While it is possible DU API munitions have been used in Iran (https://www.cndsalisbury.org.uk/news_items/9279-are-us-warplanes-firing-depleted-uranium-at-iranian-targets) it is certain in my mind that the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian oil facilities and resulting toxic black rain and oil spills (https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-black-rain-pollution-d5f67db4a772775c83dfa3fd303cf25d) will cause far more dire public health damage than any DU usage.

Depends on the instance and community. I’m biased in what I see more often, but I’d bet on e.g. piefed.social you’ll see the term used more in the former sense rather than the latter, vice versa on e.g. dbzer0, and .world is a pretty mixed bag.

Liberals use the term to refer to anyone left of chuck schumer. Socialists and anarchists use the term to refer to authoritarians who cloak themselves in Marxism, Liberation, and Anti-Imperialism while perpetuating oppression through ethnic cleansing, mass incarceration, and wars of aggression.

What’s the “PPB” list?

Not the person you were responding to, but IMO it’s the defense attorneys / legal department working to ensure that the legal outcome is as beneficial to the corporations as possible, even if they “lose”. In this case the fine is a cost of doing business, not nearly enough to actually discourage malfeasance and the legal/ PR pivot to blaming encryption rather than their algorithms is something they hope will tee them up to be able to do even more massive surveillance in the near future.

Yeah, the ones the vent doesn’t catch fire

Not exactly what you meant, but the first thing that came to mind

Negative externalities like these must be re-imposed on polluting companies through democratic governance. Regulatory capture and subversion are carried out by individuals and must be treated as crimes against humanity.

It’s right where it should be. NYC’s continuing legacy as a hub of culture and diversity should be an example for the rest of the country. Better things are possible and we need symbols to rally around.

You sound insufferable

Nalivai closing with “you need to update your mental hatemap” seemed like a petty jab at you considering that they had just described that anti-Romani prejudice is a problem, but I wasn’t sure exactly how they meant it.

Are you using “hatemap” to mean Lodemike’s view of Europeans, or European’s view of minorities?

Possibly like this
