I guess for most people it would be. Certainly I’d be like “sorry dad but I can buy a house an have my future be much more secure” if my kid did the same I’d like to think I’d understand as well…but this is for normal people. To these very well known and well off comedians is 375k that much? It’s like the equivalent of me getting like 5k which I’m not sure I would betray my morals for. Having said that nobody’s offering me 5k to!

Saff@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•US comedians defend decision to play in Saudi Arabia: ‘They’re paying me enough to look the other way’English962·6 months ago
Seconded. It’s much more powerful than what I use it for, but it works a treat. We just have a VM for it running and every few months or so renew the image we use. Really this was the solution to waiting for windows updates lol. The USB part wasn’t so bad, but having to update through windows update from scratch every time took ages…

Saff@lemmy.mlto Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•We never would've had the problem of kids seeing things they shouldn't online, or at the very least, it would be much less of a problem, if it wasn't for capitalism screwing up the Internet.English29·8 months agoI dunno, newgrounds had porn and flash games lol. Ebaums world as well. I agree that capitalism has ruined the internet to an extent but not sure you can blame it for kids seeing porn. Hell i remember friends showing me meatspin and lemon party. They weren’t exactly ran for profit these sites!
Saff@lemmy.mlto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Elon Musk travels with as many as 20 bodyguardsEnglish10·8 months agoI wonder how many body guards you have to hire until you start to think “hmm maybe if this many people wish me harm I must actually be being a dick, let’s change that!”
Saff@lemmy.mlto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology4·8 months agoUntil it becomes an arms race, blades will be made of lightweight metals that are super thin to save weight and therefore sharp, and motors be built with more torque.
Yeah I went 3 months without having a single face to face conversation with someone, it was pretty shit even with online gaming and discord.
Saff@lemmy.mlto science@lemmy.world•Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should careEnglish41·10 months agoI feel like that’s more a problem of whatever specific gyms you are going to. Ones I go to have usually have signs up saying no cameras allowing people to just focus on their own workout. Regardless, the point is that if you want to help people overcome their “the world is against me, no woman wants me” mind set of an incel, there should be more spaces that let people interact with others outside of online algorithm controlled or bot account flooded social media platforms. Places to meet and converse with real people of any gender. All of a sudden they will probably realise that most people are actually nice. Most people don’t generally go around trying to make people feel shit or uncomfortable.
Saff@lemmy.mlto science@lemmy.world•Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should careEnglish273·10 months agoThese third spaces don’t have to be exclusively young men lol. In fact it might be better if they aren’t given the specific topic of people we are talking about in this thread. In general an increase in community locations is a good thing, but it seemed especially so for people in the intel rabbit hole. Somewhere casual they can come out of their shells and meet people in the real world!
Saff@lemmy.mlto science@lemmy.world•Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should careEnglish732·10 months agoYeah and the reason young men are finding it hard to have real life friends and end up on uncle forums is because we lost most of our “third spaces” thanks to them not making money and shutting down or being underfunded or closed if they were publicly owned.
Ontop of this the constant algorithms that push specific topics to people over and over due to it keeping them on the platform and therefore generates income.
It does feel like 75% of this problem could be fixed by stopping corporate greed and fixing our local communities as whole.
Saff@lemmy.mlto Formuladank – The No.1 source for motorsports news since 1837@lemmy.world•Monaco4·11 months agoAgreed, meant they were backing people up for double the time… However George’s move made me realise perhaps we just need a shortcut, like a joker lap from rally cross but it’s actually quicker not longer, and they are limited to use it once a each only or something.
They only made 25 billion this quarter you see. Those 6000 people’s lives being uprooted so they can make 25.2 billion will be well sacrificed!

Saff@lemmy.mlto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Game price isn't the problem, wages areEnglish631·1 year agoAre the game developers and artists wages now being increased by the same percentage though? You are correct overall, especially in places like the UK where wages have been stagnant since like 2008 it feels like. But letting a company off the hook for raises “due to inflation” if they themselves are not raising their workers salaries to meet that inflation is bullshit.
Saff@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Burner phones only for EU staff on US trips, Commission says141·1 year agoInteresting approach from an institute that banned having anonymous SIM cards!
Saff@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Bernstein Posits That A 10 Percent Baseline US Tariff On Raw Semiconductors Is "Not Going To Do All That Much," But PCs, Servers, And Smartphones Are About To Get Pricier By ~40 PercentEnglish13·1 year agoGuys, as a European, does this only affects servers and hardware built in the US right? Isn’t most of it built in china and owned by US companies? So it’s literally only the US this will affect?
Saff@lemmy.mlto BuyFromEU@europe.pub•Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans can make a massive impact to America's tourism industry if we all collectively decide to stop visitingEnglish3·1 year agoAlready decided not to! There would have been 3-4 of us spending 2 weeks and a combined 10-12k euro in total probably (although flights would have been a European airline)…I have no intention of spending my summer holiday in an ICE detention camp!
Been using EZmeal for a while. It’s not super feature rich but is good enough!
Saff@lemmy.mlto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Tesla is done in Germany: 94% say they won't buy a Tesla car11·1 year agoAnd also how many of these people were actually shopping for a new car? Most people I know all buy used cars anyway.
Interesting…considering the interfering from the Russians propaganda machine in other foreign elections this surprises me. If I were him I’d be concerned about that referendum being passed through even if it’s really harmful to Ukraine.
