Sorry my statement wasn’t that the only villains were black people, but rather that when black people were on the show they were always villains.

But that wasn’t in the '90s. The last thing I can actually think of as an example of point-and-laugh at a race was Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961). In the '80s there was Dukes of Hazzard, but it wasn’t overtly racist, they just only had black people as bad guys in the deep South. As a kid that went right over my head.
I think most examples in the '90s would be stereotyping races but not making fun of them. Overtly. Kind of like the token Asian or the token black guy to fill out a group of friends. I guess I want more examples to be given because when you’re younger a lot of that stuff goes of your head compared to when you’re older.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How did you feel when you turned 18? Did you do anything special?
1·3 days agoAs father of an 18-year-old who is about to turn 19 and a 17-year-old she’s about to turn 18, I can’t imagine booting either of them out at this age. Could they stand on their own? Probably, but it seems inhumane and cruel.
I hope leaving was your choice and that it worked out well for you.
My wife’s 4’9" and I’m 6 ft and this is never the view I see. That Delta height is exactly the same as what the op height differences is. If I’m looking down and she’s looking up our faces are only about a foot apart. Op’s picture makes it look like it’s 2 ft or more.

1·16 days agoOlder people have a much harder time taking on and off shoes so it makes more sense that they leave them on all the time. The same is true for overweight people. (Although I would have thought the old people definition would be >60 not >40)
Why is this right wing or left wing housing?
I guess you can maybe make an argument that this is centralized planning, trying to make the best use of the land available and that right-wing would be pure chaos where the market decides what’s going on. On so you’d have sprawl next to Mansions next to slums, next to McDonald’s, and no parks, and every single tiny piece of land has a building on it, and it all must be fully utilized trying make money in some capitalism way?
Honestly, it doesn’t seem the worst way to do it from a housing density standpoint. Yes, we all want the standalone suburb house or some spot in the countryside, but that’s not the world we live in. For high density housing, this doesn’t seem that bad. Each building has a balcony and overlooks a park and has fresh air and sunshine… How do you do this better?
or is it about equality? Every unit here is equal and therefore bad? That seems a positive in my eyes. Is that really the difference here? There aren’t the ultra poor and the mega rich all mixed in together… Where the poor are in slums and the Richer mansions, is that right wing architecture?
What’s the best way to build high density housing? Tall buildings surrounded by Parks seems to be the most optimal way, right? What am I missing here? The buildings aren’t pretty enough?

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’English
51·1 month agoOn the scale of things, I think this rate’s a “who the fuck cares?”.
I don’t really care if cousins get married. I don’t really care if they have kids together. I do care if they have birth defects and we should do things medically responsible to reduce or eliminate birth defects, but the whole cousin thing doesn’t really bother me as long as there’s no external pressure (like British royalty or stereotypical Southern Hicks).
Who is really that bent out of shape on this and why should we care?

Technology@lemmy.world•HP reportedly eyes Chinese suppliers for DRAM as global shortage sparks shake-up — analyst says memory chips are commodities that can easily be replacedEnglish
3·1 month agoAnything can be backdoor… In, but I’m really struggling to see how you could do something useful with a dram chip. In theory, if it were smart enough, it could analyze the data that’s being stored and manipulated in some way, but there’s no way a dram module would have the processing power and brains to do anything useful with this.
And memory manipulation would be about the most it could accomplish because the dram modules themselves don’t have signal lines that can control anything. They basically have data alliance address lines, return lines, power ground and control circuitry. They can’t affect the rest of the motherboard/ computer other than subverting data… And computers tend to be pretty good at catching memory that doesn’t store data properly.
If you tried hard enough, you could figure out a scenario where this could work, but I don’t think this is something we really need to worry about.
Let’s be realistic here, every time someone tells you so and so is their girlfriend or boyfriend or husband and wife. That means they’re getting it on. That means everything in this cartoon except maybe they use protection.
This is the stupidest load of bullshit meme around. If people tell you they’re trying to get pregnant, that’s letting you in on their life planning, not letting you in their sex life. They have a sex life, and whether or not they’re planning on getting pregnant, they’re still having sex. Grow up and get over it.

So I tried to think of the top three things that I really enjoy with nuts in them:
- Ice cream with hardening chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top (sooo good)
- Almond Roca (toffee plus chocolate plus nuts)
- Whitefish with almonds on top. (I know I’m not describing this very well, but I’ve had several fish with nuts on top that have been truly outstanding.)

News@lemmy.world•Google CEO Says We're All Going to Have to Suffer Through It as AI Puts Society Through the Woodchipper
41·2 months agoI’m going to go against the grain here and agree with him. If you look at it as this being a new technology, like robotics or computers, then they will cause disruption in the workforce as people who used to do the tasks are replaced with a technology solution in it’s place. That’s how the tech CEOs are looking at this, as a disruptive technology that will either replace people in the workforce (tech support being replaced by AI) or make people more efficient (one programmer instead of a team).
I honestly don’t think he’s wrong. But just like the two technologies I mentioned above, there will be a limit to what AI can do and it will find it’s disruptive nitch and then no longer be cost effective. Back in the 50’s or in the 80’s computers and robotics were going to drive us all out of work… but lo and behold, we all still have jobs.
The real issue isn’t AI, but how this will allow the few to capture even more wealth. AI is just a technology step, the ultra wealthy are a crime.




Okay so I don’t have a clue what any of you guys are talking about… I have no idea who the Lindsay person is either… Can someone fill in the blanks for the those of us who are out of the loop?
