  • violence is always bad mkay 😢

    跳过

  • A general call for someone's death has never been ruled as fighting words in the history of US Law. But I don't think that was really your point.

    The thing is, I see people calling for the death of Donald Trump all the time. I don't think that means he's morally justified in killing those people.

    That's effectively what this comic is arguing, but in reverse.

    Look, I hate Charlie Kirk as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean we need to say that assassinating him was a good and just call.

    He can be a loathsome PoS, and shooting him to death extrajudicially can be a bad thing. Both those can be true at the same time.

  • I don't know that I love equating rhetorical violence with physical violence. Seems like a bad road to go down.

    "That guy advocated that I should be killed, so I was justified in shooting him in the face," isn't my favorite take.

  • I mean, that's the case everywhere in the world and always has been. If you go out and live in the woods you're banking on your ability to find food and shelter yourself or you die.

    Not defending the current system, but like, saying you're not free until someone pays for your ability to live off-grid seems... silly?

    Might as well say, "they say you're free, but if you decide to shoot yourself in the head you just die and there's nothing you can do about it. #WakeUpSheeple"

    I just don't see what kind of system you're arguing for I guess.

  • In 1997? From Arkansas? That seems... exceptionally unlikely. Or, at least far far less likely than that he was just cheating.

  • Add to that if you actually read the guys statement, it doesn't read like someone with insider information. It's much more like, "oh, yeah, of course they're gonna do that. Have you been watching the crap this administration is doing? I'd be shocked if they didn't."

    Which, like, he's not wrong, but doesn't sound like the comment of a guy who has some deep insider knowledge. Sounds like a dude who's just kinda ranting about the current state of the government and politics. Most government employees I know aren't exactly thrilled with how things are going.

  • Combine that with the fact that someone commiting adultery should be disqualifying for them becoming president.

    Look, I get that all the social norms have been completely ground to dust, but character does in fact matter. We should want a good person who refuses to cheat on their wife as a leader.

    Reducing this to just a fun fling because you like the guy is the same thing the hypocrites who support Trump and all of his scandals do.

    If he's willing to betray his wife for a quicky from an intern, why would I trust him with anything else? For the person who's leading the entire nation the bar should be higher.

    Also not to mention that he was 49 and she was 22. If this was anyone less "likeable" than Bill we'd all be calling him an absolute creep. He was pushing 50, and she could barely drink. And he was her boss.

  • Run a shell script whenever a file in a certain directory changes?

    跳过

  • Even if you wanted to implement a solution like this, which you shouldn't, why on earth monitor the MD5 sum instead of just the mtime of the file???? Like, doing a checksum is the least efficient method of checking this possible.

    Like, you could do a simple while loop with a find myfile.txt +mmin 1; sleep 30 in it. Adjust numbers to your desired tolerance.

    Again, don't do that. But if you must, definitely don't do an md5sum for godssake.

  • Why doesn't the US name this state? Are they stupid?

    跳过

  • Man, it looks like sheer laziness that they can fit "Kentucky" into its state, but "Alabama" gets a pointer line. You're telling me that you can't do the exact same thing you did with "Georgia" there?

  • While preventable child deaths are obviously terrible, I feel like this could be overextended.

    Like, how many child deaths has McDonald's caused vs guns. I'm too lazy to do the math like the other guy, but I'd presume it's comparable. (Although I suppose by the time it catches up to them they're no longer children.)

    Idk, you see things like, "leading cause of death in children" and it makes the number seem huge, but it's less than 100 kids a year. And it looks like around 400/yr die from drowning in swimming pools. So if we really care about the children, we should bad swimming pools? They kill 4x the number of kids than guns.

    I'm not saying guns are great. But using child deaths as part of the argument just feels like a great excuse to ban literally anything you just don't like.

  • Could be reverse causality? Rich and industrializing countries have the money and resources to send out explorers and start colonies.

    If you're not on the rise already, you're probably not throwing away ships on suicide missions.

  • Yeah, that's what I told my doctor when he said I didn't have unicorn pox. He was like, "that's not a real thing, and if it was I'd have heard of it," and I told him he was just an arrogant jerk. He doesn't know all the diseases, just cause he's a doctor.

  • Popular sugar substitute linked to brain cell damage and stroke risk

  • That seems like an impressively blanket statement when there's literally dozens of sugar substitutes that are all wildly chemically different. Insane that all of them would kill your mouth and gut microbiome even when they often work in fundamentally different ways.

  • UK wants to weasel out of demand for Apple encryption back door

    跳过

  • Even in your made up scenario it doesn't prove the negative. Maybe your mind reading didn't work because Apple has a mind wiping device that made them forget. Maybe the crystal ball didn't work because Apple made an even more powerful "crystal ball blocking" device. You can't prove that's not what's really happening.

    So no, you in fact can't prove a negative.

  • Are you using Lemmy / other networks to create noise in your life and to replace talking to people irl?

  • How many fascists have you killed? Genuine question. Cause if the answer is zero, you have stopped short of killing fascists. Saying you would is no different than the person who says they would care about politics but doesn't.

    I don't mean that as an attack. I simply am pointing out that everyone draws the line differently. A Ted Kaczynski would say a person who really cares about these issues would already be sending mail bombs.

    I disagree with that (as do you I imagine, as I don't think you've started mail bombing people, as that would've been in the news), but he was just as sure of his line as you are. Why do you not go that far?

    To be very clear. Don't mail bomb people. Don't take this as a challenge. I'm just genuinely curious how that falls against the line you are drawing.

    Also, back to the original topic, you said earlier that you can't go to events solo due to your social anxiety, which is understandably difficult, but could you not bring your partner along? Why can't you have that security blanket as you go out to meet new people? Having a partner makes making new friends a thousand times easier!

  • I do think there's an element of privilege here. Just because you have the luxury of time and space to be involved in politics and spend a lot of emotional energy in that area doesn't mean that everyone else has that luxury. For the single mother of three, working two jobs to provide for her kids, she probably doesn't have the bandwidth to be super "educated" politically.

    But what would you have that PTA soccer mom do? The bar is always arbitrary. I could choose to set it higher or lower than you. Why is your spot for the bar what it is? I could claim anyone who isn't vegan, or uses toilet paper, or doesn't drive an EV, or isn't growing their own food, or isn't chaining themselves to government buildings in protest isn't doing their part and is actively "contributing to the destruction of humanity." You have defined your threshold of acceptable somewhere short of actively murdering fascists (I assume), so why is that? And what makes your choice of threshold the correct one?

    I think we have a tendency to say, "what I'm doing is the correct standard," in order to make us feel justified in our outlook and superior to the people around us. Is it that others are actually "contributing to the destruction of humanity" more than you, or is that something that you tell yourself to help maintain an emotional wall of protection?

    And, literally all that aside, I think your assumption that there aren't plenty of people around you who feel similarly to you is unfounded. You could make friends by getting involved in a political campaign. I did that a number of years ago, and met a lot of great people. Helped a lady get elected into the House of Representatives. Had a great time and met a lot of cool people along the way. And surely those people would meet your thresholds of "good enough," no?
