  • World won’t forget Tiananmen Square, US and Taiwan say on 36th anniversary of massacre

  • Yeah, just recently I rewatched Apocalypse Now. And I've never been to the U.S. or Vietnam. I agree, this is pretty much alive in cultural memory, not forgotten.

  • I needed this explanation for "L'Engle":

    References A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Characters cross great distances by "tessering", moving via a tesseract through a higher dimension which essentially brings the two ends of the journey together from the perspective of the traveler. The image shows the two ends of the gap being brought together, with the gap apparently crumpled in between them.

  • Brazil police foil bomb plot on Lady Gaga concert in Rio

    Jump

  • I asked myself, for a moment or two, what a "foil bomb" is. And why would the police do that to Gaga, or to a farm plot at her concert?

    Please consider supporting Lemmy development

    Jump

  • it’s worth donating even if you disagree with the devs personally. My impression is they’re decent about making Lemmy a tech project not a personal political platform, and treating the Internet respectfully

    I want to underline this. And ask the reader to put themselves in the devs' shoes for a moment.

    Usually, when people have strong opinions, like extreme political views, they try to further their goal wherever they can. To abstain from that desire, and create tools which can be freely used, even by their political enemies, requires a considerable amount of decency and deserves our respect.

    Either this, or they value FOSS so much (more), that they still keep Lemmy open for everyone.

    In a way, they support people from the opposite side of the political spectrum, by providing them their platform freely. Isn't that exemplary in putting the fedi spirit above political differences?

  • I believe we (as in, people) all have a responsibility to hold each other accountable. But we can also only do so much, and inserting yourself into a toxic community ...

    Me too, both. That we have responsibility for others and that we are not obliged to put ourselves at harms risk.

    But this is a particularly shitty, maybe wicked problem. There are three groups: A bullies B, and C could stop A, but isn't bothered by anyone. Now, is C obliged to pick a fight with A, or is B just in bad luck to be born as a B?

    I think here, it is very easy to have strong opinions, while very hard to formulate a concise moral argument. Things get muddier/harder the more we factor reality in.

  • Underused [historic] card of the day: Vivien, Champion of the Wilds (2G Planeswalker)

    Jump

  • Makes sense, thanks for your insight!

    I experienced the problems you mention and guess my question is answered now :)

    However, here's how I deal with it, my workaround:

    On an empty board,

    • if playing against black, I use -2. She is likely to get sacrificed, so I opt to replace the card worst case
    • if playing against red or haste, I use +1. She might still be killed, but dealing 5 damage is some effort and requires one or two cards or actions for the opponent usually.

    Against flying creatures, she offers some protection by giving reach. Ground creatures are usually tougher than birds, which can prevent further attacks. Or fail, if the reach blocker is removed.

    In a creature disadvantage, I keep her in hand unless I desperately want to "super"-draw a creature instead.

    The downsides are real, but kind of manageable. Maybe it depends on the rest of the deck, if flashing creatures is important enough. I thought of using that 4 mana blue enchantment, but that's even more expensive (unless lucky in start hand).

    You're right, I think this whole post is about "Giving creatures flash". If that's my actual goal, is there a better way in MTG Arena Historic?

  • Underused [historic] card of the day: Vivien, Champion of the Wilds (2G Planeswalker)

    Jump

  • Fair point, thanks. I feel even if she gets removed by a spell right away, that's okay, because we just traded one card each. If she soaks up damage by immediately dying from an attack, that's like getting 5 HP for 3 mana, which I consider an okish deal. That could be said for any PW. Your point still stands though.

  • always remember that

  • A debate between people who read the source and others who project preconceived narratives onto facts. Before this sadly popular meme, I thought the latter was a misdeed of climate "skeptics". It's quite painful to see how long-lived this meme is. It makes us look as bad and post-factual as the opposition. What do we do about this? Accept it as human nature? In consequence, stop blaming "skeptics", and people who rather believe what they want and don't look up, because we do exactly the same? I think we can and should do better, hence my effort here.

    The core point people make and take away from this meme is "It's not us, it's them!". Meaning, consumer emissions don't matter, because corporate emissions are so much bigger.

    And in exactly this core point, this meme is misleading. Because "our" emissions are included in "their" emissions (that's what phase scope 3 is about). It's like a child blaming their parents that they spend so much on food, while living off their purchases.

  • always remember that

    Jump

  • Probably, yes. Which means, this post is quite misleading.

    Carbon majors is about fossil fuel producers. Drilling oil, mining coal. This is the first misleadioning: Big and popular companies like Apple are not covered. They also count whole national sectors as one producer, like "China (coal)". Not what the average reader might think when reading "company". Misleading.

    Further, the report includes IIRC 3rd phase emissions. Meaning emissions caused by end consumers using the product. Meaning you burning coal to use electricity, or fuel to run your car.

    That doesn't mean these companies (producers, sectors) are guilt-free. But we should hate them for the right reasons, of which there are plenty.

  • Outstanding quality comment! Great example and all. Have a nice day

  • Time is math I think

    Jump

  • "The day starts at night" sounds silly because it seems to be a contradiction. But really, how else could it be?

    Either, day starts at day ... but then it was already day. Or, day starts at night ... unless we come up with additional entities like dusk or dawn.

    And since we haven't introduced them yet, day has to start at night, as a necessity.

    Of course the actual silly thing is that it's still night right after day has started.
