Imagine murdering a bunch of space travelers and they all come back while you're still looting the bodies.

I used Ember....

trust me, do not use that one

He couldn't figure it out, a competent person could have without unplugging it.

That reminds of the cout case where Dee Snider basically said if your wife is interpreting our music as "dirty", that's a problem with your wife not the music.

without realizing access was only granted through a temporary license.

That phrasing has me concerend. Does this also cover the services being shut down?

"This is a permanent licence until we go bankrupt and you can't access the content anymore"

Purchase/buy should mean you get a downloadable DRM free file. And thing else is a rental.

You make a fair point, but there's still sometime to be said about fancy parts that are a part of the house.

Instead of covering up the house with personality, I want the house itself to have personality.

(Of course, there'll be some empty walls for whatever, gotta leave enough space for the family photos, but conveniently nowhere to hang that ulgy 5ft painting your great-aunt-in-law insited you take (she'll admit, but she didn't want it either))

Hmm, that's a hard bargain.

Are the mystery stains in funny shapes or are they just blobs?

CEOs are fine, you need someone to steer the ship.

However don't pay them a bazzilion bucks while eveyone else gets pennies.

untrue

You took this out of context and have yet to provide a single example. I said by law we all have equal rights and opportunities. In reality, that is obviously not the case, but not do to laws.

There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people.

Where the fuck is my extra help? The well off created the systems to keep them well off, and the rest of us get to stay poor. Unless you can change that, we're all fucked.

There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn't have made it purely on merit than any other race.

I'd like to compare that to the number of rejected black students as well. Looking at Harvard's site, the number of black students accepted to Harvard is sigifinatly less than white students. Partially due to the fact theres a significantly higher white population in the nation, unless that difference goes away, statiscally we will never see an equal amount of white people and black people in the same "space". I wasn't able to find the diversity statitics for applications, I'd love to see how that compares to the admitted students. I won't fault Harvard if more whites get in because that how numbers work. To be clear, that's from a purly statistical point of view. If anyone gets accepted/rejected specficaly because of their skin color, that's is a problem.

You actually largely can't you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass. / 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn't require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.

We all bust our asses and people still can't go to collage without loans or buy a house, that's not a race specific issue.

You are basically a KKK member without a hood.

Why would you make light of the atrocities made by the KKK? The KKK were murdering blacks out of pure hatred. Not once in any of my comments did I suggest any kind of violence. If your arguments reduce into insane accusations, how am I supposed to take anything you say seriously?

I'd love a modern house, with the detailed craftsmanship of old. Who wants a bland white wall? Give me some fancy wood details and comfy furniture with a bit of character.

I apologize, that question was certainly poorly thought out and too aggressive. I'm purposely challenging our differences, and I did push too far with that one, being that the answer is obvious. We're definitely going too far into this on a skyrim shitpost meme (suprised the thread hasn't been nuked yet), but I shall continue the discourse.


My point is that legally speaking, whites and blacks have equal rights and the same opportunities available. In fact, we're creating all kinds of aid systems specifically to help them. So what I'm trying to pry at, is to find what in the current system is failing them.

Another point I've been pressing, is that skin color alone should not be the basis for aid. If some one needs help, help them. No need to ask about race, sex, ancenstory, religion, hair color, etc. - just help them.

Yes our nation's ancestors have treated blacks beyond horribly, the more recent ones have begun to right that. Unfortuanly it is an extremely slow process to beat the predjuduce out of a few hundred million people. Considering the progress over the last 200 years, massive improvements have been made, with alot of it made in the past 60. It now up to us, the current generation to continue the progress foward. However, many black families are still stuck where they were in the 1970s. Clearly the current systems are not helping, despite all the aid given to them.

It is my opion, they are being helped in a way that doesn't encourage actaully finical independance. This could be part of why they're still lagging so far behind some other miniorties, such as Asians. I went into it a few comments ago, but its basically "why work harder for less, when I can live off government aid." Asian/Ellis Island era European immigrants didn't have the same aid, and 80 years later Asians are among the most successful groups, or at least average.

To me it's like we're saying "here have just enough money so you'll shut up and stay where you are. If you save up good, maybe your grandkids can go to collage - which is what we are seeing now. (By the way don't get sick or your whole savings will disappear)."

If our government really wanted to help, they'd fund the schools, clear out the gangs, help people fix up their homes so maybe they sell for good price, tear down all the condemed buildings to build better community housing or something for jobs. And lastly, to bring us back my original scolorship comment, fix the fucked up student loan system that fucks over all american equally.

 

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks fujiwood@lemmy.world


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

 

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world
 

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
