Silentiea , to World News in British TV presenter Mosley found dead on Greek island of Symi

I somehow missed the word "dead" in the headline and started to scrutinize why, exactly, it was newsworthy that some broadcaster was found on a Greek island.

I recognize the tool used and it genders me correctly all the time, so probably not what she's going for

What about the trans women who have "vagina, tits, and face"? Checkmate, atheists.

I mean, isn't that also just true of anyone you've interacted with? Their point was that they never "found out" someone they were dating on there was trans, and everyone that dated from those apps who oc every discovered were trans were straightforward about it.

Why would you need or want to be that precise about your language?

It'll exclude plenty of people, it just won't do a good job of selectively excluding trans people.

They are realities that need to be dealt with if we made the ethical decision to not consume animal products anymore.

It's kind of just whataboutism. I don't really have a horse in this race, but I find it somewhat unlikely that most reasonable people are suggesting every human immediately stop eating animal products forever. A transition to a world where people eat less of them doesn't need us to figure out how to feed the people of Longyearbyen right now.

How do people afford food when they don’t live in a place that can grow it? How do we ensure we can continue to grow food when we are so dependent on chemicals to do so? How does a developing country support agriculture without the huge subsidies currently required in developed nations? How do you educate 8 billion people on how to properly get the nutrients they need from new sources of food? How do convince society that GMOs aren’t bad?

Almost all of those are just straight up the same problems that already exist in the current system though?

Silentiea , to Ask Lemmy in Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see?

Silentiea , to memes in Lifehack
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah, it's not the very idea of Santa I'm railing against here, it's using him as a bogeyman to control behaviour.

@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

In their house, my sister is already using the threat of Christmas big brother against any minor hijinks that their kid gets up to.

Oof, that seems a bit much to me. Does she tell stories about the bogeymen or Baba Yaga, too? I'd rather my child be concerned with the actual consequences for their actions rather than the imagined ones

Bitcoin is mostly being spent on electricity and new hardware more Bitcoin.

Silentiea , to Showerthoughts in In Star Trek, Commander Data is socially awkward because he lacks training data. This might be because he was built and developed in isolation from the rest of society.
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

They are referring to Star Trek: Picard as 'nu trek', not TNG

Silentiea , to Technology in Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I agree. If this were actually addressing the problem in question (bad faith actors harvesting data) then sure, but it isn't really because the other options are still suffering from the same problem. If anything, this entire discussion is a whataboutism to avoid talking about how more electric cars lets us phase out the ice ones.

Silentiea , to Ask Lemmy in What are some of the earliest "firsts" that we have a definite date for?
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

If we know that time precisely and accurately, then we don't know any other times more precisely than millions or billions of years ballpark
