To devolve into their tactics is to give them ammunition to fuel the brainwashed.

I agree with this message but not your reasoning. Fascists don’t care about what is true. If we only speak objectively, make rational arguments, emphasize logical consistency, stick to our principles, etc, they’ll just lie and take things wildly out of context to feed to their base. They don’t need us to feed them ammunition.

However, we should still do these things for our own sake. If we fight their misinformation with our own, we erase any hope objective truth and shared reality have of coming back. A lot of Trump voters and supporters don’t support every aspect of modern fascism. If the Epstein files or Iran war gets some of them to realize they’ve been lied to, they might look around to other ideologies. We need to represent the values of transparency and truth that the MAGA movement pretends to uphold. If manipulation and deception eventually defeats fascism, it would still be bad. The new normal and values of the new leadership would continue manipulating and deceiving people to the benefit of the rich.

Isn’t that the guy that made a bezos face boat?

…I’m not a vegan but wow. Cattle live a whole life of horror. Pretending that eating meat is more moral than than eating plants because they suffer less is plain deliusion.

Yep I love it. It’s how I keep my password manager synced between devices. It can be finicky to set up but just works without thinking after that.

Electricity and magnetism got me to change my major from physics to mechanical engineering. I thought I loved physics. Turns out when it’s a bunch of pixie bullshit that I can’t feel or see, I don’t like it so much. Vibrations is the E&M of Newtonian mechanics though. Had to take that one twice.

I suspect retention would actually be better for Linux. I used to be addicted to reddit before switching to Lemmy. Now I’m less addicted and don’t check it as much as I used to check reddit. With a computer, making the switch means you’ve made the switch. Some people will dual-boot and go back to windows for some essential software but once you make the transition, you’re still going to use your computer.

The average worker is several times more productive than they were 100 years ago and women have entered as well. If we don’t have enough workers, that’s evidence the value isn’t going where it should.

I understand chastising them for bad opsec. But I draw the line at saying they deserve it. A person not doing anything wrong doesn’t deserve to be punished. That makes it seem like the police response is justified and it isn’t.

Victim blaming

Recently announced starfox remake. The characters look absolutely terrible.

Much like every culture war issue the right grabs onto: there’s no logical basis for it. It became an in-group thing to signal to others that you’re “one of the good ones”. Sane people pointed out how bad it was which only made ivermectin more entrenched as THE healthy thing like crystals, red light therapy, essential oils, basically anything not backed up by a healthcare expert.

Anything but the metric system

Haha where’s this image from? Hahaha like where could I find others?

I miss being able to play Rivals of Aether 2 with a GameCube controller. My to my knowledge there’s no good way to connect one on Linux.

Ahh fuck

You can not evolve out of a clade. Any way to group dinosaurs must include all of their descendants.

Yeah the game runs ok from what I can tell. I’m used to the Xbox controller now but I wish I could use the GameCube. It’s super odd to me that this hasn’t been addressed. Surely a driver is not that complicated to make for such old hardware.

I can’t connect a GameCube controller. There’s some ancient thing on GitHub that claims to do something but I feel over my head trying to do it and it hasn’t been updated since like 2016. On Windows, you download Zadig and run it and you’re good to go. I’ve had to switch to an Xbox controller for Rivals of Aether 2 online.

Disclaimer: not qualified to talk about this with any degree of authority.

I thought species were most commonly defined as naturally producing viable offspring. Animals that can produce fertile offspring but only in captivity were lumped in with mules and other hybrids.

I’m now reiterating the disclaimer that I shouldn’t even be allowed to speak on a public forum about this subject. It’s amazing I haven’t been arrested.

Do they do that naturally?
