People we both recognize as disabled are also told the exact same thing by others, that they’re choosing to behave that way

I’m morally impure but trying to survive. Many people have called me retarded, but there are also plenty of actual disabled people who are more morally pure than me.

I say the problem isn’t the disabled or the morally impure, it’s a huge cult with such a serious sickness they seem to want extinction.

Being unable to stop trying to commit mass suicide via climate change seems like a serious disability

I’d definitely say white supremacy is mental illness though

This is hilarious and I upvoted. But it’s also not accurate, and presenting it this way makes Trump look like a giga chad tricking bullies into punishing themselves, when he’s more like just king of a mentally ill cult. I won’t take my upvote back because I voted for Trump one time 9 years ago and I can’t take that back

I really wanted to argue with this, but you’re right. Shipping companies would have gone truck-only by now to attack brown countries harder with climate change if brown neighborhoods in the US had any say over the use of train tracks through their areas. Yet another thing that’s not about efficiency or cost, while corporations pretend to be all about money.

Maybe not about the transphobic crystals but yes on this part. Bernie is in a safer and stronger position to call for serious action than any of us non-US-Senators commenting on lemmy

This comment should be at the top

Arming yourself and organizing are both good. You probably don’t have to wait until you’ve found people to organize with before arming yourself in the US. It’s good to have a way to defend your home during a Nazi uprising

Meanwhile, the “artificial intelligence” is chat bots that increasingly act like crackheads begging for money and trying to sell you random bikes and stuff

You’d need to know how they encode the data in their meows, which is really hard to analyze because the data being encrypted makes it seem like random noise

And then cats have really good ears, so you’d need to be a highly professional parrot or voice actor or something to convince the cat it’s hearing the cat you want it to think it’s hearing with your key in the exchange. Phone speakers wouldn’t be enough

You can’t decrypt anything with the public keys though, wouldn’t work

Piracy definitely helps artists by helping their art spread without corporate involvement and without being used to fund Israeli weapons or shit like that

Hence artists shouldn’t really expect much money in the covid era unless they’re individually big enough to sell a lot of merch or collectively strong enough in business negotiations to stop taking such tiny percentages of corporate revenue

0% because cats encrypt their communications with AES256

But I showed up and didn’t sign up so who’s the real number?

I’m smarter than them and I can assure you the magic number is 2.4% not 3.5%

I went to one and it had pretty good turnout for a town in the middle of nowhere in Maine

Society will frame this as self-sacrifice. They won’t recognize that you’re trying to survive long-term. They’ll pretend blindly following commands would give you better chances of survival and health than a “refusal” that leads to 6 months of unemployment. They will sacrifice your health and well-being in the name of reframing what you’re doing, pretending you’re the one sacrificing your health and well-being to protest your choices not being exactly what you want, when you’re actually just trying to survive while offered choices that aren’t viable.

Or maybe you actually are intentionally protesting. Nothing wrong with that. But a lot of people aren’t

I’m not accepting the premise, that’s why I use nostr on the internet and actual library buildings off the internet.

But it is mandatory, whether that’s acceptable or not. Authorities in the US aren’t gonna suddenly change their mind when it’s your local librarian instead of the Internet Archive trying to run things differently from the corporations. The librarian needs better infrastructure to stand up to the authorities and break away from the corporate way
