Huh? What did I miss?

I'm still a bit too much in the "science" mindset (of a field I know very little about) and too little in the "I just buy this thing" mindset. ;)

Real cool, but a bit intimidating for me 😅. For example: what does "doublestrength" calcium and magnesium mean? I only got generic mineral salts for a nutrient solution at home. Do I need stuff from the pharmacy? I'm only at the kratky-bottle stage of experiments.

What is this? Femcelmemes?

This is not to take the heat off of Trump and his coterie of tradcath fascist weirdos, but to extend it to the more "normal, respectable" fascists who also richly deserve it, but who we have been taught to view as lesser or necessary evils. Good cop, bad cop, ACAB.

Yes, that is pretty much the gist of it.

On ML, they often complain that "authoritarian" is a liberal buzzword to make foreign governments seem scary. And they do have a point here, because it is used like that in liberal discourse.

However, I think the word is still useful, as long as you don't selectively apply it and also use it to criticize liberal democracies.

Ich habe einen installiert. Hab dafür aber keine vorhandene Verkabelung verwendet, sondern betreibe ihn mit (langem) Kaltgerätekabel an der Steckdose.

Meiner hat auch eine Funkfernbedienung. Damit ist er auch ohne Zigbee steuerbar. Wie effizient er ist, ist mir aber relativ gleich. Bürstenloser Gleichstrommotor ist mir gut genug.

Eww, I got classist identity politics propaganda in my feed.

Don't spread classist propaganda. Overalls are sturdy trousers for heavy work. The one on the top's job is to look pretty. The one on the bottom does some hard, manual labour in these clothes.

I'm not saying one's better than the other. Just that these people are graded on the same scale thah different jobs don't satisfy.

Paraphrasing Daniel Baryon from his Work "a modern anarchism":

Authoritarian is the description of a system that behaves in such a way that institutional power is concentrated into the hands of a minority.

It applies, though. At least in the only logically coherent definition I know. No matter how commonly it's used.

Were's the comment that shows this ain't slop?

Is there anyone on lemmy who doesn't view Trump as an authoritarian wannabe-dictator?

Neat idea... but I don't think federal law is gonna stop the oligarchs under this administration.

Wait... that doesn't look like the war thunder forums...

That she's based af?

I never had that problem.

I could not reproduce. (⌐■_■)

Anon is apparently fake and gay

Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?

Don't believe that you're always gonna be protected by some judge somewhere.

Get a proper VPN, dammit!

Never figured out how to properly use these. I just find it very akward to put my tongue that close to my keyboard.

I get it. Fuck subscription based licences.

But I remember that you could keep the last version you subscribed to after subscription ended, which is way better (and the way Adobe products used to work).

Am I wrong? Or did they change that?
