Am I misunderstanding something? You think the monarchy had to follow laws? Didn’t they make the laws? Or you think the monarchy didn’t count as rich? Just because Elon is the richest? It took much less wealth to get away with egregious (by today’s standards) crimes in the past.

Where are you getting that people who survive are happy? Happy immediately or over time eventually they’re glad? What about all the people who have multiple attempts? Maybe some are jolted out of their mindset when suicide intervention happens, sure, but how many are just trying to get out of psychiatric care/ suicide watch by agreeing they’re happy now. Also maybe people who don’t succeed are half assing the attempt and of course are happy in the end it didn’t work out. Idk. As someone who attempted this line always rings untrue to me.

Technology@lemmy.world•I rented a car, and within hours, my driver's license was for saleEnglish
2·4 days agoI’m sure in the hour long to read rental agreement you don’t have time energy, or the law degree it takes to understand, you waive your right to any lawsuit and have already agreed to settle out of court.

6·4 days agoI read that if you use a personal device for anything work related in the US, it means your entire personal device (everything on it) can be considered discovery in a lawsuit against that company. Big risk to take.
Omg good to have you here

childfree@lemmy.world•There's not one place I can think of that I'd want to go to with a kid in tow
46·5 days agoDisney is great with both. Fun as an adult, but more fun to see magic through a kid’s eyes. Probably not somewhere you’d want to be regardless if kids annoy you though.
I wouldn’t want to go to the beach with any ol kid, but I felt practically high bringing my kid there the other day. The ocean has never felt so magnetic, and I’ve never wanted to stand in the sand and do nothing for as long. As an adult it’s cool to see the little clams burrow down in the turf for a minute. With a kid, it’s mesmerizing for twenty. Things hit different with someone experiencing a concept for the first time. It’s cool to be around.

AI@lemmy.ml•Google AI Giving Staggeringly Racist “Advice” About Being Alone With Certain Groups of People futurism
1·5 days agoYou said being alone with someone implies distrust. I’m saying it doesn’t and it depends on your biases. Being alone with an Australian according to my biases implies you’re trying to be alone with them to maybe ask them out and you’re nervous.
Being honest with yourself about your initial thoughts on these things is the first step to stamping out your inherent bias. Recognizing the thoughts and pondering the experiences and possibly propaganda that led to them is important.
Pretending you’re above having an implicit bias is naive and dangerous.
I am agreeing with you that a machine should not give out different answers based on untrue and often hurtful human bias.
Huh. I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing. I’ve used many recipes that call for throwing all the frozen ingredients directly in
I mean good to make cars less dangerous but doesn’t this disproportionately hurt the poor? Like well off people have newer cars, and can afford to fix any code violations, but broke people are just trying to get to work. If I had lost my janky car when I was just starting out, I wouldn’t have been able to ever save up for a nicer safer car. Now I’m broke as fuck again and I hope my car would pass but it’s getting older.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Walmart actually teaches their employees how to get food stamps
6·6 days agoBut if you live in the USA your taxes go to subsidize the wages of their employees through Medicaid and SNAP. We need to do more than boycott but most of us are too tired and broke to do even that much. Good job on doing what you can
Dragon quest builders is like linear / story mode Minecraft. And there’s Dragon quest builders 2. I’ve never played dragon quest but I freakin love builders. For me it’s far less stressful than Minecraft because I’m not having to be creative to figure out what i want to do. There’s a story line that I can choose to participate in, and I can creatively build whatever I want alongside the tasks and quests. Best of both worlds.
Also blockheads was like a 2D knockoff of Minecraft (so physicality linear. No plot) I loved it so much, and if you kept going right you’d eventually hit the equator, the south pole, the equator, the north pole and then your original spawn point again. It was amazing
I mean all (or maybe most) pregnant women calculate it. It sucks and usually means you just have to leave a huge margin of error

News@lemmy.world•Americans who say they drink alcohol remains at record low, survey finds
2·17 days agoI only started this season of reacher, but that’s ironic given that in the books reacher has no interest in drinking and only ever would buy a beer to be polite or get information out of a bartender and even then he doesn’t really drink the beer

AI@lemmy.ml•Google AI Giving Staggeringly Racist “Advice” About Being Alone With Certain Groups of People futurism
11·17 days agoIdk. If someone told me I’m alone with a British person, i wouldn’t read an implicit feeling of discomfort. I would say, “idk, I think you’re supposed to offer them tea”
I’m alone with an Australian. “Are they hot?” “Are you asking for advice on flirting?”
I’m alone with a Russian. “Do you feel safe? Intimidated?”
I’m a human with experiences that make these statements feel like they have implications, but a machine should give the same answer regardless.
Yeah everyone is saying wafflehouse no question, but that’s not true. The waffle house brawler is crazy. Dangerous. Likely drugged up. But the dude from dollar general has a gun. He wins.
How come you can put frozen meat in a crockpot but not thaw it in frozen water?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cars are surveillance devices. Here's the proof.
31·21 days agoYeah and also with evidence of experiments done on people (Tuskeegee experiments) and then downright negligence and cover ups done for greed (opioid crisis), add that to poor treatment for Dr’s convenience or due to their willful ignorance (lots of women’s medicine, birth practices, no numbing for painful procedures) then even the vaccine crazies have valid skepticism.
I believe in vaccines completely, but it’s hard to argue with an anti vaxxer that the pharmaceutical corporations have their best interests at heart. They don’t.
Fully agree with the fucked timeline and honestly agreeing with ignorance is bliss. I just wanna take the blue pill and go back to sleep. I want to be happy and trust my government like a dummy.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that 4 out of 5 toddler foods are ultraprocessed. Nearly half fail to meet nutrition standardsEnglish
1·23 days agoEven if this is true, toddlers actually need to eat many times a day. My kid eats extremely clean at home, but if I ever want to leave the house, it’s tough to feed them cleanly without access to a refrigerator and stove. You can make your baby a puree from whole foods, but you’ve got a very short window to eat it once it’s out of the fridge.
Tough enough for me that it made me just stay home and isolate which in fact was worse for me and the toddler than just accepting that we were going to bring a store bought, shelf stable container of pureed green beans with us to be able to leave the house.
It gets easier when your kid has enough teeth to trust them to chew an almond, but not by much. People are just doing their best.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that 4 out of 5 toddler foods are ultraprocessed. Nearly half fail to meet nutrition standardsEnglish
1·23 days agoYeah, if you pick an orange off the tree in your front yard, rinse it, and then peel it, it’s been processed. If you mash it up and bake it into bread with cranberries that’s ultra processed. We need better labels for food thats been handled vs food that’s barely food.
