I'm surprised you would say no one gives a shit when you are, in fact, responding to a post of people giving a shit.

Personally, I think that's the most offensive part.You save all of this time not having to actually take the pictures or edit the pictures, and then you won't take ten seconds to like, really look at what you're about to print.

woke rule
I don't know if I play any games advertised as woke, but I would certainly play any game that just happens to be so.
Advertising it feels like they're focusing too much on the wrong things to be making a creative work that I would enjoy.
When topics are hamfisted into a game it feels yucky. There are always clever exceptions though.

That's nice that they got a rejection letter though instead of being ghosted

I honestly just assume its fake when they dont name drop. I have no doubt it happens, but its just rage bait without any context.

The police need this for...?
I feel like these should be used as a sort of honey pot. If your police department buys one of these, fire everyone and start over from scratch.

Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell not welcome in cushy Texas prison camp, says inmate
We thought this was a reward, but maybe its actually the 1st step in her planned death. Sex offenders are typically separated from general pop for their protection from the other inmates. The public announcement may have just been the proverbial ringing of the dinner bell.

UK Woman Mistaken As Shoplifter By Facewatch, Now She's Banned From All Stores With Facial Recognition Tech
Facial recognition still struggles with really bad mistakes that are always bad optics for the business that uses it. I'm amazed anyone is still willing to use it in its current form.
It's been the norm that these systems can't tell the difference between people of dark pigmentation if it even acknowledges it's seeing a person at all.
Running a system with a decade long history or racist looking mistakes is bonkers in the current climate.

Bathroom tampons.
Boys may play with them. Which is probably for the best actually. Removing stigma from basic hygiene products can only be a positive thing.
It's not the point of them being there but a nice side effect.

Critics must rescore Dragon's Dogma 2 in light of microtransactions
Reply in thread
They got bait and switched is my understanding. The game they played included the content from the micro transactions without them being informed they weren't part of the base game.

Harvard has gone too far
I shouldn't eat ANY French fries for my health. Fortunately, my health isn't a consideration when I'm having fries. Sounds like they found a good way to use grant money for lunches, though!

Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice?
As i got older, I cared more. I uses to listen politely, then I started to look forward to hearing about my friends and family lives. Now I'm one of those guys who calls to ask for updates. 😆

Winning is so key here. I'd be pretty furious if they got out and fought someone and got knocked out in the middle of my ride.

Republican Nancy Mace says she likes to watch videos of ICE detaining people
Reply in thread
I think thats the sickest part. She could have said she delights in seeing violent criminals getting rounded up. She could say anything really. Its not like honesty is required of her (in her opinion).
Instead she admits she delights in seeing them interfere with the system. If she was referring to immigration court then these are people doing exactly what we ask of them. If this is criminal court, they are already caught and there isn't a need to abduct them from the courthouse.

CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function

I work with special needs adults. Your experiences, while valid, with many of those that arent so disabled that they actually can engage with society, do not represent those with more extreme versions of this disability.
Often they will never get to experience the fullness of life they could without. Basically, people with Downs who dont have caretakers with means are fucked pretty hard.
Of the 6 I interact with daily, I think they all would rather not have the disability, and 2 have said they would trade places with the guy in the wheel chair that has seizures sometimes, but is otherwise living a normal life.

Retiring House Republican says $174,000 isn't enough money for members of Congress: 'Most of us don't have money'
There are valid points there, and so a concession should be made. I propose congressional dorms. I see no reason why they should have to maintain a full residence in DC.
I'd also prefer if they could vote remotely since I think it would cut back some of the clubhouse antics that go on as well.

Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AI
I've learned to hate companies that replaced their support staff with AI. I don't mind if it supplements easy stuff, that should take like 15 seconds, but when I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to the one lone bastard stuck running the support desk on their own, I start to wonder why I give them any money at all.

JD Vance suggests trans people pose a “domestic terrorist threat” & FBI plans to target trans people - LGBTQ Nation
Well if you start treating them like terrorists, some might choose that path. It is a very possible self-fulfilling prophecy. Especially when you threaten their lives like that.

Jerry Seinfeld 'Regrets' Blaming 'Extreme Left' for Killing Comedy
Reply in thread
His show was a cultural phenomenon. You've never heard of the least funny comedian. Let's stop the weird Lemmy contrarianism. It makes us look more insanely out of touch than Jerry Seinfeld. (Which is so well known his name is in my auto-correct).

Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?
It makes me laugh when Europeans makes these comments. If you want to see more European centric content... post it. Its free to do.
People write as though Americans need to stop interacting with the platform, when the solution is really to increase European engagement, which falls on them to do.
