Gambling and math would seem to me the opposite of two face’s concepts. IE the classic coin flip is because he considers 50/50 luck to be fairness. Gambling maths are typically, figuring out how to make something unfair in your favor.

12·2 days agoI think the real point is, to try to adjust for the source, figure out what topics they seem to avoid, and take that into account. Point is there’s not really any news you can trust to be honest always about everything. But if you can figure out what topics each source is likely to censor and misrepresent, you can get the most accurate picture possible.
Wouldn’t law be the thing for Harvey to teach?

1·2 days agoWait are you implying some of the first particles to exit the big bang were nazi’s?
It’s room for discussion of whether non human animals could exhibit fassist characteristics. But time started over 13 billion years ago, and the earliest life that we know of can be estimated to be under 4 billion years ago. No matter how you slice it, even if another planet that we don’t know of, formed as fast as possible, and evolution took a beeline to the first viable species capable of having nazi ideology. there has to have been at least a billion years of no nazis.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does James Bond run and fight in suits?English
101·2 days agoYeah the general concept is… Agents and Detectives aren’t the line of fire people. Detectives are called in AFTER the action is long over, and regular cops would be the ones doing the chasing in the .01% of situations where there’s someone on scene to chase.
Most types of “agents” are pretty boring overall. Interviews, note taking, or if it is excitement they are undercover so, they’d wear what matters for that role.
and of course 99% of combat is, draw a gun, aim for the center of mass.
Physical violence is mostly only done by badly trained beat cops, or failed beat cops that are now ice agents.

9·3 days agoWe only want to support aggressors in wars. if you want the US’s help, you need to 1. already have a nuke, 2. drop the first bomb.
No there’s a valid point to not want to be a part of a community that platforms the individuals. and I can certainly see a valid point in why blocking doesn’t solve it. 1. different users post from the artists, it’s not going to be met at an individual level.
IMO it should be a community level decision.
Though that’s why I still hold to the suggestion that this scism is large enough that a community should be made. Because I can agree with the concept, if the mods in a community don’t agree, making a new community is a solution
I feel like we just need to split comics. Whole point of lemmy is to basically allow us to fragment. so mods of world comics don’t care, why not pick an instance make a comic strips with a banned author list. If more people would like to be free of comics from unsavory authors they can move there.
I imagine a lot of factors… but yeah that’s a big one, no mountains, no buildings, no population centers, you can miss by 100 miles and just add some time to the recovery.

2·3 days agoBased on cawthornes votes etc… I’d say the concept he has is more money going into the millitary budget, and more pre-emptive actions abroad keeps us safer back here.
Fully completely disagree with it a thousand fold. Had we not stuck our noses into the middle east so much 9/11 would never have happened (and I’m just working with what had happened at the time of cawthrons controversy rather than the obvious much more recent iran nonsense.

politics @lemmy.world•AOC wrestles with left-wing Dems as 2028 decision loomsEnglish
972·4 days agoI mean, I have to say, so far in the running she seems to be the one that’s at least trying to gather support from the left of the party, rather than distancing herself as far from us as possible. With the current leaders like Gavin Newsome, who’s desperately trying to throw us under the bus, backing the billionares, and harris who’s feeling that her 2024 failure was because she was too far left.
So yeah she’s a flawed candidate, but so far I haven’t seen a better option yet.

18·4 days agoI would also vote in that direction.
I get the concept, it’s basically the same issues in like Harry Potter or Five nights at freddies. IE a lot of LGBT people like these works, but it’s also unquestionable that the profits that the works make, are used to bolster hate against these groups, even if the works themselves are not harmful to them.
So yes I also go with this camp, platforming non-hateful work made by hateful people still supports hateful creators and allows them to amplify the hateful message.
That said this is lemmy. We have the means here. If lemmy world comic strips want an open door “as long as the comics posted themselves aren’t hateful it’s allowed”. Perhaps someone should make a Comic Strips on a different instance, and lemmy users can vote with their feet.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA Freaks Out After Trump Posts AI Photo of Himself as JesusEnglish
3·6 days agoWell worth noting, been a long time since I was a fundimentalist who read the bible… and the left behind books, but if I recall a pretty significant difference in the anti-christ before and after the antichrist makes it’s miraculous recovery in revelation 13.
In short it’s hard to really define the “fatal wound to the head” that the bible describes. IE could be the assasination, could be the election loss in 2020… could be the 42 fellony convictions. Point is if you were looking for something to match prophetically, trump has over performed that. But anyway point is after that the antichrist kind of goes into overdrive. Some interpretations have it as that’s when he comes into full power, or that’s when he’s emboldened and doesn’t need to play politics as much so he can accelerate everything.

18·6 days agoSo… he’s trying the put powerful direct sunlight into the body to cure covid? Is there a syringe of bleach in the back pocket of the tourniquet.
I mean I’d have to say, it is a sizable portion of americans. IE the whole selling point of tarrifs is to encourage manufacturing and jobs to move over here. There certainly is a significant amount of overlap between people that want more manufacturing in america that also widely want minimum wage to stay the same or even go down.
Now obviously this ven diagram isn’t a circle, there’s plenty of people that do actually want products to be made by people making enough to live on, both not screwing over labor in the global south etc… or in the US.
Oh it’s ok, my buddy told me lemmy auto censors your password. it shows as a real password to me, but to you guys it’s all stars. Just like in IRC.


It tops on at at so many levels, obviously you don’t doordash to the whitehouse to begin with. Obviously the fact that she’s a regular fox news interviewee, she’s hand picked for their propoganda. The fact that her supposed story an example of the american hellscape nightmare. The fact that trump acted like a $100 tip is a big deal for someone trying to pay off medical bills.
And then to top it off, he tried to get her to talk about his political issues that I guess even she didn’t want to, to focus back on the staged script she wanted to talk on. I want to know who the hell this kind of insanely bad propoganda is for lol.
I mean hell, trump needs to hire like Mr Beast as a PR team. While corrupt as hell, pretty sure for the views he’d go "Well guess what… we’re flying your husband out to the best cancer center in the world and I’m covering the whole treatment!
