sYnoxjj@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Former Spokane Valley teacher gets no jail time for sex with student96·1 year agoWait. So did the 17 year old not want it or what is happening here?
Why are the comments here calling for rape or 20 years?
- Just to make absolutely clear: im not endorsing, neither talking down sex with minors
sYnoxjj@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple pays out over claims it deliberately slowed down iPhones - BBC NewsEnglish33·1 year agoWait, are some of you people really this naive? Did you guys actually believe 🍏 reasoning? They even started reasoning that way after getting caught.
“Hey guys, let’s slow down every iPhone substantially so the newest one looks incredibly fast (even tho we use nearly the same hardware), so buyers have more of a reason to buy the newest iPhone.” - basically planned obsolescence.
OR
“Hey guys, let’s slow down every iPhone substantially (except the newest one for w/e reason), so that the life expectancy of every iPhone rises substantially and people don’t have to buy new iPhones in the years to come.”
Like c’mon guys.

sYnoxjj@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Conservative groups sue to block Biden plan canceling $39 billion in student loans0·2 years agoImagine there is a group that does everything in it’s power to block every positive change there could be.
Imagine further that the same group also does everything in it’s power to change every positive thing into a negative.
Now imagine that >48% of people vote for that group.
And finally imagine you in a place like that.
Honestly, unimaginable.
That’s not how it works—actually, that’s not how anything works. It’s not about doing the right thing; it’s all about what drives the most attention, clicks, or money.
There’s a reason every media outlet reports on every little thing the fat guy or this bozo does or says. There’s a reason you didn’t ignore this news and felt compelled to comment on it.
It’s the same reason 99% of these commenters have no idea who someone like Demis Hassabis is, was or will be: it doesn’t drive attention.
