsible for all the crime along with the writer saying that they will kinda depict transitioning however they want and not research it in any way.
