Are you upset?

Could you whine less? I like the positive energy of this place and you are ruining my vibes.

My husband who i can take to anywhere i like.

your comment is painful

Thank you

Dollar Tree has a lot of budget options in the toy section.

It really is amazing to me that lemmy suddenly has an army of anti linux shills on it. Idk what the purpose of that even is.

I could see trying to change someones mind if you knew them closely, but otherwise its a waste of time. Racism and homophobia have social value because it isolates people they dont like. That is why they are open with their racism. If you try to change their mind, then not only will they not change their mind, not only will they report you to HR for harassing them, and not only will the homophobe running HR think youre a pussy, but a conga line of ugly fucking orcs is going to want to fight you now.

Its interesting you bring up the KKK, because its exactly that sort of prejudice i bring up. If you see one person say something that shocking and nobody is shocked, then they all agree. You can either realize that YOU are the outcast removed boy, or you can quit your job. If you fight it because youre the next Martin Luther King, then youll just get a bunch of harassment before you get tired and quit.

Ive lost so mqny great jobs because i thought id be openly gay in an industrial setting. Its not worth it, and neither is saying anything when cletus and jimbob are laughing about putting all thr trans people in a lathe along with the foreman. (Imagine their fake tits exploding when they hit the ground, and their wieners getting stuck in the bar! Herrherr herr herr. )

Now i keep my mouth shut and respect the fact that rednecks are subhumans that should all just be shot when they think these things. Sin e imtoo much of a pussy to go on a killing spree, i guess i just have to sit and get fucked, like how you should.

I basically write about slavery and oppression so maybe my job gives me inspiration because it is backbreaking labor.

It really seems like a distinction without a difference since its on their site. The capital is going to be where the supporters of the old regime are. Its a biased poll designed to get a result in favor of the old government and it failed.

Sure :)

Here is an image of the poll https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b4bd0c20-8521-465f-955e-522fd5a3abfc.png

Here is the actual article, but you’d have to pay the Economist to see the whole thing. https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/08/07/after-nigers-coup-the-drums-of-war-are-growing-louder

Upon actually finding the specific poll I was talking about, it is actually that the vast majority of people in Niger feel the coup should remain in power, which is technically not the same thing as saying they wanted it to happen. However you can look around and find that support for the coup is very high. Niger’s government was not popular. Only 21% of people polled by this very hostile to the coup source wanted the old president to be restored to power.

My understanding is that the majority of the population supports the coup even when the poll is done by biased media opposed to the coup like the Economist or Forbes. If the majority of people supported overthrowing the government then it doesn’t seem like an actual democracy. At least, its not something imposed on the people against their will.

I guess its a matter of perspective where if you care about the will of the people or if you care about power being transfered via elections even if the elections aren’t for anyone who represents the people. I definatley don’t like the second option but some people do feel that way I suppose.

Why does China not have as many of these events? Is India maybe more rural than China, or is it some kind of law thing like Florida?

Your explanation is very consise, but i dont undsrstand why people arent as commonly doing attrocities to women in China.

I guess it is possible that its the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, but the current government of China isnt a fan of that era of Maos policies.

I just used an old computer, filled it with hard drives, and ran Samba. The config file has to be edited once and its a little cryptic but its a low maitenance thing.

With samba im able to access it on all my linux machines and my husband can use his windows laptop to watch movies from it.

I wrote a few scripts that are really just fancy aliases to quickly change directory to the files from my main computer using ssh.

My main computer has no gui and im using a terminal right now to read lemmy. ^_

I use ubuntu on it so it has a gui if i need one.

Thats not how the real world works anywhere but an office. I once did what you said at a construction site and became known as “sjw removed” as opposed to my real name. My crime is that i didnt want to work next to a guy that refused to call me anything but “the homosexual” and made political jabs all day. I wasnt asking for him to be fired. I just wanted to be on a different crew. My boss made extra sure his was the only crew i worked on. DO NOT tell your manager. If you are being bullied at work then its already bad enough that your boss will only make it worse.

I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.

I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.

Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.

Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.

Its not that you dont agree. Its not that you dont understand. You dont want to understand.

Go out and talk to a homeless person and ask him what he thinks of rehab or the local homeless shelter. Actually talking to people will influence your opinion to be less condescending.

An insane homeless addict is still better off smoking crack with his elemental dwarf pals in an appartment than an alley.
