To be fair, I'm not aware of any fediverse instances or other reddit alternatives that even have an appeals process. Reddit might be throwing away its best features, but it is a feature its competitors don't even have yet.

My grandma used to say she didn't give a fuck about climate change because she's old and she'll be dead before it destroys the earth. Now she needs the air con to live in summer. I hope she dies of heat stroke.

He seems really angry and I think people should give him some space. Being the #1 advocate for walkability and transit in the world isn't easy. He must get so much hate from carbrains.

Israeli people and Palestinian people both have a legitimate claim to live in the land surrounding Jerusalem. Palestinians are mostly muslim, and there are other muslim places to live. Israeli people are mostly jewish, and there are no other jewish places to live. That said, religion isn't ethnicity. Palestinians may be the same religion as other muslims, but they're not the same race. Just like black americans are mostly christian, but that doesn't mean they're the same race as white americans. Israeli people can't be guaranteed fair treatment elsewhere. Palestinian people have a right to live in their homes.

Israeli and Palestianian people both have a valid and important need to live in the holy land. So the simple solution is, they should both live there. That's a solution supported by a lot of Isreali and Palestinian people. But it's not a solution supported by the government of Israel. The government of Israel wants political control over the whole region, and to be able to legally and systemically put jews first.

I don't think the correct answer is "support" or "don't support", because that's too broad. I think the correct answer is to support the people's rights, and support the government's desire for safety for its people, but not to support the government's treatment of palestinians.

You want examples of systemic racism?

  • Poverty is inherited and it's impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Black people in America are poor because they used to be slaves
  • White cultural traditions are legal in Australia. Many aboriginal cultural traditions have been made illegal in Australia due to land ownership changes
  • Black people are under-represented in universities, so the university scientists building facial recognition apps aren't building them to work on black people
  • Schools teach their lessons in english. Multilingual students who don't speak english at home often have a disadvantage in lessons that will be felt their whole lives
  • Children of illegal immigrants may have never received identification such as a birth certificate and it can be hard to get this as an adult
  • Whenever the police use robotic and computer systems to detect criminals the AI ends up racial profiling and harassing black people

I'm a queer conservative. I believe in conserving indigenous sovereignty, the environment, pagan religions, labour regulations and the strength of unions, and our knowledge of history. I question these newfangled ideas like capitalism and binary gender because I think they're no good. Things were just fine when we had 10,000 genders and I don't see a need to change that!

This is like saying if Australia has multiple states, then there must be a state where Australia doesn't exist

I hate Teslas because the owner is the company is a Nazi. I also think having a giant phone in the middle of the car is a bad idea, but it's mostly the Nazi thing.

Ports are a way of sorting requests sent to the same physical device into different services. If a single device is providing three different services, you want to send your request to the right service on the device. For example, maybe your device has a website, a piece of accounting software, and an online video game running on it. If it weren't for ports, you'd need three different devices to run those three different programs. But with ports, as long as I know what port the service I want is on, I can send my request to the right service on that device.

If you have limited money to buy devices but you want to make a lot of different apps, ports are important. Ports are also important if you're a business like Google that provides lots of different services.

Yeah, we had really crap parents. Honestly the worst generation of parents to ever exist in history. Just complete garbage human beings.

Capitalism is a system where you die if nobody needs you to do anything. Nobody needing your help is supposed to be a good thing.

I want to reduce abortions by providing easy access to sex ed and free condoms. Abortions should still be 100% legal and easy to get, but there ought be less of them cause they suck to go through.

Anyway, hail Satan.

It's the position of zionists. I threw it in for completeness, and added a counterargument. If you want me to explain their position more thoroughly, zionists believe that Jewish safety can only be guaranteed by Jewish independence. In any democracy, minorities are only protected as long as the majority vote for their interests. Zionists desire a state with a jewish majority, to guarantee safety. I don't believe in states because I'm an anarchist, but I empathise with wanting the protection of a state.

The workers at Starbucks, the ones taking your order and pouring your coffee, are the ones who created the Starbucks brand. It wasn't the executives, it was the people actually making coffee. Starbucks Workers United is a union of the people who actually make coffee at Starbucks. The people who make coffee, the people responsible for the Starbucks brand, support Palestine. That is a fact.

I think TOS did a better job giving the communications officer something to do. Mostly because in the 60s they thought space telephones would need operators, but still. Enterprise's innovation of making the comms officer a linguist was very clever, and I think it's a great way to give Hoshi more to do. But I don't think Hoshi is portrayed as performing the essential functions Uhura does, which make Uhura very important to the essential functioning of the Enterprise. Hoshi just presses buttons until the universal translator starts working, and then she's useless. I think that's a big failure of writing. Strange New Worlds was making this mistake too, right up until Subspace Rhapsody which stepped the portrayal of Uhura way up by showing us that Uhura has the telephone operator chops to run comms for the whole ship, and that she is indeed a part of all communications. I like the balance that SNW is striking for Uhura as of 2023, and I hope they keep that coming into the future. Because Uhura's job in TOS was very important and it remains important even with TNG style commbadges. There's a reason the Enterprise of the 60s feels more organised and professional than all later ships, and I think the comms officer is the biggest reason why. Kirk has the ideas, and Uhura gets everyone on the ship on his page. Contrast that with the chaos you see in TNG, which is dialed up to 11 in LDS, and you see the vital importance of the comms officer. Nobody tells lower deckers what's going on, because they forgot to replace Uhura.

And get re-banned if you post on the first instance from the remote. You can still be kicked out of communities because of misunderstandings and power tripping admins.
