We need to make it clear that people who didn’t vote, who let Trump kill millions of Palestinians, Ukrainians, and trans people, aren’t leftists. They’re genocide supporters. Genocide supporters get no sympathy for any of the mental gymnastics they use to justify it.
They went to the polls and the Republicans threw out their votes.
GoT set up Daenerys going insane in book 1. It was so obvious. I don’t know about the TV show, but it’s clear as day in the first book.
As for joker? It’s set up in the cartoon at the beginning. They literally tell you how the movie is going to go in that animation.
I think a story about an evil man who suddenly went sane is really interesting
Just because it uses a different mechanism to achieve federation you’re going to say that it doesn’t count as federation? That’s wild.
No. I’m going to say it doesn’t count as federation because it doesn’t achieve federation.
Actually, we need some new language to describe what Bluesky is. Federations are geopolitical alliances between equals. But Bluesky instances are centralised, with one relay acting as a truth source for many PDS servers. So to extend the analogy with a hierarchical geopolitical alliance… well that’s an empire. Bluesky is an empire. Bluesky is designed with an imperial mechanism. Bluesky is imperialised. That’s the new word for what Bluesky is.
So Bluesky doesn’t have any federated servers, and couldn’t federate with itself even if there were other servers.
It’s not fediverse.
Can two relays communicate with each other?
Office supply shops and universities often have printing services available to the public.
Yes. The first chicken egg was laid by a non-chicken reptilian ancestor. And the cycle of violence between Israel and Palestine began with the 1948 Nakba, the mass displacement and ethnic cleansing operation which ended with 78% of Palestine’s land occupied by Israel.
Give it back. There are people alive today who remember being forced to flee from their homes by Israeli soldiers during the Nakba. Let them go home.
Get a folding table and print a hundred pamphlets. Make sure they have a call to action on them. It can be a representative’s email address, a link to join a local org, or just the word “vote”.
Make signs so people can tell who you are at a glance. Come up with a catchy name for your movement.
Look up the protest laws in New York. Try to stay on public property or on private property where you’ve been allowed. Be polite to the cops. Don’t give them a reason to think you’re performing violent speech.
The two examples look the same to me
Israel is dropping bombs on Gaza and telling the civilians whose families are murdered that it’s in the name of Jewish sovereignty. No wonder some Palestinians hate Jews. Israel is telling them to.
Stop killing their babies and their mothers, and they’ll stop joining Hamas.
Maps are a social construct. Let’s cross Israel off the map and write Palestine there instead. A Palestine where Jews, Muslims, Arabs, and people of every race and religion can live together in peace as equals.
You can spin up your own Bluesky instance
…which is still managed by the Bluesky central server and can’t connect to peer instances without that server.
They’re also used to describe some enbies
Any time the police train an AI to predict crimes, it becomes racist. It turns out, harassing black people is statistically an effective way to predict crime. Because centuries of harassment, profiling, oppression, slavery, and et cetera have created the socioeconomic conditions to produce crime.
Likewise, if your goal is purely to prevent conflict in an amoral way, you should indeed exclude all neurodivergent people. Autistic people could misunderstand social norms. ADHD people could fail to honour commitments. BPD people could cause drama. NPD people could demean others. Schizophrenic people could imagine threats.
You’re right, it’s mathematically effective to trust the neural network heuristic in your head to tell you which people are trouble. It’s also wrong. It’s discriminatory. You will legitimately solve problems by excluding people who are different, and you will also deny those people an opportunity to show they are more than meets the eye.
If you had a trump-like figure put in front of you for 5 minutes, how much would you be able to figure out in that 5 minutes? Quite a lot I’d say
I don’t need microexpressions to tell that Trump is a liar. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Billions of neurotypicals have seen him talk, and hate him. You’re not talking about a skill shared by billions of neurotypicals. You’re talking about a special autistic superpower to read people. I don’t think it’s magic, I think it’s profiling.
The idea that you can tell someone’s moral character from microexpressions is hippie woo-woo.
The idea that you can detect the presence of mental disorders from microexpressions is quite valid.
I assume that what you can do is physically possible. Therefore, it must be the latter.
Most of the “reading people” done by neurodivergent people (especially former abuse victims) is simply developing the ability to diagnose people with the same disordered traits as their abuser. For example, if your abuser suffered from anger issues, it’s quickly identifying when a stranger struggles with anger.
However, discriminating against people based on mental disorders is wrong.
You know when a dog was abused by a woman, and then it barks at all women? Yeah, it’s that. Just more specific.
Sometimes it feels like .world is
I saw a lot of people saying it was worth not voting for Kamala, because it would “teach the democrats a lesson”. They said “If we refuse to vote for them, they’ll have to step up their game!”
Are you people happy? Do you think the Democrats are losing more right now than America’s trans people, or the Ukrainians, or the Gazans are? Do you think playing Chicken with fascism was worth it?
