@moonman Take a look at https://nu.federati.net/conversation/343386 and let me know if I misrepresented your policies. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it gets irritating to hear that SPC is full of hateful people, while hateful people (from other instances) parade around the fediverse stirring up sh*t against random people.
-
@lnxw48a1 This is another context but a lot of gay rights movement problems have been subject to similar historical loss, when they aren't the subject of historical revisionism, and I've had people flat out tell me events in the local community I was present for and witnessed firsthand never happened.
-
@lain I've heard it'll grow if you rub it a little.
-
@lain I remember the wildfire. It was a year ago. One of my co-workers (a guy who is fairly "progressive" by most measures) was on vacation nearby. He and his family had to flee for their lives.
I guess we know how much "smarmy liberal elitists" care about other people's welfare, don't we?
-
@hyper --firefox uses sqlite.
I think all major browsers do. I read somewhere that one of the data storage APIs implicitly expects that sites' data is stored in a SQLite3 database.
-
@lain One is never done with all the (IRS and state) tax forms.
-
@lain That sounds like a US tax form. Is it the same in Germany?
-
I've made several references lately (on various accounts) to #monads' reputation for creating or attracting spittle-dribbling fanatics, usually seen when coming into contact with the #Haskell community.
I should make it clear that I'm not against either Haskell or monads. I'm just a little put off by adherents' fanaticism.
-
@clacke Is that to avoid the reputation of monads (they attract or create spittle-dribbling fanatics)?
-
Now why haven't I (re)subscribed to @bobjonkman yet?
-
@hyper @lain I just haven't had any use for it any more so I didn't look for it.
-
@lain At one time, SN and GS offered a sort of non-public account, where no one could "follow" without permission. I do not know whether that still exists in current GS.
-
@lain @dtluna Because they don't know that they have any other option. They are told that "you have to go to college to get a job" and "if your parents can't write a big check, you have to take out loans to go to college" ... faced with the prospect of never getting a job, they take the other choice they are offered.
-
Funny thing. I had to take "Perspectives on Gender" ... they taught me that everything wrong with the world was my fault as a straight male. Then I had to take "Race and Racism" and I learned that it wasn't really my fault because I'm a Black male.
Even on the same campus, they can't get their stories straight.

RE: https://pleroma.soykaf.com/notice/3600051
False. Social power is mostly situational. Thus, blacks can be racists like anyone else, as my mixed-race son and nephews would be quick to tell you about a certain family member who oppressed them for years.
What you're referring to is "institutionalized racism" ... where the most powerful group in society collectively exercises racism against less powerful groups. But to say that an individual or group of individuals doing the same things for the same reasons is or isn't racist based on whether the person/people committing the acts is part of the majority group or a minority group is not just wrong, it is EVIL, as it justifies racist acts by members of minority groups.
I needed to state that, but I do not want to be drawn into any of these multi-day arguments and name-calling. (Yes, I had to take "Race and Racism" at my university. Yes, they told us the same thing about power. But I've had decades of observing racists up close and personal inside my family. Black racism, Hispanic racism, [insert minority ethnic group here] racism exist and are just as evil as White racism or [insert majority ethnic group here] racism.)

@lain What were those people thinking? Bad idea.

@inso @aral @sydneyfalk I'm not sure using the term "brainless" is the best way of promoting one's preferred mode of networking.
-
... And I got an AOL account (like most people did back then) because they mailed me their software on CD every week. Remember staying up past 22:00 local time because that was when the dial-up line was less congested and you could get online and do what you needed to do?
