I think deepfake porn is a bad call. Not only are you using nudes w/o the people’s permission to train the a.i. but you’re generating graphic content of people who don’t want themselves exposed like that

I would like to see darknetmarkets make a comeback. There really isn’t a way to find any darknet sites without being told about it. shoplifting would be a good one too esp since that subreddit always discouraged people from stealing from small businesses/encouraged ethical stealing which I appreciate.

I also think subreddits centered around conspiracies like pizzagate should make a comeback even though that doesn’t interest me personally.

I’m flippant on cringeanarchy. Before it was taken over by trolls, racists, etc, it was actually interesting. I’d like to see something similar but I worry it invites the same fate

When there’s no war, people like Hitler won’t have any opposition to their rise to power. Haiti never gains independence. We’d never have escaped feudalism.

Most wars are stupid bullshit and suck ass. The military, especially the US military, is the biggest waste of money ever. That doesn’t mean that war isn’t directly tied to lots of positive things like innovation. There’s so much medical, industrial, and geographical knowledge we wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for some war, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. People’s ideas will always conflict because different groups of people are going to have goals unique to them that clash with others

Now if you were to ask how to stop unnecessary wars, better more efficient rulers. Most of the people in power today are complete hacks. It’s crazy

But I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of war and I don’t know if that’s necessarily that crazy? Ultimately it’s apart of how we grow as societies

I’m honestly torn. Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that. I also find it very interesting that they tore into the rough around the edges federating of mastodon without mentioning how smooth it is on lemmy, kbin, etc. Though to be honest I tried mastodon and it did feel kinda dead

My mom said they’re gonna announce paperboy 2

Damn this is really well put

me me me

The new niche community is shitting on reddit

I spent the younger half of my life with very long, thick hair (I keep it short now). There’s no avoiding that awkward phase, you just have to stick it out. Keep your scalp stimulated, make sure your hair isn’t dry or splitting, and other than that you can try tight braids? Wish this was more helpful ^^; liking your appearance is important - but your appearance is subjective. I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t worry so much about your hair looking awkward. I’ve gone bald before and then had to prompt people into noticing so

Honestly I don’t use third party apps and Lemmy is just better. Something about forums (in my experience) makes people actually try to be nice to each other. I’ve said this a few times but if/when we ever get private chats on here I don’t know why I’d even use Twitter that much
