The lever can reduce the speed of the trolley depending on which way you turn it, but regardless the trolley will gradually accelerate either way.

This state of affairs is not especially surprising – if it were the popular belief that violence is justified to change society in some particular way, then society would already be changed in that way. Just like how no stock on the market can be widely seen as undervalued.

This is why class consciousness is important.

I guess I dislike this post because Zionists usually phrase Israeli’s actions in terms of self-defense. So to people who are already anti-zionist, this post is interpretable; but to pro-zionists, it is at best nonsensical or at worst hateful. Either way – it’s polarizing.

Just seems like the way we should be not using social media.

fair enough, but I’ll point out that having a religious symbol on your national flag is basically par for the course in the middle east.

US Green Card

The image clearly says Extraordinary Ability Green Card (EB1-A). This is not a standard green card.

I mean… weapons can be built for self-defense. Obviously, genocide is what’s happening here, not self-defense. But it’s not like there couldn’t be some alternate universe where ✡ on a tank is not inherently bad.

Kind of an odd post.

TOTP ≠ MFA.

The purpose of TOTP is to use 1-time codes instead of (or in addition to) passwords, and doesn’t require multiple devices.

The purpose of MFA is to ensure the user uses multiple devices to log in. In practice, MFA isn’t usually implemented correctly, as it only requires a phone and no other device to log in, so it’s not true MFA. MFA is sometimes implemented with RFC 6238 (TOTP), but for example getting a text message or email with a log-in code is not that.

Your password manager should use a secure password so that attackers can’t get into it. It’s more secure than a phone, which often use few-digit passwords or, god forbid, fingerprints or face scans to unlock.

FYI everyone, you can install an authenticator app (like KeePassXC) on your laptop, so you don’t need to use your phone.

Agree with the message here, but I wish they wouldn’t do the racist big nose thing.

(Also, censoring “Israel” isn’t going to make it go away.)

(darth vader voice) pray I don’t recognize yours.

I have started to recognize usernames. This is a problem.

Perhaps the original is right-wing, though this happens a lot (e.g. the “change my mind” guy). This meme seems anti-collective shout, so I’d place it left wing.

What about Ethereum? I always thought Bitcoin was something to avoid since it’s proof-of-work.

To steelman him for a sec – just as it’s good to call out your own team when they do something wrong, it’s also a virtue in many people’s minds to acknowledge when the other side does something good. You can say the rules are different if the other side are fascists and we just have to punch them, but (a) I don’t think that it was clear to everybody in the first weeks of Trump’s presidency exactly how fascist things were going to be (this was when he’d gotten ceasefires don’t forget) and (b) I still wouldn’t consider it a cancellable offence either way, even if it’s misguided liberal behaviour.

Anyway, such behaviour tracks with being a liberal, and I’m not at the point yet where I’m wanting to cancel people for being liberals.

FYI it’s not like he’s pro-MAGA or anything. He’s a known liberal supporter in fact. All he did was tweet that Gail Slater was a good nomination. Personally, I think it’s a good thing to praise one’s political enemies on the rare occasion they do something good. Here’s an article with a deeper look.

my bad, I didn’t see the quotation marks on “‘Free-thinker.’” Thought this was just a meme against thinking freely for some reason.

Free thinkers can also say “communism is good.”

as for chips & salsa, tex-mex food is kind of an interesting case.

Land stolen from the Native Americans in almost all cases. (That’s different from the other items in this list, which were produced or invented or traded.)

i disable autocorrect because i hate it when it guesses the wrong word much more than i dislike making a typo.
