Let me just leave this here:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I do not mean to accuse you of staying silent, but please remember: no one is safe from fascism once it is there.

AFAIK they purposefully poop in the water to hide there. So yes, they “like” it.

I think you are hand-picking numbers here. The most current CDC Report on Intimate Partner Violence does not support your claims. https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/NISVSReportonIPV_2022.pdf

I can recommend the movie “the man from earth” on the topic. I think he switches identities every 20 years or so…

I kinda liked the fact that there was an different governing body for commander that did not hat the conflict of interest of WotC, which appearently needs to sqeeze the most money possible out of their game. Sad to see this go.

While i do get this vibe from the headline, the article actually closes with a call to be mindful of the shortcomings of generative AI (while using it)

Did they really just cover the whole blister thing with fishmeal? I mean including the plastic?

In the article it does not seem like automated messages. Rather guess that their fake news detection triggered, because links to these government sites spiked even though the sites were seldom mentioned before.

Do you have a source for that?

Well if it naturally gravitates to inequality, l would call it an inherent property.

I actually see street cleaning teams here in Germany regularly where one person blows the dirt out from bike racks and from under parked cars and the other person sits in the big street sweeper to pick up the dirt. I think this is a very valid use for blowers. The blowers are electric, but I sure would.not mind them a bit more quiet.

The unfun part is when its your personal rights (personally) and you have to discuss them to defend yourself.

You need to understand that this is not about sexuality, but about patriarchy. For them sex is about power over women, not about pleasing them. Cunnilingus focuses on female pleasure, which is a problem for this world view. Men unwilling to take part in the oppression of women are seen as “unmanly”. This is expressed through the accusation of being “gay”.

I think OP has every right to complain about it in public. Since it is not common knowledge (like you said), the community is obviously lacking awareness. Telling people of marginalized communities to make their complaints about discrimination in private is harmful and hinders progress. Lets talk about these problems openly, so we can find solutions together! PS: I think there is enough space in our hearts for admin appreciation and constructive criticism.

In that case: excellent suggestion. :)

I mostly agree with your rules, they seem well thought out. I have two objections: Firstly altered versions of AP seems hard to enforce. I think if the versions of AP are compatible enough for federation to work, we should let it run.

Secondly, and more importantly, the part were you want to defederate with servers that do not follow these rules is a really bad idea. If some small instance wants to consume the content from threads, their users may still add content to the fediverse. I think these rules would be a good recommendation for any new server admins and committing to these rules would be a good reason to join a server. But I don’t see any reason to turn this into a “you’re either with us or against us”-type conflict.

It’s not new actually. Maybe revived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

Here’s the thing: people don’t make decision based on cost, but on what they feel what the cost is. For example: there are studies showing people underestimate the cost of car ownership by a factor of 2. They typically forget about the loss in value and the repair costs. Parking fees (if taken per occasion) are cost that people actually feel every day, making it more likely that they factor into their decision, maybe even more so than fuel costs.
