As I read it, their argument is that fascism can only be sustained if a sizable number of people who would suffer under fascism actively support it.

If only the tiny minority of elites that benefits from fascism actually supported it, it wouldn’t be near the level of popularity necessary to be sustainable.

Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.

Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.

Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?

They’re both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I’ve been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don’t think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.

It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can’t you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?

two guys and their enby buddy

Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as “enby buddy” now.

Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:

If this is your reaction to someone describing cute things they’ve done with their partner, I honestly feel kinda sorry for you.

For junk mail, it might be worth checking if there’s any way to opt-out with the postal service in your jurisdiction.

I know where I live (Canada), you just have to place a notice on your mailbox that reads “No unaddressed advertising”.

Sadly, l’OQLF does not have a suggestion for yeet as of yet.

From Dante, to Jamiroquai, to Nazis, to tunnel, to Caillou. These are all from the same day. I fucking love Wikipedia.

I think it was more of a diss on the quality of the coffee in places with free refills.

I’m a bit of a coffee snob and nothing will beat my locally-roasted specialty coffee in my pour-over, but sometimes shitty diner coffee is what I want.

Désolé, je ne suis pas des États-Unis, j’espère que tu puisses trouver quelqu’un avec plus de familiarité des politiques locales américaines que moi! :)

He’s not entirely wrong.

How is a Jewish person voting for Mamdani stupid?

Clearly you’ve either never had hope or have already given up.

I get it, we’ve all been burned by politicians promising things and never delivering. I think it’s easier to deliver on campaign promises at a local level than in national politics, though. Even at the scale of NYC.

For an example of a mayor of a large city delivering on their promises, look at Anne Hidalgo in Paris (coincidentally, also a member of a socialist party).

It’s not Nazi unless it’s from the Rhine basin area, otherwise it’s just sparkling genocide.

This is what you’re arguing about. The intent in calling them Nazis isn’t to insinuate they’re members of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and no one would assume that’s the intent.

“Nazi” is common parlance as a shorthand for genocidal fascists because the Nazis are by far the most well-known genocidal fascists.

The meaningless semantic argument you’re putting forth is either a useless distraction, or you’re simply purposefully arguing in bad faith to derail the conversation.

That’s what package managers are for, though. Or add the GitHub repo to your RSS reader if you want the details.

Lemmy is a social media, like others have mentioned in this thread I don’t mind this type of post nearly as much if the person posting adds their opinion/analysis/summary.

I don’t know, all the leftists I know love tops.

The whole cast of Team Fortress 2.

I haven’t played that game in over a decade, yet if I read any of the lines from the game, I’ll still hear their voices loud as day. Even just seeing the word “medic” and I hear Demoman screaming it.

I always use a simple diagonal gradient with the three colours of the bisexual flag. I am bisexual, but it’s mostly because I like the colours. Whenever I get a new device, I generate an appropriately-sized gradient for its screen using GIMP.

The one exception is the background of my Steam Deck in desktop mode, which is the following because I thought it was funny:

Most of the various guilds and unions in the entertainment industry have rules regarding proper crediting.
