  • I clicked on a few more, a decent number of the links aren't really advocating for murder/violence at all.

    There was one link I clicked on that did lead to someone advocating for murder (Kokesh), I didn't recognize who it was and their name wasn't highlighted as an instance Admin.

    Looking at the modlog for that user, they have had a number of comments removed for advocating for murder/violence, so this is probably just a comment that slipped through the cracks.

  • I'm all for an age cap. It should be dynamic and based on some sort of percentage of the average lifespan of the population in their area.

    It would provide a good incentive for them to vote in/pass legislation which would help raise the overall life expectancy of everyone.

  • Poe's Law strikes again:https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

    Adding a /s would help convey that intent a little more. And if you're going for the "Got ya!" satire effect, you could always hide it in a spoiler.

  • The worst part is, this did apply to state law enforcement up until the final revision when they decided to change it:

    https://legiscan.com/CA/text/SB627/id/3267892

    (e)For the purposes of this section, “law enforcement agency” means any agency, department, or other entity of the state or any political subdivision thereof that employs a peace officer as described in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2 of the Penal Code, and any federal agency that enforces local, state, or federal laws.

    (2) “Law enforcement agency” means any of the following:

    (A) Any entity of a city, county, or other local agency, that employs a peace officer described in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.

    (B) Any law enforcement agency of another state.

    (C) Any federal law enforcement agency.

  • As far as cults go, they don't sound like a "literal cult" when reading about them on Wikipedia:

    Ian Johnson argued that applying the 'cult' label to Falun Gong effectively "cloaked the government's crackdown with the legitimacy of the West's anticult movement". He wrote that Falun Gong does not satisfy common definitions of a cult: "its members marry outside the group, have outside friends, hold normal jobs, do not live isolated from society, do not believe that the world's end is imminent and do not give significant amounts of money to the organisation ... it does not advocate violence and is at heart an apolitical, inward-oriented discipline, one aimed at cleansing oneself spiritually and improving one's health."[74]: 224  David Ownby similarly wrote that "the entire issue of the supposed cultic nature of Falun Gong was a red herring from the beginning, cleverly exploited by the Chinese state to blunt the appeal of Falun Gong".[63]

  • If you want to maintain some sort of privacy when voting on any platform in the Fediverse:Create an alt account, do not make any posts/comments with it, only use it for voting.

    Otherwise we would need an instance that generates a bunch of voting accounts. Then, when you vote on something, the instance randomly assigns that vote to one of their voting accounts and sends out that vote information to other instances. Then only the Admins of your home instance would be able to view your voting history.

  • TL/DW:Pokimane started a snack company. There are rumors that the company is going bankrupt. The website is suddenly inaccessible (this is what the "deleted everything" statement is referring to).

  • Well, on the fediverse votes are public.For example any Mbin instance can show you who is upvoting.

    Although keep in mind that an upvote doesn't necessarily mean that someone agrees with everything that was said (or even anything that was said). It could just mean that they think the post is fitting for the community and contributes to the discussion.

    Personally, a tankie statement like that is definitely deserving of a downvote.

  • You must be very young,haven't seen many movies,only seen the worst movies,or else you really need to get into directing and make a movie that will put everything else to shame.

    Or maybe that's the translated name of some movie I've never seen. ¯\_(ツ)_

    Although, I am curious, what would it take to make a good movie in your opinion? Or what do current movies seem to be lacking in?

    • "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 gram.

    For example, take a look at the "Serving size" of some cooking spray. 1/3 of a second of spray means 0.25g... So everything is zeroed out in the Nutrition facts.

  • Wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened.

    For instance, there are regulations in place that mandate that anything called "white chocolate" must contain at least a certain percentage of milk. Which, in my opinion, is ridiculous. If someone wanted to create "white chocolate" using cacao butter and a dairy free alternative, they should be able to call it white chocolate.

    Worst case scenario here, we just adopt a name that's ridiculously close to what it used to be, like "vedgurger" or "sausagies".

  • This is an important point. Simply giving a ton of rice to an area will put the rice farmers in that area out of business.

    They'll need to grow something else to make a living, but then when the next year comes around, no one is making rice anymore and they'll be dependent on that external flow of rice.

  • Some other countries build up math skills a little differently. For instance, in Portugal, they teach a little bit of Algebra, a little bit of Geometry, and a little bit of Calculus every year.

    In the U.S. the students focus on Algebra, one year, then Geometry the next, then Algebra again, and finally Calculus (if they did well in the previous math courses).

    So, if a student transferred for their senior year of High School from the U.S. to Portugal, they would have a different experience compared to their peers. They would find all of the Algebra and Geometry sections very easy and be able to help tutor the other students, but then they would struggle with the Calculus portions and need help from the others.

    I'm not sure how common this is among other european countries. I would be curious to know how math courses are taught in other countries.
