  • I've been working with computers and building them my whole life. I am pretty good with windows. I regularly tell potential employers in interviews that I rate my skills with windows computers at about a 6/10. I can probably fix anything you broke, but I am terrified of editing hex code and other things that the IT wizards do with ease.

    I can take apart most electronics and put them back together without breaking them which is not a skill that most people possess apparently. Back when I worked at geeksquad I became known as the "laptop keyboard repair guy" in the area. Other stores would literally send people to see me because apparently nobody else can take apart an hp laptop and remember where all of the 47 screws went or do it without ripping a ribbon cable. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Zero. Even if I vehemently disagree with someone I am still willing to see what they said.

    I think echo chambers and "bubbles" are incredibly dangerous.

  • You know I'm starting to suspect that maybe corporations don't have our best interests in mind....

  • Oh absolutely. He can pull himself up by his velcro straps and make his business work without government subsidies for once in his life.

    That being said I don't have any faith in our government to actually improve anything for general americans when it comes to internet access. Even if the federal government somehow did everything right the states would find a way to regulate and fuck it up.

  • Remember when our government spent billions of our taxes on getting high speed internet out to as many Americans as possible? Remember how literally nothing happened and they just shrugged when we asked where the money went?

    This was during the Obama years too if memory serves correctly.

    It doesn't matter what they decide to do. The money will magically vanish and we will all get left holding the bag once more.

  • If this is the basket the Democrats put their eggs into I sense 8 years of the couch fucker in our futures. Newsome fucking sucks. At best he panders to progressives with one hand while he signs yet another shady bullshit deal behind closed doors like every single other politician alive with his other.

    You think it's just a coincidence that all the money they raised with that benefit concert happened to go into non-profits that his wife runs? You think its been an accident that those effected by the fires haven't seen a penny from that concert?

    California has some of the most corrupt and inept leadership it has ever had. More money than ever is being spent on things like homelessness and public transit projects, but strangely both the public transit and homeless problem have only been getting worse.

    Fuck Gavin Newsome.

  • ... Are you seriously implying that SAYING SOMETHING HATEFUL is on the same level as physically violating someone???

    I've been physically assaulted. I would choose hateful words every single fucking day.

  • Jesus Christ it's like trying to explain true empathy to a narcissist. I give up. You're not emotionally intelligent enough for me to bother attempting to explain any further. Have a good night.

  • Yeah it IS you people that need help. Because I'm not defending a Nazi. I am defending a person that made edgy Nazi jokes in their youth because I have enough brain power and human experience to know that not every single edgy teenager and young adult goes on to actually support extremist crap. It's almost like humans spend their youth learning what's ok in society. What's not ok. Where they land on issues. Where other people land on issues.

    What's more important to me and most other humans is what kind of person someone is today. What kind of person they have been like in the last few years of their lives.

    Every single human makes mistakes. How they learn from those mistakes is generally more important than the mistakes themselves (obviously not always the case).

    Grow up.

  • I'm not gonna bother arguing with you. We clearly have a fundamental difference of opinion when it comes to our ability to forgive past transgressions of others when we see personal growth and change from them.

    Have a good day.

  • I'm older than PewDiePie. I have two little brothers that grew up watching him religiously so I ended up seeing a lot of his content and being looped in on his controversies.

    What mentally insane people believe is completely irrelevant. Plenty of insane people have taken words of peace and love and somehow found ways to twist them into calls of violence.

    Using mentally deranged peoples actions to blame a public figure is actually insane. Not once did PewDiePie ever make any calls to action and in fact he publicly denounced those people and what they did.

    YOU need help.

  • He is not a Nazi apologist at all lmao.

    He paid some Indian guys in fiver to hold up a sign that said something like "death to Jews" or something like that. He didn't think they would actually do it and he of course he laughed when they sent back the video of them dancing and holding up the sign.

    When he got backlash for the "joke" by mainstream media he felt they were purposely twisting things around in a certain way to make him look worse and he was going to prove it. He then wore a British WW2 military officers uniform for a video where he claimed they would purposely cut the video to misrepresent things and that's exactly what happened. They claimed he doubled down and wore a Nazi uniform because he was a Nazi.

    Not long after that whole debacle he then had the infamous "bridge incident" where he called some random gamer the n word while he was live on twitch playing PUBG. He made an apology video after that where he said: “It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of, and it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did, because there are no excuses for it.”

    Absolutely worth being criticized for the things he did in his past, but I don't think it's fair to cancel the guy forever because of those things. Especially when it appears that he has grown up quite significantly since those days.

  • You seem to be holding onto a lot of hate for something a very different guy did 10+ years ago. He's gotten married, had a kid and moved his family to Japan since his young edgy days.

    He absolutely deserved criticism for the stupid shit he was doing when his channel was exploding, but I think holding onto that level of vitriol for this long isn't healthy.

    People are allowed to grow and change. Im sure you said or did some incredibly stupid shit in your teenage and young adult years. I know I fucking did. If we never allow people to grow and change for the better then we are permanently locking each person to their lowest point and holding them there forever. I think that is an incredible robotic and inhuman way to approach the human condition.

  • Calm down there brother. I just noticed something that looked off to me and was seeing if anyone else saw the same thing. Clearly most people agree it's just a cheap shitty flag that wasnt ironed. I must have gotten lucky with all my flags because none of them had creases or wrinkles after a few days of being hung up.

  • I have a similarly old redbull f1 flag on my wall at home. It doesn't have any creases anymore. I wonder if heat/humidity have anything to do with it. It does get hella hot here in the summer. Multiple days over 110 most summers.

  • Fair point lol.

    Maybe I just got lucky with my Nazi flags. The creases were gone after a few days.

    /s

  • Do those flags look like they were unfolded and put up at the same time 10 minutes before the picture was taken to anyone else?

    I am generally not a conspiracy guy, but I have had my fair share of wall hung flags in my life and they don't look like that for very long.

    They just look weirdly staged or planted.

  • Just saw your comment after I left time with the same thing haha

  • I would continue on without a care in the world because superstitious people are a waste of my time. It's just confirmation biases the game.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Is there a small gps tracker that isn't an air tag or tile that also doesn't cost a thousand dollars or require a subscription?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Does anyone know where I can find more songs like this?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Who is your oldest "hear me out" that you can remember from childhood?
