It's a nice quote but doesn't really make sense. The eye for the second eye is the first eye, there's only two eyes involved, not a nonsensical endless chain of eyes. This concept of justice predates the quote.

Can one be both? Do what needs to be done, while pissing my pants and wishing that it didn't have to be me doing it?

I've been in a similar situation and believe you. Still don't say it until you're dating, there are plenty of good people who will be scared if you say it too soon.

Even if OP understands their own feelings and does love this person they do know, it's still a bad idea to say that now.

So did the cyanobacteria. The Oxygen Catastrophe wasn't a one-time event, it was a horrific cycle of pollution and death.

“There are some things that simply shouldn’t be bought on credit, whether it’s a 106 baht (S$4) bubble tea or a 50 baht plate of chicken rice,” Vitai told reporters at a recent press event in Bangkok. “We may have gone too far – when people start financing small purchases, it creates a habit of spending money they don’t have.”

— Governor Vitai Ratanakorn

Which "we" has gone too far? It sounds like he's blaming the public for how they respond to monetary policy.

The first rule of traditional personal finance is to keep a cash reserve. But "we" regressively punish that cash reserve, and justify it because we've deluded ourselves into thinking more GDP is good for the working class.

  • Most Americans want manufacturing to come back to America.
  • Most Americans do not want to work at a factory.

These facts don't conflict. Americans want automation. The problem has always been who gets most of its benefit.

Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
