It's definitely interesting but it's totally okay if it's not for you. I really didn't like it personally but it's a bit disappointing when everyone and their mother is recommending it saying it's the best thing ever.
The title 100% seems editorialized to shreds. The idea that you can generalize all museums from such a limited set of examples is just absurd to anybody.
Important to note for any readers that the suit by the US government is related to digital advertising. they're not alleging monopolization when it comes to search engines.
I still find his answer funny: “And wouldn’t that be better?”
libertarians man, I swear
feels like every other one I meet just repeats what the rest of them say without even thinking about it. Reminds me of the video I saw where a leading libertarian presidential candidate said he supported driver's licenses and the entire room booed him.
Continents is a bit of a stretch, but we can and have done this in the past just like with oil. Look up the Great Man-Made River project in Libya, which supplies freshwater from deep in the desert aquifers to cities along the coast, or the LA's multiple aqueducts which supply water from various sources hundreds of miles away. There's also the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme, which supplies water from the coast of Australia inland.
This always happens to my little brother. Sometimes it makes sense. One time he brought a book that was so big it was blocking the x ray or something. But other times it's completely random. This has happened pretty much every time we travel, I even have memories of it happening when he was like 7 years old. He's an adult now and it still happens.
Holy shit. I know it's expected of police in america to engage in police brutality but this is on another level. Taking people to a warehouse and assaulting them? What the fuck? The image in the article deeply unnerved me. It reminded me of the things you hear the CIA does in foreign countries...
I could your insults violent as a metaphor. Calling somebody a dumbfuck doesn't solve anything and, like I said, helps contribute to this space becoming like reddit was at its worst.
Have you said anything to the violence supporters in this thread?
No and it's pretty clear to me that you simply don't understand why. The people that you think are "violence supporters" are at least talking in the thread like normal rational people. It's perfectly okay to not like people! What's not okay is acting like a five year old and having a meltdown over what you perceive that they support, as well as insulting them multiple times. You seriously need to take a step back and see that you are the problem in this thread. You might not like what the person you were responding to said, but at least they said it like a grown adult.
This conversation is over and you're being blocked because I think it's pretty clear that your comments aren't contributing anything of value to this website. Come back when you're able to talk to other people without sounding drunk.
I think it might be different for dating results, but as a Gen Z member myself it's more pervasive in just general friend group culture. People don't like to include others that have different phones than them, especially if the group is iPhone and the outsider is android. I have an android currently and it's actually pretty frustrating. People will get genuinely upset at me that I don't have an iPhone, or if I ask for a phone charger at a get-together, nobody in the building has USB-C.
On the one hand it is seen as a status symbol but on the other hand it's seen as a symbol that you're a real member of Gen Z.
For a lot of my peers, the person they date never belongs to their "friend group," so it makes sense that they wouldn't consider it as mattering as much for a partner as it does for the group of friends.
edit: a good analogy I think is that gen z's look at phone ownership the same way a lot of car people look at owning a prius. They're good enough cars with great mileage and a whole host of perfectly fine features, but if you own one then you just cannot belong to the in-group.
Being argumentative is only going to help contribute into making lemmy another reddit. Many, many of us left reddit to escape these vitriolic violent comment threads that were so pervasive on the platform. It's obvious that you're passionate about your beliefs and I'm not trying to tell you to stop being passionate, but I don't think really anybody enjoys seeing this platform becoming like that one.
You said asian in another comment thread but maybe try searching for OKGO's music and seeing if there are any related tracks from similar artists on youtube. Their videos tend to be one take and they're a group of 4 instead of 3.
Where I live we have a lot of street parking so every few months the druggies or the criminals will walk down the road smashing every window and afterwards there's a wave of people buying anti theft devices and proselytizing people about leaving your doors unlocked so that they don't break the windows. It's all decent advice but I just find it funny considering how rare it tends to happen. They're different people every time of course, but it's usually like one street out of dozens with street parking maybe 3 times a year, if that. One of my coworkers even does the seatbelt trick that truckers use every time he parks his car.
It's definitely interesting but it's totally okay if it's not for you. I really didn't like it personally but it's a bit disappointing when everyone and their mother is recommending it saying it's the best thing ever.
