Canada’s living standards alarmingly on track to be the lowest in 40 years: study
  • I've been alive for decades and at no point in my life has a conservative politican ever done anything to actually make my life better.

    At best, they do some temporary tax cut bullshit that ends up just fucking us worse in 3-4 years time.

    Liberals aren't perfect by any stretch, by at least it seems like two steps forward one step back.

    With conservatives it's always somersaults backwards.

  • Centrists gonna centrist...
  • Liberals would rather defend genocide than join leftists in trying to force Biden's hand and gain back leftist voters.

    What an asinine statement. There are those of us who understand that Israel is a sovereign fucking Democracy and it's not our job to police them and literarily throw out everything any and everything else in this insane fight to stop Israel.

    I want the war to stop. But I also live in the real world where conflicts exist and it's not our job to fix everything and everyone. We've got plenty of shit to deal with here, and if you want to put any pressure on anything, put pressure on Israelis to handle their own government and foreign policy.

    Equating people not thinking that the Israel conflict is our #1 concern that needs to trump absolutely everything else with supporting genocide is beyond idiotic and unkind.

  • Still an Atheist
  • The point is that Thor from the movies sufficiently proves to you that he is a God. You not believing in a magical chicken is the same as you not believing in a magical Jesus.

    That is not what we're taking about. With Thor we're taking about a God, that sufficiently proves to you that he is in fact a God, so you at that point claiming to still be an atheist towards Thor wouid make you the unreasonable one.

  • Still an Atheist
  • It doesn't quite work like that.

    You are an atheists when it comes to any and all Gods that have been presented to you thus far by other humans. You simply don't believe any of their claims, because they lack evidence.

    If somone told you Thor exists you'd ask him show me the evidence, and if they literally presented Thor to you, you would no longer be an atheist towards the Thor claim.

    That is totally ok, you've been presented with evidence that Thor exists thus you believe Thor exists. It doesn't mean you will follow or worship him it just means you now are convinced he exists. You don't need to fight to keep the atheist label when it comes to Thor in this case.

    A lot of believers don't understand that if the Bible God showed up to me tomorrow and proved himself to be real, I'd no longer be an atheist towards that God claim, but I would not worship or respect him, because the God of the Bible is a massive piece of shit.

  • Dear God
  • The most hilarious one to me is African American athletes thanking God.

    Soooo, he let your ancestors get enslaved, sold, beaten, tortured, and shipped around the world by assholes... who used the Bible to defend slavery... All of this, so he could someday help you throw that pigskin for 2 touchdowns...

    God truly works in mysterious ways 😂

  • Help me understand my bottleneck

    I'm running a raspberry pi 8GB version, as my plex entertainment center. I also ruin a pihole. The pie has an Ethernet connection.

    I have two TV'S, a 2017 Samsung and a 2021 Hisense. Both with Ethernet connections.

    My Samsung tv can't stream certain shows at all, they stutter like crazy I'm guessing it has something to do with the encoders? Yesterday I got a message color range not supported whatever the hell that is.

    The Hisense TV does better on some shows, but still 4k content is unwatchable, it's constantly buffering.

    So, is the problem with the pi? Is it not powerful enough for 4k shows, or some encoding problem or something?

    Or is it the TVS, should I buy a Roku box instead, would that solve the streaming problems?

    Does lemmy have a way to show the number of downvotes / up votes?

    I'm using wefwef and I only see the total number for a post. So +15 or - 12 or whatever.

    That's how it is on reddit and I believe it's one of the main reason discussion turned so toxic. Everyone is just looking at the number and deciding if a point is valid.

    Seeing a comment with -1000/+900 is a lot different than just seeing - 100.

    I believe it fosters toxicity and stifles discussion.
