  • Your point? Would you donate half of everything you own or all of it? Probably not. At least they're helping.

    People complaining about rich people not donating more are hypocrites, cause I don't see any of you donating too or donating the percentage of what you earn/ have in the bank that you think they should be donating.

  • If something is very popular amongst one specific group, there's generally a reason for that. As a group bias towards certain topics.

    Example. Taking away rights to abortion is popular amongst republicans. Does it mean their views/ predictions/ polls are accurate? No. Because generally a biased party trying to collect poll data will target the promotion of said polls to a demographic that is likely to agree with what they're polling.

  • And yet you still post something you know could be misleading and inaccurate. Says more about you than the people trying to point these things out.

  • Well thank you for making me choke on my coffee. That seabirds comment really caught me off guard.

    Drugs, a breakdown, midlife crisis, or just Elon showing us who Elon actually is. Find out on the next episode of downward spiral!

  • That's exactly what it is, control and surveillance. They don't like that the public have stuff that isn't accessable. I wonder if they'll complain when they realise it'll be harder for them to hide their shadiness if they get rid of E2EE. Then again, they know they're shady, so it feels like a case of, we're shady so you must be too. So now we want to see everything you do so we can watch and control you better.

    It's not about the children, governments pull the children or terrorism card because people see those words and don't think to look deeper, cause if you go against the policy you must hate children and want the country to burn!

  • He was in a bind, cause he wanted to undermine.

    He wasn't willing to make a deal.

  • And I just choked on my coffee. Thanks.

    You're not wrong. Lmfao.

  • Oh sweetheart. Unless you account for a heck of a lot of people. Hundreds to thousands isn't a very large sample size when you take into account the amount of people with disabilities there is in the world. And you also have to account for figures of people with undiagnosed disabilities too.

    So yes. Your sample size is akin to your IQ.
    Low.

  • Twitter. The heck makes you think I use Twitter. 😹 Try again. Asshole.

  • Ah yes. Your tiny sample size.

    From a disabled person. Fuck off. COVID sucked and continues to affect me.

  • COVID is still a pretty new thing. The whole shit storm was only 3 years ago. Flu has been around for fkn ages now, so it's just a common thing. Where we can predict mutations and how they'll effect people and spread. So it's not really a concern, it's just get your flu jab this year.

    Whereas we're still researching COVID and learning about it. The mutations are different with different effects.

    Until it hits normality like flu, and predictability like flu, it's good to keep people in the know.

    I'm thankful it's still being reported about. As someone with a disability that weakens my immune system, I'm glad to see new vaccines or research into it. I got Omicron, thankfully I'd been vaccinated, cause even with the vaccine it sucked for me. And there was some weird AF symptoms, like the air just smelled like cheese, that one really threw me off. But had I not been vaccinated, who knows just how bad it would have gotten.

    And then there's long COVID, we don't get long flu. COVID had an effect on my disability and I've felt worse since getting it.

    So it's not just as easy as saying but the flu. They're two different things with different effects and predictability levels and research done into them. So instead of complaining that there's still stuff being written about it, be thankful it's being taken seriously so it can eventually just be a background thing that's akin to flu.

  • You mean like how religion indoctrinates people and hides actual pedophiles while pointing the finger elsewhere?

    And the long history of abuse of children by nuns and priests in children's homes and religious schools/ facilities?

    Being LGBT isn't something you just wake up and choose to 'identify' as. You don't wake up and decide, hey I'm gonna be gay! It's just part of who you are.

    Religion is a choice and something that can and does indoctrinate people. Maybe look in the right direction and you'll see who the actual bad guys are.

  • In terms of the suicide one, men use more lethal methods like guns for example. Whereas women use less lethal means, such as overdose/ cutting their wrists. So men have a higher success rate, but women attempt it more.

    Men having no reproductive rights suck, I hate that men have to deal with that issue. It's a seriously unfair thing. Men shouldn't be allowed to tell a woman to get an abortion or to keep a baby, as ultimately it's her body. But in the case of a man not wanting a child but the woman does, they shouldn't be forced to then be stuck paying money. I'm not sure how something like that would work, but it shouldn't be just forced upon the man to pay for something he didn't want.

  • I loved that game. It was stupid goofy fun. Serious zombie games are all well and good. But campy silliness is what I love.

    Lollipop chainsaw and the dead island series are my fave zombie games.

  • God damn, I might do this too. That's hilarious.

    Also more hilarious if anyone ever visits. The joys of being a recluse. Guess I can give my mother a heart attack on her next visit. Lmfao.

  • I used a one that was a camera and a screen you plugged in near your bed. No app. No outside access. I didn't trust the app ones.
    But it's still not up to anyone what people purchase.
    It just sucks that assholes use something simple like baby monitors to be assholes.

    They'll come for the phones, eventually. When they're emboldened by people falling for their 'for the children' rhetoric.

  • Of course they had to mention the online safety bill. Fuck off with that one, it's not 'to protect the children.' it's for control and spying on everyone.

    Smart gadgets can be exploited yes, but where do they stop? No privacy. Certain tech banned? Complete open policy where we have to let the gov see everything like our private messages, bank statements, listen to our calls, implant a chip in us so we can be tracked on the off chance we refuse to use technology they can track?
    This government is going crazy with the antiprivacy bullshit and it feels like this is going to be another 'we need access so we can be sure people aren't being abused' lie, so they have more ways to spy on everyone.

  • There was 1000 less sold to a dinner desantis spoke at. So trump had more attendees than desantis.

  • I was worried about switching, I'm not good with change. But I love Linux. It's so much better, and it looks simpler and easier to navigate. I'm lucky my partner knows what to do if anything goes funky though, cause that stuff confused me.

  • Thankfully my mum doesn't really use her laptop much, mainly for going on Amazon or ordering her groceries. Stuff like that. She asks me questions about her phone a lot. I don't even remember what phone she has. I just have to take educated guesses by using mine as a baseline. I guess cause I'm the oldest by like 20 years and have like 4 computers and a lot of gaming tech, she just assumed I know what I'm doing. Haha.

    Glad your mum is becoming sceptical of things online. Definitely better to be over sceptical with technology these days. I've shifted to Linux on everything, except my old ass MacBook which is almost dead. Too many companies out there trying to steal data and personal info now.
