    • Disruption doesn't sour public opinion toward a cause, but it's not clear if it's more effective than non-disruptive methods.

    Have they considered the Holy Week Uprising getting the Fair Housing Act passed within the span of a week?

  • There's an entire section of Hamas' Wikipedia page dedicated to it. The gist is that there's testamony that Israel explicitly funded Hamas in order to counter the PLO. This was to ensure a Palestinian state would never materialize.

    I have not researched the matter due as enough to have a full opinion, though I've heard multiple individuals state that it is almost indisputable that it happened.

  • I understand what you mean. The future is scarily uncertain right now.

    I encourage folks take that anxiety and turn it into productivity. Look into your local solidarity communities, which may take form as Union groups, local food shelfs, or many other forms. Donating your time or resources is what can help those most impacted right now and later down the line. There's no cut and dry way to find them, you just have to look and ask around your community.

    I would also recommend beginning to prep. There's some small communities on Lemmy, such as preppers@Lemmy.world ( you can find others by searching communities with 'prep' in their name). There's also some great podcasts covering prepping such as LLTWID and It Can Happen Here(this one is more heavy on current news but provides prep info in some episodes.

    I would also say that keeping your ear on guntubers isn't a bad idea (Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb, etc.). Not only do they provide tutorials that are potentially useful in extreme cases (Garand Thumb's urban and rural evasion tutorials and TRex Arm's summary of radio comms for example), but they are also likely laying out the playbooks most amateur militia will use in the future (if it comes to that), which could be useful info to know going forward.

  • You're upset that it's sunrise at 06:00 somewhere and not that some other lucky bastard landed sunrise at 00:00?

  • Between the two, months is much harder. With time, you just set your clocks to UTC. To get months fixed you need mass adoption, rewriting calendar software, etc.

  • UTC has leap seconds to keep it aligned with earth's rotation. Otherwise all timezones would slowly shift away from having any correlation with solar time. Between UTC and IAT, UTC is the more human-useable and thus better.

  • Eh, I think the article blows the situation out of proportion. Overall you're still in the same situation as before. Instead you would just be looking up a timetable of sunrises/sunsets, instead of a timezone chart. It ends up mostly reframing the question from "what time is it there?" to "what time of day is it there?". The real version of "after abolishing time zones" is "google tells me it is before sunrise there. It's probably best not to call right now."

    I've been using UTC on my own clocks without issue, and the change is not some completely reality-breaking thing - not anymore than DST. From a matter of personal perspective it just shifts what time correlates to what time of day.

    using UTC also simplifies the questions "what times can I call you at?" And "when should we have our call?" since you have the same temporal standard. Even before that, I was scheduling calls with family by stating the call would be at such-and-such time UTC.

    The biggest difference is with when the date changes, and I think that ultimately is the hardest pill to swallow, and that's even compared to stomaching the sun rising at 2 AM. Having it change from June 5th to June 6th in the middle of a workweek, or even jumping to another month would bother alot of folks in a significant fashion.

    Ultimately it's just a personal practice. No nation is going to abolish time zones if everyone still uses time zones. I just prefer it for various reasons.

  • This is even more relevant to Digimon. I have no idea of whether their file format is supported, or how digiworld differs on OS's. I'd have to guess it's some type of web protocol? Dunno...

    Edit: dug back into my childhood, the Digiworld is stored on a cluster of servers, so those are pretty likely going to be some flavor of linux. Local PC client applications are used for storing Digimon locally IIRC, and we also see in this clip that it appears that the guys are using windows 95 or something similar.

  • I've got alot of people I've promised that I won't off myself. Those promises were mainly what got me through the dark times.

    I set up a plan a while back now. Once I hit an age where I feel pain all the time, I'll start evaluating whether I'm getting enough enjoyment out of life to continue. If I decide it's time, I start getting my affairs in order. Getting closure with folks, having some good final talks with folks, giving the advice I can, documenting that I know that I haven't documented yet, distributing my things, etc.

    At the end of it, if I still feel like going, I'll get my N2 tank and respirator and find a nice place to sit.

    I've given myself 30 years for my first raincheck. Might push it up if things get real bad, but it's pretty alright ATM so I don't think I will RN.

  • Men, are you physically affectionate with other male friends? (eg, hugging, snuggling, playful wrestling, etc). If you aren't, do you wish it was more socially acceptable if it isn't in your culture?

    Jump

  • I'm becoming more comfortable with shoulder pats n shit, hugs too. Wrestling isn't my jam anymore. Gimme a dagorhir sword, or some other foam sword and let's have a no-holds-barred swashbuckle.

  • Saw the aftermath of a pretty bad motorcycle accident, with the rider receiving CPR. It was confirmed later by the news that they didn't make it. I was stuck at a light and able to see the scene for a few solid minutes, but it really didn't impact me heavily. Honestly it felt even less relevant than footage I'd seen before since I was having to actually drive and my attention couldn't be put entirely on the accident.

    In contrast, I was there for a friend putting their dog down. The amount of emotion everyone was going through was much more pronounced - you could physically feel the sadness around you.

    Seeing death always has an uneasy aspect to it, but I think the real impact comes from social ceremony. We choose to feel pain over it as a way to heal, I think.
