  • Except you can’t empathise with a group because groups are conceptual and concepts do not have feelings.

    This shit is depressing.

    Edit: Actually, this whole thing is bizarre. “empathizing was rated as more effortful and distressing compared to staying objective”? Feelings are objective. Individuals objectively have feelings. Empathy is understanding and weighing other people’s feelings, particularly when making decisions. There is absolutely nothing that is not objective about it.

    The experimental design also seems to be asking the participants to empathise with people who very obviously don’t exist with zero information about their fictional cirtumstances (not even any body language), which is bordering on impossible. I’d also really like to ask how it’s “distressing” to try to empathise with an expressionless photograph on a solid background.

    Junk research. Whoever approved funding for it should be fired.



  • You say “same kernel as Arch,” but Arch has five officially supported kernels, and you can choose any of them while you build your system. EndeavourOS allows you to switch kernels, but it’s assumed you will install the latest mainline kernel and you are only given LTS and Zen as additional options.

    If you use LTS or Zen, or especially if you use Hardened or Real-Time, vanilla Arch is a different experience re:kernel.

    Do you think the Soviets should have run around slapping random people who used to be in the Wehrmacht? Do you think throwing your milkshake at some German who supported Hitler in 1932 would have stopped the Nazis?

    Punching random goons achieves nothing for the people. It is not praxis, it is not a revolutionary action, and saying you support it doesn’t suggest that you take actual steps to oppose anyone.

    Are you saying the CPC is libbed up for deliberately using reeducation and formal justice systems to resolve the recurrent terrorism problem in Xinjiang rather than using force and naked brutality like liberal “democracies” usually do? Keeping in mind that the Xinjiang policies have been effective while imperialist violence has deepened and entrenched conflicts, and that those ongoing conflicts which have been resolved through pure force specifically use lethal weapons and mass execution, not some embarrassing discount Incredible Hulk imitation.

    Or I guess we should be real here that you’re just fedposting.

    This comes from someone who genuinely believes in the right to punch Nazis.

    Well, I see the problem now. Punching people doesn’t solve Nazism.

    If you were advocating for reeducating them, revoking their right to vote, or even putting them in prison, fine. But punching people is just some weird power fantasy, “I’m better than you because I beat you up.”

    The fact you think beating people up just to feel dominant or whatever is good politics shows you have a lot in common with Pewds… and, well, Nazis.
