survivorship bias

Klingt wie der Bi-Ba-Butzemann und das ist kein Roboter.

It’s the “grandpa has been using slotted all his life so it can’t be bad” reasoning. I can’t think of a single use case I’d want slotted or even philips, if I’ve got a choice. Torx or bust!

If you’re having trouble with Torx, buy better screws and bits. There are so many terrible screws around. The difference between a deep well fitting head and the cheap trash is massive.

This. Remember the cool kids from high school smoking, drinking, taking drugs? Yeah they look like 50 in their 30s now.

1993 is 30 years ago tho

Palestinian kid: exists

IDF: so you’ve chosen death

I kid you not but only a few days ago someone here on lemmy argued that you can’t take anything he says at face value… Because you know… He lies. Especially if he only said it once.

Yes it was supposed to be a pro-Trump argument because Trump said he’d want for Israel to finish the job (in Gaza) and that guy argued, he’ll vote for Trump because Biden is complicit in genocide.

I didn’t use any alt or downvote anyone. But why would I draw a chart of Germanys system without insurance companies? That wouldn’t be the German system.

And that’s my point. This isn’t showing the German system. So your initial assessment of this being oversimplified because it’s different in Germany doesn’t make any sense.

Because this doesn’t describe what Germany has. There aren’t any insurance companies in the graphic. In Germany we don’t pay taxes for our healthcare, we pay contributions. So why would this be oversimplified because Germany?

In Germany we’ve something we call “wehrhafte Demokratie” which basically means a democracy capable of defending itself. There are measures in place (in theory) that prevent parties that aim to destroy the democracy from getting into power by winning elections.

Someone who openly admits his goal is to end democracy shouldn’t be able to run for president. It’s what happened in Germany back in 1933. The NSDAP won the general election and took over the government via democratic means and within weeks destroyed the democracy. Never again (hopefully)

Did you though? He’s running again with a good chance to become president, again.

I can only speak for myself but I am sick and tired of the fate of the world hanging on whatever mentally deranged and unhinged extremist the US might elect every few years. Aren’t you supposed to be the oldest democracy in the world? I expect as much from countries like Russia or China but the US should do better.

The world needs the US to do better.

Yet you (America) still vote this guy in. Somethings rotten and wrong over there and you guys better figure it out.

I don’t know a thing about windows 11 but they’ll have to claw windows 10 away from me to force me to switch. Why would I even want to? Windows 10 works just fine and even that I only switched to because they fucking forced me. If I could I’d still use Windows 2000. I loved that one. XP was fine as well though. I don’t want to worry about my OS. I want it to fucking work.

But an OS you don’t need to upgrade doesn’t generate money.

“In the early 1960s, roughly 13% of people were considered obese by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. Recent figures suggest that a current national obesity rate closer to 43%.”

Looks to me the fatties have doubled since the 80s and 90s. Just because there used to be fat people before, doesn’t mean there’s no problem today. Line goes up. If the trend continues, it’s just like 2-3 decades till almost everyone is fat.

Seems like a big problem to me

Back when they made “300” it was almost satire how shredded these guys looked. It was obvious it wasn’t realistic and wasn’t meant to be. Nowadays we get shows like Reacher with an absolutely humongous lead that’s supposed to wander around doing jack shit all day… right. His mother shat him out this way.

And female “tough” leads are often tiny and no muscle in sight yet they still kick ass and routinely dispose off bad guys twice their size. Why do the guys even need to be this big when physics don’t matter?

I hate this so much. Hollywood is so fucking fake.

A download manager would be nice…

By being a sane human being for instance. Try empathy.

Who did invade Ukraine two years ago? Putin can end the war anytime.

So they can keep shooting down russian jets you buffoon?

River. It’s the river. Kinda hard to see if you don’t know what to look for.
