As an American, fuck the USA.

I'm ready to protest this shit. Tell me when and where to show up, my local big city or state capital. This is some bullshit. Trump and Vance are egotistical dickheads. Ukraine are our allies! Imagine George Washington doing this with Marquis de Lafayette, or FDR with Churchill!! Unspeakable!

Man this graphic is tough to read, even as an EPL person

Oh, don't worry. We hate them too

Damn Sunshine, you've been popping off on content. Formally, thank you 🙏

I use Sync. Does it track my data too?

AURA

This is true of Markdown though, no? Which Obsidian runs?

Yeah big same!

He has gone to protests! And rallies!

In recent memory, he's attended pro Palestinian protests in Chicago, showcased nonprofits trying to help those in squalor in Skid Row, Los Angeles, and marched/striked in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA workers. More recently, he's done real world journalism by speaking to imprisoned peoples that populate firefighting forces in California. That story was especially potent because of the fires that happened recently in Los Angeles.

In all instances, he's brought his 30,000-strong Twitch audience and casted the spotlight on local leaders that can speaker better to the issues at hand. I think him bringing awareness to these things, in addition to him covering the news, definitely gets overlooked by many people that already have a preconception of him.

Oh you're asking if she could relatively conceive of what life would be like without her in it, especially to her family and friends. If she had that level of mindfulness and could pre-meditate the consequences.

I mean, she was 11. And even fully grown adults can barely know what the consequences of their actions will be, so I doubt this was ever something considered.

It was probably a combination of short-term pain felt by herself and shame felt towards her family that led to the breaking point. Makes me dissociate just thinking about this story

Hi! First time posting on Lemmy actually.

I've changed the headline. Can I leave my blurb about it too, or do I need to delete that and pull straight from the article?

Are a lot of people covering this already on Lemmy? My bad, I should've checked. I think Hasan is great and I just wanted to share a good article about him that tries not to slander him one way or another

Zionism is the international policy uniparty position of the American government. Quite literally, that government is Nazism for thee but not for me.

Friedrich Nietzsche had a lot to say about this.

Suffering is part of what gives life meaning. If you don't know how hard it can get, you don't know how good it can get as well. And there's good suffering out there. Physical exercise, challenging yourself, testing your potential to see what you can actualize are all sufficient things to do in this life. You don't know what you can do until you try to do it.

Then you have to consider things like morality and knowledge.

We humans (and specifically old, white humans) tend to subject others to a certain kind of suffering through the patriarchy. That's not right. Every human should have a chance to live a good life in contrast to suffering. And the ethical pursuit of morality doesn't have to stop with our specific species of life. Humans also subject hundreds of other biological species to a life of slavery, torture, and death. It is a noble cause to bring freedom to those species, just as it is to bring freedom to Palestinians or Ukrainians or Hong Kongers. Their potential is limited by human made constructs which can just as easily be deconstructed.

Also, the universe is infinite (as far as we can tell). There are many machinations ongoing that cause certain events to happen. Why? Why was my local village destroyed by a rock flying in from space? Why is my town in Texas experiencing freezing temperatures when that's never occurred before? How long do I have to get to higher ground until the tsunami that earthquake caused reaches the coast? It's in our interest to learn about the natural world due to the hazards it brings to our lives, of which reality could end prematurely. Humans are also curious. Why is our universe the way it is? Why can't we live in a 4D reality? Can we even grasp reality? How do I know something caused something else? How confident can we be in those judgements?

The human condition since The Enlightenment has meant we've shifted our epistemological focus away from us towards the greater world around us. If we no longer have an Almighty God which has all the answers and tells us what's good and ill, who does that now? We do!

God is dead. But morality, knowledge, and the good life of flourishing are not.

I love that movie!!!

What the fuck man...............

Hell yeah! Consider sticking around for a bit. Don't forget that you have the power to block individuals, communities, and even entire instances if you're having a bad time. Not sure if reddit gives you all that power, but it has its uses!

See, I learned this in Spanish class in my American high school, and I don't think that linguistic fact stuck with me! Thanks

Having the ability to export your account data (say to a CSV) might be useful for this reason.

If you want to move to a new instance, you can pack your bags and head out.

You can probably imagine how this won't be a 1:1 transition, however, because the new instance might not have the same communities as the old instance. I commented on another thread about how it would be cool if Lemmy took your communities list, looked at how those communities federate for instance (or just do a word search on the new instance with names of the communities of the old instance), and serve you suggested new communities to subscribe to.

And if you can export your data, then there's no need to store it in a centralized way to make these types of actions doable, which favors privacy.
