roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•'Antagonized for being Hispanic': Growing claims of racial profiling in LA raids6·4 days agoBecause the pussies are just going after regular people. If they actually went into rough neighborhoods and started rounding up gang members, like they claimed they were going to, you might see some gunfire. But that’ll never happen because they’re weak and cowardly.

roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•US to dump billions of flies over Mexico in $30m fight against flesh-eating maggots211·5 days agoYou joke, but there was some dude in Florida (I think) who was contracted to do this with fruit flies and he started dropping healthy ones to make sure the program never ended.
Source; I can’t be bothered to look it up, trust me bro.

roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•CCTV shows take-off and crash of Air India plane in AhmedabadEnglish3·25 days agoIt’s always hard to judge AoA unless you’re looking side-on with a horizon for reference, but excessive nose-up attitude caused by cargo incorrectly loaded or not secured properly so it shifted aft during rotation could have caused an aerodynamic stall.

She couldn’t get enough of the DKP minus video from around the same time, although I did have to explain DKP because none of my groups used it.

roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it fetishization for someone to find X ethnicity more attractive than every other ethnicity?1·2 months agoI don’t know if I’d be so quick to jump to racism for that. I think most people see an attractive person and think “damn, they’re hot”. If after a while they find themselves thinking this about a particular group more than others they’ll start thinking they have a thing for that group.
I think it’s creepy when people get super specific about the range of skin tone, nose, eye shape, hair texture, etc. that they like. When someone has a detailed list like that I find it objectifying, like they’re selecting options on a car (or sex doll).
Maybe the person in your example does have a thing for Namibian women. But unless they asked invasive questions about every striking woman they encounter I don’t think they’d ever realize it unless they’re from the region.
Add to that the specific example of someone from the U.S. where ancestry can be mixed and uncertain. The person from your example might think they’ve died and gone to heaven if they ever visit Namibia but walking around an American city I think they can forgiven for just thinking they like black women.
roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it fetishization for someone to find X ethnicity more attractive than every other ethnicity?28·2 months agoMy understanding of fetishizing is that it has little to nothing to do with physical characteristics, but is instead determined by stereotyping.
Saying you have a preference, even a strong preference, for physical traits that are more often, or even exclusively, found in a certain group is simply what you’re attracted to. Saying you prefer partners from “X” group because (insert list of stereotypes) is fetishizing.
For one example, consider the language that incels and people looking for “trad” partners use. They talk about preferring certain ethnic groups because they think all women from those groups are submissive, more feminine, adhere to traditional gender roles, etc., that’s fetishizing.

It’s at least a silver lining I can console myself with while everything crumbles around me.
roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The different ways a tire can be unaligned5·4 months agoIn addition to what others have said, it also affects camber in turns. Positive caster when turning gives the outside wheel negative camber and the inside wheel positive camber to keep a larger patch of contact when turning at high speed.

It includes an update with a link to a response (on Twitter, sorry) from the owner and the marshal’s response to it.

Absolutely. I’m not advocating keeping the current dipshits that cancel shows that would have been kept around as “prestige shows” a couple decades ago. I just don’t want to see it get even worse by going harder on numbers alone.
I disagree.
Fuck this data driven bullshit. We need to return to a time where executives with a vision are empowered. We need to have decisions made by the kind of people who say things like “I know only 10% of people watch Mindhunters but that’s the kind of show that brings people to our service”.
If things stay the way they are get used to watching 7-8 seasons of mediocre lowest common denominator bullshit and having your favorite shows cancelled after one or two seasons.

Yeah, it’s so hilarious to want an engine that will continue to run after a complete electrical system failure at 10000ft.
Fuck 100LL though.
