  • When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov

    Jump

  • To be clear: I don't know the paleontologist in question or what they did or didn't do. I don't even know my way around paleontology, aside from maybe the most basic education.

    If I were in that position I really would prefer not to have to message this individual (or travel to Iran, or ...) to do some digging. And I understand being wary of someone who does. But I don't quite understand how that is placed on the pedestal as being friends or otherwise well acquainted with a know child molester and trafficker. Were they friends? Sure, avoid the scientist whenever possible.

    But I do not see a fundamental wrong with asking nicely "Dear Mr., can I come and dig up your backyard because I think there are some important fossils?" Would it be wrong to dig up Charles Manson's back yard for that reason? State lands in Russa?

  • Pardon, I know I worded it poorly, but what I meant with the Russia example is that the damage done to society is relatively minor by visiting the country or island of a criminal (though not null), while the gain for science could be huge. Somewhat similar to how journalists travel to war zones or occupied territories and comply with local authority such as the Taliban to report on important issues or abuse. They engage with a regime, but for an important reason.

    I don't mind being wrong, I would like to understand the reasoning seemingly most people share in this case.

  • I think I am. Isn't the advancement of science more important than the shunning of criminals?

  • Quick question: Why am I a deplorable cunt if I want to look for fossils on a rapist's piece of land? Am I a war criminal if I want to dig for fossils in Russa?

  • I think this is still a majority opinion, but a lot of people don't exactly apply it uniformly. Lemmy (and Piefed, for that matter) is a bubble with a certain percentage of people who only consider this to hold true for people they consider "good".

    I've seen some, imo, very VERY deranged takes on here about who "deserves" or rather "lost" their human right privileges, be it police officers, politicians, or people who inherited or otherwise obtained a lot of money.

  • Nothing against you, but especially the last paragraph reads like the stuff I remember being said about a certain richest man in the world back then.

  • I read "athletes" at first and was like "woah there, I know they are obnoxious, but outing as trans because of fox?" and then I was very disappointed.

  • You see, in the Time before the Great Cucumber, Man could not shit, for Prometheus may have given him a Phallus for making love to other men (and, sometimes, procreation as these animals do). Prometheus may have given him buttocks to properly bounce back after every thrust. He may have given man the bipedal walk so that you may walk up to your lover in essentially every setting so that he may receive you in standing, lying, or kneeling. But Prometheus had not considered that from all this, the bowel had become convoluted and tight (which felt nice), too tight to properly shit.

    You see, in ancient times man stored his shit in a discus which was the ideal shape to dry and throw it at people you dislike and to appease the gods who found that really funny. But before doing so, one would have to shit it out first which proved to be nay impossible. So the Great Cucumber saw this and said "A discus is not a shit shape. A penis, that's a proper shit shape for you.". And he took the shit and formed it as such, that man could launch it from the deepest of bowels with the force of an angry demigod, or he could take it into his hand and toss it at whoever dishonored the gods. All because the shit was shaped like man's phallus and could properly fit between his cheeks, for it was shaped to this purpose.

    And the gods saw that and saw that man would throw his digested as javelin upon each other and they were furious, for a javelin was not a discus. And for shitting after eating two bowls of Mediterranean food produced such a girth that man would scream and yell for days in joy when casting his next javelin, and the pleasure was such that he became sated and preferred to lay with (weak, not covered in discusses) women. And the great Zeus was angry, for now man was competing with him and fewer women willingly came to him. And so Olympus said "You who have done this great misdeed, forever be formed in the wretched way you have brought upon this world, and have your shit cause you pain, not pleasure!" .

  • Are you sure about that? I do hope you ban people equating the holocaust and the Uyghur genocide (or the holodomor, or the disenfranchisement of other non-Han chinese peoples and cultures, or ...) to a piece of bird shit.
