Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe in c/[email protected]
[–] loaExMachina 10 points 2 days ago (7 children)

As much as I hate X, I might have to think about this one for a while. Sure, this platform is a vessel for fascist propaganda and a threat to democracy, but on the other hand, creating a legitimate precedent for banning a social network on political grounds might be a slippery slope. The EU has already made dubious reforms regarding internet freedom, like their antiterrorist bill which require website hosts to remove content whithin an hour if it is signaled to them by the police. I'm not sure if giving them more power and legitimacy in policing online content is a good idea...

The Current State of Reddit in c/[email protected]
[–] loaExMachina 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I've found the experience of coming back to Reddit rather pleasant as of late.

By "coming back to Reddit", of course, I mean clicking the Reddit link when looking for the specific answer to a question and reading exclusively that page.

And by "as of late" of course, I mean since I installed the "old Reddit redirect" Firefox add-on and used the filter selector of Ublock origins to remove every element of the page that featured a snu or suggested that I log in.

I don't get why anyone makes chemicals when they could be using my body.

I haven't seen the movie, but Chihuahua is also a region in Mexico, maybe it takes place between these two places?

Crossover episode in c/[email protected]

Since the beam reduces the objects into particles and reconstructs it, doesn't it imply that it's able to destroy the ring in the first place? I guess it's necessary to get rid of the particles to make it so they can't re-build it again. But that does raise the question: Would the ability to reconstruct the ring affect one the same way the ring itself would? Or does the ring need to exist to exert its power?

Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game? in c/[email protected]

Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .

Mint is a pretty sturdy plant, it can grow in a variety of climates and even get a bit invasive at times. Among the domesticated plants, it might be one of those with the best chance to still strive after humans disappear.

I'd misread the summary and for a minute I thought Trump had killed her dog and she called him out in her book.

Why no "elsetime" or "elseone" ? in c/[email protected]
[–] loaExMachina 2 points 1 week ago

I found "elsewho" through another comment, it makes sense, I actually hesitated between typing it or "elseone". I chose the latter because you say "someone else" and not "somewho else"; but "who" is closer to "where or "when".

Would it have made sense in the 80s to believe there were dinosaurs 40 million years ago ? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I've seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I'm asking because it's the date given in the the song "walk the dinosaurs" by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it have seed credible at the time, or was it just arbitrary?

I took an apple at the cafeteria (self.lemmyshitpost)
 

It was so bad Ever on and on, I continue circling With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony 'Til slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can't break free I'm slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony To tell me who I am, who I was, uncertainty Enveloping my mind 'til I can't break free and

Maybe it's a dream, maybe nothing else is real But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night You can tell me what to say, you can tell me where to go But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know If I make another move, there'll be no more turning back Because everything will change and it all will fade to black

I ascended for the second time ever, this time with freerunner. I had the seal shards and was aiming to get the "You made it too" achievement. I was surprised when I finished the game and didn't get it...

Then I remembered I let a thief get away on my way back up without paying attention to what he'd stolen...

Dude robbed me of my achievement.

I beat the last boss thrice, once with the warden and once with the battlemage. The first time I died on the way back up, the second, I was out of potions didn't feel confident, so I quit while I was ahead .

But with the monk and the assassin's blade, I made it! This combo is great, especially since the last upgrade, which gave us the [ teleports behind you, unsheathes blade,"Nothing personal, kiddo" ] attack. This really felt fun to play!

Murder doesn't cause death (self.showerthoughts)
submitted 5 months ago by loaExMachina to c/showerthoughts

Killing someone doesn't change whether or not they die, only when.

The only thing that determines whether or not someone will die is whether or not they were born. Therefore, the only cause of death is birth.

The only case in which murder changes the amount of people who will die is if a person who would've otherwise had children is killed. By preventing birth it prevents death. In other words, murder can only decrease the amount of people who will die or keep it the same, but never increase it.
