For half a second there, I was like “yeah, so glad Lemmy is more rational than that site”.

Few comments later, folks be talking about “Ukranian Nazis”…

I wouldn’t call Kamala a radical, but I guess I could see why you think that.

Somehow I think everyone missed your joke…

Comparison mostly. HD and 3D isn’t impressing you by virtue of it being superior to real life (it isn’t after all), it’s impressing you compared to other examples of the same thing done “worse”. The best portrait artist in the world can not make something look more “real” than the reference material, but it can compared to other attempts at painting.

This is true in other natural things as well. For example, a really big tree surrounded by smaller similar sized trees feels “really impressive” compared to a mountain surrounded by other… similar sized mountains. Or why a particularly colorful plant seems impressive surrounded by a bunch of green and brown plants.

On the other hand, things like OLED screens can be impressive compared to the natural world due to their ability to arrange and display colors rarely found in nature.

I don’t see anything that they said about TikTok or ByteDance

Smfh, so then you didn’t read what they said, since they specifically said:

I acknowledge that TikTok is a problem.

And given that Whataboutism is a tactic to discredit the severity of an accusation by pointing to similar or worse behaviors by others, this not only isn’t “textbook Whataboutism”, it’s not Whataboutism at all. Their point was that the scope of the issue exceeds TikTok, and as such, attempts to solve the issue by focusing on TikTok are either misguided or of suspect intent.

In no way did they try to make the point that what TikTok does is okay, nor did they claim that TikTok wasn’t censoring content. I’d accuse you of trying to strawman their argument, but you just flat made up a different argument and pretended that was theirs instead.

They are saying the forest is on fire, and you are accusing them of Whataboutism because they aren’t focusing on your favorite tree.

Fuck dude… Really??? Did you even read what they said?

Well… Not to restate the obvious, but I hoped you had discovered a viable anti genocide third party that could overcome the duopoly.

Sadly, “voters give votes” isn’t a strategy to actually break the duopoly in America… Looks like I got my hopes up for nothing…

Oh fantastic! So they are capable of getting enough votes to overcome the two party duopoly created by our first past the post voting system? Wow, that’s amazing! Why have I never heard of them?!

viable /vī′ə-bəl/

adjective

Capable of success or continuing effectiveness; practicable:

synonym: possible.

A viable one?

… Damn, good point…

Just because you’re bad with money does not mean you can afford an Apple product.

What about my friend No-Arms Norman? All he can do is kick a Nazi in the ass!

I can’t get Spiderman 2 or Ghost of Tsushima to run on Windows. What am I doing wrong?

He’s quoting Diogenes, and while it doesn’t fit perfectly, it was the first quote I thought of too.

About the same as Spiderman 2 or Ghost of Tsushima on Windows.

Damn man, I know rootkits and your comment is a rootkit!

What if I told you to shut the fu… oh… Oh… okay…yeah, that wasn’t constructive…

Okay, I see your point.

TIL not supporting businesses you don’t agree with = being on copium.

Guess I better go buy Nestle products again.
