Is that the same thing we Americans refer to as an “English Muffin”? I always thought crumpets were cookies or something lol.

Generally the type of people who make graffiti worth looking at aren’t the sort of people who want to draw with a tablet and stylus.

Fuckin’ yikes.

Congress is a representation of corporate interest and little more. Maybe there’s some religion in there too, but it’s definitely not representing the average American citizen.

Then you wait until you get home or to an otherwise appropriate venue. No one wants to hear a tutorial they didn’t ask for about putting up drywall on their commute home or in the grocery store.

Years ago I would’ve argued real money is backed by something like gold, but here we are now, basing most currency globally off the USD which is just fiat money. So yeah, there really isn’t anything making USD more legitimate than Bitcoin as long as humans are associating value to it.

I’m not really sure how to prove this in a Lemmy comment without doxing myself, so suffice it to say that yes, I would gladly lay down my life to defend my beliefs.

Fuck that, get violent. Revolutions are never bloodless.

The one that sticks with me is called “the cold equations”, and it’s about a pilot flying a ship through space and discovering he has a young girl stowing away on board. Since he only has enough fuel to get to his destination if the ship weighs a very specific amount, he has to decide whether or not to jettison the girl out the airlock. I remember liking it, but I’ve never forgotten how emotional it was to read.

Never put your phone in your back pocket. I briefly worked at a Verizon store and like 20-30% of broken phones I saw came from people who sat on it in their back pocket.

You mean 2002 and 2003, right?

Until you can use things like banking apps on them they will never be mainstream sadly.

Why would that be unusual at all?

It’s equally possible you’re just assuming everyone who doesn’t share your opinion is a paid troll. I got called a Russian troll multiple times for saying Biden had no business being in this election and that we could do better. Imo it’s far more likely you’re talking to a child than a “paid troll” if their opinions don’t make sense and they dig their heels in. Assuming everything is some grand conspiracy instead of accepting that some people have different beliefs and opinions, or might just be that stupid, simply isn’t healthy. Trolls and such exist, sure, but I don’t think they are anywhere near as common as you’re implying.

I mean, you said that camera thing like it was some kind of mic drop lol. I’m also not sure what you mean by “my logic”, since I don’t personally have much of an opinion on the law it’s self, I was just curious why someone would be so vehemently against it. I’m not the original commenter that started this chain.

If it’s a matter of wasted resources, I guess I see your point, but it’s a bit of a reach. I don’t know if it’s as big of a waste as you’re claiming when we have corporations trying to implant customers with brain chips like neuralink, I mean who knows where that technology could go if it ever gets off the ground. Personally I think the Justice system attempting to have a bit of foresight is a good thing.

Is there a downside to having a law like this on the books?

Also, isn’t banning cameras like a mind-blowingly bad idea? That would mean people couldn’t do things like record police committing crimes, hell you wouldn’t even be able to install a dash cam on your car.

Pretty sure this is the article being referenced. https://www.thefield.co.uk/country-house/queens-horses-black-beauties-knightsbridge-31908

this was a thing before ICP even existed.

My guess why this comic is confusing people here is simply due to the fact that the Lemmy community is primarily made up of middle aged straight men, many of whom have probably dealt with bitter divorce and find the base concept of this comic impossible to relate to.
