Soon-Shiong was born in South Africa, and under apartheid was considered “colored”. Basically everyone that wasn’t white was discriminated against, Chinese were legally second-class citizens.

It was only well into the 70’s, more than 20 years after his birth, that some Asians started getting “honorary white” status.

I don’t think there’s been any proof that they are anywhere near Ukraine, but there was that one geolocated video of North Koreans in Russia, about 70 miles from the NK border.

That’s because it’s never the same stuff in “pink cocaine”. There is no real recipe, there are many manufacturers (it’s literally no effort, lol).

yes but no but maybe

depends on what a beanis is. according to the UN, “BEANS, DRY” excludes lentils.

I really wasn’t expecting what I found when I looked at https://darkrenaissance.github.io/darkfi/philosophy/philosophy.html

Citing the PKK and Baudrillard to justify a crypto project? Saying the fall of the Soviet Union was bad? Opposing anarch-capitalism?

Kinda weird, and it doesn’t seem like the philosophy has that much to do with the actual code.

restic to a local server and to cloud storage. it varies by device, but usually just everything in /home/. The rest of the operating system should be reproducible, whether through images, ansible, nix, or guix, given the information in /home/.

scheduling is done through systemd, usually (or the non-systemd equivalent). I use BackBlaze now, but I switch around occasionally. restic has policy based snapshot removal, and a prune option.

You’re jinxing it, he’ll last until January 2nd or something

being gay? that’s fine. but doing gay? that’ll get your PMs spammed with Volcel police.

anyways, anti-beanism is revisionism, the 123rd form of liberalism, and you’re lucky you haven’t gotten the wall for it.

we should try to find theory taglines that sound like internet drama taglines, to keep people guessing

I mean, misandry does exist in so far as an individuals prejudice, but not exactly systemically.

A lot of what could be perceived as systemic misandry is really just the more toxic aspects of patriarchy and masculinity. In controlling society, masculinity claimed violence as it’s own. So when men are much less likely to be taken seriously in SA cases, or when they get longer sentences than women for the same crime, it’s the flip side of what benefits men. The power imbalance is overall in men’s favor, which is why it’s not really misandry, but it’s not like it doesn’t harm men in some ways (and I think most feminists would agree with that).

imo misogyny should also just be used for personal prejudice, because it doesn’t really encompass all that makes up patriarchy.

This particular case is a bit interesting, the tweet is a bit misleading. The “banter” was calling the dude a “bald c***”", and the sex-related harassment is just one part, on a whole it was a wrongful dismissal suit. But basically harassment by British law is unwanted conduct related to a protected characteristic, that violates dignity and creates a hostile environment. Sex is a protected characteristic, and all of the parties agreed that baldness was much more common among the male sex, and that bald insults were more likely to be directed at men. The lower court ruled in favor of the dude (after all, it met the criteria usually used), so the defendant appealed, arguing that a sex-related trait has to be exclusive. The judge thought that reasoning was silly, it would mean that “Hiya Big Tits” isn’t sex-related because men can have “tits” too.

So much Isekai would be a lot better if they just did away with the Isekai part. If the main character was just from that alternate world, but grew up isolated, usually the plot would end up the same. And sometimes it seems like the author knows Isekai is a bad idea, so it’s just an introduction and maybe brought up infrequently, but it’s irrelevant to the plot.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, for example, the slime being a salary worker in a previous work isn’t too relevant. It could just as easily be “The Life and Times of an Intelligent Slime”, where the slime has intelligence because it came across an artifact or was born like it. The story wouldn’t change too much.

Isekai is often just self-inserting, but like… not good.

Pretty neat vid, I like how the destruction is actually very obvious and visible.

A lot of other similar videos have vehicle kills where it’s really hard to tell the aftermath, because either the explosion causes a lot of dust and smoke, making it hard to see, or it’s some anti-tank weaponry penetrates, making damage hard to tell.

Kurzgesagt commented on one of BadEmpanada’s videos, and they got into a bit of an argument in the replies. Interesting entertainment.

Accidentally posting non-news stuff in news is literally all of my (2) comment removals

I mix up the news megathread and the new general megathread way too often

I can’t wait!

The IWW isn’t exactly an ML org, but maybe give them a shot?

If you’re somewhere without a branch, it might be a lot of work for little gain, but if you’re near an active branch there could be as many as a dozen active campaigns.
