I think that’s called a raspberry pie, essentially.

It is just mentioned. Just a description of what happened. What’s wrong about saying it was a white male when it was a white male? Why jump to the opinion that mentioning the gender or complexion has any other purpose than being descriptive?

Possibly because many users coming to Lemmy are pissed off by something. It’s not a platform for fun users, but for grumpy old cats wanting their unachievable utopian discussion forum, where all behave the same as they do. ;)

Criticise lemmy and prepare for downvotes deluxe.

It is not really an alternative. So many people here complaining about quality, and the constant desire for this not to become the new Reddit.

But that’s exactly what it needs to become. A place where mindless users can post the same silly crap every day, without getting shit for it. And without being rattled by entitled mods that feel they should be compensated for doing what they want to do.

Let communities talk and mods just be mods, not critics.

Some would say that most of the spending is based on greed. Individual salaries doubled to tripled in the last decade, with their head earning three quarters of a million now.

It was a tenth 15 years ago.

They started out right, like they all do. Then personal money catches up.

Well, that’s why you guys are allowed to bear arms, right? In case the cops and government get all crazy? Isn’t that the whole reason for the gun thing? So, go strike. Wait for cops. If they open fire, take them down. Mobilize more people, because the military is next. See what happens. Defend your rights. Don’t just pose around with a shotgun in your truck.

Probably language barrier. That figure of speech is not the easiest for Germans to grasp.

The first thing coming to mind is “we tried to add a checkbox, but failed, it just wouldn’t work”

To my German mind, failing means “trying and not managing it, giving up in the end.”

Failing to so somehing by forgetting doesn’t really make sense. :) How can you fail something you’ve never attempted.

It’s just a figure of speech, I know.

I’m not gravitating to that first at all. The other side of the story has been already told. I’m just saying what if. And things like that have happened. Why woulda nyone jump to the conclusion that it might be my first thought? It’s my last one. But one that has to be completely discussed and dismissed. Innocent until proven guilty. That article didn’t even hint at the possibility, it is an atrocity of journalism.

Is it possible that the girls wanted to get rid of the father of their friend, spiked their own smoothies, and now an honest man is being pitchforked?

Did that man do anything else than being present? Playing with the girls? Taking part in the sleepover? Did he have the drugs on hand? Did any of the girls have access to that drug at all? Was there a grudge?

How single-sided can this reporting be?

But after reading the initial article, yeah, probably a predator. Still. A thorough investigation should take place. There are well-meaning and involved people who don’t have an interest in abuse. It’s still possible the daughter was sick of her hyper-involved dad, and planned the whole thing. :')

Have you read the article? It was about misrepresenting historical figures, racism was just a small part.

It was about favoring diversity, even if it’s historically inaccurate or even impossible. Something Disney is very good at.

It’s okay when Disney does it. What a world. Poor AI, how are they supposed to learn if all its data is created by mentally ill and crazy people. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶

They’d use it for something else. Certainly not to keep jobs they believe are useless anyway. Someone up there will decide that the project their niece is working at requires more funding, and a few company cars.

No thank you. :)

What do you mean, the same group of people? You take the vaccine once, usually when you are a child. So if you got it for your kid, and they decided you are an archaic, brainwashed fool and didn’t get it for theirs, there you go.

Heh, my wife makes more working for big tech one day per week from home, than i do working full time for service work at a hospital. It’s a shitshow.

It’s the “they don’t even think about it” part that makes me feel this way.

With cars, it just leads to wasted space and resources.

Working in a hospital, that same thinking leads to Dialysis, Metabolic Disease and amputations. I see it multiple times per day.

Often intelligent people, but acting moronic. Not using their intelligence. That’s quite apparent in SUVs. They cost a fortune, so it’s usually not stupidity. It’s just them being mindless. And without a second thought about others.

I stand by my choice of words.

Sometimes, yeah, an SUV makes sense. Then again, driving it into a congested city, that doesn’t make sense.

If I saw someone driving it through a mountainous region, I wouldn’t say anything. That’s fine. :)

And having it being used by one person without any gear or load at all for 98% of the time.

Kinda like an immediate moron-indicator. Whenever a new neighbor moves in, or an existing one buys an SUV, we know not to interact with them. Saves time. Same with looking for work. If the boss drives an SUV, just move on. I love moron-indicators, but I prefer smaller ones.

What do people like about them? I get Americans. They have big roads and lots of space. Here in Europe, you have trouble parking a SMART.

The poor should be the standard metric.

How to make the world work with the least amount of employment imaginable.

The opposite. Not found negatives. Anti-virus software can only tell you that it didn’t find a virus, not that there aren’t any.
