wdym by actionable end state?
- Comment on Inside the life of a 24/7 streamer: ‘What more do you want?’ 3 weeks ago:
probably because she doesn’t want to sell what’s supposed to be an intimate relationship for capital
- Comment on is it ableist to “support equal rights and those with disabilities” but think someone is terrible and doesn’t deserve rights for showing signs of a disability? 3 weeks ago:
associating psychosis and narcissism with being abusive is textbook ableism, so yeah
- Comment on Interview: Tawny Newsome On Finding The Sweet Spot For Her Star Trek Workplace Comedy 4 weeks ago:
do you only claim “the brand is diluted” when Black women get involved or do you do that for every mediocre project?
unless you’re Stamets and you already saw all the future Trek projects I don’t understand how you’d know whether they’re good or not.
- Comment on Interview: Tawny Newsome On Finding The Sweet Spot For Her Star Trek Workplace Comedy 4 weeks ago:
Mariner is one of my favorite Trek characters period. I’m happy they’re letting Black women write their own plots.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
no, if anything it will increase them because prices going up is almost always tied to mass layoffs. austerity package and all that.
- Comment on Father Whose Son Was Shot by Cincinnati Police Hits Deputy With Car, Killing Him 4 weeks ago:
they’d absolutely not be in the ACAB camp, considering the track record of tankies on creating police states. there wasn’t a single ML state in history that didn’t end up doing this.
- Comment on Father Whose Son Was Shot by Cincinnati Police Hits Deputy With Car, Killing Him 4 weeks ago:
.ml users siding with the police once again, I guess this is the logical endpoint of being MLs
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 5 weeks ago:
i think the real debate should be whether cis people should be allowed in sports. it makes my children uncomfortable to see them pushing their lifestyle down their throats
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
reminds me of Garak from DS9. telling the truth and lying at the same time every time
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s impossible to have truly private conversations not just with therapists but with any kind of legally mandated reporter. at the end of the day, they’ll always choose self preservation over losing their career just because the state is trying to disappear one of their patients. they can either hand your medical file over or lose their licence.
I’m sure a very small minority are willing to risk their license by falsifying records (see leftist therapists during the Holocaust), but most of them aren’t brave enough.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 5 weeks ago:
yes a lot of cultures went extinct but not because they didn’t have writing. it’s because there was no one left to pass on the knowledge.
if we think about it from the perspective of contemporary indigenous people, they know how to read and write but that’s a side effect of boarding schools. and it’s led to more intensive cultural extinction because of forced assimilation
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 5 weeks ago:
so all those genocides weren’t enough, you want a repeat with you at the helm?
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 5 weeks ago:
there’s no evidence or even claim of there having been any kind of writing or system for making information durable
sigh it’s called oral history and it was working just fine before the settlers showed up
- Comment on Doom (2016) now DRM free on GOG 1 month ago:
reminder that Microsoft is on the BDS boycott list. the devs won’t be seeing any money from a 2016 game so you might as well sail the seas
- Comment on The rise of ‘Frankenstein’ laptops in New Delhi’s repair markets 1 month ago:
TIL starvation is a choice. you are disgusting
- Comment on The rise of ‘Frankenstein’ laptops in New Delhi’s repair markets 1 month ago:
they aren’t killing themselves, the system of exploitation is. please stop shifting the blame to some of the poorest people on earth who can choose between shitty jobs like this and starving
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 month ago:
believe it or not, it’s possible for 2 things to be true at the same time. ACS is cool even though Ubisoft is evil. what you call virtue signaling is just people having interests
- Comment on The rise of ‘Frankenstein’ laptops in New Delhi’s repair markets 1 month ago:
these are true hackers living the DIY spirit, much respect to them!
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
yeah, a bunch of unions have already put out support statements for BDS. list them as an example for your own union to follow
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 1 month ago:
I personally disagree with giving more rights to immigrants and don’t like the idea of negotiations with terrorist organizations to divide the country
if you disagree with immigrants having human rights, that’s just fascism my friend.
also you calling Kurds terrorists says a lot about how you’re actually just a genocide denier cosplaying as “just an average person without a political position”
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
maybe they could use a donation model like fediverse instances do
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 1 month ago:
CHP are Kemalists. idk how anyone worshipping that genocider could be called left-wing (maybe if you’re an ethno-nationalist?). I’d say the real left wing in Turkey would be the Kurdish people fighting for autonomy, the feminists and queers fighting the cops in the streets and the union movements.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 1 month ago:
there are 3 major right-wing instances: lemmy.ml(ran by the Lemmy developers), lemmygrad.ml(the openly fascist version of lemmy.ml) and hexbear.net.
if anyone wants to argue, I don’t. Anyone supporting Russia is right-wing.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
wrong, no other cloud provider offers the same military services that Microsoft does
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
as a bazzite user, it’s kinda ironic that they’re dependent on GitHub cloud to keep their updates going. I wonder if they have a non-apartheid version?
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
start with the stuff that’s easy to get rid of and the rest will snowball down the line.
as for your workplace using Microsoft, nobody expects you as an individual to force your company to stop using them. the best way to achieve that in my opinion is through unions and collective actions.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
a question to parents/guardians of kids playing Minecraft or other Microsoft games:
if they uninstall the Microsoft version of Minecraft and switch to a pirated launcher, does that respect the BDS demands?
I’m aware of similar media boycotts such as SAG/AFTRA telling people not to promote targeted media projects publicly. Ofc, BDS is a different organization but I’m hoping someone could clarify if not promoting Minecraft while still playing is sufficient? I’m not personally invested in continuing to play, but would like to find ways to inspire my young relative to consume consciously.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 1 month ago:
they answer your question in detail on their own website
