Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?English
31·1 year agoThere is a clear and stark difference between the two current candidates and one of them is a convicted felon. This both-sides-ism is what will get that felon elected.
Nothing is perfect, the idea is to work toward a “more perfect union.” People seem to ignore that just so they can try to make a point while letting things burn down around them.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?English
1713·1 year agoBecause they’re willing to chop off their nose to spite their face, as the saying goes. Only in doing so they’re going to screw over the rest of us and apparently they don’t care.
Harris is the only sane choice.
And Monopoly is insanely easy to win. Just never buy hotels, and buy all the houses. They’re purposefully limited as a resource.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are we training AIs on reddit posts instead of Research Papers? We could be saving the world!English
2·1 year agoBecause we have brains that are capable of critical thinking. It makes no sense to compare the human brain to the infancy and current inanity of LLMs.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?English
16·1 year agoThe problem with that is it has led to ignorant people believing they’re smart — all because they can find any random site that backs up any nonsense they assert. Critical thinking and credible research are endangered concepts now.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?English
19·1 year agoMaybe not unique in my opposition…but…
CEOs. (Especially of large companies)
They rarely know what they’re doing, are guessing 90% of the time, bandwagon anything they think will make them more money or notoriety, and get paid exorbitant amounts of money doing nearly nothing to actually earn it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie would have ended at the beginning if the people in it acted like normal people?English
1·1 year agoLike somehow picking the new ruler of Numenor. Such a weird thing.
This is the programming humor community. Emphasis on the humor part.
Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.
So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.
My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, “how can you drive a car if you can’t ride a bike?” Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: “a car has 4 tires and is stable.” I was seven years old.
Never learned to ride a bicycle.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you could "Eternal Sunshine" a piece of media so that you could listen to it for the first time again, what would it be?English
1·1 year agoFirefly. Babylon 5. Avatar the Last Airbender. Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. “Imagine” by John Lennon.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it really just ageing/ getting older? How is this supposed to work? How is everyone else doing this?English
4·1 year agoUp front: I am not a doctor.
Seriously, seek a second opinion, and if you are a woman, and it sounds like the original doctor is a man, find a woman doctor. I know this sounds sexist, and I’m honestly not trying to be, but it has been shown many times how male doctors tend to overlook or not listen to female patients. You must advocate for yourself.
Anecdotally, my spouse has had this happen numerous times. And it is extremely frustrating every time because it’s effectively a waste of time and money. And, something could be seriously wrong (not saying anything actually is), so you should make very certain at minimum that certain testing is done such as various tests from blood work and/or urine testing.
What a weird way to open a post.
Yes it’s all propaganda.
One set of propaganda is based on lies.
The other set is based on emotion.
I don’t buy into lies like so many people seem to.
While I also won’t buy into emotion, since I try to use logic and reason as much as possible, I will support those who don’t have a campaign built upon lies, deceit, and felonies.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What stupidly easy tech solution do people gloss over all of the time?English
2·1 year agoHave you tried turning it off and on again?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What should I do about my parents moving closer.English
3·1 year agoIf you don’t think it will end well having a preemptive conversation, then something else is wrong with your relationship to your parents.
You are an adult. You set the boundaries.
I forgot about that.
