xkforce@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•The new science of death: ‘There’s something happening in the brain that makes no sense’1·1 year agoA lot of women are still taught from a young age that much of their identity should be being a mother. And some of them (usually highly religious) are taught that it is worth dying to be a mother to multiple children.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?0·1 year agoOMFG there is no evil conspiracy by USAA and every other insurance company against pitbulls JFC. Pitbulls are just statistically much more dangerous than other animals.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?0·1 year agoThese are multibillion dollar companies (actually they insure trillions in assets) whose whole job is to be very very good at assessing risk. You thinking you know better is peak Dunning-Krueger.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?0·1 year agoI worked as an insurance agent. In the states I had my P&C licenses in, we were legally required to base rates on data. i.e statistically how much the company paid out in claims given certain factors. One of the things we based rates on was the breeds of dog people owned. Pitbulls and certain other dog breeds do not just have a bad reputation because people irrationally fear/hate them, they actually do pose a greater risk. Just like teenagers by and large, aren’t as safe drivers. It isn’t “fair” in that the dog didn’t choose to be the breed it is and some of them really are good dogs but statistically, averaged over the whole, they are more of a risk than other dog breeds are.

This guy wiped out an entire race with a thought and your plan is to do what exactly?
I am a biochemist that understands german. This is nonsense. Post something that actually makes sense.
This is nonsense.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•YouTube comment deletion is out of control, can't say anything anymore even when completely sensible. Is there a text format (alternate characters) that allows you to bypass detection?0·2 years agoThe fact that you wont give examples speaks volumes.
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-inEnglish0·2 years agoDude the goddamned phone requires that you confirm permission to access or manipulate anything on that phone. You cant just plug a usb cable in and fuck with everything. What the hell sort of phones do you guys buy that it just does that with no security measures?
xkforce@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•T-Mobile sued after employee stole nude images from customer phone during trade-inEnglish0·2 years agoYouve never actually had that happen if you think its that easy.
Guys no…
-
You cant wipe a phone remotely with your google sign on unless “find my device” is enabled, which it never was.
-
My phone does not just give access automatically to any device plugged into it. You are REQUIRED to give permission from the phone. Which cant be done because the screen is fucked.
-
Your phone SHOULDNT be accessible in this scenario because allowing any device to just plug in and download everything with no authentication is a security risk.

xkforce@lemmy.worldto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Friendly reminder: Be nicer to yourselves, bitchesEnglish1·2 years agoAfter I was diagnosed, I think it made it easier for me to be more forgiving of myself. Because I looked at my past differently because of it. So many things made more sense. The hypermobility (I could bend my legs far beyond what was normal when I was a kid and this is common in ADHD), feeling antsy/uncomfortable sitting still or otherwise not having anything to do, so many hobbies I went full force into until I got burned out or bored and moved on, impulsivity, feeling like you dont think like most people do, hyperfocus, skipping homework and other boring/tedious tasks, difficulty “shutting off your mind” to sleep, rejection sensitivity, feeling like your emotions are stronger or harder to control, rumination (agonizing over mistakes or social screw ups late at night), procrastination combined with extreme last minute productivity, sensory sensitivity eg. food textures, surfaces, socks etc, rambling, connecting completely disperate things/concepts together

xkforce@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Microsoft - keep your filthy hands off Valve, leak shows MSFT would buy ValveEnglish1·2 years agoMoney? Remember when people thought that about Mojang?
Do people actually get mad over that? Why?
Or the devs could have fixed the bug and not expect the player to work around it.
