They/Them

  • Most of the bigger telenovelas that play on Telemundo or Univision still have predominantly white casts or have central characters that are white, while darker-skinned people get pushed to secondary or side characters.

    One of the telenovelas airing right now has famous actress Angelique Boyer (best known for Rebelde and Teresa) as the main character, and she's a French-Mexican women.

  • Benito Ocasio Cortez AKA Bad Bunny

  • The misspelling is part of THE_PACK joke

  • You've suggested that selfishness is a universal aspect of human nature.

    I suggested that selfishness is not a universal aspect of human nature, but instead a result of the intra-actions between human beings and political systems as they currently exist.

    Explain how it is I, and not you, who is the ideologue in this situation.

  • Selfishness is not a historical necessity of human nature, but rather one component of human nature as it exists in the current historical moment, shaped by current sociological, religious, political, and economic structures.

    Attributing selfishness as an inherent part of human nature and letting that underpin your misanthropy is wrong on two accounts:

    • You've taken a postion of idealism, a philosophy which has viciously been made obsolete for over 100 years.
    • You've expressed a problem, humanity and its selfishness, but have no solution to your problem besides an idea: hatred against humanity. A problem without a solution is useless. You've let your hatred make you impotent.

    I suggest you do some reading to better understand the idea of human nature.

    A favorite of mine is Elementary Principles of Philosophy.

  • I'll let you know if they live up to the original once I've got mine in hand 🫡

  • Before we get into a discussion, can I ask you what you think fascism is? By that I mean, given your current understanding, how would you define fascism, and what are the constituent elements of a fascist movement?

    I ask because people tend to treat words like fascism, totalitarian, and authoritarian as pure vibes without really having an understanding of what they all mean. I get that sense from your reply, so I want to hear what you think right now without any cursory research.

  • No, that is not the case. Where'd you get that idea from?

  • Yeah I don't think there's any one client that necessarily hits all the boxes. As long as you stick to Movim, Dino, Gajim, and Conversations you should pretty much be set for most things.

    Maybe the only solution is to roll your own client 😉

  • It means you won't be able to download and install apps from anywhere besides the Google Play Store unless the developer of said app has formally verified themselves with Google.

  • If you're seriously wondering then I'd highly recommend reading Daniel Guerrin's Fascism and Big Business. And Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebook, particularly the section The Problem of Political Leadership in the Formation and Development of the Nation and the Modern State in Italy.

  • Mullvad implements Wireguard under the hood. I think they have some OpenVPN endpoints, too.

  • Oh yeah for sure in the original manga he did nothing even close to redemption. He was an asshole pretty much until the very end of the manga until he admits that Kakarot is #1. But that's just the very beginning of changing.

  • He's got a more explicit redemption storyline in the Moro Arc of the Super manga where he acknowledged his hand in the genocide of the Namekians and is trying to make up for it by defending them from a new threat. But yeah I don't think you can really be redeemed from multi-planet genocide.
