Dear God Please No. Anyone but her, Hillary, or Klobuchar. I don’t recall knowing anything about this Mark Kelly dude prior to a few days ago, but that in itself might as well be a goddamn Medal of Honor next to what I know of them.

Hell, I voted Bush over John Kerry in '04, and while I still don’t care for the “turn in your guns for healthcare” strategy they lost with then and earlier with Gore, I can pinch my nose and vote for that quicker than seeing half my neighbors, family, and friends deported, dragged off to internment/conversion camps, or just plain killed.

Okay, apparently I need to be more clear/relatable/explicit: too many particularly ugly dick-pics and posts of equivalent quality/utility.

No-where near as bad as reddit, but like I said, not-at-all an improvement on my subscribed feed, which I am happy with. I don’t mind dicks. Pics I can smell and smell nasty, and posts of such quality, of which there are an order of magnitude more than actual dick-pics that even bother me, are another matter.

I can and do often drive by the city dump to get to other places. More often, I browse all just in case. Rarely, I do actually browse lemmynsfw.com un-filtered. Happy?

… and I have? That’s not the topic at hand though.

No idea. Apparently when you try to post or comment in an area you are banned from, as OP encountered, but, contrarian/dismissive/contentious/just-plain-dickish as I can be, I’ve never even seen that.

Its not often I make time to peruse Local or All any more though. Basically, too many dick-pics and stuff of that quality there, versus my tastes. I am subscribed to enough communities that there is likely very little on Lemmy I am missing out on.

… and if it was Taiwanese waters instead of mainland China’s that were breached, I could maybe be bothered to continue to argue with you.

Yeah, upon reading the article I conceded the arguement vs the headline. Doesn’t mean I have to continue responding to you. Bye now.

Likely from a community they were not previously aware existed. Shit we are banned from shouldn’t be showing up in our All or even Local feeds … unless you like people making alt accounts to go trolling or whatever?

no one cares

No, dude literally said at the end that he had no idea what else would be the cause. That’s a pretty damn strong opinion in the face of everything that’s happened in recent decades.

Did you? Sure, it quotes a study, but its otherwise a bunch of quotes from one of the study authors, an author who has a definite idea of what to blame:

Smart phones, and nothing else. Let’s hope he’s better at conducting studies than he is at staying abreast of current events, but yeah, this non-sense is close to cream-of-the-crop for the Scientific Americanlivescience.com “articles” that are always cluttering my Lemmy feed. Okay, so I confused one site for another, but we should demand better of more respectable sites, as well as round-filing the utter garbage.

Fair enough. Apologies.

Turns out the headline is correct, but not because of anything to do with recognizing Taiwan. The ship sailed within 12 miles of the Chinese Mainland.

Yet another opinion piece to remind me that blocking posts by domain can’t come soon enough.

Come again?

Taiwanese* waters…

Ouch. So he didn’t actually complete the assignment in a minute…

Not what I asked at all. I am the last person to care for the concept of what is or isn’t lady-like behavior.

Umm … what models all relax like so?

Sounds like you should have taken his phone away when everyone else had finished, or before that, since he was distracting others. Also sounds like the assignment wasn’t challenging enough for him.

Random book, even one mentioned in the article, along with anecdotes by the author, lists more and better studies than the 1,317 studies scoped by the Queensland University of Technology? Doubt.

I mean, I agree its already broken, but proponents of this “it’s x thousand pixels wide!” non-sense will point out that at least it rounds up to that number, so I opted to point of the vaule at whict that excuse, too, breaks down. 4k has 4 times(2x2) the pixels as 1080P, and 8k has, well shit, 16 times(4x4) the pixels as 1080P. Someone shit the bed with this non-sense.

Apparently the “official” standard defines nothing beyond 8k. Go figure.
