Danke schön! Ich lerne immer noch Deutsch und finde die Memes lustig!

I’d like to order one block please.

Lemmy version: !greentext@sh.itjust.works

Danke! Werde ich machen!

Will do! Thank you!

German. And no, I wouldn’t say I’m very proficient yet. Mainly because I study less than 5 minutes a day.

Considering that I only study 1 lesson a day, yeah.

I see your Arch and raise you a Gentoo.

It’s a one way street tunnel.

What? It’s not a jpeg file. It’s a lossless compression algorithm.

At least they can be forked if someone needs them enough.

Just recovered from that honeypot. Holy shit.

It was the other way around for me. I used to dual boot into windows to play games but the constant switching was annoying. Although in my case, Windows lost. This happened about 15 years ago. And I never looked back.

That’s the kind of neighbour we all wish we had.

Regardless of this claim, the point still stands. No Palestinian I’ve ever met accused Hamas of jeopardising the Palestinian people’s safety. Only Israel does, for obvious reasons.

This is like the police cornering a wanted criminal into a crowded bus and shooting everyone indiscriminately whilst blaming it on them.

I’m honestly curious. Have you ever heard of a single Palestinian accusing Hamas of using someone they know as a human shield? Has anyone ever, really?

The only “sources” backing these “well-known facts” are western media and Israeli-say-so. I’ve dealt with many Palestinians personally (I live in Egypt and we have a lot of them living here), and none of them ever complained about their families being used as human shields. Ever. You’d think some Palestinians would speak up about this by now if it were real.

You know who they unanimously consider unnecessarily brutal and cruel though? The IDF which treats them like less than dirt on a good day.

There is absolutely no excuse for voting for Trump unless you are utterly fucked in the head, or so cynical that you think you might make some Pugh money to survive once the US government implodes.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Google Sheets is a mess on FF too. Cell selection is broken af.

Then it will be forked and the cycle continues.

Probably secure DNS? Try disabling that in the privacy settings page.

It’s a slippery slope.

We don’t do that here. :P

Leave.

How about if you launch a huge magnet well above escape velocity and remotely anchor a space elevator made from a ferromagnetic material to it but the space elevator’s weight counteracts its inertia exactly and holds it in place perpetually. Would that work?

Edit: I swear I’m not dumb, I just didn’t think this one through.

This is beautiful. I hate it.

A biblical-level… oh no.

Good point. Just read more about it and it seems to require certain conditions to trigger a fission reaction the way I described it. E.g temperature, pressure, shape of the payload.

Still, while these variables are uncertain, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Since its critical mass is 52kg, a 100kg of uranium-235 would make a mushroom cloud the moment you put it all in one bag.

I don't think dehumanization works on everybody. Dehumanization works on already kinda shitty people that view themselves as above others. I am not like that personally and I'm sure I'm not nearly the only one. I simply don't see myself as entitled to cause suffering in any other conscious being, human or not

You are not like that, currently. But in the right environment and in the right situation, you’ll find out that to the contrary, you are exactly like that.

Humans are wired to (justifiably or not) vilify anyone who’d pose a threat to their safety, or the safety of their loved ones. Vilify a person or group too many times (e.g with daily mass media brainwashing) and they will be completely dehumanised, eventually.

Now, that threat doesn’t have to be physical, or even real. Just perceived threat is enough. It doesn’t have to be substantiated either.

Look at every racist and extremist in existence and try to understand where they’re coming from. They weren’t born that way. Their environments made of them what they are.

It’s all about empathy. If you dehumanise a group enough they become “other” to your human subconscious, and you exhibit sociopathic behaviour toward them.

The problem is that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you dehumanise someone to the smallest degree and feel guilt (because you’re still a good person), your subconscious will dehumanise them further in order to cope. (e.g they’re criminals so they’ve probably done worse). Then the next time you abuse them, it becomes easier.

This self perpetuating cycle keeps happening until you feel absolutely no sympathy for them, and consequently no guilt.

Now, the real question is whether or not you’re capable of dehumanising someone to begin with. I personally think that yes, we’re all capable, and all it takes is some bad influence (e.g bad preconceptions/media brainwashing), and in the case of police officers, a healthy dose of peer pressure.

How about some Family Therapy for the entire household?

Huh? Pretty sure Guantanamo Bay is still open to this day. Not on the same scale nowadays, sure; but the CCP never claimed freedom as part of its core values either.
