Is martial arts really that useful?
  • The old addage is "nobody wins a knife fight". Only solution is to disarm them and you are 99% going to get cut. Just gotta believe you won't get cut bad enough to stop you from stopping them

  • US says Iran emailed Trump campaign material to Biden staff
  • Nah, Iran just had an easier time stealing from Trump's camp. If Biden accepted the info, it definitely would've become public knowledge and Trump would've been non-stop talking about it.

    It's all bait trying to get the Dems to fuck themselves

  • How Israel Built a Modern-Day Trojan Horse: Exploding Pagers
  • From the sounds of witness reports, it was either 1 message setting off a 5-10 second timer, or it was 2 messages in a similar spacing. It was designed to get someone to look at the pager before it blew up in their face. Apparently doctors have been dealing with it blinding shit tons of people.

  • From Chinese to Italians and beyond, maligning a culture via its foods is a longtime American habit
  • I forget that the US exists outside time and space. As long as 90% of Europe has some prized tomato-based dish, I will laugh at the ideas of foods having a "place".

    Food is a cornerstone of culture and one thing that will always be true is that culture is an ever changing landscape rather than some strict index thats easily sorted.

  • California Governor Unveils Emergency Rules To Ban Hemp Products With Any 'Detectable Amount' Of THC
  • Seeing Lemmy act like he's banning weed... Y'all suck. Hemp products in California are solely to get around the state required testing and other regulations. Plus they aren't taxed the same way, which is a big part of the fucking sell on legal weed.

    No state with legal weed should need untested hemp-derived products. Just go to a dispo and get something that you know what's in it.

  • California Governor Unveils Emergency Rules To Ban Hemp Products With Any 'Detectable Amount' Of THC
  • This is the actual reason that he's doing this. They can't properly regulate hemp stuff like they can legal weed. There's no good testing requirements for hemp products like there are for legal weed you get in a dispo

    But nooooo everyone on Lemmy would rather scream that they're taking away their drugs. I thought for a while Lemmy would be better about not senselessly reacting to headlines

  • I need eyebleach after seeing that horrible trailer
  • I think they're taking a crack at the idea it's anything other than a kids movie targeted at kids and people are acting like it needs to appeal to the adults who played release Minecraft.

    The complaints feel like someone complaining that a SpongeBob movie is silly or animated.

  • Lemmy users lack nuace and it stops actual discussion.

    I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

    Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

    The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as "we'll just handle it") plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

    Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
