  1. that's not 900 shows

  2. your list includes things like;

Calvin and Hobbes: While Calvin's dad isn't exactly foolish (he's a patent attorney) and just as irritated by Calvin's antics as Calvin's mom, there's also plenty of strips showing him trolling Calvin by telling him outrageous lies about how the world works (such as the world being black and white until the '60s, or wind being caused by trees sneezing, or Calvin not being brought by a stork but a pterodactyl, etc.).

Which is notably not what you were complaining about.

  1. there's a difference between it existing in some shows throughout the history of mankind and it being the overwhelming majority of television like you implied. Every show I listed was popular and well recieved. Your list includes Fan Fiction which isn't even television.

The average user does not need the same level of device security and lock down as a CEO of an independent opposition-aligned media outlet. It's absurd that you seem to be arguing otherwise.

Perhaps a CEO of an independent opposition-aligned media outlet should be using more strict security measures far above what is necessary or even accessible to an average phone user.

"statistically doesn't happen" is not equivalent to "has never happened". It means the number of times it has happened is such a statistically insignificant % of the user base that it does not pass the smell test for being the reason to inconvenience every user.

Name me a single TV show where the man isn’t a moron, and where the woman is not the only functional adult in the relationship, and I could likely show you 100 shows where the man is portrayed as a moron and where the woman is the only functional adult.

The Good Place
Babylon 5
Star Trek (OS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT)
Stranger Things
Firefly
Sevrence
The Black List
Breaking Bad
Gravity Falls...

You owe me 900 shows.

Why assume anyone who disagrees with you is only doing so because of a character flaw?

When did I say anyone who disagrees with me has a character flaw? It has just been my experience that whenever someone complains that they are being discriminated against for being a white male, as soon as anyone looks into it turns out they got in trouble / got yelled at because of some action they had taken. As OP said: happens all the time.

Also note that saying "maybe that person was upset because of an action you had taken instead of the colour and shape of your genitals" is not a personal attack. I am neither condoning the yelling nor condemning some unknown action. I am presenting an alternative view to the scenario that has been presented with very little information.

What point did I miss? I'm not going to play "guess the point", if there's a different point you're trying to make you need to state it.

All you care about is your agenda

What agenda is that?

You're making vague statements implying an argument but won't state what your argument is. This leads me to believe your argument is so fragile it wouldn't stand up to the scrutiny of being read.

you will ignore all testimony to the contrary

Some rando on social media isn't testimony. People lie on social media all the time. I asked for specific evidence and this is the response I get.

Other people not knowing how to secure their devices is not an excuse for my device that I own to block me from using it the way I want to.

What % of users side load apps vs what % of users had someone else install a bug on their phone?

It's a situation that statistically doesn't happen, and now every legitimate user is being inconvenienced to stop it? This if like agree verification laws being sold as "protecting children" as an excuse to spy on and control people.

So now white men are being beaten to death for being white males?

All those videos and court cases are clearly all lies and misinformation.

Fantastic point: where are the video and court cases about white men being attacked?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Glad you didn't have that experience? But plenty of men do.

As a white male I also have never had that experience. Not have any of my other white male friends.

For something apparently so common it's bizarre I've never seen it heard of a real case of it. Maybe there's a different reason that people were yelling at you?

Even people who have been deaf since birth can learn to speak by reading lips.

 

I haven't played a Metroidvania in a while and I'm looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:

Ender's: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)

Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)

Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)

Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.

 

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

 

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
