Sex work needs legislation and unions, and work as defined by capitalism is degrading

rockSlayer ,

Well for that to be true, the cops would need to see 2 unrelated things and then assume a black person committed a crime.

Botanists, can you please get started on the research?

Over time, a population of proto-chickens lay eggs with unique genetic variations that randomly direct the population towards laying eggs that result in modern chickens. The egg comes first, and it's a whole bunch of them

House votes to require delivery of bombs to Israel in GOP-led rebuke of Biden policies ( apnews.com )

The House delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war....

Looks like I have a representative to call.

Femboy is a unique gender expression, not a symptom of denial

rockSlayer ,

Well for one thing, that's absolutely not true. I know cis men that do drag shows. Men that are part of femboy culture are doing a gender we call femboy.

I didn't think I'd ever actually come across a transmedicalist in the wild. Fuck off, you're not welcome.

rockSlayer ,

Gtfo with your transmedicalist bs. It's not welcome on lemmy.

rockSlayer , (edited )

It's certainly bizarre. I think it's transmedicalism, but it could be any number of bizarre ERF ideologies. They crop up like weeds. I've already blocked them and reported the post though, so hopefully it gets handled soon.

He's hoarding the bimbo surgery for him and his wife!

JT really stepped up the editing on this one, I only wish I wasn't sick so I could have watched it while working.

rockSlayer ,

At this point they should just hold on to all the updates they want to add, and make it a sequel. I love all the things that they've added and it's clearly a piece of passion, but at some point they're going to need to publish something else

Because 4 years ago he said he was working on another game based on stardew.

Reminds me of advice I got from my grandma: Cooking is a hobby, baking is science.

It's a major black mark on his labor record, but I can tell you with first hand experience as a union organizer that he's done significant things that should have been done decades ago.

I had to look it up, the Carrington Event was a solar flare that impacted the entire globe and caused telegraph stations to set on fire in the 1800s. It's the biggest magnetic storm in recorded history, and would lead to global devastation if another one that size impacted Earth due to our reliance on electronics

rockSlayer ,

Just like all storms, the geomagnetic storm scale is imperfect. It maxes out at G5, so it's possible for a substantially worse storm to be in the same category as what we saw last weekend.

rockSlayer ,

It's stainless steel so it's just surface level, but yes lmao it wasn't treated for outdoor use

Just a reminder that this murderer killed a libertarian active duty army Sargent veteran airman that saw police violence as wrong. Abbott is celebrating the murder of a soldier killed at home.

Edit: I incorrectly identified Garrett Foster's honorable service.

rockSlayer ,

Good catch, I mixed up Garrett Foster's service.

rockSlayer ,

I hate the 24 hour news cycle too, but this is worth keeping in the back of your mind. When politicians start asking these questions publicly but it doesn't seem like anything's changed, it's because we're missing information.

rockSlayer ,

my guess would be moving the black bishop one to the left to place king into check, and then moving the other bishop into position. I also had an idea for castling and then using horse-castle placement for checkmate, but that's more than 2 moves

You might like a VM for Windows instead, so there's no risk of a windows update taking a hammer to your bootloader

rockSlayer ,

If you're booting without GRUB then you don't need to be concerned about your bootloader breaking. Windows just sometimes overwrites GRUB, which is a pain

rockSlayer ,

genuinely curious since I've never tried or even considered it. What happens when you have multiple desktops installed, and assuming it doesn't cause issues why would a person want to do that?

rockSlayer ,

That's pretty cool! My immediate reaction to hearing "minimal backup DE for troubleshooting" is wondering why that isn't far more common

Arizona accuses Amazon of being a monopoly and deceiving consumers with “dark patterns” ( www.theverge.com )

Arizona's Attorney General, Kris Mayes, filed two lawsuits against Amazon on Wednesday for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices and maintaining monopoly status. The first lawsuit accuses the company of using dark patterns to keep users from canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions, violating Arizona's Consumer...

rockSlayer ,

about damn time a company was targeted in a lawsuit over dark patterns.

rockSlayer ,

Ok, so how will it get worse? Mass famine? Aid workers dying of thirst? Schools getting bombed? Hospitals getting destroyed? Aid trucks getting destroyed? Mass graves? Mass arrests? Intentional targeting of Palestinian journalists? AI drones targeting all males that are outdoors?

Discouraging people from voting 3rd party only ever hurts Democrats and liberal candidates. We're not just electing the president, which is where most of the 3rd parties appear, we're voting for everything. Telling people in battleground states that voting for "their guy" is pointless will stop the liberal and progressive people that support Cornel and Stein from going to vote. Those people vote Democrat down-ballot.

rockSlayer ,

I'm not casting a protest vote. I'm voting honestly because there is no way to strategically vote for the less genocidal candidate.

rockSlayer ,

clearly my message went over your head. Either a candidate supports a genocide, or they don't. Biden can wag his finger all he wants, he's still complicit in genocide. The truth is that he's handling Israel more conservatively than Ronald Fucking Reagan.

rockSlayer ,

I think you forgot that I stated I'm a leftist. Specifically I'm an anarchist. I already think every president in history is a criminal. I'm talking about what's happening in the here-and-now in the midst of the second Nakba.

rockSlayer ,

When did Biden interfere with the Rwandan genocide, famously known for global inaction as the Hutus killed nearly 1 million Tutsis? Fuck off with this transparently bad faith talking point.

rockSlayer ,

He made a statement on Indigenous People's Day about what he already plans to do and states plainly that he needs to do more work as a scholar and activist to learn about how to bring justice to the Native Americans that were genocided in pursuit of Manifest Destiny.

To this end, today I’m pleased to announce that as president, I will establish a Federal Office for Tribal Equity and Liberation ... This office will be charged with guiding and assisting me with confronting and dismantling challenges specific to our Indigenous siblings - from access to clean water, clean air, and a healthy environment, to ending the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, to ensuring that all treaties are upheld and respected in ways that are perpetually monitored and evaluated to increase justice and maximum efficacy. This office will also inform my administration on the best and most expeditious ways to codify and enforce FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent), as well as the Land Back Commission I’m committed to forming as part of my Policy Pillars for a Movement Rooted in Truth, Love, and Justice.

rockSlayer , (edited )

giving the guy who’s in the same ideological bed as Putin and Netanyahu a good chance at the presidency, is a good idea.

My brother in christ, he already has a chance at winning because this country clearly has no mechanism to bar insurrectionists from running, despite a constitutional amendment. I'd also appreciate it if you stopped assuming I haven't been thinking critically about how I'm going to vote. I'm not going to sit on my ass if he wins, I'm going to fight like hell. I hope you do too. Because it's already a possibility.

Do you know which state has the longest running streak of progressive voting presidential elections, as well as some of the highest voter turn out in the country? It's Minnesota. This beautiful state has been voting to the left since 1974 for Walter Mondale, and consistently has voter turnout of at least 70%. In 2022 the state legislature won a trifecta state government and passed swathes of progressive liberal bills. Do you know our secret? We don't vote shame, we just encourage everyone to vote their truth.

rockSlayer ,

I'd like to know what specifically leads you to believe I'm not critically thinking.

rockSlayer ,

lmao, so you're just assuming things about me and trying to pin me as "lesser" because I disagree with you. I'm glad you left too, that's one less toxic "vbnw" person in this country. I will never support a genocide. That is my line. If you can't respect that, then go fuck yourself.

rockSlayer ,

Aside from lacking all nuance and missing several real world factors in the US I'm sure you missed since you're not American, I'll play. Go to the next village with the 12-62 professional soldiers and train them into a guerilla army to violently oppose all those who wish to destroy them. Who would have guessed that military analogies don't fucking work for politics.

Let's do our best to put that into real world solutions:

  • A Palestinian state, or a viable path towards a Palestinian state through their own self determination
  • Restore land and property forcibly seized by settlers
  • An end to all military funding to the state of Israel
  • An international coalition army to stand between Israel and Palestine, funded by the US
  • Brokering a deal with other nearby countries to assist in nation building
  • Reparations

Neither Biden or Trump are willing to do any of those. Electing either will mean we continue to sit and watch as women and children are murdered and thrown into mass graves.

rockSlayer ,

I said I don’t live in the USA anymore.

Distinction without a difference. You now have degrees of separation from US politics that guarantee you'll miss the less obvious stuff that have big impacts.

move away and renounce your citizenship

Are you paying? Because I can not afford to uproot my life. I can't even afford to drive over the US border into Canada, and I live in fucking Minnesota. I have 0 control where my taxes go. I do not support genocide. The Government extracts money from me under threat of violence, and I'm far more useful as an activist getting arrested or killed in direct action than I ever would as a felon in prison for tax evasion. That's right. I'm willing to die violently to stop the US government from funding this genocide. I already do everything I can with the limited amount of money and free time I have. Don't pretend you know me.

rockSlayer ,

I have $7000, total. Last I checked, you can't move anywhere with that. I'd be homeless in less than 2 months, in a strange country and with 0 connections. Tax evasion is an act of indirect civil protest. I prefer direct action. I know who I am and what I value. You're condescending, presumptive, and unwilling to place aside pride to understand perspective. You are the reason Europe think Americans all act that way. Sincerely, go fuck yourself.

rockSlayer ,

I don't think you understand what this genocide is about. It's not to exterminate the Palestinians, despite what Ben-Gvir wants. It's to make conditions so horrible that they all flee Gaza, before doing the same in the West Bank.

rockSlayer ,

yes, exactly. Netanyahu doesn't fucking care where they go or how they get there, so long as their fascist government can keep up the Kahanist and Jewish Power Party support by not working with Arab nations.

rockSlayer ,

it was a bad, wrong, evil thing that happened when the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, but it was not a genocide. Same with how Obama handled drone strikes, well, everywhere in the region. I did not have the context that you unintentionally referenced the wrong events and it was the simplest point to address. I apologize for leveraging that accusation

rockSlayer ,

part of his platform is to use FPIC to return land equitably to tribes, as well as issue various reparations. It's hard to get any more clear than that. Cornel West has always meant exactly what he says.
