World News@lemmy.world•Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz closed again after US lifts blockadeEnglish
0·15 days agoNo, I’m pointing out the concept of sampling bias. There are no doubt valid criticisms of the Iranian government as there are with every government.
When I hear Iranian immigrants on cable news being like “it’s good the U.S. is bombing the homes of people I used to live with” I’m like “that’s a crazy take”.
Just cause you lived somewhere for a while doesn’t mean you know what is best for the people still living there. It may imply a certain level of knowledge. But those people can still have bad takes --just like Americans can have bad takes about America-- and those bad takes can be biased by the particular experience they have had and that’s worth considering.

0·15 days agoThat seems like a biased sample set.
You’re telling me all the people who have had problems with the government think the government is bad? I’m shocked!

Gaming@lemmy.zip•The interstellar dice-driven RPG Citizen Sleeper is free for the next week, so now you've got no excuse to not play itEnglish
0·16 days agoMy excuse is that I haven’t even finished Disco Elysium yet. Every time I try I play for 2 hours and then have an existential crisis and forget where I was in the game by the time its over.
I give Disco Elysium a 10/10.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Sick of the Susan Collin/John Fetterman Democrats who vote against their own people
0·17 days agoI debated bringing this up in my original comment, but there were rumors the reason Nancy Pelosi started pushing so hard for Biden to drop out was; she found out that the internal Democratic Party polling showed Biden losing by hundreds of electoral college votes.
Regardless, your response proves my point maybe better than any other response I’ve received here on Lemmy. As soon as any legitimate criticism pops up you throw black women under the bus rather than letting a leftist win, rather than admit a leftist has a point.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Sick of the Susan Collin/John Fetterman Democrats who vote against their own people
0·17 days agoHe is partially incorrect in his claim about the 2024 primary. We had a primary in 2024 (not a legitimate one IMHO) but the 2024 primary does demonstrate liberals preferring MAGA over leftists.
The uncommitted movement had ~25 percent of the vote in Michigan which was a swing state the Dems couldn’t beat Trump without. The Dems chose to ignore this warning and continue funding the genocide.
The liberals screaming at leftist over the last 18 months stems from leftists having solidarity with the Muslim community in Michigan when the Democratic party abandoned them for their Isreal donors.
Also even if every third party vote had gone to Kamala in every swing state she still would have lost to Trump.
The contension stems partly from liberals unwillingness to think critically about the failures of the democratic party. Preferring party loyalty and rejecting the wishes of the voters over accepting any constructive criticism from the left.
You want to respond by defending the democrats. Perhaps saying people who voted third-party actually support Trump. Any excuse you make for the democrats loss proves the exact point I’m making.
You’ll attack the left even when they’re offering constructive feedback and even when not listening to your left flank means MAGA winning. In other words, you would rather MAGA win than the left.

World News@lemmy.world•US Needs Trillions To Stay Ahead of China in AI Race — Blackrock CEO Points to Pensions and Retirement SavingsEnglish
0·1 month agoOne of the ways the Soviets lost the cold war was that the USSR was just straight up a smaller country than the US. The US just had more resources to throw at whatever dick measuring contest they decided to engage in.
With the new cold war with China that shoe is on the other foot.
I always just upgrade my PC piecemeal. The biggest component for you to upgrade first would be your GPU. Even a RTX3060 or a RX6600 would be an improvement over what you have there.
If you went with the AMD option and installed bazzite/linux that would be pretty close to the specs for the upcoming steam machine. You would probably benefit from some of the optimizations Valve will inevitably do for their hardware over the next couple years… That is if you don’t need Windows for anything.
On your CPU you have a ton of options on the AM4 platform and 16GB of ram is still very usable.
Or just see what the actual steam machine does on pricing. But I’m no longer as optimistic about that given what Valve just did with pricing on the steam deck.
All right we just need the rooster. Does even one single lemming have a single shred of swag?
Who am I kidding, I think our team is fucked.
Which member of this gang would you be?
I feel like rooster is their leader, so I probably don’t have the swag to be rooster, though I wish I could be… After careful consideration, I think I’m goat.
I don’t think I can count that high.
Also, unlikely that Biden is 0.
When I look deep into the eyes of Biden in the photo, I can feel it in my bones that this is a photo of a man who just shid his pants.
Maybe Biden wasn’t as bad of a president as Trump says he was if even he’s got one shid under his belt.

politics @lemmy.world•The Democrats Are Determined Not to Learn From Their Failure
0·1 month agoIt’s still bad that the most generous interpretation is the DNC is being fleeced by incompetent freelancers.
It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost. No mention of Biden’s age, even if to say it had no effect. No mention of Gaza, even if to say it had no effect.
If they have a better post-mordem, that does explore these topics I’d love to see it.
It makes it seem like they weren’t that serious about beating Trump if they’re still willing to hire incompetent people that avoid tough analysis.
Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are still the House and Senate leader for the dems. Jefferies is Pelosi’s handpicked successor.
What part of the leadership do you believe has changed? What are their names?
Bingo that’s the goal, poison the well. It’s much less concerning that my great president is incontinent than if they were constantly giving him dementia tests.[/s]

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats warn a third of the Congressional Black Caucus could be wiped out by redistricting wars
0·2 months agoIgnore the 4 Virginians on the Virginia Supreme Court and listen to the 3 million Virginians that voted to defensively gerrymander to start with.
It’s what republicans would do if the shoe were on the other foot.
Conservative democrats go insane when we point out that Harris probably would have won if she would say she would stop funding a genocide and then act like all democrats can do when they have power is lie in their own chalk outline.
Seems like y’all are the ones who actually want republicans to win.

According to Wikipedia Ultra HD Blu-ray’s can hold 100 GB. 2 install disks and 1 play disk doesn’t seem like it would add $50 to the cost.
