  • Humenity’s selvation will come from tripping on drugs?

  • They aren’t related other than being released on the same day. They are tonal opposites so people are having fun combining them as an unusual double feature.

    Admittedly, I’m going to watch one on saturday and the other on sunday because I don’t really want to spend 5 hours at the theater in one day.

    Oppenheimer or Barbie first?

    I'm going to see both films this weekend. Which should I watch first for the ultimate barbenheimer experience?

    edit: The consensus is Oppenheimer. I'm off to see it this afternoon!

  • Learning to drive. I've met a few people who didn't learn to drive until their late 20's or 30's and there always seems to be some awkwardness to their driving. On the opposite side, learning to drive at 16 seems to encourage reckless habits to form, people I've known who waited until 18 have much better driving habits on average.

  • Uh, the first one. It's all downhill after that. It's the only one he's ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you'll see that they haven't managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you've met them by posting new ones, I guess.

  • This graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the "World Wide Web" which doesn't fit anyway since it isn't an app and giving more space to everything else.

  • It's another site in fediverse. It's a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I'm replying to your comment from kbin :)

  • Apple could do this but they’d be driving away their customer base, the hardware is fine but software is really the reason to get an iphone.

  • They do? That sucks. I've only had iPhones and have gotten the battery replaced in both of them. It's increased the lifespan of my phones by a couple of years, but it doesn't double it. I usually start to sick of my hardware after about 5 years.

  • Isn't that about 50 years? unless your grandkids are already born.

    Are teeth considered healthcare in your country?

    I'm American and in addition to our messed up healthcare system. Teeth are simultaneously so important that I have to see a specialist (dentist) for routine care, but so unimportant that it's not included in my healthcare coverage. Is it like that elsewhere?

  • aw that sucks. No one should have to have kids for lack of real choices. I hope your kid is cute and easygoing.

  • I'm sorry that happened to you. Let the business owner know that all of those kids are ruining the vibe that you patronize their business for. Solving this problem could be as easy as the barber shop offering something like a kids day where they don't serve whiskey and instead serve lemonade or something, allowing that day to be the main kids day.

    I think you don't see those adult only places much any more because to most they have outlived their usefulness. There are 2 factors behind this. First, there are far fewer children around nowadays than before. When everyone had multiple children, adult only spaces were necessary if anyone wanted to get anything done. The second, and honestly a great thing from a childfree point of view, is that between birth control and abortion, most people who do have kids genuinely want them. I suspect that most of the demand for those adult only spaces in the past was from people who were seeking peace from their own kids. Of course all parents need breaks from their kids, but ever noticed that the people who complain the most about their children are the ones who had them out of obligation rather than desire?

  • I upvote my own posts too, I do try to avoid boosting my own posts. We're from kbin though, I think on Lemmy self-upvotes are automatic.

  • Thanks for the shout out. It seems that the original thread was deleted, so I'll re-explain my idea here. The capped overall karma is to remove the incentive to grind for reputation points. There is fundamentally no point to them, but there is clearly some psychological need driving us to want more of them. This should help with karma farmers.

    The magazine specific reputation points is so that people can tell when a troll has entered their specific magazine. A troll would have high overall reputation but in your magazine it would be very low, which allows for them to be quickly identified and banned.

    @RheingoldRiver I like your idea of a percent breakdown, but it wouldn't help magazines identify spammers. A spammer can create an unlimited number of magazines with legitimate sounding names and spread out their grinding among them. The percent breakdown would look normal unless someone really dug into it.

    What I don't have a solution for is creating an incentive structure that discourages shills from creating alt accounts in order to gain more influence.

  • In the 90's you could've written an equally true headline replacing "Tesla owners" with "PC owners". It's not an indication that BEV's are a fad, it's an indication that wealth inequality and sexism continues to this day.

  • I'm imagining him planning his vacation but making sure not to do anything that would make a good video. People who know him are suggesting off the beaten path attractions, ands just like no - I'm going to disney world.

  • This is incredibly useful for me, thank you. I found your post right after backing up my comments with the original power suite delete. Now I'm editing with this fork. I'll probably delete the posts with the original as well so it doesn't take as long.

  • You can swap the ssd! Why are they charging so much to upgrade to only 256gb of Nvme storage?

  • I only have so many interesting things to say. I don't really want to post for the sake of generating content, so making 5-10 posts right off the bat seems like the wrong way to go about it. I think it'd be better to make one post a day or one every other day or so that anyone who comes in can see that it's recently active.
