Yeah they really didn’t think through time zones there…

No time is universal because time moves at different speeds under different gravity. The point of this initiative is to be able to accurately measure time in the moon’s lower gravity.

Part 1

Part 2

Unfortunately, it’s much worse than that

Yeah calling a woman a bitch just oozes extra sexism that calling a man that doesn’t. That’s definitely in slur territory as far as I am concerned.

I saw a headline today about Trump (in private) calling Kamala Harris a bitch and someone referred to it as a slur (presumably against women). Since there’s not an exact equivalent for men, but bastard is usually the “equivalent” male-aimed curse word, I was wondering when we would see someone on beehaw arguing that “bastard” is a slur, but against the children of unmarried parents.

Bastard is only a slur against a person born to unmarried parents if being born to unmarried parents is considered wrong. In older times, this WAS seen as wrong, because sex outside of marriage, and raising a child outside of a traditional family unit, was seen as wrong.

Bastard lost its ‘slur’ edge a long time ago. Trying to call it a slur is assigning “wrongness” to the state of being born to unmarried parents.

Words change meaning over time. Calling someone “queer” used to be an insult (now it can be used as hate speech but I can also say “Oh my friend Lucy? She’s queer.” without it being hateful). For that matter, queer didn’t always have sexual implications (it meant weird) — I feel like trying to call bastard a slur is the same as trying to say “queer” is a slur against the neurodivergent.

You cut off the second part of that sentence. The scam isn’t doing the work from a different location, the scam is that they’re using the money to fund North Korea. This isn’t “Kim gets a job online” it’s “Kim is a state actor that is a security risk at any moment and meanwhile causing KnowBe4 to send money to a sanctioned country.”

There’s a great Veritasium video recently about this exact thing: https://youtu.be/d6iQrh2TK98

It’s a human thing, though. This is just more evidence of LLM’s problem with garbage in, garbage out: it’s human biases being present in a system that people want to claim doesn’t have them.

Yeah, it just replaces the cert files and reload/restarts nginx for me. I don’t want it anywhere near my config files.

Microsoft has been trying to be more proactive about this: they changed all their documentation to say Entra ID instead of Azure Active Directory…before actually changing Azure AD to be called Entra ID…

The Volkswagen e-Golf was literally just an electric GTI hatchback but they discontinued it…

Recompiling my foundation and hoping it still holds the house up when I’m done.

This sort of shit is literally what The Jungle is about, but instead of manufacturing reforms we got food reforms. As long as those fingers and toes don’t end up in the food the main regulators don’t care.

Yeah, here’s a Last Week Tonight about them

Yeah that’s like saying someone setting you up on a blind date is arranging a marriage for you

You’re right, I tend to lurk and up vote when I feel it’s appropriate. I’ll try to do better at making my voice heard if you want to have more contributions and build an actual community.

I’m sorry that your posts in particular seem to irk me to the point at which I felt I had to speak up. I’ll tailor my browsing so that they won’t show up, but I’m not giving up on having the main anti-capitalist community on beehaw as part of my browsing.

Socialist critique of elected officials is absolutely relevant to a socialist community, as is a socialist view on sex ed and nudity; I really don’t know what to say to someone who doesn’t understand that.

When those topics actually engender discussions pertaining to socialism, sure. But based on the discussion under the article about sex ed, it’s mostly just more of the same discussion I would find anywhere else on beehaw — I would think you would want a community slightly more focused. I can’t speak to the discussion re: “Politician bad” because there wasn’t one.

Theoretically, if you are “extra productive” at a specific thing, there is a position you can move into where you do less of the things you’re less productive with and more of the thing you are productive with. And if you are “extra productive”, that should mean less effort for you to put into it: your reward is now less effort at work for the same amount of time and production, and if the thing you’re doing is more complex or dangerous, that slrt of position should be negotiated for better pay by the union.

Instead, the “extra productive” person gets exploited by the employer until they burn out or are Peter Principle’d.

Okay, I don’t want to be rude, and I am going to try to politely convey two things. Please don’t take these the wrong way, as I appreciate the fact that this community exists.

1. You are the primary contributor because you post many, many articles in the span of a few minutes every couple of days. I’m not saying I’m a major contributing member, but getting my feed spammed every couple mornings with posts about climate news (which I accept can be marginally related to socialism), “Biden Couldn’t Care Less About Human Rights” (not really related to socialism, just another “Politician sucks” article, but sure, he’s doing it because capitalism, so just barely getting over the hurdle), and “Why are people frightened that kids will learn abouy sex?” (Absolutely not related to socialism, just a social issue), let’s just say it makes me feel like this community is a dumping ground for left-leaning gripes rather than an actual discussion of socialist action and values.

I will say that I appreciate the posts about the numerous strikes happening around the US and world, those are good posts for this community. However, posting them all at once isn’t creating a healthy community, it’s just making me go “Oh, Wednesday morning is it? How many posts today? 9?” If the posts were spread out in time, I wouldn’t have the same reaction.

2. “I made it and I’m in charge, no other opinions welcome” really is the weakest of arguments.

“Politician does thing, maybe poorly” isn’t the same as “This is an issue that socialism could fix” or even related to workers at all.

This doesn’t belong here the same way “Lauren Boebert kicked out of Beetlejuice musical” doesn’t belong here. “Political enemy of the left does bad thing” isn’t even anti-Socialism, it just is.

I’m confused as to why these sorts of articles continue to get posted to /c/Socialism?
