Legit I encounter this attitude heaps and have difficulty communicating the problem with it. Especially the often invisible but implicit violent threat that precedes any violent resistance and thus causes the violence.

It's really hard to explain why reasonable people resort to armed resistance and the associated atrocities without lighting up the parts of their brain that get them to go "Are you saying terrorism is good?" and shutting down.

Hard to explain without endorsing sometimes.

Umm cowbee, have you considered that by the oppressor's own laws, norms, or terms the violence is legitimate? Whereas the stinky oppressed are doing illegal bad violence or terrorism.

Interesting I think is where Tom closes out, about how the cops used purity tests, gossip, and drama to undermine movements and create divisions.

Something to think about, amidst the endless purity wars on lemmy.

I basically manually exclude results after 2021 now because the internet sucks. I found this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-date-range/ but it is buggy and doesn't remember settings between sessions.

Willing to look at self hosting. It's tedious to always set a date range.

Don't worry though, if you view the package from above (very natural for something hung at eye level) and ignore all the deceptive graphics implying 2 sticks are in there then it technically does state that it is a "starter kit"

This is obviously designed to decieve right? Like no matter what they technically say it is deliberately printed to obscure that the sheath is not around the tube and is actually the second tube, while placing the description in a hidden way. Isn't this sort of anti-customer packaging like specifically not allowed here?

I enjoy books more than internet essays. Sue me.

Everyone could always stand to read more, I think gelderloos is a reactionary shithead who deserves to be trampled to death by a horde of escaped cattle slaves, have read bookchin and graeber and enjoyed them both.

I've also read most of C. Scott's work which is interesting generally although the man seemed a bit incoherent.

Who are some modern anarchist authors worth reading? Give me your difficult academic texts where I'll have to check 200 references. I fucking love them!

Seeing protestors, wave the goddamned flag of the shah (or at least permit people waving it in their number).

This is why you need theory and history. They play games with our fucking lives, divide and conquer has been the name of the game for more than half a millenia now.

A right winger misrepresentating a situation to appear more sympathetic? Say it ain't so.

I came across this after someone I know made some claims about pedophilia prevalence I found unbelievable. Leading me to the survey.

Surveys are hard, there's always some percentage of people that say strange things, and self reports could be over or underestimates of prevalence.

I think that the way the results bundle 19 year old who watch a porn video that had a 17 year old in it, and 50 year old that watched a porn video of a 5 year old together is needlessly inflammatory. While neither is good I think culturally we are generally vastly more worried about what leads to the second, or even what makes the 50 year old look for 17 year olds (i.e. cases where the 19 year old didn't grow out of it).

Still, some of these stats are extremely troubling to me, and I'm interested in what people make of it.

Umm what fuck? This is not going to go well.

Political violence is when you do violence to the political people and the more political the more violence it is. Other violence is never political, especially when it's done by political institutions. The more political the person doing the violence, the less political and violence it is.

There are still cool rocks in the ground. Touch grass, look for rocks, photograph fungi, watch a tree grow through the seasons, skip a rock, laugh at clouds with rude shapes. It's all still there.

Don't do this, you'll be malnourished. Grains aren't a particularly good food group.

Potatoes don't require much prep, are generally cheap and filling, and will be much better nutrient wise. I'd still recommend rice and beans though. Canned beans work if you have no means to cook.

Me approaching Foss developer with bug: Pardon me, if you could grace this lowly worm with but a moment of your attention; I with me a bug report, and I believe I have found the section of code responsible. This inadequate being lacks the technical expertise to fix it and would be eternally indebted if you would turn your monumental skills upon its trifling problems. It would please me immensely if my paltry efforts were of some assistance.

This user: SOFTWARE NO WORK FUCK YOU!

To his credit he undertook sensitivity training and is a much, much, better communicator now.

He used to channel the whole juvenile angry-but-gifted programmer crap, accepted (eventually) the criticisms and did the right thing: changed.

You're definitely on the right side of things when you silence people calling out genocides.

I was thinking about you when I cleaned up this codebase and removed a lot of redundant functions.
