I still find it weird that the word daddy, you know, the word you lovingly use as a child for your father also has a very sexual other use.

I dont know what you guys do or did with your dad when you where little but this is just beyond crazy.

Or does the entire US population has oudipus complex?

Ukraine had lots of military industry after the fall of the Soviet union. From ships to missiles to helicopters to big ass planes.

It’s just that they pissed most of it away.

I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

Ho ho ho…

We lost nice people during covid, others like op prevail. It’s not fair.

Wishing someone dead, in public is always a dick move. Don’t you think, op?

(unless we’re talking about Josef Mengele and those kind of proven assholes. Then it’s allright.)

Assholes. Dumb whores. Leeches. Yeah, you really know how to motivate people and get them on-board!

Keep up the good work!

Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.

Yes, everything you said is factually true. That doesn’t mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: “MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!”

We’re fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can’t comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)

I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.

In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.

More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.

But… Removing the excess sounds nice but isn’t. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.

You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.

Name one company which does. There aren’t. Every corporation is big, cumbersome and full of people who make mistakes and don’t follow procedures.

In other news, water is wet. I only see FUD here.

For reasons unknown this reaction was placed wrongly. My client fucked up.

It is in response to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/SnotFlickerman

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone

What are you saying? Age discrimination is ok? Older people are too expensive? This is a made up problem?

Or are you saying this is ok because it has been happening for decades and it shouldn’t change because it has been going on forever ?

I don’t get it.

Discrimination is bad, m’kay? Against white, yellow, black, red, old, young, man, women, trans and everything in between I forgot. It all shouldn’t matter. Especially in the corporate world.

It’s bullshit. If someone does a good job there is no reason to fire them. If it’s true then i say to this guy : good for you. Make 'em pay.

The headline here on lemmy is unreadable gibberish with BG3 in the title. It could as well be

Layoff 5blagagasjjee Swen shgrwaaahahaaaa Baldurs Gate 3 dacghgfrtf gone. Click here for ads.

So i get where he’s coming from. On the other hand, once you start reading the ads with some content in between it becomes clear immediately that this is about the IP holder, not the game studio.

Do really really believe that?

If yes then

A) the Russians must have some supertech to hold back the Ukrainian push of the last few months. Just 112 men per mile againsts those columns of Bradley’s and Leopards. Wow.

Or

B) the Ukrainians are truly shit fighters.

I go for C). These figures which are spoon fed to us are bullshit.

Just look at the numbers of the past year or so. If we believe them the Russian army is no more and has been defeated 6 months ago.

But they aren’t. They’re still there.

So, if i must believe this, those 13% left in Ukraine are very capable, very effective troops, able to move over that gigantic front in minutes, seconds even to fill the gaps. They must have some kind of teleportation device. It must be possible, since startrek’s Chekov is Russian after all. He knows how it works.

Or maybe these figures are just pulled out of someone’s ass. Like everything else in this war.

So… What your telling us is that it’s bad. Not good.

because incompatible. It won’t work on any device. Except those of that cult. That cult whose leader killed himself after magically getting a a new liver somewhere in Asia.

You know, donor organs for which there are waiting lists of months and months.

Which was totally not weird and surely 100% legal and all. Just fine.

You know what really abouts the flying f out of me?

Even if I start with something quite heavy like system of a down, ace of spades or whatever it always ends up after half an hour with ballads, soft rock and what have you. Elevator music.

Why. Why? Wasn’t I clear ? I want metal. And lots of it. That’s what i started with. Not muzak. Stay with the genre. Not jump them.

Not to shit on you (well maybe as little) but the guy has a point.

You want them to not care. Doesn’t that go both ways? If some edgy straight horny teen wants more straight tiddies and less gay in his game, who the fuck cares?

Cause let’s be honest, that’s what we’re talking about here. Teens and desperate 30 year olds.

And don’t you think what you imply is scary?

And with that I mean : “people’s thoughts influence their actions”

I fucking hope so.

And who are you to tell them what is right and what is wrong?

The question, the problem with crypto, is not how, it’s why?

It isn’t about if we can or cannot. It’s about the usecase of it all.

For now, the only use case crypto has is wel… Betting. It’s hard to call it anything else like speculation.

You would be out of your mind to use it as a currency. The worth of crypto is too volatile. Even black market usage is problematic due to this. (did i just buy a pound of coke for 50k or 100k? Who knows? I guess we see tomorrow)

It also is too slow to use as a currency; the transaction times are off the charts compared to other forms.

It also is the most wasteful form for storing wealth.

It’s also the most risky way for storing wealth. The amount of hacks and scams are insane.

It, in its current form will never be a legal tender. Currency is about control for governments, to devalue or not, to prop up the economy, boosting it or easing it down when needed and crypto doesn’t provide that. So to use that wealth you’ll always need an exchange. A third party. Which, recent history has thought us, are very prone to abuse and regulation. they can be banned overnight. (China comes to mind)

It’s a solution. The question is for what. The popularity of it all is based on 2 things : greed and the fear of missing out. (which again boils down to greed)

(chuckles)

I dare to say 0.01%. Most devs, including open source devs are payed one way or another.

Sure, there are labours of love. But most aren’t.
