That’s not usually how it works.
It is apparently how it works for lemmy.world, as of at least this post from two years ago:
To those who didn’t click onward, the answer in that post is apparently 2 years (by implication of its post date)
Ironically it also invalidates the top comment in this thread claiming they aren’t concerned with VPNs, just specific VPN IPs that have been abused in the past.
1·1 month agoHot take because Line Must Go Up is being blamed on "For the Shareholders!" lately, but:
It’s not just publicly traded companies. Private companies have greedy C-suites too.
At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo’s profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.
Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what’s right for society.
Apologies - didn’t realize I was talking to someone who has bouts of nihilism mixed in with their political activism like rocks in a salad.
Enjoy the block!
Yeah, Invidious went down due to YouTube breaking their API yesterday and apparently they’re still working to get it back up.
You can either plug that ?v= code into your YouTube, plug it into another YouTube alternative, or patiently wait until Invidious comes back up.
True, but your implication that I’m not doing enough while I’m sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.
1·1 month agoI just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others
Speaking of making assumptions…
How is that an assumption? You were looking down on Redditors for having less sex than Lemmings, were you not? Or was that a different /u/Almacca?
defended [sic] by me telling you off for being dumb
Are you asserting I made a grammatical error? By all means, point it out. Don’t be coy.
Haha [sic]. Sure [sic].
I mean, we’re equally affected if you want to play that game. You’ve replied to every one of my comments.
Honestly I don’t know why I didn’t block you sooner. It’s clear you take pleasure in shitting on and getting a rise out of people. Bye, Felicia!
I just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others, especially if the target is objectively higher up on the matter in question.
You can guffaw at your own assumptions about me based on who’s defended by me telling you off for being dumb if you want. Doesn’t really affect me and it appears to make your day better. At least that way you never have to work on self-improvement!
I’m not aware of any definition of “less dangerous” that involves the more dangerous job having less deaths and injuries than the less dangerous job.
I personally think “likelihood of being attacked” and “ability to defend themselves” should also be included in the definition we’re working with. Like if Person A is attacked 5 times a day and defends against them without injury 4/5 times, but Person B is attacked 3 times a day and is not trained or equipped to defend themselves so they’re hurt 3 times a day, which person is in the more “dangerous” position?
Want to slow your roll and figure out if you’re talking to the same person before going off?
Fair enough, I didn’t (and routinely don’t) check usernames before responding. Sounds exhausting. Pedantry accepted though; feel free to redact the part of that comment that involves my asking if you realized you were wrong and replace it with something about you realizing they were wrong. Better? You ready to respond to my pointing out that you’re doing a Red Herring now, or is there some other pedantic thing you want to focus on to distract from the broad strokes of you screwing up?
Not at all. If your argument is that cops should get to have guns and shoot people because their job is dangerous, so should pizza delivery drivers, who are more likely to get assaulted than cops.
Yep, I also believe delivery drivers should be allowed to carry a gun. Same with taxi cab drivers and other people who are more likely to be (successfully) attacked and hurt or killed than cops are.
See how using a straw-man argument can make for an awkward situation where you fleshing out your attack into a(n implied) question about their real position can make you look like a fool?
Cops have a less dangerous job than pizza delivery. Yes, per capita. And COVID or a cop’s own bad driving is more likely to kill them than someone with a gun.
Depending on your definition of “less dangerous,” yeah. Doesn’t really refute my argument, though. Did you want to divert the discussion with that Red Herring because you realized you were wrong or did you just want to talk about something else today and didn’t realize that’s outside the scope of this discussion?
If you wouldn’t accept a pizza delivery kid blowing someone away because they reached into their pocket, you shouldn’t accept it from a cop.
Straw-man.
Build a large enough catalogue of bulk data and anything can be used to track you.
We bought “It’s just so we can catch the terrorists!” hook, line, and sinker post-9/11.
But when “terrorism” is redefined as “making people in power upset,” we’re in big trouble.
So don’t say anything rude about Donald Trump or the FBI will seek you out:
So intent is the main thing, for you? One malicious murder is worse than a hundred negligent manslaughters?
Is there not more intent to murder involved in a mass shooter than a cop shooting someone trying to shoot the cop? Or are you one of those people who thinks that cops only sign up to be cops because they’ll have a better chance to kill people, and every single death-by-cop is murder, even in self-defense?
I haven’t heard a single person call for doctors to be abolished, despite them being 50-100x more deadly, and yes, despite them being just as bigoted as cops, as you rightfully point out.
What question are you answering with that?
How do you feel about XYZ?
“it means you’re an idiot.”
or
Do you XYZ?
“it means you’re an idiot.”
Look up Tamir Rice.
I’m well aware of Tamir Rice. You’re completely unaware of how statistics work.
Unless you think Tamir Rice is 100% of black children holding things, and no black child has ever held anything before nor will hold anything again? That’s your position here?
Rread this article about how the police works internally by an ex-officer. There is nothing that can be done at this point to reform the American police other than a complete do-over.
So your counter to my statement of fact that law enforcement has been reformed over time is some interview with a single guy, and your re-statement of an impossible to prove or disprove position?
M8, are you intentionally wasting both of our time? What are you trying to accomplish by such obvious bad faith tactics?
What did we get from Detroit? Bloated low tech shit boxes that barely make it past warranty.
Don’t forget the bailouts:
How do you feel about doctors killing 50-100x as many Americans per year as cops do?
Do you make the same calls to abolish medicine and hospitals?
Yes, that is what it claims.
