I love (read: hate) how comfortable some people are loudly proclaiming how little empathy they have.

have you ever had to confront a female mob at the workplace? by november in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

This sounds like a plausible thing that actually happened.

How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ by november in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Kind of seems like a contradiction

They don't care. There's no point in calling conservatives out on hypocrisy. Only a very small number of them will give a shit, and those will be the ones who were already having doubts.

I see what the problem is.

Here, this should be more agreeable to you:

Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973) is a South African and British entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of Canonical, the company behind the development of the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system.[1] In 2002, Shuttleworth became the first South African to travel to space, doing so as a space tourist.[2][3][4] He lives on the Isle of Man and holds dual citizenship from South Africa and the United Kingdom.[5][6] According to the Sunday Times Rich List in 2020, Shuttleworth is worth an estimated £500 million. --Wikipedia

Is this a triangle? (lemmy.vg)

I would have asked this on a math community but I couldn't find an active one.

In a spherical geometry, great circles are "straight lines". As such, a triangle can have two or even three right angles to it.

But what if you go the long way around the back of the sphere? Is that still a triangle?

(Edit:) I guess it's a triangle! Fair enough; I can't think of what else you would call it. Thanks, everyone.

[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes. by november in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Oh, well, if others are worse then I guess you're not doing anything wrong.

If you know there's going to be a traffic jam at 5PM on the I-Fuckit, aggravated by your presence, is that not intent or, at the very least, gross negligence?

At what point do carbrains become liable for destroying the environment?

What's a phrase you hear a lot, but disagree with? by november in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] november@lemmy.vg 74 points 2 months ago

"Grow up and live in the real world" / "Life's not fair" / other thought-terminating cliches used to shut down anyone who wants the world to be a better place than it is. Like, I fucking know it's an unfair place. The whole point is that I would like for it to be less unfair.

My impression of github since switching to Linux by november in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] november@lemmy.vg 30 points 2 months ago

your distro has it prepackaged 1 version out of date

And the only reason you wanted to install the thing is because it's a prerequisite for some other thing you wanted to install, which requires the latest version.

Men, how do you deal with the misandry online. Does it affect you mentally? by november in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] november@lemmy.vg 26 points 3 months ago

What do you mean by "misandry"?

If you mean "women venting about their experiences in a male-dominated world", then I don't give a shit. I just try not to be the reason they're complaining.

If you mean unrealistic emotional expectations for men, like we're not allowed to cry or be sensitive or feel any emotion but anger, it frustrates me. I don't really know how to handle it.

I'm on board now. Fuck cars. by november in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

[-] november@lemmy.vg 16 points 3 months ago

This is what I've seen called "the subtractive fallacy".

People say "cars are bad, we should rely on them less", and instead of envisioning what that would actually mean, you just assume that the future they advocate for is exactly the same as the present but without cars. Of course that would suck. Good thing no one wants that.
