Yeah. Here’s hoping we can solve a few of the ongoing crises and get back to more nuanced discourse

I feel like it’s difficult to have a nuanced discussion because people feel a sense of urgency. If the world’s always in crisis, it’s hard to step back and slow down.
Unfortunately convincing people to understand all this requires a very strongly pushed but very moderate opinion, which is difficult to express in a meaningfully correct way
I don’t know how you expected the Everyone Here Sucks department to be a good idea /s
Who is mkbhd and why should I care

This wasn’t already the case??
That response is certainly better. The type of person to wear blackface is also the type of person who wouldn’t apologize, though.
This is why we need the map! I’m curious which prediction would be accurate.
“No, you” is the best response you can come up with? Come on man.
This isn’t worth my time. Blocked. I’ll leave you with an acronym as a parting gift you’ll find useful:
PW;DR - Paywall; Didn’t Read
It would be neat to have an interactive version where you can select different factors to control for, including pop. density, wealth level, children per family, etc.
Right, but that’s exactly my point, it likely wouldn’t just be one flat color. If you scale it by population density you get a map displaying the average distance between kids and parents compared to the average distance between any two people which I would expect to be 1. non-uniform and 2. more meaningful than raw kid-parent distance. The current map is useful and accurate, but I think the more interesting contributing factors are being drowned out by raw population density. Deciding what factors to control for (ie. pop. density, wealth level, etc.) results in a different meaningful outcome and is very important to consider when making conclusions based on the map. The image’s scale is probably too granular to do this analysis but if the raw data is finer-grained I would love to see a density-controlled version.
Thank you! I love VS Code
I spent like 3 hours yesterday deduplicating two functions that were hundreds of lines long and nearly identical. I should probably learn how to use that git command that can diff two files on disk. Luckily I actually enjoy cleaning up code sometimes.
It would be interesting to scale this by population density
And you jump to ad hominem as soon as you’re challenged. You should improve your conversation skills or you will flounder around and never correct inaccuracies in your beliefs. If you believe you do not have inaccuracies in your beliefs despite never changing them, you are wrong. Good luck.
Just because you dislike two things, you don’t have to lump them under the same definition. Language could evolve to consider registration-required sites to have a paywall, but that would be stupid and counter to similar usages of “pay”. People seem really eager to stretch negative definitions to include other things they dislike, but it’s not the word that makes something bad, it’s the thing itself. Two things can be different/distinct concepts and also be equally bad.
I had hoped Lemmy could avoid this effect. We seem to be a bit resistant but not immune unfortunately. That’s probably the best I’m going to get though, so I can live with it lol
I like seeing a group evolve and form good friendships. I also like sci fi and weirdness.
May I recommend Star Trek: Lower Decks? If you’re a fan of animated shows, that is.
Every time
