Despite all my rage I'm still a rat refreshing this page.
I use arch btw
Credibly accused of being a fascist, liberal, commie, anarchist, child, boomer, pointlessly pedantic, a Russian psychological warfare operative, and db0's sockpuppet.

Yes, that is the only explanation
Well, right now I'm looking at the writings of someone who's imagination is drier than a dead dingos donger.
POV: You're a billionaire who just sealed the doors to your bunker complex
This is the least insightful thing I've read online this year.
What are you talking about? It's not necessary or even advisable to come up with all your own ideas or develop thinking from first principles.
Ignoring prior art is just sabotaging the quality of your ideas, and it is unhelpful to groups if some members do not educate themselves. If I want to start a farm to feed people the people that are most useful are those that know a bit about growing food.
If you want to change society it is good to listen to the arguments for how and why it might be changed made by other people. Especially those which lots of people who want to change society in similar ways found useful or convincing.
Pretty similar, I had forgotten the name of Jess's book. I think hers focuses more on legal stuff in Australia iirc and less on the personal psychology but it's there too.
They're both using the same body of knowledge.
So if you read that book, or look into any of the research behind DV you will learn that it's not really a problem women can confront at the source because the psychology behind it is one which fundamentally views women as inferior. In the same way if someone is racist somebody from a group they hate is unlikely to meet with much success trying to change their views (at best probably getting recognition as "one of the good ones") women talking to men about why we're actually whole-arse people doesn't work very well.
Aside from trying in vain to get men to learn literally anything about why DV happens and why they can actually make a massive difference talking to their mates and setting norms for acceptable ideas about women at work/at the gym/at the club etc it's not really in my means to donate to a shelter or whatever. I do volunteer for the greens around elections.
That said, being a woman in society there's the sort of basic keeping an eye on things. Making a point to chat with neighbours, hosting drinks, sharing food etc that gives you a bit of a chance to have a network of support for people, victims tend to hide the harm believing themselves to be at fault so there's not a good chance you'll actually know. You can call a welfare check on a house if you hear a nasty fight but it's unlikely to do much.
The left doesn't want you to know this but 100% of leftist women are dommes
I do note an interesting difference in your approach to how to handle DV vs how to handle someone stringing a wire across a bike path. It may be a contradiction you wish to reflect on.
You might want to read this book to get a better idea behind the psychology of DV.
I'm not trying to have a go, I'm trying to understand. I agree that feeling shut out and having people say awful stuff because of your gender is bad. Surely you see that women deal with this too right though? and extremely extensively.
If you look at the upper echelons of society women are not there, if you look at the trades women aren't respected, in corporate life women routinely feel like they have to get a man to say their ideas to be taken seriously. When I worked tech support I signed my emails with a man's name because otherwise customers argued with me (this wasn't me being ridiculous, my boss asked me to start doing it because he got annoyed reading the tickets going overtime).
So it's like, surely having experienced some of it you get that all of it is bad right? You wouldn't arrive at men being under attack, but rather gender equality being important so nobody feels this way.
It’s not like we’re choosing to let domestic violence to continue. We’re just as powerless as anyone else.
I think this is really interesting, who do you think can?
It's also true that male loneliness is pretty significant, and lonely guys are more prone to developing extreme and hateful views but the only people that can do anything about man to man friendships are other men.
There are some fantastic initiatives like lens sheds that are trying to knit a healthy social structure and almost nobody participates in them.
“but you are a white man, you can’t help anyone” or something of the like. Really sticks with you.
That's a silly thing to say but it also sounds like it came from the mouth of a teenager? Teenagers say lots of dumb stuff I wouldn't recommend forming societal views based on them.
Most women have had the experience of being humiliated sexually, and belittled intellectually by young men. Do you feel that women should feel like we're under attack?
This is what confuses me. I am mostly a lesbian but have dated men a few times. I never resented their traits I would consider manly.
My sisters are married to men and they seem to enjoy the fact that they're men. They expect their partner to be sensitive, tactful, and mature but that is a basic expectation of every adult and not hard to meet.
My dad is a man, he's extremely handy and always willing to show us the ropes of some task or help out with his knowledge. That seems like masculinity to me.
I don't understand what men feel like they're not allowed to do that is "being a man". I get some stuff like roided up beauty standards are ridiculous but every human alive deals with impossible celebrity beauty.
Could you just summarise it because a video is sort of an inaccessible format for public text discussion?
which state election? Or do you mean federal 3 years ago?
“middle path of masculinity”, between the “emasculated” and “browbeaten” male of the far left and the Tate-like women haters and “pickup artists” of the far right.
“We want to foster the good side [of masculinity],” he says. “Which is being on the mission, wanting to be strong, being something of a warrior, but also being the good man, the loving husband, the loving partner, the good father”
“There is a vitriol against that idea[...]"
If you ask most people who allegedly want to brow beat men what "good masculinity" is you would probably get stuff like:
This guy is claiming men are attacked for wanting to be strong, loving, a good father, and 'something of a warrior'
Idk what the last means but I basically only see men attacked for
Which uh, notably aren't in his list of reason men are attacked. So I want to ask what men's opinions are.
Not actually true anymore but they're not very performant.
Fine for a handgun to kill someone up close with, but it's not like making a machine to dohickey someone a la Abe is very difficult.

Racist attacks against someone with the goal of excluding them from power are violence.
Pauline is a piece of human filth, I struggle to imagine an australian less worthy of life.
Realistically I'll have to look into this before trusting a random comment and I probably wont because it's half the world away from me and he's dead anyway.
I am sure there is some subtly in personal culpability though because between Mao and peasants killing birds was a whole bureaucracy that evidentally thought it was worth doing (and idk how much is slavish obedience/fear).
Temujin personally killed a lot of people. Like personally ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and his overall campaign was ~10% of human population at the time an estimated 40 million, which seems to be comparable to famine figures even if we personally blame both of them. Dude was a certified maniac and I think that especially given the overall lower population at the time and deliberate murderous intentions stands as histories greatest monster and most murderous person.
Like personally? I often feel like attributing famines solely to one person is a bit messed up, although there are cases like Bengal where specific government individuals were enthusiastic .
The party later distanced themselves from him somewhat, so presumably they thought his ideas could be improved on but I had thought a lot of china and USSR famines rested on really dumb ideas about industrial agriculture that were popular in many places + officials hiding bad numbers + desperate need to show immediate superiority of alledgedly better numbers + upheavals of massive civil was and ww2.
temujin? who claims he's leftist?
Lemmy world vegan community - Future of community update
Hi all, I'm one of the mods that apparently caused lemmy.world to melt down for two weeks. It's a lovely sunny Sunday arvo, and I'd much rather go catch the last rays of sun in my garden than write about mod drama. Alas, I must have sinned in a past life.
Today the lemmy.world admins made a follow up post about the incident where the admin Rooki interfered with moderation of this community in a way which was determined to be against lemmy.world TOS and factually incorrect. Throughout this incident there has been no communication with me, nor to my knowledge any of of the other moderators of this community. Rooki quitely undid his actions and edited his post to admit fault however there was no public acknowledgement of this from him. In fact I wasn't even told I was reinstated as a mod which is quite funny.
The lemmy.world admins' response appears more focused on managing their own reputations and justifying similar actions in the future than providing a good environment for vegans, a
ABC article alleges caucus concern over Fatima Payma being "guided by god". Smells of a character assassination to me.
The West Australian senator has told colleagues she is seeking religious guidance on her next move but is expected to make a decision on quitting her party today.
This is fucked reporting right? The quote they use as evidence is her saying something is "in God's hands". Elsewhere articles are run using quotes of her praying to god.
This is like, extremely normal lexicon for even casually religious people right? I'm an atheist with a pretty negative view of religion and to me this looks like pearl clutching.
Lots of extremely normal people say "I am praying for guidance" when they're reflecting on something. That in isolation doesn't mean they expect a hedge to catch fire and tell them what to do...
If our standard is pollies never mention religion then we might want to do some stuff about the Lord's prayer, the oaths, and the magical mace of the Royal cult.
Old, but we all have to learn these.

Things I've learned since going vegan
Why is it called the skibidi tree?
Is it a lore reference to a toilet? Hinting at some of the late game of elden ring being shit?
The premier's apology for harms to LGBT people is belied by their reluctance to take action on NSW's barbaric gender change policy.
NSW still requires surgeries that are often unwanted, complex, and have mixed results (particularly for ftm patients, unless they opt for steralisation instead which might count. mtf steralisation is mandatory), and tremendously expensive (not covered by medicare, in fact barely offered in australia at all especially for ftm people).
Further if you are fortunate enough to be able to do this you are required to be inspected by two unrelated medical professionals. I went through that process and it was the most humiliating moment of my life.
This policy is out of line with policy adopted by the federal government over a decade ago now, and is similar to policies previously enacted by Sweden and The Netherlands. Policies which they are currently apologising for and paying re-compensation to transgender people harmed by them.
Having ID which identifies someone as transgender causes ongoing dysphoria which runs contrary to treatment recommended by health professionals while exposing some
Sorry commies, capitalists beat you to landlord hate!
Cold dogs: Icecream in an edible sleave on a bun
Marketing campaign involves targetting usaians insecure about a lack of nationalism in their desert choices. Claim icecream sandwiches are effete and European while hot dogs symbolise freedom and the rags to riches stuff.
3d printed jig for assembling LED cube layers
Includes a little jig off the side to bend the leads regularly, and holds the LEDs in consistent orientation using the cathode cutaway on the rim.
Designed by my lovely wife.
btw It is food safe to drink coffee next to 3d printed parts nerds ;)
P.S. this filament is awful, filamentium pla. The worst thing I've used since early reprap days when variability was high.
Any ideas what's causing that "shadowing" between the holes? those parts printed last I think but at the same speed/ironing pattern etc as the more matte parts between.
pretty basic but I made myself a less mess espresso basket prep ring thing.
It'a detained by magnets so it doesn't get in the basket and interfere with spreading out the grounds. Needs a clean up with a lick of sandpaper, pretty stupid but these things cost like 50 bucks /shrug
EDIT: appreciate all the concern for my health, it touches dry coffee grounds. I agree that if it got wet there'd be health problems but unless it gets real humid there's just no opportunity for decay. As for random leaching same diff, without heat and wet it's not really a concern.
That said I probably will seal an improved design, this is just a test piece.
Raytheon Rulebranded again
I'm sorry for making this.
Echoing my post on masto: Does asafoetida smell amazing to you?
Does asafoetida smell amazing to you? and if yes do you consider yourself someone with an accurate sense of smell (e.g. identify if someone needs dental work in a conversation, smell who someone has been hanging out with, identify spices and herbs used in a meal with high accuracy, identify the perfume someone wears etc)
The most annoying rule
A straw is just a stretched doughnut.
New Zealand researchers say changing weather dynamics could be influencing the formation of larger holes in Antarctica's ozone layer, but others debate the new study's findings.
Seems more related to air movement maybe than depletion of ozone. Still, the possibility is a bummer
Diving back in after a hiatus. What's good fun in a Savage good biome?
Obviously giant creature war breeding is the goal. Any great candidates that are from good biomes for taming?
Do cavern invaders still cause save corruption/become completely unmanageable?
Also since it's been a long time I'm thinking of setting a lower population limit and taking my time. Do any of you have recommended settings for enemy invasions etc based in a ~50 dwarf cap?
I've gone with super terminal heavy setups for years. If I want to dip my toes into a more GUI oriented setup what's your rec?
I've got a refurbed thinkpad yoga in the mail. It's a stylus oriented laptop so I need to change the software I use to be more clicky.
For years I've favoured stuff like netctl, xrandr, xbacklight etc etc over GUI alternatives and usually gone for very minimal WM setups (e.g. dwm).
For obvious reasons this would be actual hell with a stylus in tablet mode, but it's been around 15 years since I last had a clicky linux setup and I'm really lost as to how to set one up on arch. What do you folks recommend for laptops?
EDIT: update for wayward souls. Went with plasma, less works nicely out of the box but gnome hung occasionally on a 2019 yoga x1. There's a lot about plasma I would say is annoying but configuring it is vastly easier than gnome.
Share your warm up and your stretches? This is knowledge I can be trusted with
Silly title aside what do you do to warm up and if you do any stretching for mobility after a run what are they?
I confess to being extremely lazy. My idea of a warm up is just running a bit easier than normal and the only stretch I do is foam roll my calves and stretch out the old hams on a wall.
Every time I look up articles you get insane fitness blogs regurgitating the same 3 page "easy" routine that you absolutely must do all of or you will definitely die.
So what do actual other human beings do? Come, share your wisdom or commiserate in haphazardness.
Lawyers for stateless Rohingya refugee seek to overturn 20-year-old precedent that allows those who can’t be deported to be kept in detention
This should be an interesting case to watch. It seems on it's face something utterly inhumane and so it will be important to know whether it is considered legitimate.
Share your techniques for maintaining motivation when recovering from injuries
I started running about a year ago. No specific goals just for fun, was making good progress till I got up to being able to run about 7 km 5 days a week no problem.
Unfortunately a series of health problems lead to getting really out of condition and I'm dealing with some knee tendonitis due to irresponsibility when doing strength training.
Now I'm gasping after 3 km and having to carefully pace myself to avoid aggravating the knee while I build it back up.
On one hand I know that a lot of the long term adaption isn't totally gone, that I'm not starting from zero. When I started I would throw up after running a block.
On the other hand it's demotivating as fuck putting in so much effort to hobble through stuff that recently was relaxing.
I'm obviously not the first person or the last to deal with this so I'm asking if you could share times when you've dealt with recovering and what kept you going.
