It used to be a quick trick to find good forum responses but since google doesn’t care about any forums but reddit anymore it doesn’t really work like it used to.
Yeah, this time was pure frustration, especially due to all the top and AI responses being from before microsoft dropped their display.cpl.
Literally zero answers across google, bing, yahoo, and ddg, just google was the only search engine shitty enough to block be for it.
It doesn’t though, and trust me when I say that between my career and interests, I probably use google more than 98% of the population and this is the first time it has ever happened.
Blame a right wing activist mod on lemmy.world’s politics sub. Had a 7 month old account permabanned despite the fact that the day after my ban the mod was kicked from the community for being a shitheel. Sent the site admins the proofs, they didn’t give a fuck.
Fuck you Kingoflorida, fuck you with seven pounds of red hot rebar.
Hate to break it to you but that’s kind of what capitalism means.
Good.
Anyone still left there doesn’t need to hear about this place.
A digital card game where players can trade cards with each other. No big digital card game does this for fear of loss of profits.
I miss trading cards with my friends.
Just look what happened when lockdown gave the natural world a chance to breathe.
We COULD offset a fucktonne of CO2 if we changed our lifestyle.
But do you remember HOW FUCKDAMN HARD half the population fought against that literally while their grandparents were dying in agony?
Keep that in mind when you consider any monolithic action of altruism.
Can we stop global warning with radical changes to our consumption?
Absolutely yes.
Will it happen?
Not without direct government action.
One other thing to point out is that agriculture allowed for large mobile armies.
For hunter gatherers it wasn’t easy to stockpile enough long term storage portable food to take to war, nor could you predict periods of bounty (which is why so many ancient cultures had prohibitions to making war during winter that almost no one broke) to plan long term campaigns. This style of sustenance also kept nomadic band population low as following the herds and the reduction of ease of hunting and complications in moving gave significant advantage to smaller social units.
We see a radical increase in social group size with the advent of agriculture, eventually leading to more permanent town and eventually city living instead of nomadic bands as you generally needed to be in one place to keep others from taking your crops and tending them year round.
I fully understand that there are a lot of luxuries and even just basic life improvements that wouldn’t be available to us if we had kept as small hunter gatherer bands, and maybe a lot of people alive now couldn’t survive or thrive in that kind of environment, it would be a very, very different world than what we know today but one thing I do know is that of we had never discovered agriculture we would never have eventually become a species that could kill off 95% of the life on the planet with the press of a button.
No I’m serious, and I understand you mean well but I can’t have this discussion meaningfully with you without writing 8 paragraphs of context.
There’s a lot of what Pratchett called ‘lies to children’ when it comes to non-university anthropology, things we learned in school that were kind of outdated already and gross oversimplifications.
We were told that agriculture allowed the free time to specialize and was the beginning of culture but the truth is that all that hunter-gatherer man needed to hunt to feed himself and 3 other people was about 6 hours of actual work a week. And specialization already existed with stone knapping and pottery.
There’s a lot more to it but I don’t really have the patience to keep writing this.
It goes back to when good agricultural land discovered to be so ridiculously effective at feeding people.
Not the beginning of wealth, but certainly one of the oldest still used store of wealth.
So much has been fucked up by discovering agriculture, it was also the beginning of institutional slavery.
Write complex sci fi and fantasy stories that I refuse to let anyone else read.
Because modern media deliberately caters to dumb, gullible, easily angered people.
They craft it this way on purpose, just like email scammers.
I can’t imagine a possible world where Fox has any place in an infinite universe to stand morally.
If you’ve ever had to deal with the ATF you know why this is a magnificently terrible idea.
FDA all the way.
Yeah American TV is definitely lowest common denominator. It’s popular because it caters to the same kind of people that would like ‘ow my nuts’ from idiocracy, and those kinds are endless in number.
Again, he’s not a good host for comedy, delivery, or pacing, but his stupid face and bumbling nature is beloved by many.
Like a children’s birthday clown without makeup.
He’s really bad as a host
You say that but his stupid shocked face literally kept the show alive long LONG after it should have passed away peacefully.
I mean its almost like his semi incompetence is a cultivated branding trait now.
It seems to be a trend that any service that claims not to be evil is just waiting for the right moment to drop that pretense.
There are some people so dangerous that the risk of their return to society needs to be prevented at all costs.
Yes our court systems are imperfect, yes innocents have been sentence to death and executed.
Even with all that taken into consideration there are some people that simply need to be put down and when the evidence is so overwelmingly against them, I have no issues with this being how society keeps itself safe.
The problem is we have no way of guaranteeing an unbiased and thorough justice system, in fact its almost a guarantee to be the opposite of fair and unbiased in so may situations.
It’s fiber internet and I am the only person who has used this IP address for 2+ years and I guarantee you it isn’t ddos.
