if i had a penny for every time a neocon accused me of being ‘uncivil’ right before and after casually dropping a slur…

i already have a pet theory:
now, the booster doesn’t need to be good. it would just be really funny if the immaterial benefit of saving the children turns out to be materially beneficial in an almost eviler way than forsaking the children for the antitank mines. (pls give fire resistance)
now, if the booster is bad, that would be thrice as funny: antitank mines forsook and children sacrificed, for shitty research that amounted to nothing really helpful.
this all could also explain how they’ve managed to survive so long.
the main three solutions i have to #2 are: RSS; userscript; or blocking the OP. i already use RSS a lot, but RSS clients can be arcane to customise the way i want, and i don’t like following aggregators from my aggregator. i’m satisfied with the official web UI.
really looking forward to the post hiding and vote display changes
thanks for the heads up!
you mean the migration ‘crisis’ and collapse in ‘“living” standards’ which were brought on by US-EU neoliberalism driving down the standard of living in other parts of the world before coming home to roost?
there are certainly ways of reversing direction, but people in the core would sooner choose literal fascism before giving up their imperial lifestyle. they use the IMF to politically terraform ‘underdeveloped nations’ and export their own harms so they can say they’re ‘meeting climate goals’, and then complain about all the emissions and migrants coming from those countries which are ravaged to supply their hyperconsumption. the same migrants which predominantly staff their service, medical and technology sectors to prop up their precious treats and their oh-so superior ‘knowledge economies’.
voting for fascism is the individualistic choice which lets them keep their treats and means they don’t need to interact with their neighbours or advocate for real change. it’s easier to blame the victims of their actions than to cut the DARVO shit and accept responsibility.
whoops, i forgot i have lemmy.world blocked. i don’t see comments or posts from that instance.
still tho, i wasn’t getting the undiscovered 404 on dbzer0.
i don’t know about lemdroid. federation could be backlogged for aforementioned reasons.
the link you gave works fine for me in Firefox: clicking, dragging or pasting. the 404 likely indicates that lemdroid hasn’t discovered that community yet; probably because it’s still waiting to finish asking lemmy.world about it.
how do I interact with a community I cannot connect to?
are you using the website, or an app? i can see the community, but not the posts (presumably because they aren’t synced) (forgot i have lemmy.world blocked).
do you not see the community landing page at all? is there no ‘subscribe’ button? subscribing is the best way to trigger the sync job; i could try doing it for you, but i want to see if it’s possible for you to do it first.
if you’re the first person from your instance to interact with a remote community, it takes a moment for it to sync.
also keep in mind that lemmy.world is too fucking big, so they’re very slow to talk to.
think disallowing votes (down or both) from non-subscribers would defeat the point of the all feed, which to me is to display the most active/interesting posts on the Fediverse right now. You can’t have that if it is only community subscribers that vote.
isn’t this what ‘scaled’ sorting is / could be for?
what a harmful, elitist, high technocratic, economistic, no-true-scotsman take: someone who doesn’t view the world in pure quantitative terms and understand precisely a dialect of jargon has no valuable insight?
why ‘productivity’ specifically? why not GDP? or GPI? or SPI? or HDI? or HPI? or GBMI (Goodhart’s Bad Metric Index)?
you’re right that this character wouldn’t be part of a ‘solution’, under current conditions, because it would be formulated by a well-funded political thinktank, specialising in number-go-big policy, tacked to the end of a dredged report with absolutely no involvement from measly imperial subjects.
this assumes that:
with the increase in ‘productivity’ over the last century, if we reduced our expectations, and stopped letting monopoly money run our entire society, and stopped burning surplus resources because it’s ‘unsold’ or would drive down prices: we wouldn’t need to work even 20% what is expected of us now.
this assumes that:
the natural gas situation wouldn’t have been avoided if Europe were more ‘competitive’; neither would any other geopolitical situation. instead the EU should have — and is currently — diversifying its domestic energy sources. the EU could also work on energy coöperation and reducing energy usage.
interdependence works for everyone. independence is a destructive mindset.
no, it’s called information literacy and recognising insincerity. what you’re doing is called deflection and splitting.
believe it or not: one does not have to pick which colour empire they like best, because one does not have to like an empire at all. no one is forcing you to consume hypocritical fearbait.

hmmm, i wonder if this ‘researcher’ for a warhawk and Israeli lobbying organisation is trustworthy!
FDD was founded shortly after the September 11 attacks in 2001. In the initial documents filed for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service, FDD’s stated mission was to “provide education to enhance Israel’s image in North America and the public’s understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations”. Later documents described its mission as “to conduct research and provide education on international terrorism and related issues”.
‘the Center on Economic and Financial Power’ sounds like a ministry from Nineteen Eighty-Four.
i also find this quote amusing:
“Despite the problems for host countries and the large portfolio of failing loans for China, Beijing has still been successful at building influence across authoritarian-leaning regimes, who are eager to follow the Chinese model of single-party state control and high-tech domestic repression,” Dezenski says
the pot calling the kettle black. let me reword this:
“Despite the problems for host countries and the large portfolio of failing loans for the [United States|IMF], [Washington|Davos] has still been successful at building influence across authoritarian-leaning regimes, who are eager to follow the [American|Western|liberal] model of corporate state control and high-tech domestic repression,” someone says
what is so bleak about two people exercising their autonomy to choose when and how they die together?
but the things i want to do for myself aren’t economically viable.
and, no, ‘i work because i want to eat’ (or to X, or other CBT mind tricks) don’t work either — coercion doesn’t work on me, even when i want it to.
yeah.
that’s all i’ve got to say, but i have a strong urge to say it.
