  • Roma people have historically been very persecuted because of racism and ethnocentrism. Case in point: the holocaust killed up to 500,000 Romani people, but the actual figures are not known. Roma people are among the groups that are rarely talked about when the Holocaust is mentioned, despite losing up to 50% of their total population at the time.

    Arab and North African folks are usually considered white on the US census but that isn't really an accurate picture.

    Race is a social construct that doesn't have clear borders. Racial categories mostly exist as a way of creating division and limiting access to resources, to flatten the diversity of individual cultures represented by a racial category... or to inflict direct and systemic violence. The experience of being a racialized person is entirely the creation of the society that a person lives within; for example, African folks usually don't self-identify as "black," within Africa, but that's an important racialized experience that people can speak to in a place like the US.

  • Sooo high urgency with zero consequence for missing targets?

  • So ban them too

  • Pretty hopeful news actually.

    MTG is among the most seemingly dedicated to being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit, and yet even she is recognizing that a platform of being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit is no longer serving her.

    Fuck her forever. But I'll take this specific brand of opportunism as a positive sign.

  • As a lifelong celcius user I have a very intuitive sense of how 23 degrees celcius feels. I have no intuitive sense of how 50 degrees Fahrenheit feels.

    If you're used to a system then it's intuitive.

  • Yes. And also the explanation for why they're worsening is not exclusively because of fossil fuels/climate change. That is a factor, but others include terrible forestry practices (including, somewhat paradoxically, fire mitigation and fighting).

    Not trying to let oil and gas companies off the hook. It's just an issue that has a lot of shared blame between different industries.

  • Removed

    I guess we doin'

    Jump
  • What about Hitachi?

  • Yeah I mean I'm not surprised that this business is failing. It always just seemed like a worse and more expensive version of something that was always inherently pretty boring.

  • So now we're buying the article of clothing, the branding on said clothing and precision tools to remove the branding from the article of clothing.

    Not throwing shade at you specifically. That's a clever solution, I just kinda hate that this problem demands even more shit in order to get around.

  • OK... I'm legit just starting to judge people for still using that platform.

  • Say that's true. Do you then actually believe that if you're not smart or you "don't have drive," you somehow deserve to be unhoused or starve, to be unable to access healthcare?

    I'm all for people improving their lives, but as a baseline I just don't believe that certain people deserve the consequences of horrible poverty just because they didn't or couldn't perform academically.

    Also what's the justification for having a system that allows employers to exploit workers by paying poverty wages while materially benefiting from that labor?

  • You forgot the OG: Corn flakes

  • Lol

  • I mean, that's fine, but as a Linux user I've fucked around a lot and spent a lot of time fixing mistakes that I did not need to make.

    I think I'm a pretty average Linux user. Who needs something that "just works" when you can break it by trying to add something you don't need?

  • Cool

  • Right?! I know. It's so needlessly complicated. When I first learned about this my jaw legit dropped.

    I'm not even necessarily proposing a registry but this is just fucking ridiculous.

  • A lot of Americans do actually support some gun control measures. A lot of Americans also don't actually know how insanely hard and effectively the NRA has organized and opposed any remotely reasonable gun control measure. They basically ensure that any hearing on the subject is flooded by their members to oppose it. They just go and many sane Americans don't.

    I'm not American, but I actually support sane firearm ownership. I look at the lunacy over there and I am almost shocked. I really do think, from hearing about this as much as I do, that many Americans support sane measures. But the NRA is a huge problem. It prevents people from even being educated on this issue.

  • Property rights being valued above human rights is kind of a mainstay of capitalism.
