Ime with ublock it’s not nearly as easy to manage allowing only specific scripts to run on each website to make it work but with less garbage added on compared to noscript

In what fantasy world do we stop using it large scale for any reason other than supply dries up? Freight ships run on oil, planes run on oil, both do not have economically viable alternatives yet. Cars run on oil and it will take more than 2-3 decades until 95%+ of global cars are EVs. Plastic currently uses around 10% of global oil supply, so even if everything else drops to 0 we still need a lot.

Have you considered that it could not be making fun of it but rather them genuinely thinking it’s aesthetically pleasing? Because I kinda agree those photos look great.

Also the concept that something historic HAS to be preserved isn’t universal across all cultures, even though it’s very common. Personally I think it’s nice trying to do that, but things will eventually be destroyed and that’s how it goes, might as well find some beauty in it.

Reactions like that aren’t unexpected but they do make me think the responder is an idiot anyway

Thanks, I’ll have to check that out

Bowling stemmed from a gambling ban. It’s gambling if you play a game where you wager money, it doesn’t have to be purely or at all luck based (and technically chess has a luck element since white has an advantage).

Though there’s a good chance this is just a pretext to stop people engaging in things that might make them too good at thinking for themselves.

Sometimes I get clickbaited into watching one because yt doesn’t let me hide them forever (is there an extension for that maybe? Surely it’s doable with css or something), and they’ve been alright. Though the ones I clicked on have only been from one creator and I don’t mind fast talking (not sped up) and those didn’t have the fast cuts.

I also really don’t get the appeal of the format. I’ve been sent shorts from other creators and it just feels worse than the same thing as a proper video. It doesn’t overload me because it’s essentially how my brain operates anyway, but that’s also why I want things that make me take a break from constantly thinking in overdrive by simply being slow.

Might be because of local accent as well, I don’t speak a word of spanish but I’d be very surprised if there’s no difference between spanish in spain and spanish in colombia

A few years back a known guy from a game I play said something similar on twitter. Though he said it was specifically because he has had only bad experiences with transfolk so as a result he’s now literally scared of them/instantly gets a bad feeling interacting with a transperson.

Sooo many people cancelled him for it but I never saw the issue, you don’t control your fears and if anything it’s just confusing that we use the suffix -phobia for bigotry but in some cases it’s a literal phobia. If you interact only a few times with members of a small group and it’s always negative you’re almost guaranteed to end up with that reaction, and no one but the person themself can know how bad the fear is.

I mainly struggle with the executive dysfunction part. I found that preparing anything at all helps, even just opening the document I need to write on another screen will mean that whenever my attention next detaches from whatever else I’m doing, I will automatically latch onto what I’m supposed to do as the next thing.

This is the only way I managed to make progress on my bachelor’s thesis.

I’ve come to realize that this is all stock markets. They are vibes-based, in their entirety. Often the vibes coincide with economic reality, sometimes you have a powerful person bullshitting enough people to make the value go up (or down) which at a certain point leads to even those that weren’t fooled to join in because the price change is real.

Idk i do and still think they’re pretty cool. Also assholes and extremely loud, but cool nonetheless.

Da gehts ja auch um Geld, und nicht sowas unwichtiges wie Menschenleben.

/s wenn das da noch nötig ist.

Yes it bothers us. Unfortunately it’s fucking inescapable because americans on the internet will constantly assume everyone cares about their shitty country, hollywood movies are almost always US-centric, and unfortunately political shifts in a major world power are relevant for all their allies so it’s in the news as well.

I wish it wasn’t because outside of anything directly affecting us here and having some friends over there I don’t give two shits about murica.

This is obviously straight up stealing but it’s not like many artists haven’t been caught tracing. Saying that imagegen AI in general just copies existing artwork like this is just misinfo.

Reality is bad enough, we don’t need to make things up (even if I don’t think it’s intentional here). Gobbling up artwork without the artists permission to then make money off it is more than enough.

Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.

And many of those emissions aren’t something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.

It still hurts russia. Azerbaijan (or any other country proxying russian gas) will take a cut, and russia will almost certainly end up with less money for their gas than before. Strategically it’s still not a terrible move. Long term we just need to phase out gas entirely, but that necessarily takes time.

Should’ve started a decade or two earlier, but you can’t change the past.

I have never seen “Darth” or anything similar used to mean dark in german. If that’s a thing it’s something both old and obcure.

So far for me the game has done a great job of having recognizable landmarks at least. I might not always know where I am, but I’ll frequently come across something that orients me again.

I despise being lost in video games, but claire obscure has been fine because I never feel like I get lost for too long. Just long enough to appreciate the gorgeous and very weird world I’m in.

I still sometimes wish there was a map but it would probably be a net negative.

You can find unhinged crazies on both sides of just about any argument. It shouldn’t really affect what you think of the subject matter at hand anyway tbh.

Because generally, modern authoritarian regimes hold faux elections. So there will be elections. They’ll just likely be rigged.
