Nice, sorry if I came in hot. The issue you have is with health ramifications of the procedure which is also totally sane.

I’m not a big fan of the idea of abortion

Are you saying you’re not a big fan as in you don’t think it’s a great, fun thing to do? Like “I’m not a big fan of _____ sport”? Or against the idea itself?

I’m assuming that by “the idea of abortion” what you really mean is that you’re not a fan of killing babies, which is not what abortions are doing.

And if that’s not what you mean then I ask that you clarify what it is you do mean since, sure, you make decent points here but it’s important that everyone understands what an abortion is and what is being aborted, which is almost never a living baby.

If I’m being honest, someone who says they don’t like the idea of abortion sounds like someone who doesn’t know much at all about what one is or what it’s removing. Or someone who thinks abortions are for sluts who go out fucking everyone and getting pregnant and just aborting 3rd trimester babies bc they’re sluts (I will clarify here that I also don’t see a problem with female promiscuity resulting in abortion either)

That means nothing imo, last book I read was years ago and I’m in a field most consider to be for sharper folks. Software dev. The book was the last in the three body problem trilogy.

In a world where the Twilight series exists, I really hate people who use the act of reading books as some intelligence measure

Yeah there was a whole thing about it at the time, it made news and was credible. The fix for it being of course to double check your ballot before you cast, which could easily be a miss by a first time voter or maybe an elderly one.

My comment was in reference to the fact that Ted Cruz is a moron, and that we came really close to getting him out, but I do think there were some shenanigans with voting. Just the other way.

Every accusation is an admission

Here’s an article about it, a quick Google returns a ton of results

didn’t realize there were so many Ted Cruz fans on lemmy

We tried voting him out, we really did. Coincidentally, he beat Beto by a very small margin while there was a small percentage of voting machines that reportedly flipped votes for Beto (I think they would flip them to Cruz, and if you didn’t double check all your votes before casting them, then a Beto voter could have inadvertently voted Cruz)

Texan born and raised. I could easily jump ship, but I won’t be leaving, I have a duty to my home and the people who are born into it to stay and vote. If everyone who thinks like me just left, then the people who are born into it will still suffer, yet have no hope for recourse.

The bones of my house are also fundamentally different material to human bones. Not really sure what point I’m trying to make here but there you go

If you don’t have consent from an animal’s owner, do not interact with the animal. That’s not something good that you should do. Instead, get consent first.

No I don’t think it would throw away the teacher, unless you’re an anime character with a power where eye contact teleports people into the closest trash can

The issue I had with using it for code is that the scrolling in the video seemed pretty bad, which is pretty essential for it. Would love an e ink monitor dedicated to code/terminals, so I’ll be waiting to grab one when the frame rate’s a bit better. Also, in some of the footage of them writing in Word looks like there’s a decent amount of burn-in. I’d do it for $2k today if it had better frame rate for scrolling/typing and much less burn-in.

Funny. But how the hell did college students have the money for grass sod? That’s something I consider expensive even as an adult with plenty of disposable income. (Please tell me it was “appropriated” from some stock the university had on hand)

They had to have meant The Dude, right? Right?

Exactly. When I was a kid, my parents gave me a job at the family business. It was great, they said I could work half days. I could do whatever i wanted with the other 12 hours.

This is a bad take. How are you gonna do that? Force ECMA to scrap all the functionality deemed ‘bad’? Wave a magic tech wand? At the end of the day JS is a tool, and like any tool it can be abused for nefarious purposes. The issue is that advertisers abuse this tool, and the sites they pay to be shown on allow it. Not because insert scripting language exists.

That’s like saying the song would be incorrect because technically they’d be swimming in the Pacific.

Bays absolutely are still located in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s a reference to the song Ænema by tool

The meaning of retard is to delay or impede the development or progress of; to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment

Just something to think on

commercials with all the kids singing the songs

I think that was Kids Bop, which is essentially Now That’s What I Call Music, but kids were covering the songs instead of the actual band

I disagree with the comment on the point about it being a leftist naivety, but it is naïve nonetheless. Life feeds on life and all that. That they’re sentient doesn’t matter, some people argue plants are sentient too (not that I necessarily agree)
