6·19 days agoit’s a british/bbc-ism I learned the last time I saw a headline like this

5·2 months agoI like this thought experiment and think about this a lot. However this does nothing to remotely indicate the existence of the Abrahamic god. People tell you with certainty that god exists and he’s three persons and jesus rose from the dead yada yada. That’s a complete fantasy derived from literally nothing.
No proof but still believe? Faith.
Not believing in something that has zero evidence requires no faith. I don’t need faith to tell you Cthulu isn’t real
It doesn’t require faith to NOT believe in something. It requires faith to accept religion which cannot be proven.
“Concentration camp” evokes the Nazi style death camps. The USA’s version of this was/is decidedly less about mass extermination of a race. Still a concentration camp, still repugnant. I think the terminology is loaded and it makes it harder for people to understand. Not to mention the dearth of education we have which certainly isn’t helping…
To be fair, heading off implications of racism first and then saying “Russians” still reads poorly to me. I see now that wasn’t OPs intent, and we agree
Im sorry for assuming! You said “Russians” and I’ve seen lots of people not differentiate between the despots in power and the people who live under their fist, and it makes me sad.
Without doubt or racism? Every man, woman and child in Russia? Would it be racist to hate all Afghans because of the Taliban? A portion of the population supports this, but they live in a dictatorship, a kleptocracy. If you do not feel sadness for the loss of Russian life then you’re missing part of your humanity. They’re conscripting innocent and ignorant people and throwing them into a blender. The whole thing is disgusting.
You don’t have to be racist to call Putin a war criminal, or indeed those Russian soldiers who commit those crimes. You can support Ukraine 100% without hating every last Russian. I invite everyone to remember that the true enemy is Putin and oligarchs everywhere
e: this is not directed at op as they have clarified they r talking about the russian oligarchy
16·4 months agoI have a small site that mirrors hacker news but with dark mode and stuff, and it is getting blasted by bot traffic. All the data is freely available from the official api but they’re scraping my piddling site which runs on an anemic VPS because it looks like user generated content. Bot protection does little to help from my provider. Gonna have to rethink my whole architecture now. Very annoying
The word in this context is “censured” 💗

I haven’t had cows milk in years. Somehow all my sauces and things are still turning out delicious! Lots of plant milk is flavored or sweetened. Buying regular/unsweetened almond or oat milk will work for most cases. I am extremely partial to oat milk and I would honestly drink a glass of it
DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF
I mean the Wordpress founder alone should be enough. I work a lot w people migrating from Woocommerce and I have not been impressed. API routes that 500 randomly, horribly messy data, etc. That of course is my biased view based on a subset of Woo merchants. I invite anyone looking to migrate from Shopify to heavily weigh their options.
idk people have to agree in some smoky board room on the correct message and policy and run it by legal or something. i mean there are probably lots of ppl involved
“All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify,” the company told TechCrunch in a statement.
mmm delicious bland corporate platitudes
because they told their front line support to say “no comment” on matters unrelated to Shopify stores? it seems like they took the store down, which really has little to do with the influx of support tickets and calls they likely got. I worked support for years – this is amazingly unsurprising and I think the correct move, if they did indeed take down the store that is.

I leveled with him today and said that I was really disappointed about our conversation and I wanted to talk about it more. I approached them from a place of wanting to understand their position but also make sure they had all the information. I presented everything calmly w wide ranging sources from PBS to the Cato Institute. It’s just a straight up bad idea to deport these people. I showed him that the Heritage Foundation had no actual fact or statistics on their website to support their claims – just that illegals are illegal – he found that compelling.
He ended up saying he was not super informed and that there’s so much propaganda and information overload that it feels like we can’t even know what’s real. Everyone’s lying or has an agenda. I totally get it.
We both got a lot out of it. I think it’s worth it to try engaging with people who are actually willing.
they forgot a single word, fam. why don’t you -
