No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•To quote a movie: Why is it when a person in the military dies we feel some sympathy for, but if someone killed a mayor or senator everyone loses their minds?English
2·2 days agoThe quote comes from the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises, which would have been said during GWOT. The odds of death were lower during those wars/occupations than previous, but the odds were still higher than the civilian population.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What was the internet like before Y2K happened ?English
18·3 days agoThe Internet was a place.
Compared to now, you had to go somewhere physical to be on the Internet. That changed the relationship that people had with the Internet, you went there to do something rather than have it entertain you when bored. It also meant you weren’t always available to being messaged.
There were also a lot less videos online due to bandwidth. Animation was a far bigger deal since the bandwidth needed to show an animation was significantly less than the bandwidth needed to show even SD video.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•LA is proposing a subway system for Dodger Stadium. This will allow people to commute from the stadium parking area to the stadiumEnglish
3·3 days agoEh, I agree with nandert that an underground light metro would be more useful, in part because you can use it to extend transit north of Dodgers Stadium to create a better used system overall.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Redditors discussing "Is the threat of inbreeding exaggerated?" is it true?English
4·3 days agoIf you have two siblings from a set of well mixed parents, the odds are likely lower because it is likely that only one parent had the gene at issue.
However, the taboo of marrying siblings and first cousins are usually cultural, which means the likelihood of both parents having the same gene which will cause a genetic issue. So, if you have a human population with a smaller overall gene pool and/or families where intermarriage within a family is high, the odds of genetic disease from familial interbreeding spikes.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Redditors discussing "Is the threat of inbreeding exaggerated?" is it true?English
2·3 days agoNot necessarily. If the problem is on a recessive gene or it isn’t a problem with only one out of two genes expressing the trait, the genetic disease won’t get bred out of the family.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•To quote a movie: Why is it when a person in the military dies we feel some sympathy for, but if someone killed a mayor or senator everyone loses their minds?English
6·3 days agoIt is generally part of the job description. A soldier in a war has a high probability in dying. A soldier’s death is a typical cost to war. A politician, in contrast, doesn’t have death as a potential risk to their profession. If anything, the death of a politician is generally a sign of the state being actively harmed.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is social interaction actually enjoyable or just socially required?English
7·9 days agoSome forms of social interaction are fun for me, others aren’t. I usually do better in smaller groups.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come on The Price is Right you can't bid in change like 999.99 or for the jackoffs 1000.01? Or can you but has never been attempted?English

Don’t. Take a break. Touch grass.
I’m just saying, I don’t know if I’ve seen the prompt before until I see it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any cities in the Phoenix area in Arizona that are a lot like Kentucky cities like Richmond or Versailles?English
2·12 days agoYou’re not going to find too many horse farms in the Phoenix area. Most animal based farms in the area are for cattle.
And as for a combination of rural and suburban, the divide is a lot firmer in Arizona since farmland tends to get developed in large chunks as suburban communities. The farms don’t have any relationship with the suburbs except as a place to drive through until the land gets developed.
And it is not going to be close to downtown Phoenix. Unlike Lexington, there was never a growth boundary chosen for the Phoenix area. Development has sprawled pretty far, only really limited by mountain parks and Indian reservations.
