Israel does not have a right to exist.

This is like saying unions don’t have the right to exist because of police unions. Don’t let the existence of corruption rob an entire group of the right to exist. If Israel didn’t exist, every country would go right back to treating Jews the way they’ve always treated them. Demand the downfall of the ethnonationalists, not the nations being used to justify ethnonationalism.

I’d like uhhhhhhh 5000 cups of water please

Wealth inequality in China is rapidly approaching levels found in America. The bottom 50% of Chinese people collectively hold 6% of the wealth, with the top 10% holding 68% of the wealth. Which leads to some extreme regional poverty.

the entire province of Taiwan all recognize marriages from outside of china though

Chinese propaganda detected

The only hint in the article is that it’s going to be an organic substance as a plastic crystal. Their website claims that it’s a powder whose elemental composition is exclusively carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The difficult and expensive materials are likely to be limited to synthesis equipment and catalysts, with petrochemicals used to synthesize the actual refrigerant.

Always plant your mint in a pot. Preferably a suspended one.

Proper password managers truly are superior

3-2-1 Rule dictates 3 copies across 2 types of media (usually referring to disk and tape, but that’s not very applicable to writing) with 1 kept off-site. I suppose you could treat a photo of the written password sitting on a digital picture frame to be at least as unhackable as a notebook…

Keepass is great for similar reasons but moreso because you can keep everything local and offline if you want. It has a built-in mechanism for synchronizing databases plus a way to point it at a completely arbitrary URL for you to host a single database yourself and receive updates. It also supports multiple potentially interchangeable authentication methods like physical tokens, passwords, biometrics, and keyfiles.

As the experts say: “Use it or lose it.”

The Satanic Temple is close enough.

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word

They want to blanket ban porn after all. That’s why the announcement only mentions being debanked for being a conservative and specifically calls out legal transactions.

That’s just outright fraudulent activity, is it not?

Or “Why isn’t there a straight community? Are the gays winning?”

Does it still count as suicide if they hand you the rope and tell you this is the easy way out and if you don’t play ball they’ll make sure it’s painful?

You’re trying so hard to DARVO this that it’s almost cute

Elementary school teachers right now are sounding the alarms over Gen Alpha too. It’s catastrophically bad. The education system isn’t just flawed or broken, it’s actively fucking collapsing. There are a shocking amount of kids now that literally can’t read. At all.

Lemme fix that for you

well-connected socialite who has already been convicted of child sex trafficking long before the image was taken

It only seems innocuous when divorced from context.

The fact that this post continues to stay up is an indictment of Lemmy moderation

Fun Fact: An improperly shielded (or old and deteriorating) fan can be influenced by stray electromagnetic radiation. They’ll pick up AM radio signals occasionally, creating an off tone in the fan noise that sounds like a person talking faintly on the other side of the fan.
