Requiring the efforts of Mathematicians and mechanics spending millions of man hours!

essell ,

Degrading to the valid argument. Unless it's satire, then it's funny hyperbole 😁

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads ( www.techradar.com )

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

essell ,

Yup.

They told me I could choose between ads and a 35% price rise.

I replied "I have a better idea"

Can honestly say I've not missed out watching anything I wanted to watch

essell ,

Femboys are empirical evidence to the contrary

essell ,

Just because you think you know better than them who they are, doesn't mean you're right.

essell ,

This is why there's no need to lock up criminals, they're going to get old and die one day anyway

essell ,

Kinda misses the point, no?

The question needs an answer, even if the person asking also has their own questions to answer.

essell ,

Okay, yeah. If it's in bad faith I totally agree.

Still, I do have to wonder why some genocides are more important to people than others. There's a genuine question there too

essell ,

They'll market it as moving at light speed too.

****heads.

Magician David Copperfield Accused of Grooming, Groping, and Drugging Women ( www.rollingstone.com )

Magician David Copperfield is facing allegations of drugging women before sexual encounters, groping women during live performances, and behaving inappropriately with women who were significantly younger than him — including under 18 — in a new investigative piece in The Guardian....

essell ,

He's a magician, one who used to be famous 😁

essell ,

So like the English with our English heritage?

essell ,

I've never learnt to dance

Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

essell OP ,

As a therapist I can probably help with that 😏

essell OP ,

There was a time when I wanted to do that.

Given that I know enough to run my home network feel free to ask me anything about your job. 🤔😈

essell OP ,

That's really interesting! In the UK we have an excellent tradition of making both really excellent and really abhorrent documentaries, so clearly they're not all made equal.

Appreciate hearing an expert opinion on what this means in reality.

essell OP ,

Do you think those people represent the community view, or at least a significant portion of it? Or is it more like one unpleasant person who loves to argue the toss?

essell OP ,

That's more than a lack of respect for expertise, that's a lack of basic human respect.

I furiously dislike people explaining me to me.

essell OP ,

I'm impressed by your bravery in telling people that one, given the variety and origins of the "facts" on that topic! 😲

essell OP ,

I'd call it healthy debate but I've never met a software engineer who had a healthy anything

essell OP ,

Good plan. Document your expertise and them have enough rope to tie themselves in knots.

essell OP ,

That's a very reasoned and reasonable view of the question. Totally fair I'd say. Feeling a little emotionally frustrated by it today none the less.

essell OP ,

I have never experienced that world, and never heard what it's like from that side. Really appreciate your insight just because it's so different to all the "expert advice" that floats around on social media

essell OP ,

Nice, sounds like you have a lot of clarity in an analytical mind!

I do so love proof in a professional environment.

essell OP ,

That's totally fair, I agree.

The version that upsets me most is when I offer a perspective from my expertise, well founded and reasonable, and rather than ask questions to understand or offer a competing idea, people so often just say that I must be an idiot and know nothing about the topic.

I can hardly reply with "no, you're the stupid one!" coz that just really doesn't help.

essell OP ,

I assume you're there to make the tea and order stationary?

essell OP ,

I know it's a massive cliché talking about the hive mind on Reddit, but it was a cliché for a reason!

essell OP ,

That's totally fair.

I taught a seminar in the nature of identity last month. Great fun.

essell OP ,

You can always checkout their point, information or perspective via other sources. Doesn't have to be about the person posting. Personally, I'd rather it wasn't.

essell OP ,

You don't get to be the boss by listening to people, in most places sadly.

essell OP ,

Are you one of the people I depend on who write useful information on the internet sharing their expertise?

essell OP ,

I've read a lot of Greek mythology but never met hypoxia. Was she one of the nymphs?

essell OP ,

Honestly, I'm a little envious. being able to see those stories and make an informed clear judgement would be really valuable for me

essell OP ,

I hope one day when countries start passing laws banning children from the internet or smartphones, it includes the people like this

essell OP ,

Who me?

essell OP ,

I've never been royalty before. Flattered!

essell OP ,

That would very much depend on whether you work for Boeing or not, I guess.

essell OP ,

Promise not to hold you responsible for all the recent stuff

essell ,

I agree
These systems both emerged from inherent humanity, not conspiracy.

essell ,

.They were both forced on people through violence or the threat of it.

And so is revealed the violence inherent to the system.

essell ,

I can recognise nonsense when I see it, and viewpoints based on assumptions rather than evidence.

essell ,

On the other hand, has anyone holding up a sign ever claimed that was all of their beliefs?

The purpose of the sign surely is to highlight the most significant, pertinent or contentious aspect of their beliefs?

essell ,

Stuff like this? Gender stuff?

It's been normal for schools to teach stuff like this for decades, stuff has been gendered in schools forever.

The only recent change is giving children choices and recognising reality.

essell ,

Is there something good in keeping people locked in their homes?

Yes, that's why we did it.

essell ,

The question is whether the lockdowns had any benefits.

Pointing out the downsides doesn't really respond to that.

Appropo of nothing... I'm slightly amused at the advise against parroting in a reply that says "Do your own research"

essell ,

I think he worked for the Cray twins
