lemmy is only took off because reddit policed it and kicked most of the users here off.
the problem with policing speech and bullying is it’s totally subjective. i used to be told I was a bully for offering people writing suggestions.
Systematic issues aren’t any one person’s responsibility, and those who thing it is, tend to be violent assholes.
All we can do as individuals is be responsible for ourselves. We are not responsible for other people.
However, the parents are responsible for this 15 year old girl. She is not responsible for herself as she is not an adult.
No. All walls should be padded because we assume everyone is going to walk into them…
not really. i hire in IT. most applicants we get are not remotely qualified and have zero real experience. then if you give them a helpdesk position, they get pissed off they aren’t getting paid big bucks and have the senior admin creds their uni degree told them they deserve. they dont’ want to work their way up like the rest of us did because they were told their ‘education’ makes them an ‘expert’ rather than a total beginner that they really are.
getting a degree in anything doesn’t mean you get senior level pay and creds. but the uni programs like to kids and tell them they will be making 150K to start. They will be making 150K after 10-20 years of working, maybe.
Our starting salary is like 70K. about half what people think it should be. most applicants don’t even know how to use command line tools or other very basic tasks. their knowledge is all largely conceptual and very little of is is practical.
i work in it security and most of my team likes baseball and sports and going to clubs.
it’s ok. people would hate you for being successful if you were. instead of hating you for not being successful.
ICMP gets blocked because it’s a violation of a lot of legal and contractual requirements to allow it on a network.
my company just signed a contract, and this was a requirement of the contract for us to do the work. So now we block it. It’s inconvenient, but we need to make money.
a lot of IT contractual obligations are horribly out of date technologically, but they are a legal liabilty so they have to be enacted. Our contract also required us to not use Windows XP explicitly, this is because a lot of place still do in a limited capacity like for controllers.
it’s not. people think you are weird because they can’t relate and they can’t imagine anyone being content w/o a partner.
desperation for validation and twisting yourself into knots to get it is way more attractive to people. but also why so many people who are attractive are deeply unhappy.
mom, is that you?
being fake and gay is what attracts women tho.
some women is better than no women if you have had no women.
then you go back to no women because you realize it’s better than jerks.
and you have learned to love yourself and get yourself off better than any woman ever could.
the circle of self acceptance and love. and gay.
That’s guilt by association. It’s a fallacy. Lots of national leaders and founders were racists and horrible people in various factors. That doesn’t mean the states necessarily were or are or forever will be.
I don’t claim to be anything. You are making all the claims here about who is what. Where I stand agonizing about genocide and dividing everyone up into pro and anti is simply stupid. My understanding is that the current Israeli government and its hardliner supporters are are engaged in a unnecessary escalated conflict, largely motivated by their own beliefs. However, that has not always been the case and various parties in the government do not agree. The conflict in Gaza is part of a much larger history that goes back centuries and isn’t ‘Zionism’.
But I’m interested in history and reality, not moralizing catchphrases and moral grandstanding over issues for which my views have zero political relevance or impact. I’m not a citizen of the state of Israel.
Going to be that nerd.
These type of wealth disparities existing before capitalism. In ancient grand societies the wealth was controlled by a small elite almost always and class mobility was non-existent.
The issue isn’t capitalism, it’s just that the history of our specifies across various society tends to ebb and flow in various directions in response to historical events and contexts. Go read Piketty’s work on this.
but they are the good feds. not the bad feds.
what do you think about the craft beer industry consolidation currently going on?
Nuanced thinking doesn’t win popularity contests. At best, it only really exists in academia, and even then not that often.
Tired thoughtless ragebait talking points does. Nuanced thinking is the opposite of a ‘rallying cry’ that so many on the left, and the right, use to motivate their constituencies.
I mean, that’s how human beings work. The boss isn’t going to hold himself accountable to his own policies… how many bosses have you had that don’t make exceptions to the rule for themselves?
The good ones are the ones who make exceptions for other people, and the bad ones are the ones who only do it for themselves.
Well I don’t think Nazism is one single thing dude. Not all Nazis are the same and think the same things. Every ideology has internal debates and various camps. It all depends on the specifics, which is why I would rather deal with it user by user and judge users for their actions, not their ideologies/beliefs. I also understand the concept of context. Is a community that is making fun of Nazis by using their slogans, promoting Nazism? A lot of people certainly could not draw the distinction. What about a community that wants to talk about Nazism in a historical context? Is that promoting genocide?
You call it ‘deflection’ I called it being reasonable and not making massive generalizations. Nazism and Zionism are not One Big Thing That is Evil. Lots of people, yourself include, probably have beliefs that are in agreement with several aspects of them, and disagree with others. My beef isn’t with an ideology, it’s with calls to violence, no matter what ideology they are coming from. And lots and lots of people from various ideologies call for violence and perpetuate hate and rage. I see a buttload of it coming from lemmy leftists of various self-identified flavors. If I am going to assume Nazis are evil and bad them for their violent ideology, then I’ve got to basically ban communists/socialists/anarchists too, because by your logic both are equivalently evil.
But the main disagreement we have here is that you think ideologies are the problem. I don’t. I think people are the problem. If a particular insane of ‘Nazis’ has self identified and organized itself around violence and hate, sure I’d ban them. But there are tons of contexts in which discussion of Nazis and their beliefs would be totally permissible and admirable. I myself have done various history projects on the KKK and supremacy and papers on the ideology in my academic career. Am I therefore promoting or believing in Nazi ideology?
In a professional context, like say legit hate groups being investigated by FBI or the press, what is targeted is the actions of the group and the individuals therein. That’s what I’m interested in policing, not thought or discussion.
Autistim is the new ‘touched by god’.
