I post pictures with my other account @Deme@lemmy.world
The so-called paradox dissolves away once you recognize tolerance as a social contract between parties, instead of some immutable principle.
They break the contract, so they’re no longer covered by it. Treat others as you would like to be treated. It’s not that complicated.
Reminded me of a quote from The Expanse:
My life has become a single, ongoing revelation that I haven’t been cynical enough.
The accelerationist part of my mind kinda hopes that this would happen. The EU needs to get its shit together asap, and this could shove us nicely towards that. Or then we just keep groveling like the vassals that we are.
It’s called Multiple discovery. And there’s really no need for collective conciousness. People working with the same information will simply figure out the same solutions to the eqations.
My job is to do weather observations every half an hour, or when the situation changes drastically enough to warrant an update. I used to get a bit stressed out about noticing the clock approach one of the routine times while not at work (because that’s when I haven’t been keeping an eye on the sky so oh shit now I gotta figure it out fast!), but I think I’ve gotten mostly out of that pavlovian response. Many of my colleagues say that they also get this. But the phone alarm (a manufacturer default) that goes off at that time as a reminder definitely triggers it. Luckily I’ve only heard it like once or twice outside of work.
Reddit works fine with tor. At least old.reddit, and I’m not using an account. Sometimes it requires a couple of refreshes or a new path.
IIRC they also have an onion site.
Error: That number is already picked for a different rule. Please select a different number.
Currently I get my salary indirectly from the International Practical Chemtrail Cabal (IPCC), with the social media PR side more as a side hustle.
I think existence is preferable to nonexistence. Sure life sucks a lot, but then there’s also the beauty hidden all around us, which when revealed, reminds me that it’s good that I didn’t kms. Similarly, it makes me glad to have been born in the first place.
The world doesn’t run on renewables. If the energy mix contains even a bit of fossil fuels, then any extra demand props up fossil energy that could be shut down.
Has that website actually achieved anything of relevance?
Sure, but as if the politicians in charge could think that far ahead :D
Israel needs that insecurity. They need enemies to unite against so that the country doesn’t fracture along the liberal/orthodox divide.
From the article:
In the last major heatwave in the region, in 2018, 750 people died early in Sweden alone, and scientists anticipate a similar toll once the data is processed.
X being bad is no argument against doing something (even a little) about a different bad thing Y. Fuck excessive flight travel and fuck generative AI. There’s no need to only pick one thing to hate.
Ah, whataboutism, how refreshing.
Ok, well in that case I guess we should just keep looking at those ugly as shit pixar-ish chipmunks. Maybe their cutesy faces will motivate someone of the 5k monthly visitors here to become the next unabomber who finally defeats Peter Thiel.
It’s just a single png. If somebody kicks up their feet and stops caring after getting the mods to change it, then do you honestly think that they could’ve gotten anything significant done in the first place?
how pretty the sky looks when I happen to notice it.
I second this one with every fibre of my being. Look at the sky every chance you get. Clouds are beautiful.
Photography also helped me learn to keep my eyes open for all the pretty sights around. There’s a lot more of those waiting to be witnessed out there than one might think.
None of that means that what OP is proposing wouldn’t still be the right thing to do. A drop in the ocean, sure, but still preferable to the alternative.
Either you commit to a society that respects people as people regardless of their ethnicity and religious beliefs (so long as they don’t limit the freedoms of others), or you don’t. I wouldn’t call that an arbitrary line. If your views cross that line, I will not tolerate them.
The local neonazis held a “book club” at a public library here once (a publicity stunt because they knew it would make a lot of people angry). One liberal writer decided to go there to participate and to talk to them. She announced this beforehand and an article was published in the biggest newspaper in the country. It must’ve come as quite a surprise to her and all the idiots cheering her on for her tolerance, when she changed no minds and only contributed to the publicity stunt while also lending some of her credibility to them. Tolerating their views only gives them more legitimacy as a part of the political discourse.
When I see neonazis marching on the street here, I go shout obscenities at them to make sure they as a group feel unwelcome. The last time that one of them came up to me asking if I had a problem, I tried to talk some sense into him and I think I succeeded at least to an extent. Because a one on one conversation detached from the wider context is the only possible avenue to do so, when the us vs. them tribalism is at least somewhat removed and people can actually see each other instead of just a member of the opposing tribe. No cameras or ulterior motives, no incentive to keep up appearances as the best little loyal member in our team. That’s how I think we should treat intolerance.
