Brown fat cells would also make you burn more calories doing nothing

It's been led than a day chill.

I'm not super hopeful either, but this is already more than I expected, so we'll see where things go

Everything is political.

Any progress does that. The issue is not that there's less work, the issue is that capitalism makes that into a bad thing.

Less work should mean more leisure, more time for hobbies and passion projects, not reduced living standards.

For anyone who is interested in knowing if she ever ended up shooting a fascist, here's the relevant paragraph from Wikipedia:

As she was extremely nearsighted, Weil was a very poor shot. Her comrades tried to avoid taking her on missions, though she did sometimes insist. Her only direct participation in combat was to shoot with her rifle at a bomber during an air raid; in a second raid, she tried to operate the group's heavy machine gun, but her comrades prevented her, as they thought it would be best for someone less clumsy and near-sighted to use the weapon. After being with the group for a few weeks, she burnt herself over a cooking fire.

I get it, giving the government the ability to randomly shift the boundaries of what's considered a hate symbol can backfire if the government becomes fashy. We can see that in the US right now where they twist everything they can to make things happen that they want to happen, with no regard for process and how tools were supposed to be used.

But that's historically not what happened with paragraph 86a, and I don't see it happening without AfD coming into power. I might eat my words some day, but precedent has held strong with that one.

No, criticizing Israel is certainly 100% not illegal, what are you talking about. Being pro-Palestine isn't illegal.

The only thing that's even tangentially related and therefore might have been what you heard and misinterpreted is that Hamas flags have been added to the list of anti-constitutional banned symbols in Germany, so those are illegal. But clearly support for Hamas ≠ “criticizing Israel” lol

if someone cosplays as a Nazi or thinks Hitler didn't murder 6 million […] then arresting them because of thought crimes is fascist behavior.

Hahahahaha no. It's not “thought crimes” when you explicitly say through symbols: “I want Jews, disabled people, leftists, and traveling folk to be genozided”. Because that's what that is. It's not a thought when you wear it or carry it around.

The US “free speech absolutist” Musk and his hypocritical friends have gotten into your mind. Preventing intolerance isn't intolerance in itself.

For something to be “criminalized”, it needs to be criminal. Antisemitism isn't a crime in Germany, so branding something as such might be propaganda but has no legal consequences.

Only when there's no professional playing a role. A self-help group with professional oversight is great.

Are you talking about Germany's ban on fascist symbols and Holocaust denial?

If so, calling that “fascist behavior” is the dumbest shit I've heard in a while. Seriously below “what happened to the tolerant left” level.

Every village had a village idiot, now they network.

Wrong, the science community is slowly switching to bluesky

Less than nothing, it made the world a worse place.

They follow robots.txt

There are different kinds of AI scraper defenses.

This one is an active strategy. No shit people know that this costs them resources. The point is that they want to punish the owners of bad-behaved scrapers.

There is also another kind which just blocks anything that tries to follow an invisible link that goes to a resource forbidden by robots.txt

Much more mysterious!

Who is meant? Nobody knows!

Yeah. Wealth generates wealth. Wealth is power. You got born into a world owned mostly by the super rich, and therefore don't have equal opportunities.

No amount of redistribution will prevent this state from re-emerging until wealth accumulation is made impossible.

It's pure luck: even if the playing field gets completely leveled once, without systemic changed some people will luck out, get wealthy again, buy newspapers and apartment complexes and therefore monopolizes public expression of opinion and profit from living space.

Capitalist anarchism doesn't exist. Capitalism is a form of unjust hierarchy (or if you want to stick to the literal meaning of “anarchism”: capitalism is a way to create rulers)

There are capitalist anti-statists, bit being against states isn't sufficient to make you an anarchist for above reasons.

• Qt “cute” (the UI framework)
• QT “cutie” (QuickTime the Apple media framework)

No, that's the reactionary propaganda doing that.

Everybody living in this world should be aware that words have context and don't always literally mean what their parts mean. And even then “patriarchy” is one of the more literal ones: it comes from “pater”/father in the same vein as “paternalistic”, with the same connotation of overbearing-yet-out-of-touch.

So just from word meaning that clearly doesn't mean all men, and obviously it also doesn't refer to literal fathers either.
