I’m on kobo libra color and share this opinion. It reads basically every file I throw at it and is super easy to use. Plus it’s great for piracy

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•who was the aggressor in cold war?English
162·13 days agoIt depended on where in the world you were. Both Russia and America wanted to avoid full on conflict so they established proxy wars to try weaken the other. America was certainly the aggressor in Vietnam and Korea while Russia was the aggressor in Cuba and arguably in Afghanistan amongst a whole myriad of other conflicts

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got?English
35·27 days agoI was out on St Patrick’s day and saw a guy go by in a novelty top hat that looked similar to this:

And I shouted “Holy shit! It’s St Jamiroquai!” to absolutely zero response

politics @lemmy.world•‘A chilling assertion’: Trump officials falsely claim citizens must carry immigration docs to prove their statusEnglish
5·28 days agoOh I am fully aware, but I find it important to point out the underlying thing they’re exploiting when you see statements like this. Just like passing ID laws and bans on porn are a subtext to censor LGBTQ people

41·28 days agoOh I misunderstood you then. I thought you were saying that people actually used state IDs. I understand that they are available but in practice I have never seen people using them

politics @lemmy.world•‘A chilling assertion’: Trump officials falsely claim citizens must carry immigration docs to prove their statusEnglish
32·28 days agoDo you have any proof of that because I genuinely have not seen that in my experience. Usually it’s social security numbers, birth certificate, passports, and bills that I see as documentation in lieu of driver’s licenses

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human DriversEnglish
18·28 days agoElon’s stupid ass dedication to using cameras and image processing for self driving will ultimately be what leaves Tesla in the dust. A combination of LIDAR, cameras, and other detection tools are way safer than just cameras alone. I’m not a huge Mark Rober fan but he did show that you can beat Tesla’s self driving with Looney Tunes techniques

72·28 days agoJust a reminder that America does not have a national ID and that while most people think a driver’s license is our ID only 71% of Americans have one. Children, the elderly, people who are too poor to have a car, or people who live in cities that don’t need cars (which is like, 5 cities but is still a notable percent of the population) are all people who may not have an ID and all of them have been rounded up by ICE. This is a further attack on the poor specifically but on the vulnerable in general
The comic says “professor who used to work for NASA” it wouldn’t be shocking if they better than average consumer hardware for their job

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see"English
1·1 month agoExactly. Especially considering it’s rare that there’s a month where there are fewer than 2 movies I actively want to see in theaters. So I’m already saving money with it, all those other movies are just bonuses
Plus you get surprised. I thought Clown in a Cornfield was going to suck and I would have never seen Life of Chuck normally but I ended up really enjoying both of them

16·1 month agoIt’s me. I watch a lot of movies and see arthouse stuff the public doesn’t care about and if something is a big enough train wreck occasionally I’ll see what’s going on (shout out to CATS). Though I have Regal Unlimited so I don’t “pay” for a ticket

World News@lemmy.world•The case for EU-Japan ties and a 'Democratic 7:' EU, UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada -- [Opinion]English
62·1 month agoThat’s some Kingdom Hearts math right there. The Democratic 7: composed of 2 countries, a collection of 4 nations, 3 countries that are kinda sorta part of that collection, and a union of 27 countries (one of which has a higher GDP than any other member of the group). Oh did I mention one of those nations pretty vocally divorced themselves from someone else in that group?

Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] Vegetarian / vegan recipe that tastes "ocean-y"?English
1·1 month agoI also would lean towards noodle soups. I like a Korean soup called Sundubu-jjigae that uses tofu and veggies. You could also use the dashi broth to make rice and now you’ve got seafood rice without animal products

Cooking @lemmy.world•[QUESTION] Vegetarian / vegan recipe that tastes "ocean-y"?English
9·1 month agoMy first thought is that making a vegan dashi should be easy. Put some dried kombu and shitake in water in the fridge overnight, then boil the mixture, strain the solids and skim any foam/particulates off the top and now you’ve got an seafood broth you can use for soups/pastas/etc

19·1 month agoPeople don’t know/have forgotten that the Democrats really pushed the moral panic around violent video games and music. Both Joe Liberman (Al Gore’s running mate and promenant senator) and Tipper Gore (wife of Al Gore) were leaders in pushing for music/video game censorship

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does one traffic? Like kids, guns, drugs and so on? Better explanation inside.English
4·1 month agoGenerally speaking trafficking is bringing something into a place where it is not allowed to be
So in your first example, you are allowed to watch that kid, and both of you are allowed to be in that state and to see a movie, so no, you are not trafficking
Similarly if you are allowed to have that gun in both states then you are not trafficking. Additionally in the US if a case involves crimes across states it’s typically a federal charge and not multiple state ones
People can be trafficked against their will for slavery purposes or by their will as a form of illegal immigration. You can even “traffic” legal goods like cigarettes if you transport them without paying all applicable taxes. It’s a catch-all term for transporting things that a place does not want to let in. Typically the term is only used for bulk transportation, smaller amounts tend to have other more specific crimes
