i am from Kentucky. i run a k3s cluster at unhelpful.observer, which my online friends use to play multiplayer dwarf fortress succession games on different days of the week

you are both really funny and very talented, where are you from? i wish to know you better

the comfy places always seem to have no political power for the workers. as a comfort-seeker, we get tricked so easily

there’s a wine in k8s suite??

This is a difficult question to answer. Antisemitism might be the one issue, the only one, regarding marginalisation, that people don’t necessarily need more awareness of. I think we’re all pretty aware to the extent to which we can help, and the extent to which it’s gonna happen whether or not we do anything.

Those ads I see (in Kentucky) entangle Zionism with Judaism too tightly, the ‘increased awareness’ smells like a radio show my family used to listen to called “focus on the family”. every Sunday there was story time, and the lesson of the story was usually “damn, if only these soft-hearted parents would learn that is okay to hit your kids, and is actually evidence that you love them with the REAL love.” These ads have the same vibe, because evangelicals are making them, too.

If you want people to stop thinking conspiratorially then for gods sake call out obvious propaganda, you need an amount of nuance most apolitical people aren’t willing to engage with in order to understand that it isn’t necessarily 'the Jews" making all this pro-Zionist propaganda and shaming you for disagreeing with it.

this is a shit take I’m sure, what do i know, but if there are enough Jewish anti-Zionists in the world to do this, you are going to need to end your toxic relationship with evangelicals, they are stalking you. get the cultural equivalent of a restraining order (me asking you to employ a tool that probably doesn’t exist)

sorry for the rant

Wikipedia Chinese room. It’s pretty airtight at the moment.

hey I’m going to be real with you right now. If you take the time to watch this film you will be deeply rewarded. i literally can’t tell you why without fucking it up

the reality is that the working class can currently afford tape drives and might not be able to in 3 years

that’s a really rich life you’ve had to learn about so many kinds of people

i wanna do this ;(

i don’t want to do a whataboutism, so I’ll let that go. but if you ever become curious about Chinese ethnic minorities they are my hyperfixation so DM me at that time

hello lemmy, please watch care of kancharapalem.

the less i tell you about it, the better. it is a very, very good movie experience because of the story, a story built on a house of cards that i don’t want anyone knocking over before you see it, trigger warning there is 1 suicide

do indigenous ethnic groups count or no? china and India together have a few hundred indigenous populations that didn’t get genocided, and a few hundred that did (most before 1900 for stupid reasons). Canada succeeded at almost all of theirs, the west is really good at getting rid of things they don’t want, China tries to construct systems that please them without giving them real power, which is also evil but definitely beats ‘killing the indian and saving the man’

it would take several classes to understand diversity in China because of their government system and long history but this English wiki article is a great start

I’ve always found that it’s better to just focus on what people are likely to become invested in rather than expecting them to read everything. this is a much shorter article, read this one instead:

feels like the end of something important

there are so few people who are interested in things, and even fewer who will communicate this to others, for fear of cringe or social anxiety.

this is a good meme in the sense that it’ll spread for a long time and through generations, but i don’t like anything that might discourage folks from sharing their true, obsessed, incompatible selves with the greater world
