*female… female is the adjective for this case. What is with the weird trend of trying to use the word “woman” as an adjective?

This doesn’t fix anything. It kinda localizes the problem to within the former borders, sorta, maybe, at least temporarily. But balkanizing a nuclear empire just leads to a bunch of smaller, ever more deranged nuclear states, with all the same problems, but now an enormous amount of internal conflict and bloodshed, without stopping much of the external conflict and bloodshed. It’s not like Yugoslavian breakdown went well or anything, and this would be more of that but on the scale of the USSR or China. If we’re gonna get out of this, we need to do it at least sorta together.

Usually the argument goes into the ethics of bearing children in a way that, knowingly, creates a significantly and markedly higher risk for every kind of disorder reducing the child’s QOL. I don’t usually find this argument anywhere near airtight, since there’s a plethora of other ways to do that that aren’t banned AND this veers into eugenics territory. But that’s the argument I’ve seen, at least.

Shit. Any other news week a tragedy like this would be making a lot more international headlines.

Best wishes to the survivors and families of the killed.

Oh boy, I hope it’s the big one

BLS data, meaning it’s the US.

Yes, it is an actual hellscape.

Might only be comparing equal screen sizes, which would mean the better TVs of the 2000s are being compared to what are basically computer monitors today. And yeah, the cost of those now is negligible compared to an actual common mid-sized (let alone large) TV of today.

I seem to remember a mention of something like “blacksky” being a small instance that’s technically on a different server or…however bluesky actually works. It was mentioned briefly in an article titled something to the effect of “The Myth of a Protocol” where they were going over all the ways the bluesky isn’t actually a federated social media form in practice, even if it could technically be described as one.

fair point, guess it depends how fast you can pull a trigger

Worst wishes 💙💛

lol I got banned from Reddit for saying people who are gonna be killed by ICE should take one out with them if at all possible.

Haven’t had an issue with it here though.

Man, I love the dystopian nightmare of information warfare we’re living in. It’s just so entertaining to learn a brand new way massed computers can fuck with people’s brains from afar every. single. day.

The… Iranian regime’s own claims are Mo/CIA slop? Or the (highly relevant) accurate reporting of what the wanna-be dictator of the US is saying while threatening vaguely about it?

oh nice it’s the community icon, but gun :3

Ah, that makes sense. Good point.

Thank god someone here gets it. That attitude is weirdly common here on lemmy and it serves as such a giant middle finger to the people fighting against the fascists every day, and especially vulnerable and oppressed groups who’ve been fighting with all we’ve got just for it all to fall apart anyways.

I know these people aren’t actually ops but it helps me sleep easier at night to assume they are.

I straight up referred to the entire situation as a shitshow. The tone indicator should’ve been wildly redundant.

Are you kidding me? Did you seriously not grasp the sarcasm of that comment?

As if I’m not fucking trying? They first came to power when I was a child, and I’ve been fighting them my entire adult life. Shut the fuck up about what my responsibility is, I’ve gone far and above that.
