  • Honestly, yeah. Thought that maybe it was earnest. Sure doesn't look it now, though.

  • It's not, though. People from LA will say the exact opposite.

    That saying pops up anywhere where there's a large range of weather. Which is most places, but not everywhere.

  • No, your first comment "asking" how the Arab slave trade compares is the whataboutism.

    But let's finish this, shall we? How does the AST compare to others? The history of slavery in the Muslim world between 5th and 20th centuries had between 6-10 million victims. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Slave Trade had 12‐15 million victims stolen from Africa between the 15th and 19th centuries. Meaning more were taken over a shorter period of time, requiring a more violent and genocidal act to accomplish. So, the stealing was worse.

    And, remember, unlike the Arab slave trade, those aren't the only victims. All of the African diaspora in the Americas are descendents of generations of the most cruel form of slavery humans have ever devised. An active, ongoing genocide as people were constantly displaced from their loved ones over and over again. They weren't allowed any privacy except during church (for a religion forced on them). They had to marry in secret. Their children were taken from them, never to be seen again. Their hair was shorn for "wool". Their dead were taken for leather and their bones used to process sugar.

    Oh! And in America, at least, they're still being used as slaves (13th amendment) to this day.

    So yes, again, this was the worst crime humanity ever committed. Sit the fuck down with this shit. Trying to fucking whatabout the goddamn Atlantic Slave Trade.

  • Hey, sick fuck, you're the one who wanted to play whataboutism. Not me.

  • Ghana takes transatlantic slavery case to UN

    Jump

  • Yeah, and you're saying that the forced relocation and genocide of African people where they were then forced into chattel slavery doesn't compare. Bro, why the fuck are you playing this game, dude?

  • Ghana takes transatlantic slavery case to UN

    Jump

  • Chattel slavery, the result of AST, is a supremely fucked version of slavery. Children of slaves were slaves, so this incentivized "breeding programs", which, beyond the nonconsensual nature, often included violence and forced incest. Christian justification at the time was that they had to punish their slaves "to save them from their sins". The sin being their skin color (see, the Curse of Ham)

    Arabic slavery had no generational component, since children of slaves were born free. Muslim practices of slavery had owners free their slaves at the end of their lives as a way of cleansing sins. Not defending either, but you wanted the whataboutism. So, there ya go. One is clearly worse than the other. Congrats?

  • Kerbal Space Program spiritual successor Kitten Space Agency now has a Linux version

    Jump

  • Having watched Scott Manley talking about the two. One, Kitten isn't fully out yet, it's mostly a tech demo right now. Two, Kitten is built on a 64 bit engine, so it can actually accurately simulate a solar system (a LOT of the "Kraken" physics in KSP was due to the 32 bit engine). As far as I know they're trying to make Kitten to be KSP but better. Like a KSP 2

    Jump

  • Yeah, the actual solution is to create some entity responsible for reducing the threat, rather than attempting to avoid the administrative work by creating a lazy-ass bounty program.

    Same issue with capitalism. Attempting to reduce the administration of dealing with a societal issue by foisting the work off onto people by promising them profits just makes everything worse.

  • U.S. trade deficit totaled $901 billion in 2025, barely budging despite Trump's tariffs

    Jump

  • Yeah, no shit. Need to make things that people buy in order for that to budge. Tariffs don't do shit for "trade deficits" (which, like, what does that even mean if you're the global currency?) and never will.
