You guys are aware you can filter by language in the settings of your Lemmy account, right?

I feel sorry for the son who couldn't vote. But if I were to guess, the apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree.

Without knowing though, I feel sorry for the son

A friend of mine when I was 12/13 downloaded some hacks for Combat Arms (a free FPS back in the day) and made his windows unusable (with "noob" as the time).

Good memories

Original commenter was making a joke, it's called hyperbole.

There are cases where your sentiment makes sense (Women disparaging someone about dick size for example. Not sure how that's different from men commenting on people's boobs), but this isn't one of those cases.

The commenter doesn't actually advocate killing someone because they bumped up against them.

I think you should consider lightening up.

6 toes on the back paw. Including the "thumb" that's underneath, that's 7.

I'm pressing X to doubt on this one

come from the Christian crusades originally

To me, this is equally as bad as Nazi symbology

America, you need to riot. Like yesterday. Do not let this happen. You're too much of an imperial power, it's gonna fuck us all over.

Fight them in every arena. Stop rolling over.

Too much to lose to fight back? Just wait, you'll live to regret it. And so will we.

If they keep not complying, which is my understanding of what apple has been doing, they should absolutely be bankrupted. Or something drastic.

A warning, which will make other companies self-Police, bringing down the cost of enforcement.

Countries are so permissive of corporate bad behaviour it's not even funny.

Maybe you should try 7 hours straight + 1 hour gay. Everyone has their own _ch_romo type

I hear you but what cranked it up to 1000?

I unfortunately am not versed enough in the topic to give a full answer on this, I'd guess upbringing, then personal experiences?

I suppose it's similar to people who are arseholes in general.

Sorry for the very underwhelming answer haha

Personal experience from when I was newly an adult, and chatting with a female university classmate and somehow got on the topic of games and I started explaining what Steam was, because I just subconsciously assumed, her being a woman, didn't know.

She politely pointed out I had mansplained to her.

I am very thankful to her for the experience as it's stuck with me and saved me from making a fool of myself on more than one occasion since.

I'm sure there are possibly small things like this, that you may have been been "guilty" of in the past.

These men, are engaging in similar behaviour cranked up to 1000.

However, it's even more malicious with them, because it's not like the last 30 years or so haven't had constant and increasing messaging (in the anglosphere, at least) about feminism and ways in which women have been treated unfairly.

So, it's not like they haven't had the opportunity to reflect, and change.

In summary, yeah, it is kind of baffling, but I will say society, while largely better than 30 years ago, still does have structural as well as conscious and unconcious bias towards women.

So I'm not surprised people like this exist.

Then it'll just be so in my heart

This feels like a Lemmy OC, is it?

I have no shame of never having been a good speller. I went through school without spell-check and I get by, but heck, spelling bees aren't a thing in many languages.

Ya know, because they HAVE a spelling system which they bother reforming to stay up to date, and not 10 in a trenchcoat.

I recently learned misspellings and the pendants who wrote about them is one of the ways we reconstruct ancient pronunciation.

So. Really people who couldn't spell in the past were heroes ;)

This is the real answer. The french aren't the pretentious ones in this story, they're the plebs who don't know any better haha

(All in good fun)

REEEE MM/DD/YYYY Burn it with fire

Missed opportunity to call it "AkkuBattery" for all the dual language pun enjoyers out there 🎩

How so? At least dots haven't prevented me in the past (windows, Mac, android, various cloud storage).

We need to be moving before technology becomes profitable. This is one of the major downsides of capitalism. We temper it somewhat with government investment and regulation, but buy-in-large, the profit motive is what drives practically all economic questions.

We simply do not have time.

We need to building more energy storage, like yesterday.

It just hasn't made much financial sense to build it, because fossil fuels were cheap, now we're slowly getting started.

If the profit motive wasn't the motive above all else, we could get a whole bunch more done in the fight on climate change.

We can't wait for capitalism. It's just not fundamentally aligned with our preservation, it's aligned with profit motive.

We're lucky it's becoming more profitable. But we're still massively reliant on fossil fuels. It's way, way, way, way not fast enough.

And yes, capitalism is the problem. If governments weren't so afraid of being criticised for how they run something we'd bring back more state run organisations and just start building, even if it runs at a "loss".

Or at the very, very least, we should be directly contracting private companies to build and maintain the infrastructure, but WE own it. Not them.

Conclusion, capitalism isn't the only economic system we can imagine. We already temper it. We used to even temper it more than we do now (post-world war II in the anglosphere, as an example, until the neo-libs privatised practically everything).

The neo-liberal experiment has been a colossal failure.

Capitalism isn't the end of history.
