We’re being short-sighted

Tell that to the billionaires speed-running terraforming this planet into a barren wasteland.

Back in my day, AMD was always the butt of this joke. My, how times have changed

“What about capitalism is worth dying for?” “Don’t ask me, employee. You’re the one that’s going to be dying!”

Simply using “they” is nothing but fear mongering. Be specific and say who “they” are and why “they” matter. Otherwise you’re just telling people to trust you without providing any reason that you are trustworthy and why “they” aren’t.

P.E.B.C.A.K. Marking as resolved.

You could just say “no.” I was curious how far your logic would go because you said, and I quote, “it would be forcing people who prefer Ben & Jerry’s to either have vegan ice cream or switch to another brand”

Like, dude, come on. You have to hear how ridiculous that sounds. Nobody is forcing anybody to eat ice cream. And also, though this is just coming from my experience, I’ve never met anyone who exclusively likes Ben & Jerry’s. Bad ice cream is almost always better than no ice cream so I would challenge you to find someone who would be upset about needing to eat ice cream that was created by any brand other than Ben & Jerry’s.

Would it be accurate to rephrase your argument like this?

“Ben & Jerry’s changing all their recipes to use only vegan ingredients would be anti-freedom”

A. Ben & Jerry’s moving to exclusively vegan ice cream is in no way forcing people to live their lives a certain way. Recipes are not protected by copyright law so anyone can make and sell ice cream however they want.

B. The dairy industry wreaks havoc on the planet. It would benefit everyone if the dairy industry disappeared or at least shrank

The year of the Linux desktop will happen when a large (EDIT: large, CONSUMER-FOCUSED AND CONSUMER-FRIENDLY) company decides to donate a remarkable amount of resources to the development and maintenance of a specific distro to make it user friendly and give it the feeling that someone who actually knows better than most users is taking care of important stuff in the background.

…Valve? 👀

That’s my point. According to BMI, the likes of Dwayne Johnson are obese so that’s why it’s worth asking what standard of obesity the graph is referencing.

If BMI is bad for measuring individual health, why would it be at all good for measuring a large population?

Hop on a 6 hour flight, or drive for 40 hours from most countries and you’ll likely find yourself in a place that speaks an entirely different language. In America all that gets you is someone who has a different kind of twang in their voice.

Not saying it’s right to make that assumption but it’s definitely understandable why people do.

My dad: “What, you think everyone should just be entitled to food for free even if they don’t have a job?”

Me: “Yes.”

My dad: “… oh”

Well obesity according to what metric? The notoriously outdated and inaccurate BMI?

Fine, it’s been a meme for long enough so I’ll bite.

What about this Saddam Hussein graphic was so funny that it made it worth meming? Like what element to this joke am I missing?

Thanks to Bladdivan, I’m peein’ right now 😏

We need a Lemmy dictionary so someone can finally clarify what people mean when they say “liberal”

Why not both?

Peace is something that must be earned, and the USA has not earned it. Ergo, trans rights via trans wrongs

Harris voters on the left, and De La Cruz voters on the right

It’s hard to call it war when the people being killed don’t fight back, I suppose
