Generally the type of people who make graffiti worth looking at aren’t the sort of people who want to draw with a tablet and stylus.

Fuckin’ yikes.

Congress is a representation of corporate interest and little more. Maybe there’s some religion in there too, but it’s definitely not representing the average American citizen.

Years ago I would’ve argued real money is backed by something like gold, but here we are now, basing most currency globally off the USD which is just fiat money. So yeah, there really isn’t anything making USD more legitimate than Bitcoin as long as humans are associating value to it.

I’m not really sure how to prove this in a Lemmy comment without doxing myself, so suffice it to say that yes, I would gladly lay down my life to defend my beliefs.

Fuck that, get violent. Revolutions are never bloodless.

You mean 2002 and 2003, right?

Until you can use things like banking apps on them they will never be mainstream sadly.

Why would that be unusual at all?

It’s equally possible you’re just assuming everyone who doesn’t share your opinion is a paid troll. I got called a Russian troll multiple times for saying Biden had no business being in this election and that we could do better. Imo it’s far more likely you’re talking to a child than a “paid troll” if their opinions don’t make sense and they dig their heels in. Assuming everything is some grand conspiracy instead of accepting that some people have different beliefs and opinions, or might just be that stupid, simply isn’t healthy. Trolls and such exist, sure, but I don’t think they are anywhere near as common as you’re implying.

During the testimony, Warren’s attorney, Jean-Jacques Cabou asked those within DeSantis’ administration what “woke” meant to them.

The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

They know what Woke means, and it’s just as fucking backwards and asinine as you’d expect. Imagine trying to criminalize people fighting for equality. It’s the only word I’m aware of that is simultaneously classist, racist, misogynistic, and anti-lgbtq thanks to how the right have chosen to use it.

I mean, you said that camera thing like it was some kind of mic drop lol. I’m also not sure what you mean by “my logic”, since I don’t personally have much of an opinion on the law it’s self, I was just curious why someone would be so vehemently against it. I’m not the original commenter that started this chain.

If it’s a matter of wasted resources, I guess I see your point, but it’s a bit of a reach. I don’t know if it’s as big of a waste as you’re claiming when we have corporations trying to implant customers with brain chips like neuralink, I mean who knows where that technology could go if it ever gets off the ground. Personally I think the Justice system attempting to have a bit of foresight is a good thing.

Is there a downside to having a law like this on the books?

Also, isn’t banning cameras like a mind-blowingly bad idea? That would mean people couldn’t do things like record police committing crimes, hell you wouldn’t even be able to install a dash cam on your car.

I always thought the reason they did this was because they tie a bunch of random mechanics to frame rate in soulsborne games, and increasing it beyond set limits causes unintended behavior

This comment has similar vibes to a boomer in the 80s saying that the Internet is useless and full of nothing but nerds arguing on forums, and he doesn’t see that changing.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t the person who effectively “owns” the content you produce on Lemmy and has the right to license it be the person who runs the instance your account is signed up to? In the same way that Reddit “owns” all user generated content on it’s service because it owns/runs the service. I’m not really part of this whole argument, it’s just a detail I’m curious about.

Someone linked the fact check article higher up the comment chain.

Yikes, what a cunty thing to say.

I mean, they didn’t sell the scrap, they burned it in a trash can. Seems pretty obvious to me.
