Just passing through. 🮲🮳
If youre still posting on Pixelfed maybe you could try following @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, and ask people to follow you on Bluesky. That’s a bit more familiar, and you might have a better change at their algorithm than that of Instagram.
I don’t really have a real answer, sorry. Good luck!
The worlds smallest violin keeps getting smaller.
"I left this gigantic capitalist American monolith and the alternative I found was full of leftists! "
Well, duh.
(Obligatory fuck tankies.)
Oh yeah, it seems like half the posts I made on reddit in the end were shadow deleted, and I’m not even sure what I did wrong. Just automatic and instant action from Reddit. At least here when your shit is deleted you know about it.
I’m not here to suffer fools.
And bans come cheap because they’re on an instance level. Go out and find yourself a place where you belong. If it turns out the people you’d like to talk to don’t like you back, maybe recalibrate.
I think it reveals that the antagonist is more used to hunting humans than animals, and that referring to the target as an “it” takes a bit of getting used to.
For the movie it might help make the stakes seem a bit higher, underlining that this is no ordinary hunt.
But also of course it hints that he know the identity. Especially so maybe when he feels the need to correct himself - the vicar gets the feeling something is off.
Shouldn’t we try to gift them our technology so they are better equipped to survive?
Looking at the state of affairs right now, I’m not entirely sure this is the effect the “gift of technology” has had. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up outliving all of us.
Working quite a bit with lawyers and law students it’s endlessly frustrating that so many of them are there not because they have any interest in understanding what the law is or how it relates to society, but simply because they had good grades and they figured a law degree was the natural thing to do.
Follow your interests. If you’re not interested you won’t end up doing interesting things.
The legal industry is about to get upended by LLMs.
As an LLM myself, this weirds me out every time.
The borders of fascism, I guess.
Capitalism favours psychopaths.
These people are successful under capitalism not in spite of being terrible people, but because they are terrible people.
I’m usually not the first person to quote Jesus, but when he said that camels had better chances getting through the heads of needles than rich people had of getting into heaven this is sorta what he was getting at. If you’re not a gigantic piece of shit you’re just not going to get that rich.
Avoiding politics might be wise on some level, but by all means do talk about unionizing.
I think solutions to this is of a very individual nature - it’s hard to imagine a universal solution.
But it seems your addiction might be to beer more than to alcohol itself, for now at least. And (some) alcohol free beer has gotten really good.
So my suggestion is this: Next time beer is on sale, instead of buying a six pack match the value in buying alcohol free beer. When you’re back home you can still pop a cold one, it still feels like a nice reward, and you don’t feel bad after. And you don’t run the risk of developing an addiction to alcohol.
I never had a drinking problem, but I try to always keep alcohol free beer in the fridge these days just because I think it’s a nice treat after a day of work or whenever.
And then you’re on your phone, and typing two spaces at the end of each line is a mess because your keyboard insists you really want punctuation and a space. Because why would you end a sentence with two spaces. Gah.
It’s the kind of pain that will always come with being the first mover. Every active community on Lemmy faced this hurdle at some point in history - it takes a little while to reach critical mass.
Engaging with small communities and encourageing people who are trying to make it happen is a huge help. In addition to manageing your own, of course. Thank you! :)
Thanks for looking into it!
I think maybe it makes sense to consider three different levels of opposition.
The first is the actively anti-human assholes. This is the direction that the US has certainly taken, that the Torys are prone to, and that trans people are at the frontlines of right now. This is where people fuelled by hate actively want to strip people of rights. As far as I’m concerned it’s really the same battle be it for trans people, women, minorities, hell, even white men who are not landowners. I think the people seeking to take our rights away here won’t stop before they have destroyed everything. Trans people first, the rest of us second. I think we’re blessed with this group being very tiny in Denmark.
The second is just pure neglect. I’d say this is where the Torys really shine. Not giving a shit and defunding the NHS gets you to the same point eventually, but just with less opposition. A lack of education could also be put in this box. Denmark is not immune to this, but I think the current government is making an effort at least it some areas that matter to me. That said, I’m not a big fan - I certainly wouldn’t vote for them if I had the right to.
Then, third, there’s the lack of action. This is just thinking that the current system is good enough. Opposition to gender quotas would be a typical example from the women’s struggle - for trans rights, it’s access to affordable trans health care. Here one depends on the realization that in order to achieve a just society, it’s not enough to simply do nothing. I think this is where the fight is mostly taking place in Denmark. It is an important fight, but it’s also miles ahead of the miserable shithole of the first level I listed (aka Amercia).
Then again, that’s just my attempt to make sense of it. There is overlap between the levels, it’s not always clear cut, and it’s easy to slide downwards. But I think it’s nevertheless important to acknowledge that the fight looks very different depending on contexts.
Yeah, when I stated that it literally wouldn’t be a dilemma any more it’s because having the prisoners sitting in the same interrogation room would destroy it, the same way playing poker with your cards backwards would destroy the game to the point where it cannot really be considered poker any more.
Wasn’t making a smarter point than that. :)
I guess there’s a reason people argued about this dilemma for so long in the literature. :)
For cooperation to emerge between rational players, the number of rounds must be unknown or infinite. In that case, “always defect” may no longer be a dominant strategy. As shown by Robert Aumann in a 1959 paper, rational players repeatedly interacting for indefinitely long games can sustain cooperation.
It has been a problem in particular with runes, as they are heavily associated with neo-nazis to the point where at least Scandinavians often feel very uncomfortable around it. Some participants in the debate in Norway are praising the team for reclaiming the symbolism from the nazis.
I personally agree that we cannot surrender our historical legacy to nazis, and I think it’s worth making active efforts to reclaim it. So I think this is a good thing, as long as the team also make sure to celebrate diversity and anti-fascism. I chose my user name here according to a similar logic.
