    the two party system is just one big party

  • Criminy, 'vote blue' doesn't mean vote and then sit at home thinking your work is done. It means voting for the lesser evil and then continuing to leverage the whole of your might to making the system better. It means fight just as hard for justice, just do it while trying to pick a less evil bad guy to have to fight. You want a whole new system? Then fight for it, and vote blue while you're at it because it'll be easier to kick those idiots out than the outright fascists.

  • This hurts me. The term is 'yoked' as in strong as an ox that can bear a yoke, not 'yolked' as in somehow related to egg slime. Hugging gorillas is very wholesome though.

  • Bro vegan athletes win in the olympics, in strong man, in sprints, in marathons, all over the place. They have to work hard for it, sure, but there's nothing special about meat protein.

  • Know the real culprits

    Jump

  • Many things follow this pattern, but not all. It's important to recognize when you're being fed outright lies by the real villains and when you're actually part of the problem. Don't pretend corporations are solely to blame if those corporations can only do what they do because you willfully pay them for it. When they have a monopoly on necessary goods, sure, they're entirely the bad guys. When they would do harm whether or not you pay them, same thing. But don't act like the corp is the bad guy and you're the poor little victim if you're choosing to empower the bad guys when you have the option to spend your money ethically instead.

  • Yes my friend. “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” ― Albert Camus

  • Emphasis on 'potentially'. Don't waste too much time on them, some of them get off on watching you uselessly spend your time and energy and sanity on them. Brainwashing doesn't work like it does in comic books. These are people who were already willing to and capable of rationalizing putting kids into cages and the 'brainwashing' just gave them an easy explanation.

    It's like a person who has committed rape. Even if they come out later as an anti-rape activist and they're publicly remorseful and they do a lot of work to make up for the harm they caused you still aren't gonna leave them alone with your sister.

  • I like it, let's try it. I'm sure there are pitfalls but they can't be worse than what we have now.

  • Fish Suffer Up to 22 Minutes of Intense Pain When Taken Out of Water

    Jump

  • There is overwhelming scientific evidence that animals feel pain and are sentient like us, and despite the pop science articles to the contrary there is no scientific evidence that plants feel pain or have sentience at all. Plants respond to stimulus in very complicated ways, that's what we have evidence for. Don't pretend the two are equivalent. Stop getting your ideas from sensationalist pop science garbage and read the actual studies.

  • I think you're almost at the right idea but you're stuck on the conditioning that it takes some daddy authority figure to be the one enforcing behavior. That's for babies. Adults should enforce good behavior in other adults. If you see an asshole taking up 4 seats it is your responsibility to tell them to act right. I used to be scared of doing it but the older I get and the more free of authoritarian conditioning I become the easier it is to call out bullshit. Just the other day some asshole in a Ferrari parked so close behind my busted up prius that I wasn't going to be able to get out. He was still getting out of his car and I was able to say, "If you don't move your car I'm just gonna hit it so I have enough space to get out." Bro looked quite scared and I think it's because of the complete lack of fucks I had left to give that day. Point being, just open your mouth and advocate for justice. Don't pass that responsibility off to someone else because they don't exist. If someone needs to get bounced and you don't have the physique or training for it that's a great time to ask for help from passersby. You aren't alone in being pissed off at assholes acting entitled, plenty of people will help you if you get the ball rolling.

  • Billionaire Sunjay Kapur has died after swallowing a bee at a polo match

    Jump

  • My [sister/brother/other] in [insert deity] have you forgotten that in almost every place on the globe food is purchased with money? And that money is also how you buy politicians? One billionaire absolutely could solve hunger through a combination of direct donation and political spending.

  • earned it all

    Jump

  • Maybe but there are also lots of people with mental illness who manage it and are still decent people. Not every sociopath is a serial killer but every billionaire is fucking evil. The decision to acquire great wealth at other's expense and use it only for yourself is something else.

  • Anonymity

  • Fear of retaliation by the physical human in front of you as well. Some people are good because they believe in the value of goodness but a lot of them only act right when they can't get away with being awful.

  • I would argue that 'free' just means the cost is hidden and you might end up paying it anyway through the societal effects that the energy demands of LLMs cause. That is, there's a cost and it will make it back to you somehow or other because that's how tech oligarchy works.

  • Rebecca Shaw: I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. But I didn't expect them to be such losers.

  • Yeah, I think it's a mistake to imagine that these are good people who just need a little love. There are literally hundreds of millions of people who aren't getting enough love for proper human flourishing and it's not like that turned them all into fascists. The kind of evil exhibited by these people must be attributed to a fundamental enjoyment of the suffering of others.

  • We need more opensource hardware

    Jump

  • There are tons and tons of excellent drones running opensource betaflight so I challenge your claim that all 'no-name' drones are bad. The top racers and freestylers and world-record-speed-setters don't fly DJI and I'm pretty sure the market for professional cinelifters is entirely out of DJI's reach. It's true that there aren't really other drones in the same market segment with all the hand-holding and flight assist and outright auto-flying DJI is famous for but that's a much more narrow window. For people who want that stuff your claim is true.

    For people flying primarily with their own skill there is still a great opportunity to build from parts and compile from source.

  • It's also accounted for almost 100% by mosquitos, specifically the diseases they carry...so not really the mosquitos at all. Quick searching shows snakes following mosquitos with 100,000 deaths caused per year. In any case, the scale is prodigiously unbalanced. Human animals kill trillions of non-human animals, almost entirely for their own pleasure. Non-human animals kill a few hundred thousand human animals (or a bit over a million if you count mosquito-borne disease) in self defense or by accident.

  • This is bringing hope to millions of people and setting the precedent of democrats actually resisting. It's changing what is normal and energizing others to do their own good work, to get into their own 'good trouble'. It's doing a lot of fucking good. What the fuck are you doing?

  • A good criminal justice system ought to have comprehensive mental health services as part of the goal of rehabilitation. Therefore, for his own good, he should be in prison and we should reform the prison system.
