the number of women who do it is such a small percentage as to be almost statistically insignificant compared to the number of men who do.
Men commit sexual assault every single day
barely 5% of them get prosecuted for it.

Listen, it's very obvious we're not on the same page. You're responding to a comment thread that contains a comment literally contradicting most of your points, and you're not being rational about it. You're spouting wild claims with little regard for backing them up - it's as if în your head, they're axioms and not only do they not require proof, but invalidating them would mean the rest of the world crumbles. And I'm sure for you, that's true.
All things considered, continuing this "discussion" brings no value to either of us. Have a good one.
Thread has a photo of a sign saying "not all men but always a man".
Bringing up the statistic of female perpetrators is simply a way of deflecting the responsibility of
No. Bringing up the statistic is a way of correcting an intentionally skewed view that is vilifying men for no fucking reason. If you're gonna be a dick about things, don't go crying when you get shafted.
Humor? Your idea of a joke is adding text to a photo. You're not funny, your jokes stink, you have two left hands, nobody read your self-righteous rant.
Actual comedians are out there grinding on the daily, going to clubs and bombing, thinking about their act a million times a day, tryna work out timing and intonation and how best to fit the punchline in the sentence structure, how to reduce filler, all this weird shit that has never once crossed your mind because why would it, you're not a comedian. And that's a shit joke, because it's not ingrained in you (or OP) how to make a good joke. Nobody's getting offended here, it just wasn't funny - or idk, maybe you're projecting and you got offended when people weren't laughing at a poorly made meme, so you responded with your own poorly made meme?
Let's face it, this entire thread has not illicited even a smile, let alone laughs. Memes are great for scrolling, but let's not confuse them with jokes.
Idk if you were around when Google popped up, but it was at a time where the internet was feeling increasingly "loaded" with thousands of info per page. One where the popular engines tried to serve you twenty different things along with your search. Here's an example:
This isn't a search engine. This is an all you can eat buffet, where the smallest plate is two main courses and three sides. And users just wanted a candy bar.
So you see, a lot of us started to use Google because it was simple. It was decluttered. It was a text input with a 'submit' button, and that's all we wanted. THAT is, and was, google's core functionality, and I think it'd do them well to remember that.
Now, if you wanna argue that's changed, I can agree to that. But I don't want morning news when I search for porn, that's just gonna kill my boner. And I don't want ads about coffee makers when I've just bought a coffee maker, that just means you're incompetent. I want a search engine that searches things and provides results. That's it. And just like Google caught momentum because they delivered this minimalistic facade that the users wanted, this is also how Google will die - at the hands of the next lightweight engine without corporate bullshit. Because the users will gobble it up.
they are one of the leading causes of death, and they convinced the world their convenience is worth it
they believe that they literally know better than AI and are better suited to have power over life and death
they're out here tryna say passengers of AI cars should sign up to die automatically, when drivers are actually the ones who are today responsible for all deaths by car
This will never be the case. Because nobody will buy an overpriced "yo, if there's ever any doubt about, like, anything - just put a bullet in my head" machine. So nobody will sell it.
Face it - you have the same thousands of pounds of metal today, and you're the only one making decisions. You (drivers, as a community) have killed before, for selfish reasons: because you don't want to die is the least selfish of them. Other hits include "didn't wanna not get drunk with the homies", "I really needed to answer that text" and "I have 10 minutes till home but the game starts in 5, it's my favorite team, I can make it". And you somehow seem to want non-drivers (passengers of AI cars) to have the same expectation that they will be a victim even when they get a car?
Drivers are so self-centered it's goddamn ridiculous.
If I were on the verge of running a monopoly, I'd be spending my money on making anything that the competition is making, along with my usual product. Because if you let them run with it and it turns out to be the next big thing, you've just shot yourself in the leg. Microsoft is no longer just an OS maker. Google is no longer just a search engine company. Amazon is no longer a bookstore.
Ads unfortunately have to exist if we still want all this online content
I DON'T want all this online content. I'm not on instagram/facebook/tiktok/whatever two-word website/app the next generation will worship. I don't tweet. I don't follow influencers. The media I consume is mostly youtube, and even that's been recently decreasing. The internet can die tomorrow and I won't miss anything that ran on ads, the biggest impact would be that now I can't buy things online so I'd need to physically purchase some items.
Fuck this version of the internet. If there's ever a moment that adblockers stop fighting the good fight, I'm cutting costs and just not paying for internet anymore. It's not worth it.
Funny, that has actually been my entire experience with corporate IT. This field attracts the type of firemen that won't climb down the pole because it's a safety hazard. Y'all are... something special.
There's a lot of discussion when you're a software dev about the best way to do things, and a lot more is spent on this debate than on actually writing code. One could wonder if there is so much discussion because there are so many good ideas that it's difficult to choose the one that is optimal for the situation.
But then you read one of these posts on lemmy and you are reminded that someone with internet access and thumbs could spare the short time they have to take a shit to egregiously misunderstand a simple fucking slogan, smugly post about their shit take on the internet, and then return to their job where they will then spend hours misunderstanding the simplest of fucking concepts, slowing down everyone else along with them.
I mean, it just sounds like the people from your Tools/Infrastructure/IT/Devops/whatever-it's-called-for-you department are fucking incompetent and can't properly configure a Single Sign-On. Took mine a few years as well, I think the ticket was stuck in the queue behind the "restart some servers when nobody's watching to see how long until they find the issue" tickets, which they seemed to be working on weekly.
Also, I can't think of any reason why SSO can't work with Mozilla or Chrome also, not just with Edge.
