Ask Lemmy

Allied with - "I just say it like it is", nope motherfucker, you say it like you see it, consider you might be wrong.

My girlfriend prefers her water room temp, and as someone who loves ice cold water, it's so weird to me. So I think I'm gonna start thinking of this as her lukewarm take.

What about baby dogs?

Dogs, fuck yeah. Babies, ugh.

A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.

This is not warm, this is cold hard facts

btw if you ever have a Christian hounding you about it tell them "Jesus pirated fish and bread, and you support him" and watch them think through how to still disagree with you (they will never change their opinion) but support jesus no matter what

You are mostly scamming the corpos who host the content, which is a-ok in my book. If you really want there are lots of ways to support the actual creator much more cheaply than paying for a subscription to the hoster of the content. It always helps me to remember all the times that those companies screw us by changing rates, adding ads, restricting starting options, etc without providing better content to justify it. This is just payback, really. See also, stealing from your employer

From a technical standpoint and a legal one, piracy is copyright infringement, not theft. It's a similar behavior but fundamentally different altogether at its core, largely because the victim of piracy does not lose anything tangible, only a perceived opportunity of a sale (which can be argued as not having been an opportunity in the first place depending on who is performing the piracy).

Both are bad, but people calling piracy theft have a terrible misunderstanding about it.

You can't just make up words like that

I think components being 3d printed is more likely. It's pretty hard to do cookie cutter complex objects like apartment buildings and family homes. Things like bricks, supports, ducts, pipes, insulation are much more adaptable. I think a hot take of mine is that 3d printing isn't gonna be the next big thing in construction and manufacturing. There's really sophisticated and efficient methods of doing those things on an industrial scale now that I don't see 3d printers matching. I do think 3d printers will play a bigger role for personal use. Having a tool that could print out many different household objects just for one person seems useful. Things like toothbrushes, housing components for electronics, ceramics like plates and glasses.

That's warmish on Lemmy, although even here 99% of them are armchair revolutionaries and actually quite comfortable as things are.

Fucking finally 🥺
