Why don't movie ratings just have letters indicating objectionable material?

LVNSD would be much more informative than “Rated R,” or, "PG-13."

• L - Language
• V - Violence
• N - Nudity
• S - Sex
• D - Drug use
• B - Blasphemy

Let’s include recommended age at the end, so theaters can know whom to exclude (legal reasons):

Family Guy LVNDB-18

Dexter’s Lab V-8

Looney Toons VD-8

Telly Tubbies 0

What are you supposed to say to someone who believes climate change is real but won't accept that human activity contributes to it?

Question for Marvel nerds: Am I overpowered?

I’m able to turn into metal, specifically adamantium. My skin can fully turn into metal, and I can turn my hands and the rest of my limbs into adamantium weapons and tools. But those are my main powers. I’m also bulletproof and durable. I have super strength, and my max limit is 700 tons, though I can fly up to Mach 195. I also have super speed when running, and my top speed is Mach 195.

Am I overpowered?

What is your greatest achievement?

I was always jealous of artists that drew really well. I do many things: write stories, compose music, do math etc. etc. But I could never draw the way I wanted. Probably due to lack of practice as I would always be occupied. But there is always this desire to be able to draw well in the back of my mind.

A few months ago I sat down with a notebook and paper and began drawing. After 3 or 4 hours of trying I finally managed to draw a woman’s face JUST the way I wanted it to be. Like, straight out of my mind.

I get a lot of compliments. I am regarded as one of the smartest in the family and people regularly comment on my skillset. I do not enjoy getting compliments. They are background noise. Since I am used to getting compliments and the knowledge I have has been gained from reading and doing stuff for fun, I never ever really felt that “achievement” feeling. Like, shit just happened man I didn’t really work for it. Well I DID but guess not enough to register as something worthwhile I suppose.

So being able to draw a face was the first feeling of achieving something in my life. And my greatest so far. Will probably remain that way for a long time.

What would 4,000,000,000 graves look like?

People are saying that an ideal population size for the human race would be 4 billion people (around that of 50 years ago). And then using that as a means to promote conspiracies of population thinning.

Where are all the bodies going?

What is Lemmy's perception of the military?

I feel as if Lemmings can be very politically polarizing. Definitely less so now than a few years ago, but I still see it from time to time. How does that effect the macro-community’s general perception of the military? I looked and only found one community on any instance, and it was fairly small and inactive.

Can non AI users remain competitive?

I’m working on the front end of a transcription app. It’s a lot of moving buttons and labels around to get them where I want, but there’s no way I would ever be able to do it with a keyboard as fast as using an llm. Are we putting ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to big tech et. al. by being anti ai purists?

What's the top thing you'd want to experience again for the first time?

Is US defaultism real or a farce?

I’ve seen posts online or memes about it, mainly discussing American people who think the internet as a whole is US-centric despite the topic at hand taking place in another country (nothing to do with America), for example: someone wrote the date format as 30/10/2020 (using the EU format) but some American was like “THE CORRECT WAY IS 10/30/2020” when they fail to realize that user is not American at all.

Is US defaultism real when they travel abroad? They assume the $ is legal tender worldwide in countries where their own currency is used more (the only thing that’ll work is exchanging it but not for direct transactions). I’ve heard an American woman went on a tirade whilst in France as the cashier refused a $20 bill when the prices are in EUROS (WTF?) or being like “SPEAK ENGLISH!” in non-English speaking countries.

Do you guys know when are we getting image carousel on Lemmy? I have been using this site for years now and they don't seem to never arrive.

Why do older generations pee all over the toilet seat?

Ok so this is a bit odd but hear me out. Whenever I have older family members or neighbors over my house, I always find pee on the toilet seat, floor, and wall next to my toilet. It happens without fail, and it’s always boomers.

When I have friends over (Millenial age) this is never a problem. The bathroom is always much cleaner and the guys are always fine, even after a few drinks.

But boomer guys? Straight blasting bootstrap piss. It’s crazy.

Anyone else notice this?

Why is being a nice and good person less rewarding?

• tried to stay positive, then misfortune strikes
• tried making friends, ended up ghosted
• tried looking for better job, then scammed
• tried save money, inflation happens
• tried sell product online, fees and tax cut, also less buyers.
• tried theraphy, the solution only dont think about it, its okay (if only it was that easy)
• tried being nice, taken advantage of
• tried being honest, get hatred
• tried religion, yet god let million of nice person suffers
• tried sleep, need regular medication
• tried work hard, ended up surgery and years of rehabilitation

at this point, i am so tired with whatever i do, it always doesnt work.

right now i can relate why some people choose to become evil person, because being good and nice person in this world is just not as rewarding as bad people does. even those people who ghosted and bullied me ended up becoming rich and succesful, and here i am struggle everyday. life is really unfair world.

Why do so many defend capitalism?

How many friends do you have ?

I have 1. 🥲

Does speaking a second language make you feel emotionally detached?

For example you might use swear words casually or come off as insensitive without even realizing it. Your intention might be to give an empathetic or thoughtful response, but instead, you just sound cold

Have you ever experienced this?

How come Ansar Allah seems to be winning so well?

Okay, so Ansar Allah…

• is fighting a civil war
• is fighting a war against Saudi Arabia
• is surrounded by either their enemies or the sea
• is poorer than Iran or Russia
• has less people than Iran or Russia

Yet they seem to be doing a better job?
What’s going on?

Instead of tolerating gun control, why not arm and organize labor-union militias?

Gays, how do you feel about straight girls in gay bars when it's a live DJ night?

Instead of guns, why not regulate ammo?

So yeah you can fire a bullet so many different ways, a rusty nail and hammer will do the trick. Isn’t the real problem the frickin bullet?

I swear in Sweden or something, you can take a gun home but ammo is only sold and consumed at the range and not for taking home.

Sure, you can make this a hollistic approach regulating guns and ammo, but the ammo seems to be the bigger issue here. You can make guns easy peasy, but ammo is much harder to manufacture and easier to regulate.

What’s so bad about proton, and is there alternatives to all of their services?

cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/72951845

I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?
