  • YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.

  • What a bullshit dilemma.

    And you are wrong that wealth inequality causes the drop in birth rates. The birth rate was higher in the Dickensian times of Britain compared to now. If anything, it is wealth equality, universal positive rights, and women's liberation that tend to make people have fewer kids.

    A ecosocialist world is a sustainable one. An ecofascist world is just a death spiral.

  • You first, buddy.

    If not, this is just a slippery slope argument to "those other people shouldn't exist/have babies". That's just the door to eco-fascism.

  • If you listen carefully, there is something very soft about them too though. Their songs will sometimes go off into incredibly positive messages, which hit that much harder because they come from such anger. Example, in their "Hunger Games":

     raw
        
You are more than your take home pay
Making barely enough to make it through the day
I know, I know, I know
You are more than your ability to earn
You are more than your future successors
You are here, you are now
Surely, your existence is testament
To the successful lineage from which you were arrived
Here, now
You are stronger than you think you are
You are love
You are not alone
You are going through hell, but keep going
Be proud, be open
Be loud, be hopeful
Be healthy, be happy
Be kind to yourself
Be decisive
Here, now
Do not live every day as if it is your last
Live every day as if it is your first
Full of wonder and excitement
As you wonder along, excited
Marveling at the possibilities of all that stands before you
Here, now

  • To people put off by the slogan, a reminder that the IDF, being an occupying army, under international law is absolutely a legitimate target for violent armed Palestinian resistance.

    Now, I wouldn't actually wish for death to anyone, so the best thing for all involved is for the Israeli apartheid to be dismantled and the IDF to be subsumed by the armed forces of the post-apartheid democratic government of the plurinational state of Palestine and Israel. So let's all wish for a gentle passing away to the IDF instead.

  • Done, thanks!

  • Why make it complicated?

    Jump

  • Frankly, I have way more often ended up scratching my head for some cryptic piece of syntax than the opposite. Sure I could sit down and spend the rest of my life learning each language designer's favourite syntax optimisations, but I kinda don't want to. I'm a human, not a parser.

    And frankly, a good IDE editor should be able to fold/unfold verbose syntax. Better for it then to be there and folded, than for it to not be there and for someone to have to work backwards the intendrd meaning of every single line of code.

    Jump

  • I don't understand why verbose is bad. Verbose is maintainable.

  • Thank you Linux community!

  • I think that's exactly the reference here.

  • why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoption

    Jump

  • Enlightenment has been around for 28 years. This means there is enough adoption for it to keep going on.

  • Deleted

    Yes, it's Linux.

    Jump

  • Sure, but why?

  • Punch Capitalists

    Jump

  • Yea that's my point.

    Punching a capitalist was a thing when capitalists were individuals. Nowadays, with the exception of the billionnairest of billionnaires, capitalists are mostly institutions.

  • In many countries, some of the biggest capitalists are pension funds. Should I go punch myself?

  • The IHRA definition is routinely weaponized to silence and persecute pro-Palestinian voices

  • This sounds like a contrived meta objection to me. Antisemitism-as-prejudice (footnote) lives in entirely in the brain of the perpetrator. The person you know was mistaken for jewish, in the mind of the perpetrator is jewish, and is being persecuted and killed for being jewish. EDIT: for that matter, a convinced Nazi would probably argue that no mistakes were made and if someone is "jewy enough to be mistaken for jewish, then they are jewish enough to be sent to the trains". I'm going to immerse myself in betadine now for having written that phrase, yuck. Like in the perverted Nazi brain "jewishness" is a taint that must be aggressively expunged, regardless of niceties and nuances and stuff.

    (footnote: as opposed to antisemitism-as-system)

  • Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments.

  • Oh I see. Which is why the admins/mods of Feddit.org are also publicly coming out criticizing the German government for this crackdown on nuanced speech, right? Right?
