  • Apart from the Tankie Triad, i'd doubt right wing opinions would get you banned (i'm not against believe it if i saw some examples though).

    Hate speech and promotion of oppressions that right wingers tend to consider as simple 'opinions' might though.

  • I'm not entirely sure about what are the reasoning behind your comment, but i see it as : llibertarian implies no state + parks and forest require state = incompatibility. I'd disagree on the parks and forest require state, i thinl they only need organization, meaning one or more NGO could handle it. Accepting this, not that much incompatibility between libertarian and forest remains (accepting libertarian as left wing meaning that does not imply private property)

  • I'm used to separating breakfast food (cereals, fruits, bread and jelly, crepes, pancakes) and lunch/diner food (carbs, vegetables, sushi, etc), but i'm also used to eating some at the time of the other (dining with crepes or bread, or having breakfast with leftovers of dinner)

  • 4K really weighs heavy in matter of storage space, just multiply 1080p by 4. If you can get that the raw rushes for a 1080p clip would be around 500 Go, then it makes sense that the same in 4k is 4 times bigger. My friends who stores a lot of rushes buys a new hard drive each year or two now that he uses 4k

  • I observe this too. My generation of friends met in school at first, but as we got older and went to work, meeting someone new became more rare. I saw a lot of my friends starting dating each other in our high-school group of friends years after we left highschool, probably because it was easier than to meet random people. It's a bit weird though, and most relationships ended rapidly or badly.

    So when work and old school friends are no option, and you have no place to make new friends, it does feel logical to turn to online dating.

  • Well it depends. Technically speaking, it's around twice as fast as standard speed on highway (at least in France, so 130kmh). In terms of feelings, it's probably not that faster? I never went above 140 or so but from my experience, your brain adapts to the speed, so if you got to 300 not that suddenly it probably does not feel like twice as fast than the usual. In terms of safety, it may be more than twice the danger. I'm no expert, but depending on the vehicle and how many other vehicles there are on the highway, it could be very dangerous.

  • Was about to say 'Ever heard of transgender people' but in the end it does not change much to your theory

  • Im not 100% sure what rant means, I didnt want to imply negativity, sorry for that. This really felt like a legitimate remark to me!

    Yup, for the glasses, it's definitely an explanation of why we used to call them that way, the justification does not have much sense nowadays.

  • My two cents, from a french perspectice : we say "a pair of scissors" and "a pair of glasses" but never "a pair of jeans". For the glasses, it kinda make sense since you can wear only one glass at a time though it's highly unpractical. For the scissors it make sense if you consider one scissor to be one blade with a handle. I perfectly understand your rant on the jeans point.

  • The amount of bad faith they display is unbelievable, between their prior allegations that corrupted politicians should be banned from politics for life, and their absence of limits in metaphores : last quote i saw was this dumbfuck saying that "the nuclear weapon of the judiciary system was used against [her]"

  • I think you're kinda right in the broad sense, if we strictly speak of stateless society. But if we include progressive/leftists ideals and communities meant to help those in need, it will kinda separate people who are tempted by violence in two : those who want an easy way to get comfortable living, and those who want an endless accumulation of power/wealth. If you propose a society where people unable or unwilling to work can be taken care of, there is no interest for the first kind of violent people to be violent, and you're only left with those that want what only violence can provide, which is the kind of need/desire we need to fight against in the first place to accomplish a stateless society.

  • I was a bit confused too, but OPs answer to your comment clarified it quite well.

    And after thinking a bit on it, and from my very basic knowledge of lgbt movment, here's what i think they advocate for (pls correct me if i say bs) : sex and gender are indeed different, they aee not necessarily connected and both are spectrums rather than binary options. This means you could have a lot of options between what sex you are (male/female/intersex), what gender you are (a lot of options) and what gender you were assigned at birth (generally either male or female). Some trans people need their "physical" sex identity to match their gender, other don't.

    The problem in this case seems to me that she advocates for a strict binary conception of sex identity and that she pushed for it to be more important than gender in social situations such as sport. Part of the confusion also comes from the fact that she acknowledges parts of what the lgbt movment fights for but she fights against the rest, which happens frequently in TERF rethorics afaik

  • I kinda disagree here. Ofc the police is on the front line, but the judges protect policemen and policewomen from being convicted or too harshly punished.

    More generally, it is judges who decide to send people to prison, to inflict economic and social punishments on people deviating from the state, to send refugees back to suffering or death they tried to escape from. I saw trials in France where the judges considered the fact that a militant had anarchist books in his library as aggravating circumstance. I studied law for 3 years and made internship in tribunals, and it is not a misconception to say that the judiciary system is protecting and perpetrating state violence, though it's less bloody than what the cops can do.

  • Scary times indeed, and sadly even if the right thing is done, those fuckheads have a successor at the ready, with a boosted mediatic presence, so I fear that either way it won't change much.

  • It seems indeed, especially since they contacted companies with no presence in USA, and did not for other that have business there. Either random mediatic noise, either pure incompetence, either both.

  • I agree with you on most points, thanks for your analysis/opinion!

  • How do you feel about anarchism and/or libertarian communism? (just trying to see how much you think that way because of a sympathy for capital or because of a rejection of the state)

  • I get what you mean, support in laws and numbers is not real solidarity, and therefore not effective nor complete support.

    But from an outsider perspective (and i still leave in one of the most "supporting" country i'd say), it's already a big step from our current position to not get evicted or starve.

    It's a good thing to know that solving symptoms with money does not solve problems though, but i feel like it remains hard to explain to people that it's not already a big step forward.

  • Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

    Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?

  • Thanks for your appreciation. We of course agree that they all are very very short lived. Sadly, the Kurds will effectively probably have a rough time in the near future. Zapatistas are quite an exception in here, they manage to stay steady for some years now, but of course their situation is quite unique (though in all examples I gave it was unique situations).

    The common point in all those cases are that the reason for their short durations are more or less authoritarians states, in its diverse forms (Republic in 1871, Fascists+Republic in 1936, Communists in 1917, Turkey for Rojava, etc.). So i feel like if every system that has been criticized as bad all fought against libertarian communism, maybe that's a hint about how good a system it is. I'm not sure if it's the best for modern communism, maybe nowadays situation requires something else, but thanks to its versatility, I think it could adapt. So yeah, I kinda feel that libertarian communism and its declinations are the best theoretical alignment for communism in general (though it's not necessarily a state, precisely).
