This was a horrific fact to read

It sounds so exhausting to live like that ngl

Hell yea

🥺

Your thirst is mine, my water is yours

I can't say I've ever had a relationship or friend that made me want to do sexist jokes about them

Sad motherfuckers for calling out a shitty "spouse "bad" joke?

No, it's just people are super tired of hearing about jokes being made at the expense of people you're supposed to love lmao. That's like the exact opposite of "sad motherfuckers".

Or maybe it's just what the camera defaults to and they don't bother changing it because why would you? Which is a more reasonable assumption than calling them delusional

And was it wrong to respond with violence back?

Take another example then, if you'd prefer. Was it wrong for anti-fascists to be violent against nazi Germany in the pre-war period?

Would you say the same about the civil war to end slavery? It's not always as simple as "violence = terrorism & bad" as you make it or to be

You're being very uncharitable to people who have done this for most of their lives and likely are perfectly aware of the limitations

Not to mention it's very likely to lead to problems down the line if you ban discussion and don't work out problems

Take for example antivax stuff or thinking doctors are in for a conspiracy or something. That can directly lead to someone's death. You do not want that to happen

Or social issues like regarding queer people, what if someone's child realizes they're queer? Then it's going to blow up again anyway, and the child will suffer

And so on

In my experience it's much easier to be a similar "perfect" in the long run. My parents were shit and they're forever miserable, because they're not willing to do the hard work for happiness. Meanwhile I've been at it regarding the hard work and, sure, while exhausting, I feel far better for it and it feels so much more sustainable.

I could go on and elaborate but idk if that's too necessary

I can't imagine anyone disliking him in prison. He did nothing that could be deemed immoral if you're already breaking laws, and most of the prison population are victims of the system

I also want to clarify, we can create asymmetrical encryption algorithms that are quantum resistant but not quantum themselves

Quantum encryption probably won't be in mass use anytime soon, but for extra sensitive applications

I've seen a lot of articles that were like "scientists do this!!" And never link to the actual study (not including this article)

What happened to citing your sources?

We have machines that can do the work of 100 people in the past

I'm sure that we could make it work without killing anyone

From what I could find, the whole "saturated fats are healthy actually" and the whole "seed oils are bad" and "polyunsaturated fats are not good actually" are things originating from meat and animal products lobbying, and recently popularized by the Joe Rogan podcast when he had a self-identified carnivore on? Or something?

Basically, it seems to be yet another manufactured culture war shit by the right filled with misinformation and disinformation that goes against the science. At this point I feel like anything that gets championed by the right needs to be very heavily examined for truthfulness.

Also, expect a lot lot more of this after the Trump administration takes over. Be skeptical of people skeptical of seed oils and polyunsaturated fats. Be skeptical of people glorifying meat and butter and saturated fats.

I genuinely don't know if they're doing this intentionally, or if they are just completely blind to it at this point, but violence is, and always has been, normalized and used in the dominating political/legal/governing/economic systems. It's just not treated as such.

Because what is denying someone's healthcare insurance claim that they are supposed to get if not violence? Or sending police after someone? Or sentencing someone to death?

Violence has always been part of the answer. It's just that that answer is not officially allowed for the common rabble.

Is it okay to support Ukraine shooting Russians?

Violence is inherent in our systems. Violence is inherent in politics. States are literally founded and upheld through violence (the military and the police). Believing anything else is just closing your eyes to the violence that happens every single day, and making you powerless against injustice.
