What will be left will be mentally ill and addicts which can further be helped by throwing money at support instead of punishing them.

Wait, what happened here? Is this picture supposed to be offensive somehow? Is there a place you can see deleted lemmy comments like you can see deleted reddit comments?

I just listened to the Emptiness Machine, it’s pretty good. I haven’t listened to Linkin Park since the tragedy and it feels weird and a bit sad to go back to them. But I like the song, and I’m glad they went with a female singer, it feels more like he wasn’t replaced but just added to. And I’ve always liked bands that combine female and male singers, Eternal Idol is one of my favorites in that regard. But yeah, I like the song, can’t wait to hear the whole album.

Edit: just started watching a bit of that live video, really emotional hearing them start up somewhere I belong, that’s why I haven’t listened to them since it happened. I’ll go back to it a bit later.

Sent to a shelter when his owner became homeless. That’s the thing that scares me the most for my cat. She’s so sensitive and scared of everything except for me it would break her little heart.

It would definitely work. I had my experience bonding with a lifetime cat that I got when she was a baby. Any other time I would adopt a cat I would get an older cat with older and sassy or grumpy cats being more likely for me.

oh yeah, everything is a pirate ship!

What do you mean ‘now’? Even 4chan had to remove illegal things, this isn’t new.

You might want to talk to a therapist because that is not a “cultural” difference.

But if you don’t care that other people around you think you’re an asshole even if they’re not coming up to you and saying it, then there’s nothing anyone can say.

Technology-wise, most modern “analog” wristwatches are quartz, and therefore digital, not actually analog.

Wat… that’s not how that works. Quartz watches can be digital or analog but what matters is whether it has a digital display or analog hands.

I’m a watch nerd with a collection of mechanical watches and I’m not going to downvote you because you’re right. I wear them because I like them even though I know they are anachronistic. I can’t remember the last time I interacted with somebody significantly younger than me who was wearing a watch, and as I said, I’m a watch nerd, someone’s watch is one of the first things I notice about them.

I will say that they are occasionally more convenient than other places I could check the time but I’ve built my life in such a way that I very rarely have to care about what time it is and I go weeks at a time without checking the time, just wearing them because I’m fascinated by tiny gears and springs doing their business and I like the feeling of it on my wrist.

I don’t mind standing in a small cube with strangers, that’s no issue at all. People that I’ve met once or twice but don’t know, that’s who I avoid.

You’re conflating subjective and objective. Just because things subjectively matter to you (they also subjectively matter to most nihilists as well) doesn’t mean they objectively matter. That’s where the distinction lies.

Please don’t. No cat deserves that.

If someone just comes up to someone out of the blue and says they won’t have sex with you there’s nothing wrong with being angry or telling them to fuck off… I’d do the same if someone came up to me and said that and I’m not trans. The situation in the comic is not about someone’s preferences, it’s about people who constantly bring up their preference out of the blue for no reason other than to use it as a weapon. You’ve never experienced that problem, neat, good for you. A lot of trans people do.

OMG dude, no, stop! At least put down a tarp or something.

What is wrong with that? People can dress however they like and if you don’t like it you can just not look at them, not really rocket science.

Nobody deserves to be hated for how they look. But at the same time, we live in a extreamly superficial world. Quite an awful world if you ask me.

Guy… you’re the one being superficial… you don’t get to blame your behaviour on “the world” that’s extremely pathetic. Own up to the fact that it is people like you AND you yourself that make the world superficial. Or are you too afraid to take responsibility for your own behaviour?

I think there’s a reason these posts always end up on programmer focused places on the internet. Yes, I’m sure their job is annoying, and it would be easier to not have to solve time conversion problems, but the time conversion problems wouldn’t even go away if you forced everyone to use UTC. You’d just start having to do conversions to solar time, or looking up waking hours (which is just timezones)

Which is short sighted considering it is much easier to make a standardized library for converting time zones than it is to make a standard library reflecting what different time numbers mean in different places around the world. If they somehow convinced people to make the change, they would find out pretty quickly they were better off with the devil they knew.

Education is investment in our species future… teachers aren’t billionaires, they’re not overpaid.

I don’t think you know what “meme” means… it doesn’t mean “thing that gets posted once and never again” actually it means the exact opposite

He looked at me. And I looked at him. And he looked at me. And I looked at him. And he says what did you want again?
