Those extreme acts happen because of social conditions. Having access to guns does make them worse but they shouldn’t happen in the first place. The problem with mass shootings isn’t guns, it’s the people who malfunction. The solution isn’t to ban guns but to improve social programs. The only thing banning guns does is make resisting the other people with guns, whether police or criminal, a lot more difficult.

3·24 days agoIt’s interesting you took that post because I thought it was a great example of how the language of memes changes with platforms. As the text at the top is just a classic Meme header but twitterified.
To give an example:

For me both of these images are equivalent. They are both memes. Are they not? Its just one is using an older “In your face” style.

While searching for the post I did glance at the replies to the top tweet that suggested that the death Alonso is referring to was an accident. But the zionist account didn’t attempt to refute it so It isn’t relevant to the reaction they are receiving.

And so people can see the alt text I had to compile for this: A meme based on the meme of the parent comment. That’s based on a scene from King of the Hill. Peggy says “I told my readers to harness the cleaning power of amonia, with the whitening power of bleahch.” Hank, horrified, says “Peggy that’s the recipe for mustard gas” except the end of the text is changed to "that’s the recepe for A meme from lemmy that refrences a scene from king of hill where Peggy says: “I t”

25·2 months ago“Vote with your wallet” is not ancap propaganda. “Abolish all money” is.
Edit: read it wrong. In my defence cap and com do sound pretty similar. And I think when I read this comment I forgot they existed which is what those oxymorons deserve.
Just as I started using anarchist.nexus as my main instance.
More of an open source kinda person. I have actually looked at LMMS and Ardour. And have a reasonably good understanding of music. Just don’t think I have enough persistence to focus on it. More of a programmer type.
Oh I’ve been waiting for this. I have two, by the same band The Chainsmokers. “Don’t let me down” and “Something just like this”. Two song I absolutely despise, because I utterly love the first verses of both, and after these two moments of incredible music the song just turns to something that doesn’t connect with me at all. All of the energy that’s build up is released with this dance-poppy beat that just… doesn’t… work… at all. And I utterly hate them because of this. There is so much potential there and yet it’s all wasted. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve been thinking about trying to remix the songs to fix this, but don’t think I have enough musical skill.
Nothing is more despicable than wasted potential, and these songs are dripping with it.
The two languages are polar opposites in this regard, Zig places the burden on the developer and makes it easy for them to produce memory safe software, whereas Rust places the burden on the compiler and makes it hard for developers to produce memory unsafe software.
The article even points this out. I personally think it’s very good to have these two languages for these separate use cases.The right tool for the job and all that.
No thanks. I like my theory to be from the current century. You know the one where we have stuff like the internet, imminent climate disaster and the hindsight of the soviet regime.
Also starting a cooperative is no individual solution. It’s a first step towards establishing a collective economy. Which could fuel the collective spirit and start a political movement.
I actually don’t care about the pay. As long as I can buy food and pay my bills I don’t care. I would be willing to work for less than minimum wage if it meant I could have a say in my workplace.
And honestly it doesn’t even need to be a tech syndicate. I would be willing to work for any syndicate, and most areas have some kind of IT.

2·5 months agoNo need to apologise for both taking your time and your assumptions:
- I don’t expect people to be online and answer immediately. I know I wouldn’t be if I had any way to express my anarchism outside of this. and sometimes you need to take your time and think about what’s been said.
- We all make assumptions when talking with people online. It’s easy to make wrong ones, especially in text as you cannot have the other person immediately respond and correct you.
I appear to have run out of things to say as I don’t really wish to delve into the situation in america. Just hope you stay safe.
It’s been fun talking to you. May we meet again.
My main reason is ideological. Why should I waste my precious time working in a job that doesn’t advance my goals of creating a freer society? while also making pennies for some shareholder at the top? on top of that I get bored of doing the same thing over and over again. I want my work to have more variance.
And I guess while being truly international is kinda difficult it seems that it’s a lot easier within the EU and USA.







Not as much as the relentless positivity around capitalism.
