My girlfriend prefers her water room temp, and as someone who loves ice cold water, it's so weird to me. So I think I'm gonna start thinking of this as her lukewarm take.
Pizza is one of the best food forms we've ever come up with. I don't even care if you use wildly nontraditional toppings, like a chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza. Just put the shit you wanna eat on a giant dough, cook it, then cut it up and eat it. Genius.
I once made a seafood and butter sauce pizza for a highschool gf. Hated it myself but she still talked about it years after we spit. Pizza and Sandwiches are the peak of human civilization
The fevered dreams of a madman, for now. But if in some sitcom plot, I ever inherit a pizza place form a long-lost uncle, those will be called the Dave Lister and the Blue Hedgehog respectively (I have to assume Sega is more litigious than the BBC).
A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.
Any home that doesn’t have central air conditioning should at least have a dedicated circuit outlet by each window. It’s like home designers are trying to make people sweat.
I moved out of my last shitty apartment because the entire thing was wired to two 15amp fuses. If the Fridge compressor happened to kick on while I was cooking on the electric stove and had like the microwave also going it would blow a fuse. My new apartment has circuit breakers, but things aren't much better. The stove and fridge are on their own circuits. However all of the outlets are on a single breaker. If I try to run the AC in the bedroom at the same time as the living room it trips. It's rage inducing.
Humans have intrinsic value and nobody should be treated cruelly without cause. Aside from in relatively marginal places, that worldview has largely won.
I'd extend it to "people are basically the same everywhere", but there's actual disagreement about that.
The Hague has a modern, Western prison, and a relatively comfortable one at that.
Edit: So no, people convicted of heinous things aren't always made an exception. And, yes, that's cause.
Back in the day, anyone could become a slave, and depending on setting anything could be done to a slave. That's because human rights weren't really a thing yet.
I'm okay with piracy. I think a lot of people feel the need to justify it with phrases like "it's not stealing it's just copying," among others. To me that seems like being in denial about the moral ambiguity of what you're doing. There's so much free media out there you don't need to pirate the stuff that isn't.
Personally I'm okay with being told I'm a thief and am scamming the creators who worked hard on a product. Idc I'm broke, bored, interested in your thing and can steam it in HD from a website instantly. No login, no ads, no worries. I'm a pirate through and through and part of being a pirate is being morally bankrupt lol.
You are mostly scamming the corpos who host the content, which is a-ok in my book. If you really want there are lots of ways to support the actual creator much more cheaply than paying for a subscription to the hoster of the content. It always helps me to remember all the times that those companies screw us by changing rates, adding ads, restricting starting options, etc without providing better content to justify it. This is just payback, really. See also, stealing from your employer
Copium bruh. The creators are making this content with the expectation of being paid for their labour. By pirating you are denying them of this regardless of your reasons for doing so. Saying it's mostly "corpos who host the content" is the ones you're scamming is just shifting the blame. If nobody paid for subscriptions etc corporations wouldn't profit and thus wouldn't host or fund content and it's creators. Obviously giving creators a larger slice is better, but denying them of anything because you think that is hypocritical (which I am)
Kudos to you, I did intentionally ignore that point for brevity. No point in addressing it if noone was going to followup on it.
It is going to take a lot more piracy, like 500x to make buying the rights not a lucrative investment. So at present it just reduces their gains. In the long term it actually made it so that they stopped buying rights, then they might go back to royalties or something to reduce thier upfront investment. That would actually be good overall for both us and creators as it would increase the chances of the creator making out big early in thier career when something small takes off. Creators themselves are more likely to invest that early money on higher risk projects which will lead to more variety in the overall offerings and more new creators being able to make a living creating.
From a technical standpoint and a legal one, piracy is copyright infringement, not theft. It's a similar behavior but fundamentally different altogether at its core, largely because the victim of piracy does not lose anything tangible, only a perceived opportunity of a sale (which can be argued as not having been an opportunity in the first place depending on who is performing the piracy).
Both are bad, but people calling piracy theft have a terrible misunderstanding about it.
Yeah seems like there is about a 5% loss in sales for new movies and negligible loss for everything else according to that source. Notably the source does not say that piracy increases sales but of course it didn't why would someone read a fucking source before citing it. I mean it's not like the source addresses specifically what questions the source attempts to answer and the results they found in the opening fucking paragraph.
btw if you ever have a Christian hounding you about it tell them "Jesus pirated fish and bread, and you support him" and watch them think through how to still disagree with you (they will never change their opinion) but support jesus no matter what
I think components being 3d printed is more likely. It's pretty hard to do cookie cutter complex objects like apartment buildings and family homes. Things like bricks, supports, ducts, pipes, insulation are much more adaptable. I think a hot take of mine is that 3d printing isn't gonna be the next big thing in construction and manufacturing. There's really sophisticated and efficient methods of doing those things on an industrial scale now that I don't see 3d printers matching. I do think 3d printers will play a bigger role for personal use. Having a tool that could print out many different household objects just for one person seems useful. Things like toothbrushes, housing components for electronics, ceramics like plates and glasses.
Anti-Stratfordians are classist kooks who completely ignore historical research, historical context, and evolving literary criticism, and thereby miss what actually makes Shakespeare uniquely enduring among his peers. I know I'm actually in the mainstream here. I just hate them sooooo much, it... it was like flames... FLAMES on the side of my face...
Phrasing matters here. There are many similar words you could have used, and I would probably agree with many of them, but you went with:
There's no incentive for showing compassion online, apart from virtue signaling.
If you believe there is NO other reason to be nice, other than virtue signaling, that means that EVERY time you see someone being nice online, you assume that they are only doing it to create the illusion of being a nice person.
This is where phrasing comes in.
If you said many or most people are only nice for this reason, we could debate the quantity, but for the most part I'd agree with that.
But you said there is no other incentive. I have no interest in virtue signaling, but I do like to be compassionate online. I can think of various reasons why I personally show compassion online. Since you can't think of a single other reason, it must be because you've never experienced them. I must assume that any time that I see you showing compassion, it must be because you are virtue signaling, because that's the only reason you've ever experienced, and you assume that everyone else is doing the same.
Perhaps you didn't mean exactly what you wrote, but based on the words you used, that's what you told us.
I won't say that's wrong, but I look at it the other way around. I'm friendly on here because I want to create community. I know I recognize a lot of the same names every single day, and I'm sure they recognize mine as well. By being cordial to each other we create the community. No platform can create a community by itself, it's up to the users to do that. Toxic people create a toxic community, nice people create a nice community.
So, my incentive for being friendly is to set the tone for my community. Even when I disagree with people, I try to make my points, and have a conversation instead of insulting people and yelling obscenities at them. Don't get me wrong, if you come on here with some Nazi shit, I'd give you all the hell I can muster, because I don't want those people to feel welcome here.
I have a feeling that your down votes are from other people who are friendly and just appreciate people being nice and don't assume they are virtue signaling.
This makes so little sense. Why would I care about signalling my 'virtue' to a bunch of anonymous people who have no idea who I am? I can say something nice or harsh because I believe it was affect the people who read it, even though I'll never meet them. That is rational even if it doesn't benefit me, if I care about the experiences of other people. But acting a certain way to gain positive regard for an anonymous identity is dumb af.
And the main reason I or anyone else acts compassionately online is probably just that it's the first and easiest reaction. I don't troll or harass people, even if I would suffer no consequences from it, simply because I have no interest in doing so. I say something nice because that's what I want to say, it's not an effort or a cost.
I think you missed the point completely. What I meant is people are busy sending thoughts and prayers to war & disaster victims but fail to show true compassion when someone online is going through a difficult time or otherwise misguided
Ok well maybe there is a very very tiny incentive (compared to real world behaviour) but it really pales in comparison to all the general cold-heartedness
There's no incentive to virtue signal either, though.
For most users there's no incentives of any kind, and they go to their default, which is alternatingly butthurt and mildly helpful. A minority are sadistic, virtue signaling or similar. And of course, everyone is horny.
Allied with - "I just say it like it is", nope motherfucker, you say it like you see it, consider you might be wrong.
And the 'I said what I said' and 'Fact!' dipshits.
"Makes you think!"
Almost nothing worse than a thin skinned bully. If you can't take it, don't dish it.
Water is really good, you should drink it every day.

I am also a woman of room temp water preference, I'm glad to know there is hope for me in finding a boyfriend
Room temp water guy here, but already happily married lol
There are dozens of us!
I didn't know I had to put this on my tinder bio, you have changed my life
I'm a woman myself too, but I see that @[email protected] has chimed in as well! So it looks like there's hope, haha
Your girlfriend scares me quite a bit!!
I don't want to hear about your dog or baby.
What about baby dogs?
oh, go on then
Puppies are always nice
I don't like puppies. Also unrelated Christmas. I'm a kid's cartoon antagonist ready to happen.
Dogs, fuck yeah. Babies, ugh.
Awe but they're so cute!

It’s no coincidence that most pizza shops also sell sangwiches
One of my siblings just... doesn't like pizza. All of the individual components are fine in other dishes, but not together. I don't understand.
Go on, I'm interested...
The fevered dreams of a madman, for now. But if in some sitcom plot, I ever inherit a pizza place form a long-lost uncle, those will be called the Dave Lister and the Blue Hedgehog respectively (I have to assume Sega is more litigious than the BBC).
I've been doing a lot of batch cooking lately, and come to the conclusion that everything is a soup.
Pizza is just soup on top of bread.
I am convinced beyond contestation that carpeting a bathroom is an exceptionally stupid thing to do.
The assignment was "not super controversial, but I still really stand by it."
My bathroom was carpeted. By my direct ancestors. They built the rest of the world I live in, too.
People who are the most uptight about manners and language are the rudest and most vile shit talkers.
A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.
Grammar is descriptive, not prescriptive. <- The fancy way to say what you said. :-)
The most important political issues are education and the environment, because those determine the future.

You are assuming the corpos didn't just buy the rights. Cause if they did, the creators got paid already.
Why did they buy the rights from the creators, tell me. Go on. Think a little.
Kudos to you, I did intentionally ignore that point for brevity. No point in addressing it if noone was going to followup on it. It is going to take a lot more piracy, like 500x to make buying the rights not a lucrative investment. So at present it just reduces their gains.

Studies consistently show that piracy increases sales.
Got any of those?

I like putting black cardamom in my chai
You can't just make up words like that
Today is your lucky day!
Ingredients:
5 green cardamom
1/2 black cardamom (or more but it can be overpowering)
a bunch of ginger, chopped a lot (idk how to measure ginger)
5 peppercorns
2ts indian black tea
water
3% milk (enough to equal the amount of water because I love milky chai)
Ingredients but optional:
1 edge star anise (or fennel or smnk)
a bitta cinnamon
Directions:
put spices in mortar
pulverize with pestle
but in water with ginger on stove
simmer 20 minutes
add tea leaves
simmer 10 minutes
add milk
simmer 10 minutes
let cool
strain
enjoy!
Can be simmered for longer but I don't have time for that in the morning. Smells great tho
Cardamom is a spice derived from the seeds of various plants in the ginger family. It's known for its warm, sweet, and slightly citrusy flavor with hints of eucalyptus and mint. It's used in both sweet and savory dishes across various cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and Scandinavian
cardamom is one of the secret ingredients in my chili. I also use cinnamon and whiskey in the recipe.
Different strokes for different folks.
As a stroke survivor, I knew I was always getting the short end of the stick, but damn I really struck out
Wherever you go, there you are.
Private soil farming is a great business model. Low cost, high demand. With fewer chemicals and wider practice, the trade will be more sustainable.
More houses will be 3D printed — and smaller — in the future.
The internal combustion engine is the largest technological mis-step in human history.

People who are always the hero of their own stories are not trustworthy narrators.
Either watch the movie OR read the book. Never both. Both just leads to disappointment at the cost of your time.
There are notable exceptions, LOTR comes to mind, well executed adaption IMO.
A violent revolution won't solve anything
That's warmish on Lemmy, although even here 99% of them are armchair revolutionaries and actually quite comfortable as things are.
People who destroy public toilets with piss or shit should be forced to sit down for a year. Public bathrooms would be cleaner for it.

Follow the Rule of Law
If you can't say something nice...
Being online would be lot better, and I think we would learn more. Trying to implement this in myself. I wasn't raised right.
People have their minds turned from 'learning mode' to 'i am correct' mode wayy too much
There's no incentive for showing compassion online, apart from virtue signaling
That's a very depressing take, and I think it says more about you than anything else.
What does it say about me? I don't think online culture promotes compassion, although I think it's the main value in human existence
Phrasing matters here. There are many similar words you could have used, and I would probably agree with many of them, but you went with:
There's no incentive for showing compassion online, apart from virtue signaling.

Perhaps you didn't mean exactly what you wrote, but based on the words you used, that's what you told us.
This implies you knew what their intent was but being a pedant was more important.
The irony of doing it in this thread with this comment from @[email protected] is too perfect.
Not at all. I was open to the possibility that they didn't mean that, but I wrote my response under the assumption that it was their position.
That was essentially my way of saying, if this isn't what you meant, let me know.
Seems a lot more expedient to say "if this isn't what you meant, let me know".
No need for multiple paragraphs of pedantry about language on an AskLemmy post inquiring about people's opinions.
Still not my intent there, but maybe you just don't get my tone. No worries.
Excuse my phrasing, but I stand by what I wrote. Tried to keep it brief.
Online platforms today do not offer any incentive for true positive behaviour, due to lack of community.
By the way your response and all the downvoting kinda proves my point. Compassion shows also in how you process what you read
I won't say that's wrong, but I look at it the other way around. I'm friendly on here because I want to create community. I know I recognize a lot of the same names every single day, and I'm sure they recognize mine as well. By being cordial to each other we create the community.

I think most people get a dopamine response from being kind.
Ok well maybe there is a very very tiny incentive (compared to real world behaviour) but it really pales in comparison to all the general cold-heartedness
Sometimes people are just nice.
Indeed! Hope you had a chance to be nice today too
I did! You too 😊
There's no incentive to virtue signal either, though.
For most users there's no incentives of any kind, and they go to their default, which is alternatingly butthurt and mildly helpful. A minority are sadistic, virtue signaling or similar. And of course, everyone is horny.
Of course there is incentive for online virtue signaling - all the likes and shares and attention.
It seems to me positive attention comes out of compassion as well, unless it only counts when there's no extrinsic motivation for it.
There is quite a lot of compassionate-seeming exchanges you can find on here, right?
Absolutely, and I'm happy to hear you see it that way too. Online platforms don't really incentivize that though. That's just my lukewarm take on that
