I don't think you understand what "mass murder" means.

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 1 points 5 days ago

But that’s not what it means to the public

I know that. That's why I'm saying something.

Maybe Sean Spicer will take the job back? Someone check the bushes.

I'm saying that the bombing, etc. of Nazi Germany was a justifiable level of force under the circumstances. I'm splitting hairs and making a big deal over the difference between "force" and "violence". I think it's important to know exactly where that line is so as to avoid stepping over it, so I'm not just being intransigent and clinging to a minor point here.

The guillotine symbolizes to me a clear stepping over of the line from justified force to mob violence. And I think we would be better off if everyone shared my opinion.

That's an interesting angle. I had thought the OP was talking about billionaires and oligarchs, a few thousand people tops. But you're talking about an entire political bloc consisting of tens of millions of people.

The cycle will escalate until it is broken. How long it runs before it gets broken might be a useful part in defining "successful revolution": the successful ones break the cycle of violence as early as possible.

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 2 points 6 days ago

That depends on how you define success. It also depends on how you define revolution. If the French Revolution can be defined as ending when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor, then I think that qualifies as a failed revolution.

I don't like fixing my own flat tires. I can do it but not quickly or efficiently; it's not something I can do on the side of the road under duress. I should probably work on that, I know, but in the meantime I take my bike to a local shop and have them do it for me.

But my ebike is pretty heavy, which means a flat tire is basically immobilizing. I've had to call a friend or hire a truck when I get a flat. I'm wondering if there's anything like an auto club for cyclists. Maybe even a service that would fix my flat right there on the spot.

I googled, but don't trust the search results. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Got lost; didn't mind (thelemmy.club)

Took a wrong turn yesterday and didn't realize it for quite a while. Stopped here to get my bearings.

Encountered these big boys while exploring a local bike trail. The photo doesn't do them justice.

Attended the 40th anniversary screening of The Voyage Home in San Francisco tonight.

Nick Meyer was there to answer questions, and was honored by the City of San Francisco with a mayor's certificate for his movies featuring San Francisco.

I cleaned out the junk drawer and found a bunch of Starbucks gift cards that I've received for various reasons over the past 15 years. I used one from 2015 today and the barista was mildly surprised and asked where I got such an old-style card. So I told him about the junk drawer.
