THere’s reasons I struggle with looking past my own mindset whenever anything china related in the sciences pop up, as my first thought is ‘is there independant verfication there to prevent it from just being government propaganda bullshit?’
…kinda like i’m having to start doing with any ‘official’ anything here stateside now.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a relatively minor thing to most people that you WISH you could have?English11·3 months agoOh but it CAN be measured.
It is simply that value is too short for what you need it to be.

sleepwalking me needs to stop pigging out.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a relatively minor thing to most people that you WISH you could have?English101·3 months agothat is a fairly blunt assessment. ‘Correction’ is not a binary after all.
After cateracts surgery I’ve got 20/80 vision in my better eye. Technically both eyes.
HOWEVER.
I have no useable depth perception. The retina on my left eye is swiss cheesed with holes and scarring from birth defects. My right retina has a major deflection in it and I ‘won’ the lottery in having it detatch post cateracts surgery (a nominally single digit percentage chance of happening) and thus needed further surgeries to correct.

about the one thing I HAVEN’T replaced on it is the power supply and fans. It’s been a pretty good box.

Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You're in charge of starting a nuanced bad guy team. What is your agenda?English2·3 months ago…where do I sign up for this?
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could wave a magic wand, what changes to the US constitution would prevent the executive branch from ignoring the decisions of the judiciary?English3·3 months agoI have three ideas. Any armchair constitutional law experts feel free to tell me why this is dumb.
1.) Term Limits for ‘any and all officials elected.’ Two terms each and no person who has become ineledgable for the US presidency may be vice president, speaker of the house, or otherwise within the chain of succession should the possibility of their ascending to the president be needed.
2.) Clear enforcement mechanisms if ‘any government official elected or otherwise be found in violation of constitution or ammendment statuets.’ As is, Trump’s effectivly going ‘Well I’m not obeying you. whatcha gonna DO to me?’
3.) Clear accountability proceedures for supreme court justices.

Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?English1·3 months agoWe are still in disagreement because you’re splitting hairs to try claiming you’re a good person, and I’m not.
As I said before. We are in disagreement. However I appreciate that you showed at least some of your work.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?English5·3 months agoI’ve veered mostly into mutualism for awhile. Indavidualist anarchy is a sucker’s game. NOBODY can do everything alone.
Building networks and community? That’s just… what people do.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?English31·3 months agoI disagree with you.
However I would like the full version of that argument. Please.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?English2·3 months agoIn my limited and personal experiane. What Trump has done has given people an OK to be their worst selves…
Some people have always been gigantic pieces of shit and just needed permission to stop being polite.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anybody here actually succeeded in getting an online conservative/right-winger to reflect and legitimately and long term shift their views left?English7·3 months agoAnarchy means “without leaders”, not “without order”.
That is something so very many get wrong, either unintentionally, or because they’ve been told that lie constantly by a hierarchy hell bent on ensuring people can’t think of any other way things are done.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If the 90s smelled like sex and candy what did other decades smell like?English111·3 months agoThat’s… on the Trump Bingo Card.
Singletona082@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If the 90s smelled like sex and candy what did other decades smell like?English8·3 months agoWas a kid in the 80’s. I hated the smell of smoke and it irritated my eyes. That is a large part of why my grandparents quit. I’m probably why my parents didn’t smoke.
I associate the smell of tobacco with my grandparents. Yet for all the fact i hated it at the time because it overpowered everything? I opened up one of those tobacco smelling candles and… It’s stupid i suppose but I was crying for a little bit.
Also in the 1800’s you’d have tobacco smoke, but not the industrial scale of cigarettes.
Good Bartenders make a place.
