Because you only get mo problems after you get mo than you need.
Not sure what it is with inflation, but a while ago the number was like 75k?
Money = happiness until you reach whatever threshold that’s at today, and after that mo money doesn’t get you mo happiness, just mo problems.
Your account is an hour old and Lemmy doesn’t have Karma…
So did you make a post complaining about Reddit and just forget youre not on Reddit?
You think they’re the only ones with lead poisoning?!
You could be born today and still quickly accumulate enough lead to cause effects, especially living in a city because plants can soak up lead too. If it’s all concrete, that lead just keeps moving around till something alive picks it up.
Because you’re assuming everyone thinks the same, so what would convince you would convince anyone else.
That isn’t true.
That makes FEMA bad and ICE good in their hate filled minds
Humans are animals…
We need socialized at a young age so our ingroup/outgroup doesn’t form along racial lines.
If it does, it can be overcome with logic, but that takes constant effort, and as we age our minds go on “autopilot” more day to day, which is why old people who grew up pre-civil rights movement “become” racist as they age. Or after drinking or sleeping aids.
For them it’s a conscious effort to remember “they” are really “us”.
This isn’t my opinion or something I’m guessing at, it’s actual psychology.
Like, people laugh at Alabama being so backwards for banning Sesame Street when it became racially inclusive, and they get called paranoid for calling it “brainwashing” but even just seeing people of different ethnicities on TV is enough to blur the line for their entire lives. Banning it helped prolong the next generations forming their in/out groups along racial lines.
I swear to God only the fascist option paying attention to science is the most maddening part of this.
Their voters are idiots, their politicians are idiots, but the people calling the shots aren’t idiots.
If you’re reducing them to “hate filled minds” then history will keep fucking repeating like it always does.
And it’s fucking getting old to have fascists keep showing up.
So I stead of imitating them and dehumanizing them, how about we do something with a snowballs chance in hell of working?
Eh, Rules of Attraction was kind of his top, even though they didn’t explicitly say American Psycho was the character’s older bro like in the books.
But like I said, he had a handful of good ones 20+ years ago. It sucks he has trouble paying for medical bills, no one should
But it’s also an exaggeration to label him movie star in 2024.
When he was big, it would be like talking about one of the Best Pack kids
“Movie” star tho?
He had a hit TV show 20+ years ago and maybe a handful of popular movies?
That’s counting when he played himself in Jay and Silent Bob too
Although I’m sure there was some genetic adaptation
It wasn’t so much spontaneous adaption…
There’s more genetic diversity inside of Africa than outside of it combined.
Very very few mutations have occured outside of Africa. Blue eyes is one of the few examples, but that was a perfect storm of something just breaking (what made pigment in the eye), allowing for greater nonverbal communication (pupil dilation became more obvious), and being very very obvious no matter how much clothes you were bundled up with.
It’s just Africa is so fucking diverse, that it’s rare for populations to become truly isolated and for the same certain recessive genes to become the most popular variation within a fixed population. It’s mostly just things like sickle cell that provides a benefit against a common cause of death even when recessive and only one copy is present. It’s been a minute, but I think when one copy is the most beneficial is the fastest way to get rid of the dominant for some reason I can’t recall.
So I wasn’t talking about tribes mutating on the march North.
I meant the people who would expand north were more likely to have the recessive traits, mate with others, and consolidate them.
Besides, neanderthals had better tech then we did. The advantage was our faster reproduction cycle which allowed not just for greater numbers, but faster concentration of beneficial recessive traits to suit changing environments.
So like…
We have a real example that tech was second place to biology. This ain’t a hypothetical. You’re right tech played a part, just a smaller part.
Yep.
And it’s not like someone went from Africa to Greenland on a walkabout.
It took generations for that kind of migration, some people decided they went far enough and stopped. But at every stop, the ones who could handle colder would expand North/South where there’s less competition.
They were repeatedly being selected for the people who could handle a slightly colder environment, so by the time the population reached the polar regions, all that was left was people with traits to handle the cold. Any remotely beneficial recessive gene would quickly replace dominant alleles in the population.
People think of evolution as spontaneous mutations, but really it’s just the concentration of recessive genes that have been around basically forever
Probably something with federation running behind.
Like, you’re instance A, one of those accounts is on instance B, and the ones you can’t see are from instance C.
So A has an issue with C, but B doesn’t.
So A (you) can see comments from A and B. But B can see comments from A,B, and C.
A doesn’t see the C’s, but knows B has replied.
It’s also possible your app is the issue if not using web client.
It’s risk assessment.
If you have a startup and someone offers you 9 figures so they’re the CEO and you still run the day to day…
You’d be an idiot to risk it, because any number of billion dollar companies can fuck you over thru innumerable ways.
So every once and a while someone with shit tier risk assessment lucks out and suddenly becomes unimaginable rich. And those are the people making offers on the next generation of startups.
The system is set up so the worst people possible run shit. Because no sane person would keep “letting it ride” to the point they make billions, and a crazy person who does becomes too big to fail. And once they get to that point, they’ve convinced themselves no one else is smart enough to play Russian roulette 100 times in a row.
At that point they’ve conned themselves into really believing they’re geniuses who know more than anyone.
Because your LLC is a person…
And we’d all prefer it not to be.
But business owners with better accountants than you spent a lot of money for the current arrangement.
Are there places where code actually requires the person who paid for it gets the bad side?
I hear that a lot, but it’s always just been what people said.
It’s not his best work, but Mike Skinner made a song about it a decade or two ago. Like. Almost verbatim what you typed which is why I remembered it.
For billions of years since the outset of time
Every single one of your ancestors survived
Every single person on your Mum and Dad’s side
Successfully looked after and passed onto new life
What are the chances of that like?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc9gIzRhrvY
Not like it’s a bad song, it’s just Mike fucking Skinner, so he’s got a pretty high standard for one of his best songs.
Yep, the only thing that’s lost is any mutations unique to that “bloodline”.
That rarely happens, and when it does it’s almost always something that wasn’t beneficial to begin with.
We’re all just different combinations of the same DNA. Some of our ancestors were just isolated enough for already old mutations to become concentrated enough to get expressed in the majority of the population.
Like, going off memory but there’s like 17 different mutations for eye color?
None of them cease to exist when they’re not expressed, and they still have the same chance of showing up later.
The Blue Fugette’s from Kentucky is a great example. The original heads of that family was a French man and an Irish woman who’s bloodlines hadn’t crossed in probably thousands of years.
But they both had the same rare recessive trait for their blood to be less oxygenated than normal. So their kids had a blue hue. Because they moved to an isolated location with a small amount of other families, their kids with double recessive genes lead to a bunch of blue people in a couple generations after it had spread in the population.
Even if they had all died out for some reason, it wouldn’t stop another random couple with the resseive genes from meeting and moving to another isolated population.
Oh yeah. I wasn’t trying to complain.
The line between is just a little blurry and the sub rules don’t clarify on the sidebar, so when I saw the post I figured I’d ask.
Thanks for clarifying, I’ve been hesitant to post to either because I wasn’t sure where the line was.
Are music videos where the song talks about political issues really cool for that community?
I got one bounced from /videos and they told me to post it there, and y’all let it stay up.
It didn’t seem like a good fit, or get a single upvote, but just curious how political the divide is between the two communities.
Edit:
Talib Kweli - We Outside
What?!
The 80s were fucked, but if you’re saying it was worse than the response to the Civil Rights movement…
McCarthyism…
Jim Crow…
Or the KKK destroying reconstruction…
Like, I could see saying that last one was the point, only if you start the clock immediately after resolving the civil war. Cause obviously a Civil War is what really happens after a point of no return. We lasted a couple years in between the two points.
For as fucked as the last 40 years has been, as far as America goes we’re beating the average on basic human decency.
What’s happening now isn’t new, it’s a slip backwards, which is unfortunately common when you try to fight fascism with moderate politics. It works for a little bit because they’re coasting off the last people who really fought. But all moderate politcs really are, is giving fascist time to regroup in the shadows like fucking Sauron.
It’s a cycle, and we live in a time when you can learn pretty much anything about history in a few minutes on Wikipedia
America can not afford for voters to stay ignorant. We need people who know what happened last time, what worked then, and what might work again. Stop acting like we live in unprecedented times, and start reading up on how fascism has been defeated historically.
Cuz we’re up, like it or not shits getting real again. And the more people know what we’re doing then better.
You should try reading more than just headlines…
Because people who only read headlines, are the ones to blame for these clickbait headlines even on genuine scientific articles.
In all likelihood the author had nothing to do with the headline, and the only reason the headline is there is so the article gets shared by people who won’t click talking about how dumb it is.
And then the few who actually read articles correct them.
More comments mean the post gets seen more, and people talking about how the article isn’t as bad as the headline gets more to click on it.
You’re the reason they have to use shit headlines, and they’re exploiting your behavior to compensate for it.
It’s honestly genius, but my guess is you’re going to get mad they’re able to predict people like you so well.
Yep.
A big tip that helps is most people aren’t wired to hoard resources, so when we accumulate a lot our brains want to trade that for a dopamine hit which can lead to reckless spending.
But our brains are kind of stupid, and easy to trick.
Drop $100 on a fun thing, or go online and make an extra mortgage payment, pay a credit card, or even just deposit it into a savings account.
Our brain just sees that resources went down, a good thing happened, and dumps some dopamine.
I only read the original study years ago and never saw any followups.
But as far as our brains are concerned, the same thing just happened, so it gives the same dopamine.
