Whatever trump does inside the united states doesn’t affect me. If he is closing or opening borders, if he is shitting his diapers, if he is dropping yet another incoherent ramble about something, doesnt matter to me at all.

This doesnt mean I wish to be ignorant of what foreign policies he pursues, it just means I dont need the constant barrage of irrelevant outrage.

E: also, we have our own right wingers gathering strength, why is that not of utmost importance to you as you say? Perhaps because it is irrelevant to you?

Would you like 5️ times per day updates on all the inane and to you entirely unrelatable and irrelevant day to day details of what the politicians in germany do or say? No?

Well tough shit it is now on every official news outlet, plastered over the internet and social media, and referenced anywhere you might come in contact with germans. You also get constant reminders that you should care about this despite the fact that you can’t vote in Germany and the fact that german domestic politics have zero effect on your existence.

Why are you in this community

We see this and think of an amazing and essential public service. A capitalist sees this and tries to find a way to make money with it, and the first step is to ruin the free product.

Personally i don’t mind the communism as much (I share many of its beliefs and goals) as the tankieism.

No, China and Russia are not role models but hostile actors. No, their imperialist bullshit and human rights violations or straight up war crimes aren’t justified because the west did a thing that one time and it was also evil. No, the russian kleptocracy and chinese state capitalism are not socialism or communism.

I honestly believe the closest thing to real world cyberpunk is the anti corporate / foss / selfhosted digital sovereignty “ideology” that lemmy coincidentally is a part of. For the rest, like cyberdecks and body augmentation we just have to wait a bit.

How so? Would you actually argue that the time and resources of two people are not more effective than those of just one? Or that any child needs both male and female role models and people of trust in their lives?

Thats possibly the dumbest and most irresponsible thing ive read all week. Children need two caretakers of ideally different genders, or otherwise role models actively involved in their development to compensate, to develop into truly well rounded and emotionally stable and healthy people. That is a proven fact.

The nucleus family model evidently achieves better results than any variant of single parenting, simply because there are two caretakers instead of one. You make it sound like in vitro fertilization of single women is some sort of yass queen feminist shortcut to having a well adjusted child, it definitely is not.

And a woman in that situation should seriously ask herself if a deliberately fatherless child in their life is actually for that not yet existing kid, or an act of vanity and inability to emotionally connect to a potential father.

No, you can’t. If you believe that academia is corrupted by money to the point you walk away from it, taking their accolades and cash prizes would make you a complete hypocrite. And nobody would take you or anything you say afterwards seriously any more.

There is no taking the money and staying true to your principles here. Either you say the whole sphere of academia is corrupt and fucked, or you take a nice big cash prize and play the game. Can’t say taking money is bad and then take that money yourself

“always” in this case is when you have two or more gpus in your system, which limits the ability to “just” run a vm considerably.

This is important. While we as a society have learned to be more inclusive than ever before, behind all that pretense we forget that what people generally consider as “retarded” isnt desirable. It is a genuine developmental impairment that negatively affects the individuals cognitive abilities. Not one parent in the world is glad their kid is special. They may love and support them just the same because they aren’t fucking ghouls, but if they had one wish no questions asked I’m sure virtually all of them would wish for their child to be “normal”.

And therein lies the truth/problem. We use retarded as a slur because it describes a condition of inferiority. Shifting the window of acceptable speech will not change this, only rephrase it. Policing language never truly works, eventually a different word for the same meaning takes hold, so all this does is spin the wheel of synonyms.

First thing NK does i can get behind

Speaking of, is there something natural that I could spray or put out to deter spiders from setting up shop in my place? I dont want to kill them or anything, and also know they are usually helpful in eating mosquitos and such but there are certain places in my apartment I want them to stay the fuck away from forever, like my bedroom.

My condolences… do you guys like, work at night? 44C sounds completely intolerable to me lol

Fucking 33C today here in germany. I hope every climate change denier has to spend a week doing manual labor in this insanity
