  • Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?

  • Show me an example of where a man wanting to have sex for the sake of having sex - not to get a girlfriend or live happily ever after - is framed as a legitimate goal which should be supported by the people around him, and which is not seen as a farce.

    Why?

    Why do we have to endorse this as a positive model?

    When I was a boy a lot of boys liked to torture animals for fun, I don't understand why we don't endorse that as role model behavior either?!?!

  • Doing normal boy stuff, like roughing each other up and messing with your friends got me and other boys detention, and it felt extremely unfair.

    I'm sure it did.

    Bullies always feel victimized when anyone stops them.

    For work only and absolutely nothing else.

    It's great for that, standardized and effectively quarantined from the rest of my OS, but I also know when I'm using the wrong browser and jump back to FF when it matters.

  • Lemm.ee is my favorite, but the upload limit is low.

  • It has some wobbly bits, but it really exposes the most powerful parts of linux.

    And it's still somehow more user friendly than basically anything else in linux. Or windows for that matter.

  • So, I love Debian, and it's an excellent distro.

    But personally something like suse makes more sense, it's more user friendly and is so German it's painful.

  • We were in this position before, a period of even greater division, even to the point of violence.

    Our mistake was not teaching the fascist confederates the price of evil.

  • Would you report a loved one for a serious non-violent offence? Why or Why not?

    Jump

  • Not unless it was weird or something.

    Violent offense?

    Probably not, unless I thought he might hurt another person who was innocent. Then I'd have to think about it.

    Maybe an exception for like a mass shooting, I think I might turn them in for everyone's safety, because if the cops found them on their own things might get bad. Hard part is working out how to do it safely.

    If it was a one -off and the victim deserved it? I have no idea what you're talking about.

  • If you knew the internet was going to be shutdown, damaged, or colossally enshittified what software would you archive for use locally and use for a neighborhood/town mesh network? Why?

    Jews Have Religious Right to Genocide, Says Israeli Supreme Court

    Jump

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citizens_of_Israel?wprov=sfla1

    I have to fact check this, it's a clear lie.

    In the wake of the 1948 Palestine war, the Israeli government conferred Israeli citizenship upon all Palestinians who had remained or were not expelled. However, they were subject to discrimination by being placed under martial law until 1966, while other Israeli citizens were not. In the early 1980s, Israel granted citizenship eligibility to the Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the Syrian citizens of the Golan Heights by annexing both areas, though they remain internationally recognized as part of the Israeli-occupied territories, which came into being after the Six-Day War of 1967. Acquisition of Israeli citizenship in East Jerusalem has been scarce, as only 5% of Palestinians in East Jerusalem were Israeli citizens in 2022, largely due to Palestinian society's disapproval of naturalization as complicity with the occupation. After the Second Intifada, the opposition loosened, but Israel made the process more difficult, approving only 34% of new Palestinian applications.[citation needed]

    According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, the Israeli Arab population stood at 2.1 million people in 2023, accounting for 21% of Israel's total population. The majority of these Arab citizens identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and as Israeli by citizenship. They mostly live in Arab-majority towns and cities, some of which are among the poorest in the country, and generally attend schools that are separated to some degree from those attended by Jewish Israelis. Arab political parties traditionally did not join governing coalitions until 2021, when the United Arab List became the first to do so. The Druze and the Bedouin in the Negev and the Galilee have historically expressed the strongest non-Jewish affinity to Israel and are more likely to identify as Israelis than other Arab citizens.

    There are a lot of parallels to apartheid, but it's somewhere between.

    I think a closer parallel could be Ireland under Cromwell, which is still not a good model.

  • No - stop - reality does matter and you shouldn't encourage people who spread misinformation even if they agree with you.

    Thank you!

  • Fine.

    One fought for slavery, one didn't.

    One had Jim crow, one didn't.

    One was called a model for Germany to follow and was where the Nuremberg Laws were copied from and one wasn't.

    One is absolutely and irredeemably evil, and one isn't.

    Easy comparison.

  • No, they don't.

    They want to keep things as they are, and I think they should be allowed to within some restricted parameters.

    If they were racist it would be one thing, but they generally aren't, not are they significantly homophobic, they just want everyone to stfu and sit the fuck down.

    The south, BTW, is INSANELY homophobic, still. Homosexuality is still a sin against God and while the risk of violence has decreased (in the 90s gay people were considered outside of the protection of the law, so if you beat one up, wellx shit happens, now you just tell the same jokes).

    Never compare the Midwest and the south. One is just a bunch of people trying to be left alone and get by.

    The other are literally the ones who Hitler cited in main kampf as the model Germany must follow, and where the Nuremberg Laws came from.

    They're genuine monsters ,the kind of people Americans used to claim to fight, and they will drag us back to their level because they're cheap, stupid votes.

    When they start the next civil war (and they will, it's in their nature, you keep taking until you're stopped, that's the definition of strength), then we can finally fix this centuries long open wound that has been a cancer on this country.

    Edit: forgot their rampant misogyny.

  • Midwest is ABSOLUTELY not about hate.

    They just want to be left the fuck alone.

    Southwest wants them gone.

    The south wants Jim crow back, where they can beat, torture and kill brown people with impunity.

    Not that they can't do that now, law enforcement sure won't look closely.
