Israel =/= Judaism
There are Jews who don't like the government of Israel, and Israelis critical of their own country.
Regardless of the debate of whether admins should be legally liable for not deleting unknown child abuse digital files,
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think seeing a small number of pictures is going to scar you for life. I’ve seen goatse. I’ve seen people decapitated. It’s not pleasant, and I avoid those things, but it’s not scarring.
You shouldn't use your own experiences to make this generalisation, given that people working at agencies prosecuting pederasts often have to receive therapy or even leave the job after continued exposure.
I am disturbed that people are afraid of unused images hiding on their Lemmy server.
Don't you think it's logical for someone to be worried about being vulnerable to being accused of what likely is, in many legal systems, a crime?
The only thing they do with any competence is traffic control.
They do? If that was the case, wouldn't they actually do something with the rampant amount of bikes without mufflers?
Calling dibs on a hot, sexy body of flesh.
But can the velociraptors be pets?
Making such reasonable and well thought comments under the name "Prager U" should be a crime.
Lemmy devs may have controversal political views, but their software is written with a good intention. KiwiFarms on the other hand use it to target instances.
Let's go even further than that. Let's say that the most annoying people around the whole Fediverse are Hexbear. On the worst days, all they do is to organize to spam specific threads, which is indeed annoying, but that's the extent of it. KiwiFarms is responsible for harassing people until they commit suicide for the heinous crime of being weird. Anyone aware of this who wants to associate with them has no place in civilized society.

You are never going to have competetent management when they're forced to follow unrealistic goals due to political reasons.
Excuse me, I'm not socially awkward, I've got Ass Burger Syndrome 😤
OK FINE, I ADMIT IT, IT WAS ME. I'M SORRY, I WAS HUNGRY 😭😭😭

But you don't see, comrade!!!!! We must tactically support the weaker evil that is defending values even more contrary to our own in this conjuncture where they're provoking perfectly avoidable, immense human suffering!!!! If we didn't, perhaps I'd have to question if my previously held positions were actually the rational conclusion to my core philosophical values, rather than contrarian posturing!!!1!! ::: spoiler spoiler (Also I'm scared that everyone else might look at me funny for saying something that the libs say or that the mods might remove me, but do not say this aloud) :::
The fire in the north of the island started Tuesday night and has forced the evacuation or confinement of nearly 8,000 people
From a different source in Spanish, updated yesterday: https://www.eldiario.es/canariasahora/sociedad/tenerife-no-descansa-espera-lluvia-milagrosa-despierto-hora-ver-avanza-fuego_1_10454461.html
It is a sixth generation wildfire never seen before in Canarias, a consequence of climate change: "The island has gone through a very important rainfall deficit and a heatwave without precedents."
The fire has ravaged over 8400 hectares. The fire has reached an extension of 70km long perimeter since last Thursday, and has forced over 12600 people out of their homes.
Absolutely based.
The Torah and the Bible already have weird sex stuff in it. There's relatively explicit stuff like the Song of Songs, but then again you also have weird nonsensical incest such as the daughters who get their father drunk to rape him for no reason whatsoever, which you cannot convince me wasn't written because some Israeli writer was horny. Just people writing about weird kinks like we've seen people do ever since the internet went live, except that the fellas making up the religion needed texts to add to the lore and said "Fuck it, let's get this one in too".
What I'm saying is that you just have to be born at the right historical time to get your kinks made part of religious canon.

You have to drop the fake humility after years and years of continuously being disappointed everywhere you go.

The wiser people are so full of doubts because we are wise.
Prior to WWII, there were a lot of different conflicts where most of the main actors in WWII were involved. Spanish civil war with the coupists supported by the nazis, Germany annexing Austria and Czechia, Russia trying to occupy Finland, Italy doing whatever the fuck Italy was doing... Of course, that doesn't mean that a world war is a necessary conclusion, but I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking it's a hint.
If the citizens supported getting the president out, why not vote for it? Coups in democracies are almost always the instrument of those who cannot win elections.
With the emergence of LLM “AI”, everyone will have to learn what many disabled people have always understood
Crosspost from: https://lemmy.world/post/2776711
While the main focus of the article is actually human perceptions of AI, it also delves into the perception of the majority of people regarding those who cannot communicate in a socially accepted way.
YSK that your power in a negotiation falls down quickly the more dependent you are on the result of the negotiation
This is a very basic fact of life that everyone should learn in school:
If you are forced to accept the bare minimum that is put on the table, your capacity to say no quickly crashes down, to the point that you may be vulnerable to accept a very unfavorable deal.
A scenario where the vast majority of us might find this reality at some point through our lives is the labor market. Whether you are applying for a job, or requesting a raise or a promotion, you are only going to have leverage to get the company to offer you a better deal if you have better opportunities on the table. In socioeconomic contexts where wages are depressed, this is usually not the case. This means that, for a lot of people, accepting a very bad offer means the difference between living a miserable life with a roof over your head and becoming homeless, so they do virtually have no choice but to accept, which only becomes more apparent if they have family members who depend on them.
It is interesting to note tha
Standing up for your values might be decided to be a pathology - If you're autistic
This article picks apart a bunch of biases by the researchers of a given paper. The object of study was the differences in behavior between a group of autistic people and a group of non-autistic people when choosing between prioritizing value for oneself or value for the community.
I recommend reading the paper itself too. If that is, understandably, too much for you, I suggest you go for the introduction, the conclusion, and the segments mentioned in the article.

Autism as a diagnosis VS autism as a neurotype
They are not the same thing, even if a lot of people try to use them both interchangeably.
The modern form of autism as a diagnosis is born in the 1930s, when behaviorism is a dominant force in psychology. Behaviorism seemed pretty useful back then: while you can break a steam engine down to its individual pieces and study them individually, the study of the human brain presents 'a few' more difficulties. In that context, studying a person's behavior and their reactions to different interactions and environments did beat all other alternatives. The problem is that it's still a pretty limited approach. Is this person breaking down because they're tired? Or because they're sick? Or do they want to draw attention, or did they have a tough day before coming here, or are trying to manipulate their way out of-? You cannot truly know from the lenses of behaviorism, because you cannot (or could not) study the mind's internal state. However, the people working in the field still needed to just

Paris Expo, 1937
On the eve of WWII, Paris hosted the 1937 Expo, and the USSR and Nazi Germany had their exhibitions placed on front of each other.
The German pavillon was crowned by an eagle holding a swastika, symbolizing the authocratic nature of the regime, while the Soviet one had a man and a woman standing together and holding a hammer and sickle, with both pavillons ultimately appearing to be opposing each other.
Neither of them could have asked for a better vehicle to represent the narratives they were constructing for their own governments.
