It’s so weird how my public education really stressed that non-violence was the best way to get things done but only gave two extremely cherry-picked examples versus the entirety of human history. Super duper weird.

politics @lemmy.world•John Fetterman signals he would consider quitting Democratic Party if they make ‘troubling’ majority leader pickEnglish
27·15 hours agoFetterman left the party a while ago, back around the brain damage. The weakness of the party has kept him around.
It will be interesting to see how the Dems manage the new rotation. With ~55 votes in the Senate they will need multiple ‘villains of the week’. Sort of how the GOP the last two years has had to keep the ‘sane person of the week’ to a minimum on account of thin majorities and keeping Trump happy.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Universities Are Giving Up on Trying to Detect AI CheatingEnglish
9·3 days agoJust like they gave up on all previous forms of cheating. Anyone clamoring that degrees will be useless NOW has not been paying attention. Until universities are held accountable for unleashing incompetent cheaters onto society, the financial incentive is to throughput as many students as possible and it has been for a long time.
And it’s not just financial incentives. Many institutions are difficult to get into. They have a process and hold that process, their judgement, in high regards. If someone gets in and is a failure that reflects poorly on them. They want students to succeed, one way or another, to show what brilliant students they attract.

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats’ plan to scrap the Electoral College is finally within reach. One of its architects is having second thoughts.English
11·3 days agoIt’s such a tacked-on dipshit solution that will fail the first time it is tested. “But we had an agreement! A compact!” a little more than half the nation will say while [insert swing state that goes GOP] laughs and makes Trump’s illegitimate rape baby raised by inbred cannibals POTUS.
The majority of people involved in automobile collisions are not at fault. Yes, “good” drivers (who still make mistakes on account of fragile carbon bodies) have less risk, but we’re talking a fraction of a fraction here.

politics @lemmy.world•Jeffries dragged for 'serious leadership problem' as Hegseth impeachment bid falls 7 votes short with 11 Dem no-showsEnglish
3·3 days agoFirst order of business for whoever replaces that twat Jeffries in 2027, bring back remote/proxy voting. There are so many antiquated aspects to our government that desperately need updating. Remote voting is far from the most important, but it is the one that will help make the others a reality.

1·15 days agoPerhaps? Can anyone think of an example of expensive software being market dominant when free/inexpensive options exist? Perhaps go look out your Windows at some Adobe walls. Maybe this will be the case where the 3rd neurons of C-suite types activates. Though I can hear someone who has never had a real day of work in their life saying “it’s too expensive and we’re not going to [spend less money for a permanent solution, probably stated as though it’s an impossible task because they don’t understand it], go back to the old ways and we’ll give ourselves promotions for correcting this SUPER INTELLIGENCE boondoggle we created.”

281·16 days agoKeep holding on. LLMs are still in the operate-at-a-loss-to-control-the-market stage. Once they start charging the real cost, human software engineers will be more in demand. That and refocus. All of human history is careers reinventing themselves as new tools become available.
Yes, and be sure to call anyone who disagrees a monster and idiot. Bonus points if after calling them an idiot you say something factually wrong like you’re dropping truth bombs. Then step outside and enjoy a victory smoke, the weather is wonderful this time of year in Moscow.
I’m not sure being on foot in most US cities is a great idea. Car-centric design and low density means you can’t disrupt much and you’re basically caging yourself in for authorities with car to have their way with you. That’s probably why it’s encouraged. Meanwhile, like 20 cars strategically placed could shut down / turn to chaos a large city.

I don’t know the official MCU explanation for the Hulk, but in the comics the lore goes to absolutely insane places and him gaining mass is incredibly tame in the grand scheme of things.
I have not seen that one, but people taking a bad situation an making it much worse for the dumbest reasons possible actually sounds painfully realistic.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wetEnglish
5·3 months agoDoorless showers are great for the elderly, disabled, orgies, you name it- WHEN DONE RIGHT. This is far from correct. The shower spray should be spraying away from the entry, not right fucking at it. It’s puzzling because it looks like the control valve is on the near side so they routed the head all the way around to be in the wrong place? Even then, this is kind of a small space for a doorless. Also, one of those stupid corner shelves and a safety handle way the fuck in the corner. Buy a shower rod and floor length curtain to hang inside the glass wall. It’ll be real fancy.
