Agreed, ignorance is usually where a lot of bigotry comes from, and always strive to educate and inform people.

And also agreed, she has shown her true colors and isn’t simply ignorant of facts.

Interesting how rich people being bigoted tends to bring us together!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

“The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance”

In this case, yes, it IS a good idea to not tolerate the intolerant views.

This is literally what Kirk used to do on college campuses. “you say you believe in tolerance yet you call us nazis and say we shouldn’t be allowed in politics” type stuff.

The characters in the comic are terrorists.

Just like almost every depiction of arabs, muslims or people with brown skin in general

Uhhhhh I think that says more about what media you consume. I haven’t seen an Arab stereotyped as a terrorist since like 2015. In fact, most of the TV I watched for awhile was specifically portraying “US law enforcement sees all Middle easterners as terrorists and treats them poorly and it wasn’t any of them that had anything to do with the bad thing of the episode”

Most of the “500+” will simply ignore their legal requirements and eat the fine.

But some won’t.

So it’s better than continuing to do nothing, it’s at least vocally (legally) saying they aren’t cool with it.

Here’s how it’s gonna go:

Government of california: “delete this”

Company: no

Gov: okay well here’s a fine for $200 million, don’t do it again

Company: that’s fine, we made $1.8 billion with the data, this is just the cost of doing business

repeats next year but with a sternly worded letter

Prove me wrong, California. Break companies out of existence when they break the law. Don’t just slap them on the wrist with a fine.

Either you are okay with dark humor, or you aren’t.

Clearly a lot of people aren’t, and that’s okay. Humor is subjective.

Just install Google ultron.

It’s what NASA uses.

I got an email like this a few weeks ago, and then about 2 minutes later I got a new email with the corrected replacements.

I replied with a screenshot zoomed in on the “candidate name” bit and left it at that. Didn’t even get a half-assed “lol sorry Bruh”

Indeed, and some of them (according to others) have been quite good.

I have seen bits and pieces of like 4 or 5 of them but I honestly couldn’t say which ones except black panther. They weren’t bad, they just couldn’t hold my interest and I stopped watching.

Haven’t watched an entire marvel movie since endgame.

I don’t particularly hate or dislike them but I don’t care to watch them.

“How much do you weigh?”

If they get defensive, that tells you all you need to know.

If it’s simple curiosity, and actually about finding “the right one” then surely a simple question of weight wouldn’t result in anything but a polite, if terse, response.

I mean, it is about finding “the right one” isn’t it? Surely both questions have merit and never result in hostility from either party.

“Gaslighting doesn’t exist, you made it up because you’re a crazy bitch!”

Looks to me like an old fuse end cap. Similar to one of these fuses

Whats the outer diameter of the circular end? And the inner diameter for the little hole in the middle?

I’ve never heard a girl use those measurements.

Women, however, use them frequently enough.

Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as “girls”

Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn’t know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.

What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

People really don’t seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in “dumber” electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

I didn’t even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

Thiner≠better.

Queen takes bishop?

But God the father is NOT Jesus.

Sorry but they’re canonically the same AND separate.

Well, you’re not wrong.

Maybe a little high at the time, but not wrong.

I haven’t made it past s3 of Quantum Leap yet, but the bit with god sound super dumb, so I’m hoping you’re right and I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Krycek in X-Files was a piece of shit and I hated him. 10/10 performance from Nicolas Lea. Haven’t finished the series yet.

Damn, I keep burning myself out by binging a series and never finishing them…

If you’ve got any sci-fi show hot takes, I’d love to hear them!

While I had a chuckle at the comic, it’s a little too close to “be less gay and you won’t be picked on” for comfort.
