Show solidarity with people, not with states.

Yes, a large portion of Israelis supports the ongoing genocide. That doesn’t mean killing any inhabitant of Israel is good. Combatants actively contribute, and they’re fair game, but not civilians. You know neither the opinions of the now dead, nor why they held them. The people there are, to an extent, victims to their system, which makes them think what they do. The ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class.

I understand why Hamas made the attacks, but that doesn’t mean I think they were good. Civilian casualties are always bad, no matter if in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine or Russia.

How many pictures does it show per second? And do I understand that right, it cycles through the data until it hears the sound? I assume that makes sending large files difficult, since it has to wrap around all the data, right?

That’s me about cybernetic implants.

Always loved the concept, improving humans beyond natural limits sounds desirable. But then Elon started his whole brain chip thing, and I realized that implants will only be available from big tech, and I sure as shit won’t get anything from them implanted

I’ve talked with someone that argued that the concept of intellectual property is inherently capitalist, and therefore it taking the art and other works of people doesn’t matter in the grand scheme.

And I guess I see the point. I don’t agree with it, but I can’t argue that well against it.

Probably nobodies. The monster was never stitched up of corpse parts, more likely created from scratch using body parts as ingredients after being liquified

I’ve actually always been kinda bothered about people calling the daemon made of stitched together bodyparts.

It never says that in the book, and rather sounds like Frankenstein took some dead body parts, and created some material out of which he formed the body. He talked about creating the veins and muscles, you don’t have to do that if you just stitch him up

Also, he’s not necessarily described as handsome. He’s described as having beautiful hair, but that’s about it. He had yellow skin that barely covered his muscles, black lips and dull, empty eyes. I think most of his ugliness came not from individual features tho. I’d imagine the monster would fall heavily into the uncanny valley.

It’s so interesting that I’ve stumbled upon a Frankenstein thread, considering I’ve read the part about his creation literally yesterday when rereading the book

Gotta rework how taxes are calculated. The mega rich just take out loans so they never have to pay capital gain tax. That loopholes gotta be closed

The economy going BOOM after the hype has settled

Honestly I’m happy that I don’t work for a Satire Site like the onion, cuz how tf are you gonna satirize that?

Satire is about taking current things to a ridiculous, and therefore funny, extreme. The current baseline is so ridiculous already, if you put that into the extreme it’s too far from reality to be somewhat relatable.

Satire is dead, and we killed it

It’s about the fact that the environment cannot be sustained while everyone eats meat. So it is about the suffering it will cause for me primarily, but to humans and not animals

Well, gotta make all the AI cost back somehow. Most people are too comfortable to actually change anything, so they’ll just pay more

Would visiting concerts count for that?

Veganism can also be about environmental impact. I’m vegetarian mostly because a meat based diet isn’t sustainable on a global scale. While I’m obviously happy about the reduced suffering, it’s importance is only in second place for me.

Tho maybe veganism is pretty much entirely for reducing animals suffering, I’m only a vegetarian and won’t pretend to know for sure.

I have a UV flashlight that I got in that price range I think, and they’re super fun. Yup wouldn’t believe what you can see with them.

My favourite party trick is showing people how many fillings they have in their teeth (Normal teeth are purple, but fillings are bright cyan, or maybe the other way around)

Honestly in that price range, I’d stick to something simpler, cheap mice can feel like garbage.

But you can get a really nice mousepad for 25 bucks

I’m glad to live somewhere with some workers rights, because clocking out to go to the toilet is ridiculous

Well the dutch once ate theirs

Agreed, resigning would only be the proper thing to do if he cut funding for anything relating to the accident. Which idk if he did, but assume he didn’t

I think a trebuchet would take too long to load tbh

Holy shit. What even happened yesterday that so many companies’ stock is crashing? Quarterly reports?
