  • I think you may have misunderstood - this is not advocating for or against inpatient mental health, this is just a dumb alternative term for having a day off to take care of yourself (largely because the classic "grippy sock vacation" is prohibitive in SO many ways, especially in the US)

  • Yeah but not... really. They could all circumvent this easily enough (mailing you bits of your family until you give them the password is a classic technique), this just weakens their own or ally countries with no benefit to them directly. Anyone who they actually want access to is going to be using encryption some other way now, so really this just makes their job more of a pain in the ass.

  • Its no clean wehrmacht, but it is pretty heavy-handed propaganda. A lot of the german military simply wanted the jews gone or their influence reduced or their resources stolen and them shipped out, true, and they weren't aware of the full extent of the Final Solution. But despite the rampant horrors committed on the eastern front, many of them legitimately believed such atrocities would be confined to the Bolsheviks and the discovery that it had been brought to the european nations, a more "civilized" region, was genuinely horrifying to many of them. Not the actions, just that it was being done here. Nazi NIMBYs, everybody. They suck even more than regular Nazis!

    And yeah, many common german soldiers repented and denounced the atrocities when confronted with the evidence. But not nearly as many as the allies would like you to believe!

  • We're using graphene! Almost entirely for it's electrical properties true, but we're using graphene doped batteries in consumer electronics currently. We also use fusion and ITER research for a whole lot more than just power generation - plasma dynamics, just one tiny subfield concerned with physics, has applications in everything from radio transmission beam forming techniques to satellite engines to magnetodynamic modeling to the EMI shielding on your vacuum cleaner.

  • Step 1: Do Colonialism

    Step 2: Begin as a culture to realize how fucked it was and start implementing real reparations and assistance to help repair the heinous damage you caused, including becoming the #1 importer of staple foods from 'developing nations' (blech I hate that term) farms whos markets you destroyed, doing a surprising amount to revitalize local trade and sustainability

    Step 3: Stop doing that because woke or something, idk. In fact colonialism was super great now actually. Not being a colonialist means you were probably a secret liberal sympathizer, you awful little tankie

  • You very much did, and you very much are continuing to present hyperbolic examples as reasonable interpretations.

    An illustrative but lazy counterpoint might be: Why aren't you more comfortable with putting immigrants in concentration camps? Don't you see how open borders would harm this country?

  • You know what a “false dichotomy” is? If no, this is a beautiful example. Immigration reform is an entire world of options, "deport all the brown people" and "Ignore all the laws" aren’t the only options like you’re implying here.

    This is a very, very old topic. What have we been doing, before it was politicized into a fiery hot-button issue? What, historically, have we been doing that is effective?

  • Gotta hand it to trump, I don't think I could have conceived of a better way to bring to light the vast amount of good the US does for the world than to... uh... abruptly stop doing it.

    Hmm.

  • I addressed the premise of the question because it's fundamentally flawed, any direct answer would have to tacitly acknowledge those flaws as valid or be intellectually dishonest.

    Left-wing people aren't in favor of "illegal immigration", they are in favor of immigration reform.

  • You know what a "false dichotomy" is? If no, this is a beautiful example. Immigration reform is an entire world of options, "deport all the brown people" and "open borders and free subsidized piñatas for everyone" aren't the only options like you're presenting here.

  • You'll feel right at home on that instance if you don't like how .ml operates

    "You'll like being places where you're welcomed even if you have a differing opinion far more than a place that carefully maintains an authoritarian echo chamber" isn't exactly a scathing indictment of their character, you realize that right?
