I (wrongly) assumed that if he was hilarious to have made that graphic, that he’d maybe be more reasonable, hopefully funny. I was disappoint.

It did kick off me spending about 2 hours comparing Signal to SimpleX, and Briar, and a bunch of others, and I can only conclude Signal is the best out of them. The security community seems to be REALLY paranoid about every, single, tiny little thing - but I understand that they must be.

SimpleX doesn’t do any kind of IP address masking or have quantum resistant double ratchet encryption.

Briar doesn’t account for rogue-tor nodes, etc.

There’s just always some big glaring flaw in one of them.

That’s probably the only reason I clicked it. Honestly, kinda regret that I did because the author just seems like a dude yelling at the sky because he’s wildly critical of the smallest things but doesn’t offer up any solutions.

Depends if they sold, where they sold, and a bunch of other factors.

That isn’t how genetics work and it isn’t how intelligence works.

On a simplified level, it absolutely is. If having more kids gives an evolutionary advantage, and being unintelligent is part of that caste, then absolutely the children will be born with a lower capacity for intelligence.

Look at Huskeys vs other dogs. Massive, MASSIVE difference in personality, intelligence, energy, etc.

And they aren’t a different species either - it takes fractions of a % of difference in DNA to produce huge swings in things like intelligence.

If we share something like 90% of our DNA with monkeys, it’s not going to take an entire speciation to measure intelligence differences. This is a lie told by people who pretend to be scientists, but are more interested in the moral implications of confirming than they are truth and facts. Yes, telling people you can control the genetic population of the species to push for certain outcomes within the species in a dangerous thing. We get that. But that is the truth of the matter, not some fairy-tale that we’re all kumbyah and that every genetically distinct population doesn’t have advantages and disadvantages (of which there are hundreds or thousands of distinct genetic populations within the h. sapien species; If you’re a pacific islander, a DNA test can tell you exactly what island you originate from).

Sure, on an individual level - people as single data-points can fall upon that distribution, but you absolutely can shift that distribution up or down.

Granted, doing genetic control like this comes with its own incredibly dangerous set of consequences such as amplification of mutant genome, because you would be controlling for 1 trait, but missing the other millions of traits/genetic markers that you need to keep diverse in order to keep the human body working. – Again, using dogs as a reference here, how most dalmations have hearing problems or are completely deaf because when their line was bred, they were controlling for the patterning, not other genetic defects.

If we bred for it, we could make it happen. That’s the point.

Also, it isn’t unscientific. They’ve done it in rat/mouse studies. Look up mouse utopia. We aren’t immune to social collapse. As a species we aren’t that smart to begin with. It’s our social structure, public schooling, etc that allow us to advance early age and maintain the higher order thought that our society continues to have. When shit goes sideways, kids don’t have public schools any more, etc – you’ll see how stupid genetically, we all are.

I have friends, who are legitimately “mentally stunted” because they weren’t taught language due to a neglective environment.

TV shows almost look like OW MY BALLS today; with newer smart TVs injecting ads into content that isn’t even theirs.

We’ve got a president doing McDonalds buffets for events, suggesting people “inject light” into their veins for medical intervention, wanting to rename greenland to “Red White and Blueland”…

Nah. That shit hits far too close to home.

And if other animals can be bred for specific traits, so can humans. We’re not special in any way regarding that. Rejecting that because of how it was incorrectly used to justify horrible things in the past is flat out unscientific.

Idiocracy. We’re basically dumping brawndo on the plants as we speak…

There is only 1. uBlock Origin.

I’ve only ever done those speeds on a VERY clear interstate highway with little to no traffic, in my dumbass teenage years - honestly it’s a miracle I didn’t get myself killed; looking back it was absolutely irresponsible, but damn it was fun :D

That’s about 40mph faster than I’ve ever driven, and even in a sports car it gets squirrely VERY fast at those speeds. Holy shit.

nah. That external magnetic field should be counting as the robot as well, because it can’t operate without it.

Daaaaamn, you got me there. lol

Did none of you bitches fucking use tape-recorders?

We’re not talking about the politicians here, we’re talking about individuals in society who aren’t responsible for the things you point out. Normal people who visit Lemmy.

Nobody is calling anyone communist, it was used as an anchor point for the reference in the political spectrum. Hell, the word communist wasn’t even used, you’re putting words into my mouth.

The word “Nazi” has been devalued so much because of how easily the word is thrown around. It’s slapped onto anyone and everyone who doesn’t agree with wildly out of touch values commonly put forth on Lemmy.

Politics isn’t black and white. It’s not even a fucking spectrum. It’s a multi-thorned spider graph with an incredible number of facets surrounding everything from Employment, to Belief Systems, to Social Safety, and many other things. To immediately label anyone and everyone who doesn’t hit FULL FUCKING TILT on all of your issues a “Nazi” just means you’re not mature enough to have an adult conversation about the topic and that you’re living in a bubble of unreality.

We have more in common than we disagree on. The first step is not throwing a tantrum like a god damn child.

The problem is literally that people keep labeling anything slightly right of genderqueer marxist-lenninist a “nazi”. There’s plenty of common ground between what Lemmy considers a “Nazi” and actual Nazis.

And now they’re partnering with Proton!

You can do whatever the hell you want with enough lawyers.

it is illogical and self destructive to let an external being have power over my happiness, health, satisfaction, human experience… especially if this being is heavily influenced by tech companies (instagram, facebook, apple), media (hollywood, netflix, movies, shows, music), governments, religions and her friends who are also heavily influenced.

Bro, this is not how relationships work. You need to step back and get a better perspective on the real world. Relationships are equal partnerships. They should generally make both partners better people, not suck the life out of one or the other.

See, this is a perfect example – this person very clearly thinks that all men only want to have sex. It paints that picture absolutely perfectly.

They asked Women if they’d rather be alone in the woods and come across a bear, or a man; and many of them chose bear because they thought men were untrustworthy.

It’s more an expression of misandry than misogyny. Men are defaulted in many minds to be violent sexual predators.
