All it took was one search to find plenty of contradictions to that post title.

But FREE browsing! How revolutionary.

I am an American, use Android and even wore a mask. Most of all, I would have no problems punching a Nazi.

Meh, freedom is just a buzzword that was brainwashed into us at a young age in school and stuff but hardly anyone actually knows what their rights actually are.

As far as phones are concerned, people use them because they look like they are built for children and they are supposedly easier to use. Even though I hate Apple, I can say that they did a decent job on their UI. It’s a local brand as well. The times I was in Germany, Mercedes and BMW were super common, from what I saw. (Why do all Germans drive those expensive things??? /s)

Also, please remember we have a ton of sub-cultutes, sub-sub-cultures, many dialects of American English and importantly, a massive amount of land. (Land is important, because more separation breeds major cultural differences.)

There are some places in this country where even I feel like an alien, and I am just an average white dude and I have lived in North Carolina, California, Florida and now Colorado. All of those states are vastly different, culturally.

Most of all, just because I am American, doesn’t make me like anyone else here, contrary to what .ml memes say. I am not my government, I dont eat McDonald’s 10x a day and I am not a fascist. (I do own a reasonable sized truck though. My wife does a ton of gardening work, so it’s logical.)

Don’t generalize people by their phones.

No, unfortunately. If I knew you and you were in Colorado, you would get some for free.

Building doomsday devices.

Oh, that was one of the prominent conservative posters and whatever it was, it was absolutely bigoted as fuck. If it wasn’t, it absolutely was something stupid.

Conservative politicians always need someone or something different to blame for made up reasons. While the right has historically berated LGBT, they will bring one specific issue or group into focus as another “issue” becomes boring.

They identify something as problem, tell people that the root of all of their problems is that something. If I blame my issues on something else and then tell people I am their savior and the only person that can fix that problem, I could end up looking like a hero when I do absolutely nothing about it.

Also, stupid people in large groups are easy to manipulate. If one or two people start getting mad about something, the whole group will latch on to that emotion. A couple of key words or chants are of use too! If you have ever seen a trump rally, he just says a few key words to piss people off (Mexicans, immigrants, tans, libruls, etc…) and whatever else he says after that is irrelevant.

Most importantly, the targets of hate need to be vulnerable but portrayed as extremely evil.

If you browse through conservative media, notice they rarely reference anything about policy or improving the lives of people. If they do, it’s directly tied to blaming others for a problem. (Left media can be just as bad, but are nowhere near the machine of bigotry that right media is.)

I could go on for a while, but you should get the idea.

Edit: Oh, if you dehumanize and generalize a group (‘the jews’, ‘the gays’, 'the whatever’s), anything you say or do is not perceived internally as racism or bigotry: It’s ‘acting in the best interests of your country’.

While I have blocked all the conservative communities here, just read through their posts one or twice. Almost all of their articles are hate politics. Honestly, I have blocked almost all political news on Lemmy since most of it is just re-hashed emotional trigger subjects.

whether the world as we perceive it exists independently or not, we cannot escape this perception.

I have several jars of mushrooms stashed away that absolutely can help escape that perception and several layers of perception after that. (Philosophical on that, Seth, Edinburgh Scotland!)

After since I always season to taste.

Warmer food is usually more aromatic and because of that, the flavors are much more defined.

Salting colder food is likely to result in over-salting, if done to taste.

Are you real? Is… is anything real??

This needs to flood every garbage post by every CEO on LinkedIn.

I already took down mydomain.xyz so good luck even using that password.

I already block it. Short form video is cancer.

If Broadcom takes over Intel, get ready for a wild ride and don’t expect any kind of innovation ever again. If there ever was a backdoor in Intel CPUs, expect it to be opened up and used for licensing extortion. (That seems far fetched until you realize how fucking shady Broadcom is.)

While I shifted to the AMD bandwagon a while ago, I really wanted Intel’s GPUs to develop more over the next decade and split the market up a bit more. Sigh.

Well, most gods are created in mans image. Along those lines, any religious “fact” can be altered to fit whatever agenda the churches have at the moment to justify the widest level of religious adoption “in the name” of their god.

How many white people would have worshiped a darker skinned person while slavery was still an acceptable practice?

Some people are still able to rationalize the many images of jesus from around the world. (IMHO, this is yet another attempt to obfuscate discrimination by bouncing back and forth between reality and the meaning of religious symbolism.)

I question using religious scholars as references to a religious post, but at least that same site seems to be speaking out against white supremacy. I don’t quite know what to think about that post, but it seems the intent was positive. Absolutely make a call-out if I missed some glaring.

Not at all. It absolutely is horrendously complex at times, so be warned. However, it’s an awesome learning project, if you like those kinds of things. (Paw through YouTube for photogrammetry projects as it’s really neat stuff.)

I “stole” a big fossilized rock specimen by taking a 4k video with my phone from all angles. Extracted a few thousand frames and rebuilt it. It doesn’t look like much without the surface texture, but I was able to generate a reasonable 3D model. (Meshroom has also been the only app to thermal-throttle my 7950X3D.)

Photogrammetry (with Meshroom) or 3D scanning (point cloud alignments and processing has some beast requirements).

Meshroom would gladly use any resources it can find within a 20 mile radius.

Its just confusing to me because lemmy is made to give anyone their preferred corner.

In theory, yes. In practice, it depends.

It’s too easy for trolls to manipulate the way Lemmy is structured. If they get banned on one instance, they can create a dozen more accounts on other instances.

In general, yes. Everyone does their own thing and goes where they want which is awesome. Unfortunately, trolls can do the same on a much grander scale than on Reddit.

Holy shit! They are letting you manage things that you are supposed to own, but only really license? Amazing.
