I mean… yes. More horses will drink if they know there is water, and even if they don’t, they’re still safer than they otherwise would have been.

All of you are wrong.

It’s here.

(Actually, no, scratch that. Not even I am insane enough to suggest that one in earnest.)

I have not played ut2004 so unfortunately no

…how do you mean?

Obviously we’re not going to get everyone to download a FOSS period tracker, as nice as that would be – they’re already invested in the ones they’re using, and no doubt it will have features and usability improvements the FOSS one doesn’t, usually thanks to some network service that is fundamentally incompatible with the FOSS philosophy. That’s almost always how these things go.

We should definitely be telling more people about F-Droid, but let’s not get our hopes up. Socialism is about protecting everyone, even people who don’t share your views, even if those views are objectively correct.

no one is saying this, are they?

According to this article this was part of a performance art project by an anti-fascist activist, who asked the teachers to do that activity just to see if they’d be willing to do it.

am autistic, can confirm

side note: Red Eclipse is a free (both as in beer and as in speech), open source FPS that’s actually quite fun and could use some love

Kamala said she was going to look for a ceasefire. Trump told Netanyahu to hurry up and finish the job. Get off your high horse.

EDIT: wow the tankies are out in full force tonight

Go snort copium, liberal.

Looks like you’re snorting enough for the both of us. Thanks for offering to share yours, but I’ll pass. Later, loser!

Pshh, you’re not a leftist. You just use the same words they use and think it’s the same. You ain’t fooling nobody but yourself.

“Remember, kids, blatant, sweeping misandry isn’t bad because painting – no matter how you slice it – literally half of society as rapists and murderers and sex-crazed lunatics whose only thought is for animalistic dominance over anyone standing near them is a lie so big and so dangerous it’d give Trump a run for his money, it’s bad because if a transmasc person reads an ‘all men are bad’ post, they might think it’s about them and be sad, and then you’d be hurting someone we actually care about.”

It sickens me that these people call themselves feminists. You can fight for trans rights and women’s rights without doing it to the exclusion of everyone else.

…uhhh…we’re not?

For a start, my name’s not Clyde, it’s Vincent. It’s in my username. Thought you’d’ve figured that out. Second, it’s an argument about why letting a bunch of individuals who have no incentive to care what happens to the group go wild with no previously-agreed-upon restrictions about how much they should use is bad, and that’s not true of any socialist movements I’m aware of. Thirdly, the photo on the Wikipedia page for tragedy of the commons is of pollution.

There are statements about ecology that don’t. Also, you didn’t answer my question.

Are you absolutely positive you’re a leftist? Because people who are left of center don’t typically call each other “eco-fascists” for pointing out easily verifiable facts about ecology that do not involve human interference in any way.

The tragedy of the commons, an argument as to why unfettered capitalism is bad, is right wing (i.e. pro-capitalist) propaganda.

I’ve officially heard it all now.

absolutely wild that someone would assume someone’s political views based on their understanding of ecosystems-level biology, but on lemmy, somehow, i’m no longer surprised

all i know is that you wrote almost 1500 words about why voting is pointless and then did not provide any alternatives

you advocated for voting in local elections, but not before saying that voting in local elections is pointless because local politicians can be easily bribed. you advocated for joining unions, but not before saying one should be wary of doing so because unions can be captured by the institution, however that’s supposed to happen.

all there is in that thread is 1500 words of doomerism. fuck doomerism, ima vote.

by the way, stop putting your own words on a pedestal just because you wrote them when you were slightly less sleep deprived. i’ve tried it before. it rarely works out well.
