  • It's also just wrong, because quite a lot of mammals and birds use sound for intraspecies communication (a la human language), echolocation is fairly common, feeding and hunting often generate sound... Sound production for mating purposes is a hefty chunk, but the joke here is pretty misleading.

  • Well, to be clear, there aren't any vegans who eat Sabra.

    There are plenty of plant-based dieters who do, though.

  • For now my plan is to just buy Chinese as much as possible.

  • Nothing says racism quite like siding with the bloodsoaked European settler who claims to be sad while building their new home directly on top of warm-in-the-ground Arab children.

  • Oh no!

  • The League of Nations taking Finland's side in the Winter War is a top example of how liberal "rules-based order" is a slippery slope to fascism.

  • Define better.

  • My name is Si Lili and I am good at ingratiating myself to targets, while also talented at coordination and leadership. I absolutely would not under any circumstances give the names of other spies to the enemy, even if one of them was really really smart and handsome. Please let me know if I can help.

  • Guards told them they would be taking showers to get them to go willingly and remove their clothes (easier than doing it after they're dead).

    Or so I've heard, anyway.

  • Going to donate military drones to the Houthis but rig them to play The Force whenever they fire their weapons.

  • Iran is treated that way because they're openly opposed and work counter to US interests, giving support to both Hamas and Russia, for example. Neither Pakistan nor India are so reliably anti-West, so even if they could plunge the world into a nuclear winter, there's little propaganda motive.

    Basically, what the bourgeois media report on isn't what's important for people to know, but what's important for the bourgeoisie to make known (or, well, make believed).

  • PFAS, pesticides... Almost every synthetic and a lot of the natural chemicals used in industry have unknown or known-bad side effects on hormones, behaviour, brain development, everything. And most countries don't regulate anything that doesn't outright hospitalise you right after exposure.

  • Nietzsche wasn't a nihilist, though. Nor was Heidegger.

    And Heidegger diving into the reactionary deep end is incompatible with Nietzsche, whose actual argument re: nihilism was that things like history, tradition, and Heidegger's "authentic Volk" are without value.

  • NATO is a military organisation which is led by the United States. The war started from expansion threats by NATO against Russia; or in other words, the war is NATO vs. Russia.

    As NATO is and long has been led by the USA, the Commander-in-Chief of the USA speaks for them.

    (As for why, if it's NATO vs. Russia, NATO haven't gone all-in? Because they could very easily start World War III that way, and no one is very keen on doing that.

    Oh, and also because they don't give a fuck about East Slavs.)

  • Do you think the Soviets should have run around slapping random people who used to be in the Wehrmacht? Do you think throwing your milkshake at some German who supported Hitler in 1932 would have stopped the Nazis?

    Punching random goons achieves nothing for the people. It is not praxis, it is not a revolutionary action, and saying you support it doesn't suggest that you take actual steps to oppose anyone.

  • Are you saying the CPC is libbed up for deliberately using reeducation and formal justice systems to resolve the recurrent terrorism problem in Xinjiang rather than using force and naked brutality like liberal "democracies" usually do? Keeping in mind that the Xinjiang policies have been effective while imperialist violence has deepened and entrenched conflicts, and that those ongoing conflicts which have been resolved through pure force specifically use lethal weapons and mass execution, not some embarrassing discount Incredible Hulk imitation.

    Or I guess we should be real here that you're just fedposting.

  • I think in America it's usually called hydric acid! 😨

  • This comes from someone who genuinely believes in the right to punch Nazis.

    Well, I see the problem now. Punching people doesn't solve Nazism.

    If you were advocating for reeducating them, revoking their right to vote, or even putting them in prison, fine. But punching people is just some weird power fantasy, "I'm better than you because I beat you up."

    The fact you think beating people up just to feel dominant or whatever is good politics shows you have a lot in common with Pewds... and, well, Nazis.

  • Why shouldn't I be able to have the files mare.png (a photo of a horse) and MarE.png (a photo taken on a vacation in March, fifth in the series after MarA, MarB, MarC, and MarD)?

    Or rainsley (a text file, no extension, with notes about a story I'm writing) and Rainsley (a directory with art of the same character the file is named after)?

    Do I strictly need to be able to do these things? No, of course not. But the file system is more flexible and functional if I am able to.
