mienshao@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•It's Official, Switch 2 Has Sold Over 3.5 Million Units Globally In Its First Four DaysEnglish428·8 days agoOkay? Why leave this comment? What does this contribute to this convo? Good for you I guess?
mienshao@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When asked "are you an honest person?" The only logical answer is yes.English1·9 days agoI feel like I’m in the Labyrinth again…
mienshao@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website.English33·9 days agoI hate how hard this made me laugh
You need to do some googling because it absolutely does support 4K. Like what?
mienshao@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?English382·11 days agoDisagree that it’s “5% of the population max” — I’ve seen estimates that around 10% of the population are lgbtq… but even assuming it’s 5%, in a country of 340 mil, that comes out to 17 million people. And a bunch of people at pride are straight, so it’s no wonder why they draw in such huge numbers each year.
Regardless… what does gay pride have to do with workers rights? Why does that make you mad — they’re not preventing anyone else from organizing? And from my experience, lgbtq folks are very vocal about workers rights specifically (given the discrimination they face in the workplace for being gay/trans/etc)
And unlike some other movements, there is a very rooted history of public demonstration by the gay/trans community given laws specifically preventing them from gathering in public. In many ways, pride parades represent gay/trans people reaffirming their rights to literally just be in public together without being arrested.
So yeah… I get that there should be more public demonstrations — I’m all for that. But leave gay/trans rights alone please lol
mienshao@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"?English49·14 days agoLawyer here! Would just like to say that this is aggressively accurate—Tartarus reference and all.
mienshao@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•US supreme court sides with heterosexual woman in ‘reverse discrimination’ caseEnglish771·14 days agoMisleading title. The issue was that, in discrimination cases, lower courts started making majority groups (white people, straight people) provide extra evidence of discrimination than is usually required in order to win an employment discrimination case. All this decision did is clarified that, for discrimination cases, majority groups don’t need to provide extra evidence of discrimination—there isn’t a higher bar for majority groups. The ‘burden’ of evidence of discrimination is the same regardless of which group is claiming discrimination. The Supreme Court, in making this decision, didn’t decide any facts, they just instructed the lower court to look at the case again with this clarification in mind. The lower courts might still find she wasn’t subject to discrimination.
mienshao@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Meet the ‘Relationship Anarchists’ Ditching Romantic NormsEnglish9·14 days agoInteresting! Very interesting. I feel like all these ‘anti-rules’ of relationship anarchy are just as difficult to manage as those of monogamy. But idk, never done relationship anarchy, so just an outsider’s perspective.
mienshao@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•The FDA Is Approving Drugs Without Evidence They WorkEnglish513·14 days agoNot arguing against the substance of the article, but I can’t help but wonder if this is the best way to address this issue. Measles was eradicated from the US but is now back and has claimed lives purely due to vaccine skepticism. I just worry that yet another article criticizing the FDA for pushing drugs that aren’t safe/effective will do more harm than good at this point. Idk, I just sincerely question if now is the time to give americans more reasons not to trust medical professionals. (Again, not arguing with the substance of the article—very disappointing and disturbing that FDA is doing this—but just concerned about the time, manner, and place of this criticism.)
mienshao@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When people say "just be yourself" and criticize intentions, they confuse the glass box with the personality inside, and they take their own glass's cleanliness (what makes it transparent) for grantedEnglish132·14 days agoFucking what? Is this AI or just an incredibly stupid post?
mienshao@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Top Jan. 6 prosecutor Greg Rosen resigns from DOJ, says Trump pardons sent "terrible message"English7·15 days agoOrange hitler made those pardons weeks ago, so wtf took so long?
Disagree—people are looking to throw knives at Nintendo. Microsoft and Sony are just as evil while more expensive, yet nobody’s saying boo to them! There’s a bias against Nintendo, showing up in ways like this, and it’s fucking annoying.
