I’m unsure. I’m not interested in celebrities. Though I have seen some clips of her show where she has been pretty rude to her guests. Her name also appears in the Epstein files.

Internet users when someone has an opinion:

Of course. I’m not denying it at all. It happened. I’m just saying i’m pretty sure the main critique was the technology of the time.

I’m not a moonlanding conspiracy theorist myself, but in their defense I think the main critique wasn’t that it isn’t possible, but that NASA didn’t have the technical prowess to pull it off in 1969

This game isn’t exactly niche, but Red Dead Redemption II is a really good one. You play as an outlaw on the run from bounty hunters while your gang is falling, their ideals are crumbling, and society no longer wants them. Arthur Morgan is part of a dying way of life.

The game also has an honor system where your status is determined by how evil or good you are. Help strangers = high honor. Rob and murder indiscriminately = walking nightmare

Close. The deep web is any part of the internet not indexed by regular search engines. The dark web is a subsection of the deep web which is only accessible through a certain browser.

I have mixed feelings when it comes to keychains. Big keychains give you something to grab which is practical, especially when wearing gloves. But keychains also add more weight and bulk.

Fair enough. Manual labor jobs do tend to have a “If it works and no one dies, we’ll call it safe” attitude. Thanks for clarifying that.

Surely there are OSHA guidelines regulating that. I’m not calling you a liar. I’m just saying that pulling a 100lb chain 100ft vertically repeatedly would be brutally inefficient without mechanical advantage. If i’m not mistaken, riggers rarely use brute force alone for that kind of task.

Have we considered the possibility of multiple shooters? The gun that killed Kirk may not necessarily have been the one that was found.

Just trying to avoid jumping to conclusions.

Tell me you don’t lift for your job without telling me you don’t lift for your job. Your back will start to hurt after 5 minutes if you bend over like that. Loading trucks for your job grinds you down like sandpaper on your joints.

Some hospitals use AI to scan patients and find signs of illness before it becomes a problem. I’d say that’s a pretty good use of AI.

You don’t. If their mind is already primed to fall for this nonsense, there isn’t much you can do to help them.

I agree with your point that people should get to decide for themselves. But not if their beliefs are hurting others. Historically, religion has done more harm than good.

It’s probably not you who is controverial. In my experience, a lot of Lemmy subs/pages seem to be echo chambers and circlejerks. Don’t worry too much about karma. Lemmy is a whole different ecosystem. Sounds like you’re trying to bring status into a place that doesn’t value it. You’re either preaching to the choir, or speaking your mind and getting flamed.

Your argument kind of tripped over its own shoelaces there.

Calling someone a liar can be relevant, but only if you prove it with evidence tied to the claim. Otherwise it’s still an ad hominem.

I liked your smug little exit line to dodge pressure. It’s the debate equivalent of throwing a smoke bomb and walking away like you won.

“It’s not an ad hominem”

“My argument can no longer be againt the subject itself exclusively, but is also directed against you personally”

That is the literal definition of ad hominem. You just contradicted yourself. Well done.

Your comment quite quickly devolved into an ad hominem. If you had a strong argument against anything I said, you would have used it.

Ah yes, because banning guns means they cease to exist. You realize that even if guns are no longer sold in the U.S., they can still be smuggled in from other countries along with other contraband like drugs and counterfeit cash. That’s how criminals in countries like the UK manage to get their hands on guns despite guns being banned. This is what I mean when I say “violent black market”. Guns can also be 3D printed.

I don’t know why you’re bringing up Australia’s gun control as proof that “it’s possible”. Australia doesn’t have anywhere near the same history that the U.S. has with guns. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.

Yes. Less, but not zero. You’re still tied into Google’s ecosystem. Brave is basically Chrome with a few privacy settings enabled by default.

FireFox on the other hand is completely independent from Google, and more tweakable.
