Can’t have a smart TV if you never connect it to the internet.

Were they actually chilling together, or was this just written correspondence? Like letters from prison.

Once again the victims of a crooked judiciary system cried political attack, and asked for an emergency order they probably assumed wouldn’t be granted by a SCOTUS judge who was appointed by the crooked demoncrats.

This sounds like utter nonsense.

Divide and conquer. It worked exactly as intended.

“This is the soooound, of science”

The UK has been abnormally hot for the last few days. Feels like you need a jacket, but before long you’re sweating.

That’s not the point I was making. She argued that opening the box was tantamount to agreeing to the terms, but the full terms aren’t on the box. You can’t access the full terms until after you’ve opened it, thus you haven’t agreed to them yet as you haven’t had the opportunity to read them. And, even then, the agreement is far from iron clad.

On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”

This is absolute bullshit and not at all how it works, now or back in the 1980s. You can’t agree to terms without seeing them first, and even then such agreements aren’t necessarily legally binding. For someone who is supposed to write laws, she should be removed from office for showing such gross incompetence.

Yeah but we’re talking about net here. Most blue states are net producers, most red states are net leechers. Texas might not be as big of a leech as some others, but it’s still a leech.

Okay, I’m starting to think this article doesn’t really know what it’s talking about…

For most of modern computing history, however, analog technology has been written off as an impractical alternative to digital processors. This is because analog systems rely on continuous physical signals to process information — for example, a voltage or electric current. These are much more difficult to control precisely than the two stable states (1 and 0) that digital computers have to work with.

1 and 0 are in fact representative of voltages in digital computers. Typically, on a standard IBM PC, you have 3.3V, 5V and 12V, also negative voltages of these levels, and a 0 will be a representation of zero volts while a 1 will be one of those specified voltages. When you look at the actual voltage waveforms, it isn’t really digital but analogue, with a transient wave as the voltage changes from 0 to 1 and vice versa. It’s not really a solid square step, but a slope that passes a pickup or dropoff before reaching the nominal voltage level. So a digital computer is basically the same as how they’re describing an analogue computer.

I’m sure there is something different and novel about this study, but the article doesn’t seem to have a clue what that is.

So does he have to use the girls’ bathroom, also??

Not to mention the fact this is a UK media outlet sharing a story from the US - and it’s not even their reporting but just a regurgitation of an actual local news station.

Did CNN re-record it this time?

The article literally says this at the start of the 4th paragraph lmao did you read it?

Well what do you mean by provocation? Because I can’t imagine her doing anything that would actually warrant the responses alleged.

Yeah, I mean you never explicitly stated it wasn’t the fault of the Israeli’s here. But I think that is still implied by what you said, and that’s why people are raging against you.

There’s a nuanced issue here about fault and responsibility, I think. The Israelis are absolutely at fault for any mistreatment of Greta (or any prisoner), and the Israelis are responsible for their actions, but Greta is also responsible for putting herself in harm’s way. However, Greta isn’t necessarily at fault for doing so, and furthermore her responsibility for her own actions must in no way detract from the responsibility nor fault by the Israeli forces.

Responsibility isn’t portioned out in percentages. Someone can be 100% responsible for something, but someone else can also have some responsibility. However, fault is portioned out, and a victim is in no way at fault for the fault of their attacker.

But your original point was that Greta “provoked” the Israelis. This is you implying fault. And I don’t think you can reasonably justify this assumption.

You’re confused in thinking MAGA is one contiguous group. There are Nazis within MAGA (in fact they have been promoted, especially this term), but there are non-Nazis too. There were people in MAGA who loved Charlie Kirk, and people who hated him for being pro-Israel.

The only thing tying them together is Trump.

It’s less about this being a cult, more about it being a cult of personality. Regular cults can continue on, a cult of personality dies when the personality dies.

This is classic victim blaming. “You knew you would get attacked, so it’s your fault, not the attacker’s fault.”

Her goal is to get food to starving people. Media attention furthers that goal, even if they don’t succeed directly in delivering food.

Their point is right there taking up half the comment:

being a conservative mean those who in politics uphold the value of tradition, oppose any progressive ideology, and aim to preserve traditional social and political structures

In other words, they’re “conserving” traditional values.

However this isn’t really true, and @Lumisal@lemmy.world is correct that this isn’t really what they’re doing. It’s how they think they’re behaving, but they have a distorted view on history and see it through rose tinted glasses, often trying not to conserve but to “restore” society to some half-cocked version that never really existed.
