  • Jellyfin.

    That is all.

  • YOU might think they are well defined terms, but there are people claiming with a straight face that "race X can't be racist, because racism needs power structures" or all this other exceptionalism. They use every definition but the one in the dictionary.

  • “white men can’t experience racism and sexism”

    A big problem here is that not everyone has a common definition for racism and sexism. Some definitions take existing power structures and historical context, and others don't. A discussion about this topic should be started with what specifically each participant believes these terms mean. Otherwise you have two people talking about "sexism" but they are just talking past each other because they lack a shared understanding of the term as it is used.

  • If you were to say "black people are bad" then the rebuttal typically becomes "due to established power structures, white men can't be oppressed, therefore I can say what I want about them".

    I think it's hard to have a reasoned discussion where you say "all men do X" because for every X, there's probably a bunch of exceptions. There is a great amount of variance in male behavior.

  • It's original sin, just by gender. I think people underestimate the harm in painting all men with the same brush. Once the conversation morphs from "I hate this thing some males do" and changes into "I HATE MEN" you can't have a productive conversation.

    Is the whole DC "cleanup" pointless?

  • That's the neat thing, you don't.

  • It's still out there and going amazing!!! Despite the lack of mainstream media coverage, blockchain and smart contacts couldn't be doing better.

    On an unrelated topic, does anyone want to buy some NFTs? I can give you a really good deal. No take-backs, though.

  • hispanics

    Uh oh! Don't tell the reds that.

  • Per capita is always the way to go, otherwise the only cities considered free of crime would be the nearly deserted ones in the Midwest with 100-500 people.

  • I clicked through and had to go to a second linked article(!) for the top 5. The #1 is "Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas", which is pretty much a blue city now.

    This doesn't really support your claim that "they are all red". Also, we call a "blueish spot surrounded by red" a blue city.

    From what I am learning about in this thread is there isn't really the idea of a "red city", so when people talk shit about "blue cities" they are just talking about city life in general. There does not appear to be any very large cities filled with Republicans.

  • So next time someone trots out the "life in blue cities is hell...." sounds like I can just bring up Miami

  • Miami has its share of violent crime, doesn't it?

  • It seems like a lot of the time they are like "boy, crime is higher".... but if you live in a city that's just a fact of life. It's pretty obvious that there will be less crime out in the sticks. I wouldn't really attribute this to any "blue" policies.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Where are all the successful "red cities"?

  • Why main? m is much clearer

  • I don’t care which one you use, just don’t change it once it’s established. So many legacy Yocto projects got broken cause open source libraries changed their branch names.

    This was one of the arguments when the renaming was first proposed. "Just rename it, it won't break anything! It's only racists that want to keep the name!"

    Sure, except for all the CI/CD scripts, release scripts, etc that all have "master" there and are now broken.

    I know of a company that their entire CI pipeline was broken overnight because some "helpful" person renamed the branch to master but didn't bother checking out their pipelines...

  • There are very, very few. I cited some cannabis policy above.

  • I don't see this happening, but let's say he reverses course and renounces all his past decisions, steps down and the USA enters a new golden age. Should we be totally against that too? For any given position, I try to keep in mind what would have to happen to make me reverse that decision. If the answer is "nothing", then I may be missing something, or maybe I am letting my personal prejudices get in the way of what could be a good outcome.

    It's often confusing when someone we really dislike does something we agree with, but it is a thing that can and will happen from time to time.

    I look at this similarly to how I view my atheism. If a God were to appear and demonstrate all kinds of supernatural activity and capability, I think I'd have to renounce my atheism. I don't think that's likely to happen, but if it did, I do have a condition where I would reverse my belief.

    Same thing with being anti-Trump. I am for now, but there are certain unlikely conditions that would make me reconsider that, should they occur.

  • LOL! The guy said the trade deal that was made between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (USMCA) was done by an idiot and had to be re-done.

    That was HIS DEAL! HE WROTE IT!!!

    Well, he's not wrong...

    Every time someone says "just relax," I think about how relaxing is both a state of being and a verb in motion, which makes it paradoxically stressful.
