Is this sugar industry propaganda? Raisins are actually healthier.

There is an aspect of wanting to dump manufacturing to labour violating/lax labour countries without transfering some knowledge that I don’t like about this kind of “decoupling”. Laundering it as a solely national security issue/CCP/slave labour I feel lets cheapskate industrialists who hate paying livable wages off the hook. I mean these were the same industrialists that laid off their own country workers to setup industry in China in the first place. I feel like the national security angle is just a happy coincidence. For goodness sake it’s Foxconn. There is no guarantee that the conditions of labour in their factories is going to change because they moved out of China.

I am predicting that news headlines 10-20 years from now will read similar to “Mexico decoupling” or wherever else dared to benefit off outsourcing.

The whole national security posturing is not entirely honest.

You know what I figured out as a man? Just listen to the other party in this order of increasing priority: body language, facial expression, their words. MAIN THING TO AVOID: Never assume they are/will be comfortable with you. Never assume consent with body language or facial expression. If they want to be romantically involved THEY will approach you.

Before I was married my mind was on alert talking women in order not to come off as creepy. This was with women whom I had purely platonic relationships like my coworkers or college mates. I am aware the effect men have with their staring. To this day when I am walking on the street I make sure to not walk behind women. If I can i overtake them. If not I just change directions even if my destination is straight ahead. Treating the nonfamily women in my life like I would treat men should be the right thing to do… but its not easy with the reputation that men have among women.

So my point effectively is just don’t be creepy and pushy. Just be polite and reciprocate interest. Otherwise just treat them like your sister or guy friend.

How is it a separate discussion?

I immediately recognized your username. Maybe take a break from the asshole shtick for sometime… and also from online.

I didn’t realize the situation in Japan was so serious to start affecting even the Dolphin!

Isn’t this not possible considering that the U.S Supreme Court threw out the Chevron Doctrine?

If its a red state they probably expect the people to pay to spread their propaganda for them.

Its easy to think about vectors in the first sense (as anything with direction and magnitude) when we’re working with classical units (space, force, electric fields, etc)

But it becomes a nightmare to understand intuitively when the vector is defined as something with magnitude and direction when speaking about units that are not obvious to us humans (like time)

What amuses me is this reads like is written by an amazed american getting wowed by some things the rest of the world already has had for decades. Whats sad is Americans have this exceptionalism mentality where if an old tech like steam and diesel caused them to rule out rail… they never reconsider even if the tech advances.

A very bad one if it requires switching off a large portion of your brain to find it funny.

This is on the people for using a discourse space that is not being maintained. I agree only that recent actions by it’s leadership team has be suspect.

“The obvious answer to this is that it needs to be balanced better. Not frightening people away with nerdy concerns over climate change matters, but taking that to the extreme and not injecting any urgency into going electric at all is a mistake. The customer-facing side of this will have to differ from the business side.”

… being scared that life on earth can be fucked up forever and lead to human extinction is a nerdy concern? We don’t want to be a normie in that case…

Being good has nothing to do with having to maintain your company’s code base that’s in Oracle’s Java SE 1.6.

You can’t just design your way out of a conflict whose solution is to change either the existing system architecture or change Java versions,

both suggestions will get you laughed out of the room.

It’s not a fair comparison when you trot out good ol photoshop. Can you find an alternative to blender? Yes you can run blender on windows too. It works flawlessly. Linux being non-viable only affects you and that shill.

It’s definitely a case of you barking up the wrong tree.

Shouldn’t you at least understand the reason why it is that way? Or are you going to blame Linux when there’s no single entity behind it?

Microsoft struck shady deals with laptop vendors to make them microsoft exclusive. Steve Ballmer effectively said Linux is cancer (probably blaming GPL license). They let people pirate their software so future technologists grew up with windows and other windows software (adobe did the same with photoshop, now it’s industry monopoly)

A community OS like GNU/Linux competes with Microsoft who has billions in the bank. It’s only in the past few years that Linux has seen wider hardware vendor adoption at all.

It’s fine if you think Linux is non-viable… but speak for yourself. Don’t go around trolling people who are perfectly fine with Linux.

Edit: if you don’t care about anything I just wrote then you’re just a horse with blinders on and I am wasting my time.

You’re barking up the wrong tree then. I don’t know why you would do that when you claim to be a pragmatic person. What’s exactly your beef? Care to tell me?

You should blame software makers and hardware vendors. Not Linux. There isn’t a Linux company that pays for vendor lock-in.

LemmyIsFantastic is a corporate shill or an unpaid troll. Don’t bother wasting your breath.

This particular user seems to be a corporate shill. I hope they are getting paid for their advocacy of the malware infested OS that steals private data of paid users. At least then they wouldn’t be dumb. This user is consistently arguing that piracy is theft in other threads but will go bat for corporations. Companies that have stolen a lot more from tax money, environment, wage theft, lobbying politicians to artificially stiffle competition, lying to congress about data theft, etc.

Edit: I meant LemmyIsFantastic not you
