I'm willing to moderate. Big NJB fan, I watch all his videos when they come out. I'm good at moderation and I have too much free time.

Is this Tailwind HTML? It looks like Tailwind and it's also the reason I hate Tailwind

Population growth is not a cause of climate change worth paying attention to. Most of those extra two billion were born in poor countries, especially in Africa. These countries have a fraction of the per capita emissions of wealthy countries like America that are currently seeing or soon to see population decline. When we're having a conversation about how to control total emissions, it's orders of magnitude more efficient to focus on per capita emissions than on population. For one, we can reduce per capita emissions without getting into ethical issues regarding population control or economic issues like those caused by the one child policy in China.

If you want a car with privacy, you’ll have to buy an old car without a computer.

Or you could just get a bicycle and be free

IMO most "flashy" frameworks betray the principle of high cohesion. Importing a time library to handle timezones is a great idea. Importing a math library to calculate derivatives is common sense for good reason. But huge frameworks that change the entire way a language is written are ridiculous. I'm looking at you, Vue and Tailwind. I usually see these sorts of frameworks used by people who aren't qualified programmers and who don't know software architectures or best practices. In other words, the kinds of people who get promoted to management positions and tell us what frameworks to use.

(Typescript is awesome though)

Uhhhh can I get a boneless pizza

It means giving a bare minimum of effort. Like when there's an important meeting at work and you attend on the phone so you don't have to get dressed or go anywhere. The term came about back when phones were low quality but still convenient, so phoning it in was easy, but frustrating to everyone else.

Or we teach all people to distrust authority and to remove bad leaders

You're right. Apoliticism enables fascism, and should therefore be treated as a fascist dogwhistle

 

My swarmmate is trying to unlock phobos junction by scanning a cephalon fragment on mars, but they just aren't spawning. And I know they aren't spawning, because I have three stacking loot radar mods equipped and I can't find them. I have a personal quarters segment and am liable to find somachord fragments, but we aren't finding those either. I do have one song from Mars. Is my presence the reason fragments aren't spawning? Would they be spawning if she just did the missions alone?

EDIT: She looked on her own and found one real quick. WTF?

 

Transphobes think that bees have telepathy. Like the Zerg in Starcraft. They think that bees literally actually share thoughts and have no individual will like in science fiction. They think there's a "psychic lobe" in the bee brain that causes telepathy. They're not very good at science, and they don't know that bees communicate through dance. They think it's telepathy.

How am I so certain that transphobes believe in magic bees? Because they argue very vehemently that humans cannot be swarmgender like bees are, because humans lack the physiological requirements to form a hivemind. They are referring, of course, to the fact that humans don't have magic powers. Because they think bees do.

 
 

@kool_newt@lemm.ee commented on a thread about me to say I'm faking my gender. Kool Newt, if you're going to harass me, I prefer that you do it to my face. You say I'm faking being swarmgender, and now I want to hear you finish misgendering me. Pick a gender and call me it. Let's see if your moral compass will stop you from being blatantly transphobic, or if you're bigoted enough to finish what you started.

 

@Poggervania@kbin.social came to a thread attacking me to voice a controversial opinion: Since being nonbinary entitles me to avoid all the discrimination levelled against real trans people, I ought to be bullied into no longer identifing as trans, transtrender that I am. I would like to thank them for this genius solution. I never thought that we could solve bullying by just bullying more people! What a stroke of brilliance!

Just kidding, Poggervania is a blatant transphobe who openly advocates harassing and attacking trans people for kicks.

 

For those not in the know, "TexMexBazooka" is the alt account of popular startrek.website user Stamets, who felt the need to personally attack, demean, and subtweet at me for being nonbinary over the past two days.

 

@TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee responded to a meme about swarmgenders to call me a troll for being nonbinary. Out of curiosity, I tried an experiment, and asked if there are any xenogenders they respect. They responded by saying it's "over the line" of made up specialist [sic] snowflake shit.

Make no mistake: This is the average view of people who yell about how xenogender people are "trolls".

Hexbear users love to call people they don't like "wreckers". What is a wrecker? Well, they define it as anyone who holds views which are disruptive to the majority opinion. This is regardless of whether the views are progressive or reactionary. And fun fact: Progressive views are ALWAYS disruptive to the majority opinion, because it's not progress if everyone is already there. If everyone already agrees with it, it's just normal. Reactionary views, on the other hand, usually defend the status quo and the existing systems of oppression. So it's quite obvious that most "wreckers" are people to the left of Hexbear users. This is a consequence of the basic facts of politics.

So, if a Hexbear user calls you a wrecker, take it as a compliment. They're saying that your new radical ideas are too crazy, and the old guard are going to pick a fight with you about it. I've been called a wrecker for the opinions that slurs are bad, we should accept all genders, and we should speak out when authority is abusive. These are awesome opinions, but they are very disruptive to the status quo and they make me a wrecker. If you believe in doing something about climate change, you're a wrecker. If you believe in a communist revolution, you're a wrecker. If you believe in trans rights, you're a wrecker.

"Wrecker" is a compliment, and anyone who uses it as an insult is a right wing reactionary.
