It’s not a gospel and yeah it’s sometimes funny. But mainly it’s an elegantly regimented way to explore the world around us

Even ignoring socially constructed gender identities, in the case of biological sexes, this is scientifically wrong. The world doesn’t fit into neat little boxes like these people think it does

Maybe I’m feeling cornered, vulnerable, angry, as is often the case with these things. But how do you suggest we protect ourselves and our allies from an evil that strengthens itself off of your sickness, your hunger, your homelessness, and has absolutely no qualms about meeting you with violence and coming up with an excuse later?

But we’re not talking specifically about protecting children here, I’d agree with you that less guns are better to those ends. For fighting fascism though? It took a lot of gun deaths to unseat Hitler and Mussolini

Is a steam deck not a console?

Could academia today be seen in the future in a similar light as we look at the medieval church? It was the gatekeeper of philosophical education (largely on classist principles), to things like literacy, and used humanity’s curiosity and hunger for knowledge as a carrot on a stick to buy into an oppressive status quo.

Xenophobia and racism exist in America outside of the trump ultras. Hell, outside of the republican party even

I don’t think they care. For most, this is just a middle finger to the government

Isn’t that what insurance is for?

Nah dude, didn’t you hear? Tankies off lemmy spoiled a whole US election

It’s outrageous that a loan for higher education comes with an interest rate at all. The increased productivity of a college graduate should cover the need to profit off the loan. Extra silly because as a graduate you only see compensation for a paltry fraction of that increased productivity.

“Defy, Defend, Depose”

Hmm very criptic

That line of thinking has already created a massive market for disposable vapes that waste a crazy amount of fully rechargeable Li batteries

This isn’t even for our safety; most conflicts aren’t. Best I can gather, this is all about regional influence and geopolitical brownie points that don’t matter to all but the ruling class

Any conflict where both sides have been huffing their own farts long enough to forget who they represent while they tear apart the land that normal people are just trying to go about their lives on.
