No one is saying this is a genocide at the "hands of the Jews". Jews are not a monoculture, and while there are Jewish people involved in this genocide, this is clearly at the hand…

Curious, what makes that not safe for work? It's a discussion about a handgun manufacturing error, and the manufacturer's failure to respond adequately to it.

Because English language news sources aren't particularly interested in developing the relationships necessary to report on Chinese scientific breakthroughs. It undermines the prev…

Just out of curiosity, what do you think an ion is?

You are describing people misusing the expression "Dog Whistle" and then saying that's the definition. It's fine to say people overuse the term, or apply it incorrectly, but like, …

That's not what "dog whistles" are, lol. Dog Whistle means "coded language" basically. Dog whistles are where someone says something that their audience will understand to mean a s…

> I wouldn’t really care how someone got to the end result that is a PR. I can generate 1,000 PRs today against an open source project using AI. I think you do care, you are only t…

China is expected to have hit peak coal consumption this year, and within 25 years it might not be burned as a base generation fuel any more. The trend line there is clearly renewa…

Would reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reverse current problems? On it's own, it would start to, yes. It would reduce global temperatures, reduce weather irregularities…

That's needlessly complex. It's means testing for CO2. Means testing is a huge waste of effort, imo. If the US, Europe, Russia, India, and China stop burning fossil fuels, we'll be…

Stop burning fossil fuels, build infrastructure to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Extract the minimum number of fossil fuels necessary to serve non-fuel uses. The solution is n…

It has nothing to do with "white guilt" or fetishism. It's not a race thing at all. It's a "my nation recently and currently systematically exploited people. I would like my nation…

That's not a generalization. That's a totally separate argument. Making someone whole for the loss of a phone does not require you to provide them housing (which is significantly m…

Generalize this line of thought. "A thief stole an iphone and dropped it on my doorstep. I kept it, despite knowing it was stolen, because I did not ask the thief to steal it for m…

I've been to plenty of Food Not Bombs events where people are being fed and the prevailing attitude was, "If there are people needing to be fed, let them come and we'll feed them."…

Plenty of big thinkers out there think nations and citizenship are outmoded concepts, or they are concepts that provoke needless violence. They find their own nationalities an emba…

No, but they benefitted from the colonialism and fight efforts to return those benefits to the colonized. We're not talking about something that happened thousands of years ago her…

Open Source was always a collection of anarchist experiments in different ways of working. It turns out that it's quite effective and popular, and people will organize themselves n…

Many such cases. The Democrats, (in)famously, conflate the two. Ask Democrats about direct democracy and you'll get a whooolllle lot of hemming and hawing.

A whole of stuff here feels... emotionally loaded in a way that's designed to be manipulative rather than heartfelt. Saying "A gun craves to be shot" is a clear example -- guns don…
