Yep. You described a state I'd like - lower quality of life for some, massive increase for nearly everyone else. But you are also right, the people with power aren't ever going to vote for that. So I focus on my scale.…
Inefficient, probably, but remember that you are operating within a system where people need to shop for a deal. There are other systems one can consider. And don't think of community as a single local place, but rather…
Israel has deployed more explosive munitions by tonnage on the Gaza Strip than were deployed in the entirety of world war 2. In an area smaller than Seattle, with four times the density of civilians and a huge…
It's really important to differentiate mutual aid from charity. They are very different. Mutual aid is about building community and then sharing your excess with that community. My extra food is not going to random…
Maybe read better news? I've been hearing about the Yazidi through reporting on the YPJ/YPG since circa 2015. But I think theres multiple factors happening. One is scale. Millions of Palestinians are currently…
I've fed and housed people for decades, provided transportation, donated skills, and rehabilitated wild lands. The people who receive the benefits from that didn't do anything to get them. They simply needed them. If I…
I can tell you are unable to approach this topic rationally. No one made the claim this is the worse genocide ever. It does not need to rise to that bar to be a genocide. Your hyperbole is not a good faith effort to…
I would. I regularly do. One of the underpinning core beliefs of anarchist theory is "wellbeing for all". Every human deserves the best conditions we can collectively give each other, and we should all be working not…
You two are using different definitions for "can". You are using it in the "is it probable or realistic to expect it" sense and the parent poster is using it in the "is it mechanically possible" sense. I think it's…
Anti imperialist and anti capitalist sentiment gets downvoted here without a doubt. I think the idea that it's bots and not, say, a community that has self selected mostly into people who are pro imperialist and pro…
Right, it's not constrained to Gaza. The genocide against Palestinian people is occurring across the nation of Israel.
No disagreement from me.
You think the average person has the infrastructure and the relationship with customs and the DEA that FedEx and ups do?
I think you are being too glib. The trust model is really different for small packages. Housing small amounts of drugs in objects is way easier and more likely than wrecking someone's airbnb. And the consequences are…
I ride my cargo bike to Costco. I can fit a full shopping cart on it, getting enough for a family of three regularly and easily. With a small hatchback car I could easily fit way more. If I had a convenient train I'd…
Negligible. You'd be a fool to apply. Let alone accept.
Lol. Gross. Weird comment.
They fired talented engineers and technologists because they were trans. It's not a meritocracy right now. Good people were fired based on their identity alone.
Kamala was vocal about refusing to defend Gazans. It swung the needle for many. It's not the only thing that swing the needle, but it was significant.
You haven't been paying attention. And that's ok. Obama was destroying families, and killing peoples, he just did it out of sight with a charming smile. You think people deported by him didn't die as a result? You think…
Policing is not a particularly dangerous job, police are people with fragile egos. Cops are violent towards their intimate partners at a rate many many many times typical. Something like 25-40% of cops are abusers.…
Sounds like a really bad strategy for a security email address...
Not sufficient, unfortunately. The strings for file paths are stored in wholly different infrastructure with wholly different optimizations. It probably lives in your database. You really don't want people just stuffing…
Unlimited strings are a problem. People will use it as storage. No, I'm not joking. We used to allow arbitrary paths in a cloud API I owned. Within about a month someone had figured out that the cost to store a single…
I guess there's a point where that's arguably true. But it's not correct universally, and it's certainly not true if you look at earth and the sun. The heat generated within the earth comes from nuclear decay and the…
