The worst tankie-argument I've encountered so far was "well gulags weren't that bad, only couple millions died", so I have to agree they haven't read a single thing about history of those times, but also it seems like there's something seriously wrong with these types of people just in general
Even Europe seems to be speed-running fascism, and it’s probably a matter of time before we follow in the US’ steps…
The good thing is, that we still have the chance to affect things and fight against fascism. Even seeing how bad things get in USA (very sadly) might make it easier for people here to realize they don't want that.
And as a transperson in the nordics; even if things have been getting slightly worse for us unwanteds here as well, it's still not even close to how bad it was only like thirty years ago. We're people now and get state funded medical care for transitioning etc.
Honestly it would be really interesting to read that discussion, if it stayed objective and not divert to memeing. You can argue bestiality shouldn't be forbidden by specific laws (but animal welfare laws) since if we make laws based on what we find gross, that's how we get bans on homosexuality for example. Also you could argue that animals can actually consent in some ways, since if a male dog is willing to hump anything, isn't that consenting? But then on the other hand in comparison if a person of limited mental capacity is willing to fuck anything, is fucking them ethical?
Anyway, after writing that I find it important to point out that I'm personally aromantic asexual and absolutely do not want to fuck anything lmao. Though maybe that also has something to do with how I can look at these concepts from a distance, since they have nothing to do with me
And some stay up all night to watch the fire and be the guard when everyone else sleeps. And some see and remember the weather patterns and can tell when it's a good weather and when the winter is going to come. And some look at the stars and the moon and can always remember and tell the directions where to go. And some know all the animal tracks and know all the animal sounds. And some smell and taste a lot better when things are funky, so nobody dies. And...
This is what I've definitely struggled the most with mint so far. It's extremely difficult to find anything and I've needed to manually search for the file paths multiple times already, since I always manage to do something I need them for, and I haven't gotten locate to work etc... Though this is probably just me being stoopid since I never find anything on windows either lmao
Oh yeah I was going for "I know some of them think like this" and not "hey at least they think this way". That attitude could be even worse than just being ignored
A lot of confusion seems to stem from people thinking that allowing transwomen means a lot of men would just sign up into women's sports. Which of course is a not a very good take if you know anything about transitioning (and in money making levels you wouldn't be allowed into women's sports without being on hormones likely for years anyway) and it's effects on the body. Even without talking about dysphoria, you can't just go forwards and backwards with transitioning without having some major physical consequences
This so much. You fight so you don't have to choose between evils, but if you fail, for the love of all that's holy don't support or enable the greater evil. Harm reduction starts when all else fails
Oh yeah it's definitely not "due super eruption" or anything, that's just some usual media concerning big news!! misinformation. But the area is certainly active and the possibility for an eruption or even a super eruption still exists
Does anyone have recommendations for something that has the possibility for custom emojis? So far I've only found Stoat enabling them, but I'm still searching if there's anything better out there... I know slack allows them, but it's way too expensive for casual hobby things and I'd rather have something open source.
