55% of women say listening to Joe Rogan is a red flag
  • I think there were some clashes during the protests and also the movement got kinda perverted into some pseudo racist exclusivity and also had a lot of white people with white saviour complexes. There are also the folks who think that it should say All Lives Matter but they are kinda missing the point.

  • EVs
  • I just visited the US and I was dumbfounded how insane your city planning is. Like you literally can't just make a short shopping trip on foot. You'd have to walk half an hour to even reach basic stores because the sprawl is so bad (City in CA with about 100k inhabitants) and then there are parking spaces everywhere. Like atleast half to 2/3 of the land space is used for parking. And ofc most parking is planned so they can accomodate everyone which means they're always atleast half empty.

  • The EU has finally won this one!
  • Lmao gtfo! Lightning COULD have been a standard if Apple wasn't so horny about stuffing their money up their walled-garden-arse. But nah you need a license to even connect to it, not to mention manufacture it. Well tough luck and good riddance to fucking Apple proprietary cables and 50.- recharging kits.

  • Which one do you prefer?
  • The tersorium was shared by people using public latrines. To clean the sponge, they simply washed it in a bucket with water and salt or vinegar.This became a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the spread of disease among those using the latrines such as typhoid and cholera.

    Definitely a horrendous idea and not cash money at all. I'd be carrying my own water bucket. Why not wash your ass with clean water (like India)? I'm pretty sure they also had soap then and to save soap you can also use soap water. I mean it's really not hard to have a bucket or well with soap water and use flowing water to rinse.

  • 75 cops, 6½ hours of gunfire, for an eviction in Pittsburgh
  • Just because a male day care worker has 100 kids to watch and commits a crime with one of them doesn’t make every other man who enjoys caring for toddlers a criminal.

    Hmmm, I wonder why people still don't trust a man with their child...

  • How many hours a day do you actually work?
  • I believe working 2-3 days a week would actually be enough and with the right organization method would allow even crucial 24/7 positions to be manned (like nursing and care staff). Plus you'd basically never be understaffed because you'd have lots of backups.

    8 hours a month sounds a bit too utopian to me.

  • no racism rule
  • People can't read your mind and you didn't specify anything. You just called a whole ethnicity "eww" and only gave reasons after you got called out on it. Just because you're a poc doesn't mean you can't be racist.

    Hispanic and black people are eww because they're religious fanatics and the homes of my hispanic and black friends were a mess and had Jesus all over them and they're all either corrupt or criminal. But lolol I'm not racist because I'm mixed Indian so I'm a poc and you already talked about Indias problems.

    You see how bad this sounds?

  • [meme] Trains -- not driverless cars -- are the future of transportation
  • What needs to happen first is fuel price needs to be so high that people are incentivized to

    a) switch to public transit no matter how shitty it is because they just can't afford a car anymore
    b) start public transit companies because there is money to be made and the oil lobbies don't have enough money anymore to lobby effectively

    My guess is before 2050 nobody will really get anything done because the oil lobby is just too powerful. Would be great though.

  • Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW
  • It sucks in the way you understand and know because nothing else even exists. No one is interested in having to cater to their walled garden unless there's money to be made. Meanwhile both Linux and Windows have many open source projects and hobbyists working on things. So you might get a mac driver for something you buy but most of the time macos is an afterthought at best in many hobby projects. Also lol mac gaming is a joke. Even Linux is getting better support now than macos in that regard since the Steamdeck.

  • Banks hit with $549 million in fines for use of Signal, WhatsApp to evade regulators’ reach
  • Haha the only thing a quantum channel does is verifying if a message has been altered (looking at a message alters it).
    Actual encryption that prevents the Shor algorithm from having a linear running time have been around for quite some time now and can be easily run on normal machines. NIST is just taking its sweet time to decide on one.

  • Can someone tell me how picturedent works?

    There's a ton of pictures on there but it seems like there's just a wall, no possibility of registering or upload so I'm wondering how 2 million pictures came on there. This can't all be done manually by a single guy. How are pics getting on there?
