  • Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name?

    Jump

  • I will attempt to say a person's name how they say it. If they say "call me [simple anglicized name]" then I will do that.

    Most people seem to appreciate the effort. I'm sure my American vocals butcher some pronouciations, but I don't make a big deal out of it and my work gives me a lot of chances to practice. I will always make a good faith attempt at last names.

    I live in Texas and will pronounce food names of Mexican origin with a Mexican accent. Burrito, taco, chalupa.

  • Russia, Iran, and North Korea still have elections.

    They will be held. They might not matter, but voting booths will open.

  • I wish I had your faith that there is a large group of followers that don't realize they are doing evil.

    ‘Censoring you in real time’: suspension of Jimmy Kimmel show sparks shock and fears for free speech

    Jump

  • So many people in the west have decided they don't want security, mutual aid, or really anything that might mitigate suffering.

    It seems like we are all gonna have to suffer the consequences of that until they realize how fucked up that is.

  • Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization

  • I am deeply saddened that we are gonna need a bunch nore Patrick Henries to make this true.

  • Grapevine cellulose makes stronger plastic alternative, biodegrades in 17 days

    Jump

  • Part of what makes plastic useful is that it DOESN'T DECOMPOSE.

    What's the use-case for stronger than steel material that rots in 3 weeks? State Fair buildings? Concert bleachers?

    If you can make plastic bags out of it for groceries that would be useful. Doesn't have to be stronger than plastic though, just equally flexible.

  • What do you think about the concept of lesser evil? (i.e. when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the less immoral one should be chosen.)

    Jump

  • Seem fairly sound and self evident. Obviously there can be disagreements on judgement, but I can't think of an scenario where the greater evil should not be opposed.

  • At this point I doubt Jackboots, swasticas, or gas chambers would make a difference.

  • I am concerned, but that means we need pride centers and marches more than ever.

    You don't protest when everything is quiet. You need to protest and get loud when you are under threat.

    Hiding right now is hoping that others will do the hard dangerous work for you. I understand anyone that leaves the US. Maybe I will too someday. But until that moment we need to resist as we are able.

  • With a definition like, shooting clubs are gangs. The NRA is a gang.

    Gangs are everywhere in the US and calling a group a gang is basically meaningless.

    You aren't wrong, but "could" is doing some heavy lifting.

  • Back during Trump's first term I would hear people saying "this country is going to fall into civil war" and I told my friends "we are nowhere near a civil war." Because the conditions were not there. It takes a huge buildup to move people to organized violence. You have to have thousands and in the US case millions or at least 100s of thousands of people willing to kill and die for a cause and we didn't have that, and still don't.

    But the pandemic came and we saw half the country couldn't be bothered to wear a mask or get a vaccine to protect their neighbors and the other half saw that outpouring of collective psychopathy and realized that their neighbors were willing to risk their lives and the lives of their family and community to "own the libs" and we moved a step closer.

    But you can't have a civil war like the 1800's today, there aren't bright geographical lines of loyalty. I predicted in the Biden administration that we would see a period of rising violence scattered across the country, like bleeding Kansas, but spread all over.

    And that is exactly what we are seeing.

    We still aren't at the point where we could fall into civil war, but we are closer every year. Trump is doing his damndest to create the conditions.

    I pray we never get that far. Civil wars are the worst short of full on genocide, and they make the big G a whole lot more likely.

  • American APCs packed with explosives become key IDF weapon in Gaza war

    Jump

  • According to other headlines they already have IDF soldiers refusing to deploy to Gaza and going to prison instead. The Nazis invented the gas chambers because shooting crowds of civilians was leaving their SS troopers disabled with PTSD. they need to gamify it to provide some psychological cover for their grunts to finish the job.

  • Why is it so hard to get friends to leave Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others? Anyone else feel this?
