Solumbran@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Top Trump Adviser Sergio Gor Was Born In the Soviet Union1·9 days agoSo Russians are by default evil because of their country written on their passport? Or is it about where they’re born? Maybe about their ancestry? Or about their “ethnicity”?
Once you start allowing discrimination based on “origin”, the difference between that and pure racism is just a blur.
Is the guy a spy? Is the guy having ties with another government? Is he behaving in a suspicious way? Those are what matter, his “country” doesn’t, and the fact that people are immediately rushing to say that he’s from Russia shows the intention behind it: to apply a stereotype to someone they don’t like.
As I said, I’m sure that you can find a lot of dirt on this guy that has nothing to do with his ID papers. Right now people are playing like Trump trying to cast doubt on the immigration status of his opponent: they are trying to use a stereotype based on origin to make someone look bad, without any further argument.
At some point people need to stop thinking that morals are something that you can ignore freely whenever you want.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Top Trump Adviser Sergio Gor Was Born In the Soviet Union11·9 days agoSo you agree with the concept of race? Okay.
Saying nazis are not tolerable is one thing, saying they are another race or have an innate difference from other humans is not only useless, but also exactly the kind of idea that allowed them to exist, so the irony is strong here.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Top Trump Adviser Sergio Gor Was Born In the Soviet Union1230·9 days agoYeah, that’s a bit hypocritical to try to attack Trump by applying xenophobic stereotypes on his staff.
I’m sure you can find issues with nazis without saying they are an inferior race, and I’m sure you don’t need weird xenophobia to criticize Trump or this guy.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wonder how many of those who create fake images with AI actually think that the images are “real” and that the AI created them due to some sort of omniscience they attribute to it?43·9 days agoConsidering AIs are mostly a sect now, it doesn’t seem so unlikely.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following?0·13 days agoNo it’s not. At most, you can use it combined (“male worker”) but no one normal says “a male” except when talking about animals. People who use it like that for humans are generally a big red flag.
And you don’t learn to use “mal” and “female” when you learn english, you only find that in toxic masculinity environments.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following?0·14 days agoThe good old red flag of talking about “males and females” instead of men and women like a normal person with a brain.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Exclusive: These universities have the most retracted scientific articlesEnglish41·17 days agoI find it a bit misleading to focus on retractions. Articles being retracted is a necessary thing, and there is nothing more suspicious than a place that never retracted anything.
What matters here is obviously the nature of the retractions, the source of the problem, which generally means whether it’s a fraud or not.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Harry Potter creator and terrible fucking human says to commit sexual harassment on womenEnglish101·23 days agoIt’s a bit absurd to consider money and fame as success, unless you’re a crazy capitalist.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.zip•NFC will work from further away to improve 'reliability' in tap to pay and moreEnglish10·26 days agoYeah, make it easier to sniff
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•How to delete a certain element present on all pages of a pdf?41·27 days agoHow is using a spoon different as to using a military tank? They’re both tools after all.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•How to delete a certain element present on all pages of a pdf?71·27 days agoLook at how to do it with python, you’ll learn interesting stuff, get a working result, and not destroy your brain using a chat simulator as a programming help.
I don’t get why people are fine with comments that are as absurd as saying “to hang a painting, first stab a screwdriver in the wall then attach the painting to it, sometimes it’s not too bad”
I don’t really get the point of the muslim part.
Stays as “funny” without it, so what’s the point there?
It’s not like islam has the monopoly on anti-lgbt ideas.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.zip•An Experimental New Dating Site Matches Singles Based on Their Browser HistoriesEnglish3·1 month agoYeah this sure doesn’t seem like data collection.
Sure seems innocent.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.zip•AI Is Destroying a Generation of StudentsEnglish2·1 month agoNot just that.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do De-Transitioners validate some right wing talking points?0·1 month agoBecause politics are not science and people are very weird when it comes to children and education.
You cannot seriously believe that a country doing something gives it any kind of credibility, right?
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do De-Transitioners validate some right wing talking points?0·1 month agoTrans “treatments” (hormonal, surgery, etc) are one of the best remedies for a psychological issue. In medical views, the amount of people de-transitioning actually prove that the solution to gender disphoria and such (I easily get confused with the exact terms, apologies if I’m making a mistake with wording) is to let people transition.
In comparison, treatments for other problems (like depression, personality disorders, etc) are much much less successful.
The idea that transitioning should have a 100% satisfaction is absurd and coming from far-right propaganda.
I’m not sure everyone would agree on that.
But even then, who gives a shit about how he looks? People have this weird fascination for him as if he’s a newer Jesus or something, pretending that he is the One that everyone should know and respect and quote and love. That’s much closer to an obsession than something about being a good writer.
What’s this obsession with Shakespeare ?
Yeah, and people should have the right to say that you’re a worthless piece of shit as a consequence to that.
