Israel =/= Judaism

There are Jews who don’t like the government of Israel, and Israelis critical of their own country.

Regardless of the debate of whether admins should be legally liable for not deleting unknown child abuse digital files,

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think seeing a small number of pictures is going to scar you for life. I’ve seen goatse. I’ve seen people decapitated. It’s not pleasant, and I avoid those things, but it’s not scarring.

You shouldn’t use your own experiences to make this generalisation, given that people working at agencies prosecuting pederasts often have to receive therapy or even leave the job after continued exposure.

I am disturbed that people are afraid of unused images hiding on their Lemmy server.

Don’t you think it’s logical for someone to be worried about being vulnerable to being accused of what likely is, in many legal systems, a crime?

The only thing they do with any competence is traffic control.

They do? If that was the case, wouldn’t they actually do something with the rampant amount of bikes without mufflers?

Excuse me, I’m not socially awkward, I’ve got Ass Burger Syndrome 😤

OK FINE, I ADMIT IT, IT WAS ME. I’M SORRY, I WAS HUNGRY 😭😭😭

?? 👀💦

But you don’t see, comrade!!! We must tactically support the weaker evil that is defending values even more contrary to our own in this conjuncture where they’re provoking perfectly avoidable, immense human suffering!!! If we didn’t, perhaps I’d have to question if my previously held positions were actually the rational conclusion to my core philosophical values, rather than contrarian posturing!!!1!!

You have to drop the fake humility after years and years of continuously being disappointed everywhere you go.

The wiser people are so full of doubts because we are wise.

Prior to WWII, there were a lot of different conflicts where most of the main actors in WWII were involved. Spanish civil war with the coupists supported by the nazis, Germany annexing Austria and Czechia, Russia trying to occupy Finland, Italy doing whatever the fuck Italy was doing… Of course, that doesn’t mean that a world war is a necessary conclusion, but I wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking it’s a hint.

If the citizens supported getting the president out, why not vote for it? Coups in democracies are almost always the instrument of those who cannot win elections.

Women experience a fair amount of harassment in the open league. They aren’t forbidden from participating, but the environment discourages it, so they set up a women’s league too.

If there wasn’t widespread cognitive damage amongst a fair bunch of male players and organizers, they could implement a far more sensible solution: punishing harassment.

None of y’all are getting it. Trans women have an unfair advantage in chess because they can turn the king into another queen.

The solution, to my reckoning, is to start making things you love because you love to make them and to refuse to sell out when they come knocking.

I mean, sure, that will solve some things. Not climate change, though. I think we can aim for a little higher, but when I say that perhaps seeking infinite growth in a finite planet might lead to an environmental catastrophe that’s somehow controversial.

My siblings in Christ just because you have an unhealthy relationship with porn doesn’t mean that everyone else does too. Stop projecting your problems into pathologizing everyone else.

I think people generally agree that the drafts for the Vietnam war were not justified.

BATTLE-POPE, INITIATE COMBAT SEQUENCE.

If it’s a crime, do not fire them, lock them up in pris-

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the actions “treason” and has initiated criminal proceedings.

Oh. Oh well.

It was probably framing it like

Fun fact: All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover.

Instead of something like “we noticed the effects of climate change exceptionally this year because we stopped blowing sulphur (…)”. Yes, this is probably pedantic in a room where everyone understands anthropocentric climate change. Still, I can understand why some people might want to be extremely clear with how we use language regarding this topic, given… Everything that’s going on.

If you want to share what you’re making, dip your toes into the water. Some communities will appreciate the self-promotion as long as you do it in a sensible way, and other won’t. Right now, some degree of self promotion is great because it’s new content, which the Fediverse needs.
