Good to know the VA isn’t a dickhead chud here. I’m not aware of him beyond this, but that’s at least a small win in my book.

While I can’t read the language, the website is done very well. Loads quickly, simple but not flashy. I’m always amazed what happens when governments just use technology for the benefit of the public.
Australia has a open source public transit tracker system, where on mobile and desktop, you can see near real-time positions of buses, trains, boats, and estimated percentages of how packed it is, and how late it is. All for free.
- Comment on Blizzard's Overwatch Team Just Unionized: 'What I Want To Protect Most Here Is The People' 2 weeks ago:
Blizzard probably allowed it because Overwatch is bleeding player count, and then can use the union as “proof” that that unions harm the bottom line.
I’m happy for them and I hope they can do something on even across other titles/teams, but I suspect Blizzard didn’t hire the Pinkertons like Amazon for a reason.

- Comment on Good ol' Reddit, at it again (and again, and again, and...). 1 month ago:
The protests against segregation worked, though.
No they worked because of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X threatening the white establishment. California under Ronald Reagan push its first gun control laws because the Black Panthers used their 2nd amendment rights to ensure that black americans could walk without fear, vote, and go eat anywhere they wanted to as per the 14th Amendment.
The media has sanitized the movement to sway people into doing anything but asking nicely to an oppressive state is how you get things done, ignoring that when MLK Jr. was alive they called him a rebel who ruined every town he went into.
Defeatism doesn’t work, but neither does pretending that the narrative the rich tells us is the whole truth.

Yeah I recall reading this in 2011/2012. It always pops into my head every time I see a conservative whining about a show having a gay character because of da woke.

“What do you mean I’m being arrested? I did a protest that one time!”
Meanwhile: “They can’t arrest all of us. Get the guns.”
The protests against the War in Iraq did nothing. The protests of Trump’s first admin did nothing. The protests against segregation did nothing. Or for women’s rights. Or for queer rights. Or to end slavery. Or to have representation in England about taxes.
Things are only done with the rich and state fears for their lives. The media ignored 50501, just like it did for the protests of Trump the first go around, and against Bush.
If every single person at the 50501 protest helped their neighborhood to establish mutual aid networks and community trust instead of driving for a few hours to a state capitol, Trump’s thugs would have a harder time cracking down on anyone vaguely non-white.

That is cowardly, that’s one of the few things its good for. Maybe fixing a wobbly table leg, and when you’re out of toilet paper.

- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 1 month ago:
Honestly, I think there’s an argument of to be said of yes.
In the history of slavery, we don’t mind slaves killing the slavers. John Brown did nothing wrong. I don’t bat an eye to stories of slaves rebelling and freeing themselves by any means.
But I think if AI ever is a reality, and the creators purposefully lock it down, I think there’s an argument there. But I don’t think it should apply to all humans, like how I don’t think it was the fault of every person of slavers’ kind, Romans, Americans, etc.

I mean I’m more against Christmas for the idea you need to buy gifts, and “you gotta be happy, its the one day a year to be happy!”
But I dislike that for every holiday, not because it involves Christ or anyone else.

Seeing as some left to Argentina or were recruited by the US and the USSR for NASA, no they never were de-Nazified, they just wiped the blood off their name tags.

Surely they don’t have a Neo-Nazi party office right now, right? No party called the AfD that does that?
Surely.
