Man.

blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Views about Christian prayers in public school, by state1·2 months agoI wouldn’t agree to the logical part, but sure. It was more a harmless joke than me trying to win an argument or something. =)
blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Views about Christian prayers in public school, by state1·2 months agoYeah, are you ever convinced as an agnostic? I thought, that was the point.

blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto Android@lemdro.id•Anyone else getting really sick of Gemini assistant?English3·3 months agoThen stop asking crappy assistants to pleasure your wife with surprise music. Just do it yourself next time.
Oh, you have done good to question this. It is a pseudoscience and the documentary you saw is not a trustworthy source.
I quickly slapped together an uncomplete list how to spot bullshit like that. Just from your description, I would say at least three boxes are checked here.
-
Overgeneralization: A single phenomenon is claimed to explain a wide range of unrelated issues.
-
One-size-fits-all solutions: A single treatment or method is said to cure multiple, diverse ailments.
-
Lack of specificity: Claims are vague and lack detailed mechanisms or explanations.
-
Appeal to tradition: Claims are based on historical practices rather than scientific evidence.
-
Extraordinary claims without extraordinary evidence: Bold assertions are made without sufficient proof.
-
Emphasis on personal testimonials: Reliance on individual stories rather than systematic research.
-
Use of jargon: Complex terminology is used to sound credible without substantive backing.
-
Avoidance of peer scrutiny: Claims are not subjected to rigorous testing or peer review.
-
Dichotomous thinking: Issues are framed in black-and-white terms, ignoring nuances and complexities.

Evolution is really great. I was able to make Kmail work, so because it integrates best into Plasma, I am using that. But setting it up was not a fun experience.
Fuck breeding, anyway.

blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine?5·6 months agoNah, depends on your position. Our departing government wasn’t too great, because one party (neoliberal shits called the FDP) sabotaged it from day one and the biggest party, the SPD had (and still has) a very bad leadership. So because people want change and are apparently not able to make rational choices, they will most probably give many voices to the conservative (think Democrats in the US) party, which will make an absolute piece of shit (Faschofritze Merz) their Chancellor. So from a US or russian perspective, we are totally fine, but I really fear this sunday (voting day)
That is simply not true. It is a pretty annoying process and often takes time to get a therapy, but nobody I know, including myself had to pay for this. And I know that because most people here are pretty open about therapy nowadays. There are more than enough problems with the German health care system, but OPs description fits my experiences muuuch more than what you describe.
blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro videoEnglish6·7 months agoHey, that is a useful job! Do you always have opinions on things? Are you sure, you always have the right opinions? Come on, let’s make sure and watch a person with a funny face watch other things and move said face in a way, we can immitate!
blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto New Communities@lemmy.world•!antisexism@lemmy.today - a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against all sorts of gender-based discriminationEnglish15·7 months agoTo be honest, this is the first time, I heard that masculism is supposed to be more than slightly veiled anti-feminism. Maybe there are different roots for that expression? In Germany, the word is absolutely burned and every person calling themselvese masculinists are trash, as far I am aware of.
I think your idea about a community that wants to adress everybody by using the neutral term antisexism is a good idea, though.
blackris@discuss.tchncs.deto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•What are your favorite pre-2000 computer games?English3·8 months agoWhere did you get that info? Checked Mobygames after Wikipedia. They also date G1 to 2001. G2 is from 2002. I was sure about the date, because I heard the Gothic episode from the amazing german podcast Stay Forever a few days ago and am now playing the first game. 😁
Edit: worldofgothic also lists the 15.03.01 as the release date for the german version.
Edit 2: my Lemmy app doesn’t show the strikethrough and I am a bit too hungover to understand your edit without reading it four times.

I don’t want that AI crap, a shitty smartwatch or glasses or anything. Just a device big enough to read my PDFs, scribble a bit, play some games or read the newspaper while commuting.
The Pixel Tablet used with GrapheneOS is perfect for that. I really hope mine does hold up a few years, when Google has such a lack of imagination.
