MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.ziptoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•The great millennial garbage gyreEnglish702·10 days agoI still remember when bumble had to change their entire premise and business model because as it turns out women are worse at starting conversations than men lmao.
I wholeheartedly believe that the Internet and smart phones have been the biggest double edge swords in human history. We have the entire globes collected knowledge at our fingertips with the ability to connect with any other person on the planet instantly and it has caused the largest shift in loneliness and depression ever.
Humans simply are not wired for social media and the Internet. Seeing every single person you know posting themselves beautiful and dressed up doing the coolest things 24/7 will make anyone feel ugly and like they aren’t doing anything with their lives. It takes real focused effort to remember that people (generally) only post when they are doing something special and what you don’t see are the days or weeks between posts that show they live the same boring life you live.
I’m ranting for no reason. I think when we lost in person social gatherings as the primary method of meeting new people is when society kicked that concrete block off the cliff. Right now we are just waiting for the rope to snap taught and drag us all into the abyss.
Both is good is more in reference to picking both as the problem is good. Not that either choice is any good lol.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Marvel Studios@lemmy.world•‘Ironheart’ Review Bombing Proves Some Comic Book Fans Still Can’t Handle Women of Color in the Spotlight115·16 days agoI haven’t watched this show or movie or whatever it is, but my comment was more in general.
If movie is bad and the lead is a white guy the studio and director and everyone involved kinda just shrugs and goes “whoops” but when it’s got a minority/POC lead and it ranks they seem to almost always accuse the viewers of just being racist incels instead of just admitting there might have been other issues with the film.

But I also think a lot of companies and people like to hide behind the fact that they have a minority or POC main character as the reason the movie bombed when in reality the movie was just bad.
Any discussion about the actual quality of the writing, directing, casting and whatever else gets drowned out by people calling it racist or sexist as opposed to addressing the fact that the movie did fail in several other key ways.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Just Post@lemmy.world•Americans were asked "What percentage of American adults _____" compared with the true proportion.10·1 month agoAll the numbers on this chart make no goddamn sense. Even the most right wing of fox news watching nutjobs wouldn’t say there are %20+ trans people in the USA. They always claim it’s like 3 people and that’s why they need to ignore them/they don’t matter.
I need to see the region they polled in. Preferably the exact counties because these numbers don’t make sense for either of the extreme sides answers, but also the moderates wouldn’t answer some of these questions these ways either.
Who TF did they get answers from??

I’ve been physically assaulted. I would choose hateful words every single fucking day.

I give up. You’re not emotionally intelligent enough for me to bother attempting to explain any further. Have a good night.

It’s ok I just downloaded one commander. Hopefully it works for me.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?English45·1 month agoYeah it IS you people that need help. Because I’m not defending a Nazi. I am defending a person that made edgy Nazi jokes in their youth because I have enough brain power and human experience to know that not every single edgy teenager and young adult goes on to actually support extremist crap. It’s almost like humans spend their youth learning what’s ok in society. What’s not ok. Where they land on issues. Where other people land on issues.
What’s more important to me and most other humans is what kind of person someone is today. What kind of person they have been like in the last few years of their lives.
Every single human makes mistakes. How they learn from those mistakes is generally more important than the mistakes themselves (obviously not always the case).
Grow up.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipOPto Windows 11@lemmy.world•Recently upgraded to 11 and I am running into a problem that is effecting my work flow that I cannot find a resolution for no matter what I googleEnglish11·1 month agoI just decided to download one command. I figure I can probably set it up to work the way I need. Sucks because I did like many of the changes 11 brought to the file system. Oh well. 2 steps forward and 37 back is the Microsoft motto these days.
We had a lot of VHS tapes that got worn out over time because they got watched so many times. My little brothers watched chitty chitty bang bang so much that the quality of the entire film was noticably worse by the time the tape got accidentally stepped on and destroyed.
Also mysteriously all the sex scenes with the incredibly attractive women in the Pierce Brosnan James bond films were worn out too. I wouldn’t know anything about that nor does it have anything to do with why I’m now a masochist whos into women that bite, scratch and even stab me from time to time… No correlation whatsoever.

We clearly have a fundamental difference of opinion when it comes to our ability to forgive past transgressions of others when we see personal growth and change from them.
Have a good day.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipOPto Windows 11@lemmy.world•Recently upgraded to 11 and I am running into a problem that is effecting my work flow that I cannot find a resolution for no matter what I googleEnglish11·1 month agoBecause sometimes I need to see them along with other files and deselect some or add others. I need it to sort into the other files and stay highlighted so I can see where the ones I just moved went while also being able to grab them again immediately.
I don’t understand why the functionality would change between windows 10 and 11 and I don’t understand how I can only find like 2 other posts about it and neither of them have any comments.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?English107·1 month agoI’m older than PewDiePie. I have two little brothers that grew up watching him religiously so I ended up seeing a lot of his content and being looped in on his controversies.
What mentally insane people believe is completely irrelevant. Plenty of insane people have taken words of peace and love and somehow found ways to twist them into calls of violence.
Using mentally deranged peoples actions to blame a public figure is actually insane. Not once did PewDiePie ever make any calls to action and in fact he publicly denounced those people and what they did.
YOU need help.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipOPto Windows 11@lemmy.world•Recently upgraded to 11 and I am running into a problem that is effecting my work flow that I cannot find a resolution for no matter what I googleEnglish11·1 month agoI’m just grabbing a handful of files from one file explorer window and then dumping them into a different window.
In windows 10 it would keep those recently dumped files highlighted so I could immediately move them somewhere else or deselvt a few or add some more before I moved those all into a folder within that window.
In windows 11 as soon as I paste them into the new window it de-selects all of the things I just pasted even though visual they still appear to be highlighted. When I go to move them it’ll only grab the one I’m actually clicking and dragging on.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?English1311·1 month agoHe is not a Nazi apologist at all lmao.
He paid some Indian guys in fiver to hold up a sign that said something like “death to Jews” or something like that. He didn’t think they would actually do it and he of course he laughed when they sent back the video of them dancing and holding up the sign.
When he got backlash for the “joke” by mainstream media he felt they were purposely twisting things around in a certain way to make him look worse and he was going to prove it. He then wore a British WW2 military officers uniform for a video where he claimed they would purposely cut the video to misrepresent things and that’s exactly what happened. They claimed he doubled down and wore a Nazi uniform because he was a Nazi.
Not long after that whole debacle he then had the infamous “bridge incident” where he called some random gamer the n word while he was live on twitch playing PUBG. He made an apology video after that where he said: “It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of, and it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did, because there are no excuses for it.”
Absolutely worth being criticized for the things he did in his past, but I don’t think it’s fair to cancel the guy forever because of those things. Especially when it appears that he has grown up quite significantly since those days.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?English2415·1 month agoYou seem to be holding onto a lot of hate for something a very different guy did 10+ years ago. He’s gotten married, had a kid and moved his family to Japan since his young edgy days.
He absolutely deserved criticism for the stupid shit he was doing when his channel was exploding, but I think holding onto that level of vitriol for this long isn’t healthy.
People are allowed to grow and change. Im sure you said or did some incredibly stupid shit in your teenage and young adult years. I know I fucking did. If we never allow people to grow and change for the better then we are permanently locking each person to their lowest point and holding them there forever. I think that is an incredible robotic and inhuman way to approach the human condition.
