I realize in hindsight I should have worded my comment more specifically. I’m NOT talking about the dude. I’m talking about all the comments at the girl.

I will never not condone clowning on rich assholes. Nobody gets that kind of money without some form of exploitation, and those kinds of people are fair game.

My comment was regarding all the other cringe comments in the thread that are saying shit like she’s not that hot anyway, or she looks fake, etc.

I can generally agree with that if it’s something someone can’t change. However: fuck billionaires

I don’t think a group of FOSS Linux bros are having supermodel girlfriends lol, but anyway…

I’m not even puzzled as to why people think she looks bad. I’m puzzled as to why people think anything about her looks at all.

Seems some people here are projecting their insecurities.

I don’t even care, either. I just hate hypocrites. Don’t throw stones from glass houses.

So are we only standing up against body shaming for ugly people? We’re okay shitting on attractive people that might have had cosmetic work done? Are we a bunch of hypocrites that stand for nothing and only react when our own feelings are hurt?

Boo Lemmy. Y’all can do better.

Drill, impact, etc are pretty much necessary to have cordless. I agree with the corded stuff though. Need an angle grinder or sawzall? Get corded. Way more powerful too.

Chemically induced motivation. Just how I like need it

Not much these days

Or YouTube vanced/revanced for mobile

Homophobia? Did we read the same comment?

Username checks out.

As a certified electrician, this logic also works the other way. I wire things. I don’t know why your PC won’t boot. Yes your computer uses electricity, but this is not my professional forté.

My dad likes to tinker with stuff, and he’s a pretty mechanically inclined guy.

He pulled an old shitty lawnmower out of a scrap metal bin, and made a motorized bar stool. The bloody thing rips across his shop at like 20km/h!

I don’t know where I was going with that, but scrap metal bins are a gold mine for free shit to tinker with. Good luck brother

It’ll generally default to C drive on Windows. Most of the time, you’d click “browse” and select another drive.

It’s stupid, but it suggests buying a cyber truck is its own form of birth control.

If something is against “national interest” and your president is trying to become an autocrat, that means they can essentially pick and choose what national interest is. This should be setting off alarm bells in EVERYONE’S head as an obvious grab for power.

I’m not american, so I don’t have direct skin in the game, but everyone on both sides of the political spectrum who don’t self identify as fascist should be against this.

If you don’t interpret this as something extremely dangerous, you need to have a sit down and really think about the implications.

It really was weirdly good.

These daily doom saying threads on this website are pathetic. No more weed for you friend. Time to turn off the news and touch some grass.

Maybe they can see you 👀

I agree, it isn’t that nuanced. My point again, is just that the government should not be involved, legally speaking. Do you trust the government to allow circumcision under certain circumstances, but not others? I don’t.

I assume you’re in Europe or something. I’m in Canada, and our politicians are looking down south thinking they might have some pretty good ideas. Look at the bans on abortions in the USA, that are blanket bans, even when medically necessary. People literally have to flee their state to get an abortion. Their life being at risk is no consequence to these lawmakers.

I’m happy you believe you live in a place where you trust your politicians to make smart moves that benefit people. I don’t trust mine, and I will not be voting for anything that restricts personal autonomy. I can look down south and see how easily this can be weaponized against the population.

As a final note, I agree with the sentiment of the arguement. You should not be able to circumcise your kid just because you want to.

If this isn’t agreeable to you, we can agree to disagree and move on.

I appreciate the discussion regardless.

Of course not, because a medical professional would advise against it.

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about: I had plastic surgery on my nose when I was a kid. I got into an accident which resulted in the near loss of my nose. I spent some time in the ER, and then had one of the best plastic surgeons in my area perform restorative work on my face.

If it wasn’t for this procedure, I likely wouldn’t have a nose today. Fortunately, because there was no law preventing a child from getting plastic surgery, I look completely normal as an adult.

Plastic surgery is a bit of a misnomer. There was no artificial material involved.

Do you see what I’m saying though? Giving plastic surgery to a kid sounds absolutely ridiculous, but there are its use cases, and if there was a flat ban on plastic surgery for children, it could harm people more than help, myself included.

The government often doesn’t understand the nuances of certain situations. In mine, the surgery was cosmetic, and the government could have deemed it unnecessary. I could have lived a happy life without a nose. Do I trust the government to make a logical argument for why my cosmetic surgery as a child is justified? Do I trust them to delineate between an unneeded surgery or not? Absolutely not.

Sometimes, it isn’t as black and white as Botox and burns.
