While it is bad here, it’s not like we’re the only people with a growing fascist problem. Just like obesity and people giving us shit for decades, all of a sudden more countries are having some of these problems.
Keep giving us shit, sure. But just don’t forget to learn from us and shut that shit down while you still can.
Why do we continue to import people who hate us?
Born here. Hate you fucking fascists and you can all go die in a fucking fire. Fuck off.
You make a good point, however a counterpoint: Instance information is not hidden. It would be relatively trivial for a bad actor with resources to DDOS one instance to add other instances.
Woever made this image should learn the difference between line spacing and paragraph spacing…
This is an example
of line spacing which
clearly shows it’s together
And now this is a new
bit that is separate from
the above bit
Readability is important.
I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t exit vim.
I bet this comment actually pissed off some people. Lol
Failures are making occasional news, but bots are getting better at walking. Doing useful tasks will be a few more years, but I think it’s coming.
Damn straight on all points!
Blocked. I don’t fuck around with white supremacist bullshit.
In brief, the people I’m talking about ARE almost all old white men. It just shows who you are that you leap to defend them.
Absolutely hilarious. This is the kind of stupidity I can get behind.
Not the grunts, just the top brass. They don’t care what color you are for you to be sent into the meat grinder.
I didn’t forget, but it is old white men hyper about this, and considering how many old white men are creepy around teens, suddenly being interested in them getting pregnant is extremely creepy.
Teens will always have sex, sure, although many fewer are as compared to previous decades. I’m not so worried about them.
Also… do we REALLY want teens getting pregnant?
Let’s just break this down as a little reminder:
IQ is, for the most part, a stupid measure. Or at least, it measures one specific thing, which is basically how quickly you can learn. That is to say, in theory, if you put someone with a 120 IQ and someone with an 80 IQ into a class, the first one should theoretically outperform the second if they put equal effort in.
I will say this frankly: I have a very high IQ - I was tested first when I was 6 and have been tested a couple of times since. I do have a learning disability - ADHD - and mine is severe, at that. So while I do generally pick up on things faster than some others on average, I certainly don’t pick up on everything quickly. There are subjects I absolutely do not get. And furthermore, thanks to circumstances and the stupid ADHD, here I am at 50, neve having had steady jobs (I did work 5 years one place), in shitty health (six heart attacks, below-knee amputation, congestive heart failure, on dialysis because my kidneys failed), with my wife and I surviving because while we both had ADHD and struggled, she’s been more consistent about keeping work, and definitely contributes more to the household budget.
So a high IQ basically means extremely little. You don’t have to have IQ to find success in life, or even to be highly degreed and an intellectual. It just means that you probably have to work a bit more at it. That one specific aspect of life. And there are many many aspects of life.
Every time I explain how I have difficulties, I get asked:
I can’t think of the others, but I’ve heard them all (as I’m sure you have).
And I have to say: YES. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE THINGS.
(And I have found some things that work for some of the things, at least some of the time)
Sorry about the loss of your arm. :(
Proud of my state.
I’m against gerrymandering, but at this point, I’m way more against fascism. We need the fascists gone (and our oligarchs defeated) at whatever cost. THEN we can worry about fair elections (as it stands, Republicans will still benefit more from gerrymandering that Democrats anyway, so it’s not fair right now and sitll in Republicans’ favour)
