I honestly can’t fathom people identifying with what one would describe as “backlash against the metoo movement”

“Can’t stand hearing all those women say they were raped or sexually harassed. I just won’t tolerate it.”

Love me some street complete! It’s a great way for me to get out of the house and do stuff even when places are closed, since I’m not awake during the day

You sign in with your OSM account, and then when you add information via street complete your account submits the changes without needing to use the more advanced osm web interface

I already do that cause I’m broke as shit 😅 most of what I let myself buy is stuff that makes it a little easier to manage my sleep disorder

Once again, one of the very rare few areas where ai isn’t a completely shitty solution: tasks that are worthwhile and important, but that require labor no one is willing to pay for.

Others include translation, transcription, and image descriptions. Things people won’t put resources into but that should happen anyway

The only problem is that these have nothing to do with why massive companies are investing in this tech. If AI didn’t enable the equivalent of money laundering for intellectual labor, the billionaires wouldn’t give a shit

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it. I’ll see if I can learn more about groups in my area.

This is an unusual question, but do you know any way I can get more involved if I’m not awake when people meet and organize?

I have a severe circadian rhythm disorder and as a result am not awake during the day. All I’ve been able to come up with in terms of contributing is writing cards to potential voters (I got a couple in the mail when I updated my voter registration), and maybe calling potential voters on the other side of the country who are in a different timezone.

I feel really powerless to contribute, but I don’t wanna sit back and do nothing, disability or not :( if you can’t think of anything, that’s okay, I will keep looking for ways to be involved

Thank you for correcting me, I was mistaken.

If I understand corectly, he was appointed Chancellor by the Paul Von Hindenberg who won the 1932 election that Hitler had also run in, and rose to power as the successor to von Hindenburg after Hindenburg died in 1934

I’ve edited my original comment

Interesting, that wasn’t my understanding, looks like I need to go learn some more about that and see if I was mistaken

Thanks :)

I sure as fuck didn’t, I voted against every single fascist asshole on my balot. I’m just angry.

Lol, thats a whole lot of scrolling on my mobile client 😅

As a US citizen, paying for veterans healthcare and early education programs advance my interests a whole fucking lot more than paying this jackass.

Stupid piece of shit, you don’t speak for us.

Edit: I was mistaken that Hitler was elected, thank you to Sem who corrected me below. Hitler ran for office but lost, and was appointed to chancellor by the winner Paul von Hindenburg. When von Hindenberg died a year after Hitler was appointed to chancellor, Hitler succeeded him and abolished the office of president and declared himself Furher und Reichskanzler

I think it’s pretty important that people are willing to grapple with the fact that people will gladly buy into hatred and fascism when a charismatic populist sells it to them as the ails of their people.

Hitler was elected*. If we want to avoid the mistakes of the past, we have to be willing to confront the reality of how they happened in the first place. Hitler spoke to real fears and anxieties people had, and promised things they truly wanted, like a great nation they could take national pride in once again.

Judging people for their demographic because you associate that demographic with behavior you find unacceptable is dumb

Your judgement is with the behaviour, not the demographic. If you wanna criticize religion’s tendency to advocate cruelty towards queer folks that’s a point worth fighting for, but painting an entire group with the same brush and treating an individual with hostility based on how you perceive others from that demographic is dumb.

That’s the same logic bigotry is often cut from.

Edit: corrected “other” to “others”

I don’t have a need for this sort of community, but if you want a queer theists comm you should try making one. Though there may not be enough folks to sustain it; here on lemmy there often just aren’t enough people to sustain small niche communities because if there aren’t posts, nothing shows up on people’s feed, and people forget the community exists. Which is a challenge since most people just lurk and don’t post.

As an atheist myself I really don’t see why so many people have decided to attack you for your way of relating to the world, unless there’s some context I’m missing. The important thing is that you’re kind, not whether you think there’s a god or not.

Judging people for their demographic like what religion they subscribe to rather than how they treat people is stupid. If you’re a dick you’re a dick, and if you’re not a dick you’re not. It’s not complicated.

I don’t give a shit if someone is religious, I give a shit if you’re kind. My apologies for the shitty attitude of replies in this thread OP

Man, I’m horrible about this. Thank you for the reminder

Well that’s less than entirely helpful.

Thank you very much for the explanation!

…why? Like why would someone want that? What the fuck is the point of getting rid of nonprofits?

Wonderful. I get they’re an important ally because we radicalized the entire region against us by repeatedly destabilizing governments and bombing the shit out of people, but for the love of god, they don’t need any more fucking weapons. They have huge numbers already.

The only reason they’d need more is so they can kill more people, or threaten literally all of their neighbors who are not very happy at the massacre that’s happening in gaza. Stop fucking giving them more. This shit costs us money and resources and for what? More senseless loss of life? I’m fuckin tired man.

This might be one of the most tublr things I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t understand it, but I do recognize it
