452·22 days agoIt really doesn’t matter what you say when you argue with people on the internet. No historical evidence, statistics, political theory, or emotional appeal can change someone’s mind.
Without getting into US politics, I think this country is going to have to learn how to resist White supremacy & nationalism the hard way. Things have to get worse before they can get better.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was the best generation of consoles in your opinion?
2·22 days agoI agree with the PS3 due to the roaster of games.
Plenty of reasons.
- The person is too young or too old or not attractive for some other such reason.
- They’re wearing a skirt/dress
- Don’t want to feel like a perv or make her feel uncomfortable.
I’m not trying to sound puritanical but there are good reasons to look elsewhere.
Many such examples.
Hey gotta let the free market do its thing /s
Can someone explain Gen Z? I don’t understand

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do YOU consider this the same as fast food?

This setup could be used for anything. Crazy versatility

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had end all be all say, what limits (if any) would you put on speech (public or private).
6·3 months agoIdeologies that require harming others do not have the right to be promoted.
This will just enforce the status quo. For instance, if the current regime is fascist and requires a revolution in order to overthrow, you have effectively outlawed talk of regime change. To be fair, a fascist regime would do that already, but the fact that a fascist regime would do it is another bad sign for your proposed law.
Maybe we could carve out an exemption for “harming others in self-defense”?

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Society Needs Billionaires [PizzaCake]
53·3 months agoI actually agree with her pro-women, pro-trans, liberal takes. My problem with her comics is they’re lazy. She’s just preaching to the choir.
This is evidenced by the fact that she never criticizes the Democratic Party. When Democrats do things that hurt everyday people – for example, when they vote to increase ICE funding, send more money to Israel, bail out corporations that are “too big to fail”, etcetra etcetera – someone with Pizzacake’s following has an opportunity to demonstrate their values by making a (less popular) comic. Instead, she just parrots viewpoints that her audience already agrees with. This is grifter behavior.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Society Needs Billionaires [PizzaCake]
64·3 months agoLemmings have decided to upvote Pizzacakeslop and downvote anyone who criticizes these comics. They’re lazy as hell, and there are many better artists out there, but Pizzacake has a winning formula of posting agreeable political positions.
Doesn’t matter that the art is bad and the comics aren’t funny, people agree with the main point.
Beat me to it. I was going to ask whether any non-science fiction readers would know this famous opening line. IIRC, Gibson himself notes how the interpretation of the line changed with the change of technology.











Damn, we’re sending AI to the shadowrealm lmao
