  So what level of calamity are we talking about here? 3% doesn’t sound that low to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, if you are unkind to people many will not wish to be around you regardless of your reasons for it.

  You’ll need to work to change your behavior if you want to avoid this. Many people have anger issues. It’s hard to control how you feel but you may have success in changing how you act when you feel this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I like to question everything, which is the reason I know this. I investigated and saw the evidence myself.

  It’s a little disappointing to me that most people aren’t this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There is literally so much evidence that anyone can perceive with their own eyes if they want to. You can easily observe the curvature of the earth anywhere with objects visible across an open plain or water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Valentine's Day!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume they’re fucking? But I’m not sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there communities to post videos of police brutality / excessive use of force?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be a better idea for a local project to start with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK fair enough. I think I get what you mean. China has more of an elaborate bureaucracy than the typical dictatorship. I’m not sure what word best describes this model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this your first introduction to Marxism? Lol welcome to leftism 101, if you reacted this way then there is hope for you.

  When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called “the People’s Stick”. -Mikhail Bakunin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it democratic though? There is some policy deliberation yes but that’s not what democracy means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am upset about it but what else can we do?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with Signal?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Openly Marxist is just the start of it. Dude is utterly unhinged, so his theories don’t mean a lot to me unless they’re backed by evidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna be tough to stop the creation of the camp since it’s in Cuba but there are orgs that are rolling out strategies to protect people in their communities from getting caught up in this. Check out your local orgs and see who is working on this and cooperate with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Permabanned from Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just met you and I already love you OP. I’m sorry you got banned from Reddit but I’m glad you’re here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Easier to join and clearer instructions. I don’t really get how it’s supposed to work from a user perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sometimes it be like that⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Real experts know and use a variety of names and consciously choose the best one for the specific context and audience in question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything my girlfriend and I have to consider when traveling to America based on our skin differences?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this will be a complete non-issue. Interracial marriage is quite common in the US. There might be a few isolated backwater areas where people would judge you but such people would be in the minority and would keep such thoughts to themselves.

  But regardless, anywhere international tourists would know of or visit will be cosmopolitan enough that such pairings will not be unusual to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who live in hot climates, how do you deal with the heat?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Expose yourself to moderate heat as much as possible. Your body adapts and then you can handle the extreme heat better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fall of the Regime — A video about the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the surreal rebirth of the Syrian Revolution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great video, also hosted here for those who prefer to watch on an alternative platform: kolektiva.media/w/bg1F1HdAtaqBkfCrdVsMVf

  I’m particularly interested in the mention of democratic structures created by Syrians during the revolution—this is my first time hearing of the topic, does anyone have any further reading on this? It is interesting that Rojava is so widely discussed but whatever the narrator is referencing is largely unknown here in the west.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GET REKT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty uncommon but it has happened. Especially with agricultural pests where there is a large industry that can push for a proper response. I’m guessing beekeepers were the industry in question this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not collectively but for the people making these decisions it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Trump orange?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He kinda looks better. If he just stopped making that face he would look like a normal human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm thinking taffy.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the exact composition but most lavas are going to be way more viscous than honey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the typical sentence for Hunter Biden's Tax Evasion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the people who were saying this is a political witch hunt are full of shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The judge won’t allow that as evidence, I guarantee it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re not even talking about insulting people. We’re talking about humor that points out the very real fact that men are by a huge margin the main perpetrators of violence against women (and against men too!).

  Again, how is that harmful?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Attempts to dodge the question make it clear that you cannot articulate any harm here. Which is exactly what makes it not bigotry. Go touch grass mate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I’m asking you to explain a specific harm in a specific case which I don’t believe matches any reasonable definition of bigotry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? Men as a class are privileged. I’m fine with punching up.

  Note this does not apply to individuals and certain subsets of men who may be relatively less privileged (gay men, black men, etc.)

  Why do you think it’s fucked up? What’s the harm?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All good points I hadn’t considered! However, some people did try to turn it into a math problem which I had to object to at that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[from 2020] Why Don’t We Just Ban Targeted Advertising?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems to be mainly about billboards. I’m talking mainly about a sign on your door that explains what your business is. I hadn’t initially thought of this as a form of advertising but it technically is.

  I’d be open to discussing a broader ban but my current thinking is that this very basic type of advertising which is primarily informational may be do more good than harm.
