Reminder that he didn’t give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.

You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.

I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.

History. The first international match was between Scotland and England. The UK is a country made up of 4 constituent countries, thus, for some sporting events, due to previous national organisations being formed, and inertia compete separately and against each other.

This is actually to their detriment, as there have been Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish players that would have helped “the national team” but ended up in their home country’s team, like Gareth Bale or in the past, I think, George best.

It gets interesting with other sports, where N. Ireland joins with the all Ireland team.

Good news for you and Britain though, in the Olympics they compete as team GB. AFAIK the Scots contribute nicely with their curling prowess.

Not really. The worst that could happen is already happening with the right, conservatives are going to die the next election and reform are going to eat their corpse; unless something drastic happens.

If Kemi Badnoch or whatever stays at the head of the tories, they will 99% guaranteed die. Source :

The only thing that this caller says is wrong is that Rishi Sunak isn’t british, and that Boris Johnson would be a good prime minister. None of the tory snakes love their country, and none of the conservative voter base see a british born person who is an ethnic indian as british.

They are not going to elect a black woman as prime minister.

EDIT : no matter how many crazy racist schemes she promises to implement.

EDIT2 : If Kemi was born like 2 years later she wouldn’t even be a british citizen.

That is still more a problem of people and tribalism.

I don’t agree with the rest of your post particularly, but this is the central theme. People will fuck anything up and run it into the ground by virtue of being people, and groups of people fuck things up faster.

Fediverse is no silver bullet; nothing is. The monkey that touches the technology and tools is the source of their misuse, and the monkey never changes, although the tool does.

Fucking yeah. Can he also roll back project tempora?

Capitalism is hell when done properly. Socialism is good when done properly.

And the inverse can also be correct then, which is my entire point, although I word it more that any system can work correctly if the right people make the right decisions.

Get fucked.

Also why the fuck are they running Lula again? Couldn’t they find a person to replace the 80+year old in 4 years? What were they going to do if he died, just roll over?

I mean… Your chosen name is “postmate dumbass” why did you take offence?

it’s almost as if systems are tools that can be used for good or for evil, and have been invented to deal with certain problems, and can cause others of their own making, necessitating new tools to replace them and fix the problems they created.

you’re right on a surface level; no software is bug free.

The issue I’m trying to bring forth is that the existing software is already a legacy piece of software with existing issues. Trying to extend said piece of software to do even more will make the existing issues worse AND introduce new issues.

Well, they have chat control. Use that to violate the privacy of the people running it to protect the children.

Great quality posting standards, good job

You’re posting a bit too soon.

EDIT : And I say this as someone hoping france wins and is a full time english football team hater.

I guess what I mean here is that they can just update the old one

The old ones are still riddled with bugs. Trying to update them would exasperate the problems

It might be on internet archive

Ok, but when you do that as a stereotype you aren’t empathizing with them, you are reinforcing the stereotype of them in your head.

Your ideas, and some in this thread are quite neat.

One thing to bear in mind when working with systems is that you need to use the right tool for the right problem, and to use people tools for people problems and technical tools for technical problems.

This is a people problem.

One of the things that have been successful is branching communities; a good example on lemmy is linux.

There are communities specifically for linux shitposts and memes and easy communication. There are ones for news. There are ones for noobs. And there are ones for discussion of linux in general.

This way, you have easy shit that doesn’t drown out the main idea, while still feeding back into and out of the main idea.

However, this can lead to mod burnout if too many people leak into the wrong area with the wrong posts.

Something that might work nicely is to allow the user to set up ratios of how often they want to see stuff from whichever theme/variation on that theme. 30% news, 20% memes, 50% general discussion.

Or they can set it to 90% memes and 10% general discussion, and see stuff that’s different.

this whole thing sounds like desert camel music.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to watch the whole thing. He repeats his point multiple times :

Basically, by catering to generic ideas instead of authentic ones, you are being robbed of cultural exposure and reinforcing biases and simple perspectives you have instead of growing.

Yeah, when someone does a stereotypical accent you associate with something, it conforms more to your ideas of how your language sounds when made by a foreigner. It doesn’t make you understand what the accent actually sounds like, and WHY it sounds that way. It’s nice for you, because it panders to you, instead of treating you like an adult.

Also, it’s disingenuous to bring french accents into this, since the main problem is that the stereotypes being presented of ethnic minorities are often used to ridicule them, and deny them prosperity. That’s the difference, the french guy is ,moving from one well of place to the next and people aren’t going to deny him promotions or whatever. However, to Indian people, or children of Indians, patterns of bullying and marginalisation still exist and are exasperated by the stereotypes.

blocks some pathways to empathy.

explain how, postmate Dumbass.

@PugJesus@piefed.social would have loved that one, rest his soul.

He’s still alive, just not running the show
