You mean 2002 and 2003, right?

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

Women have been complaining in popular media for decades about random dudes approaching them and asking them out. How is it a surprise that the trend is dying out? It's clearly something that most women don't enjoy to begin with.

Why would that be unusual at all?

Nah this post can go fuck it's self. Xenophobic as shit. Same rhetoric people use about immigrants.

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.

Pretty sure ML stands for Marxist Leninist, doesn't it?

As this comment shows it's very easy to twist the meaning of something like this to suit your needs when viewing it through the lens of metaphor as the author intended. However, I'm fairly certain historians have figured out fairly definitively that the beast in revelations was always meant to depict Emperor Nero. I'm too lazy to look it up right now though so I could be wrong.

During the testimony, Warren's attorney, Jean-Jacques Cabou asked those within DeSantis' administration what "woke" meant to them.

The governor's general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

They know what Woke means, and it's just as fucking backwards and asinine as you'd expect. Imagine trying to criminalize people fighting for equality. It's the only word I'm aware of that is simultaneously classist, racist, misogynistic, and anti-lgbtq thanks to how the right have chosen to use it.

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

I always thought the reason they did this was because they tie a bunch of random mechanics to frame rate in soulsborne games, and increasing it beyond set limits causes unintended behavior

this was a thing before ICP even existed.

Try Gloomwood, maybe?

If you're already willing to put up with all the other bullshit Apple does, I don't see why you'd care about them doing this.

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.

The inflation we have experienced since 2020 is almost exclusively due to corporate greed.

Reminds me of that Junji Ito story about the dreamer. Don't remember what it was called off the top of my head.

This comment has similar vibes to a boomer in the 80s saying that the Internet is useless and full of nothing but nerds arguing on forums, and he doesn't see that changing.
