Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why doesn't the United States have universal healthcare by now? (Serious)
25·6 days agoThis isn’t any exaggeration: it has been demonstrated using statistical analysis
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
One square is the optimal waffle if you’re optimizing for syrup volume alone.

11·7 days agoNah, this is wrong. Cassettes don’t sound like dogshit and most vintage decks sound great when properly calibrated.
Modern $20 Chinese portables sound like ass, I’ll give you that.
Thanks, the trees were in bloom at the local park.

101·10 days agoIncorrect. I have three NAD 6300s and a Nakamichi Dragon, and with metal tapes it’s transparent to digital. Shit even good type II nearly transparent. Tapes do not sound “dogshit”. Unlike vinyl, you can easily experiment with the many varieties of tape out there and master your own cassette recordings. It’s like rolling tubes in an analog amplifier. Yes, it’s not perfectly transparent to digital on a cheap type I tape, but the warmth of a high end type I rounds off some of the harshness of modern tracks. YMMV, it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s pretty fucking cool.

4·10 days agoCassettes are making a comeback much like vinyl but to a lesser extent. I’ve got 600 or so cassettes and probably 3/4 of them were made in the past 8 years.
Really? I thought it was what was filmed. Not to be that guy but… source?
Elaborate on “fake.” It’s the same studio who made both, MFX. This is super easy to verify online.
swap.avi - when you realize 2girls1cup is just a trailer for a full length video from the same studio
Don’t forget HAI2U, or Mr Hands. Cakefarts isn’t exactly shocking in comparison to these heavy hitters but is definitely one of the classics.
Shock site pranks via disguised links was the best possible anti-phishing training one could receive as a teenager. Bring that shit back.
It’s still the top ranking shock site to me, never been eclipsed.
You really should look it up, because of the OG shock sites, cakefarts is the least disgusting and most funny. A bonafide internet classic.

11·17 days agoTriatoma infestans is the primary vector for Chagas’ disease, but it can be transmitted by other triatomines. Fun fact, they shit on your face and the infection comes from you rubbing their infected shit into the fresh open wound. It’s not from the bite itself. Thanks to climate change they’re migrating northward. Sleep tight!

1·18 days agoI mean, it doesn’t really follow given the context. Nobody is talking about the visual sense, they’re talking about humanizing AI through using certain words, which isn’t paredolia.

2·19 days agoParedolia just means seeing patterns that aren’t there, it’s not implicitly human. If you see a dog in the clouds, that’s paredolia.
