I am, that’s why I know that the lived reality in Germany and the US doesn’t resemble Nazi Germany in the slightest. The pogrom in Rostock-Lichtenhagen, the MOVE bombing, the Waco siege, and so on happened decades ago. In Nazi Germany, the state wantonly attacking “others” on that scale while crushing resistance like that was the daily norm, cheered on by the general public.

There’s absolutely no comparison to what’s happening these days: not in scale, not in public acceptance, and not in institutionalization. It’s tragic what people are suffering from, but it’s completely insane to think that we’re living under fascism. Have you seen the images of Auschwitz? Have you read a single interview with someone who actually survived fascism?

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying: if you want to reduce the risk of just dropping dead, make sure you properly recover from viral infections, which are a major reason of that happening.

You obviously have no idea how bad it can get.

One lesson to take is don’t take viral infections lightly. Don’t exercise while recovering from a cold, covid, or the flu. Viral infections can weaken your heart temporarily and exercising in that state can damage your heart.

Yes, and tar works the same, it just doesn’t handle zip files.

And even if we’re pedantic: bsdtar is Arch Linux’ executable name for a port of the tar command that is shipped by BSDs, so it’s also tar.

One example for it is … tar!

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tar.1.html

It’s insane that this isn’t consistent.

Any combination of -h, -? and --help exists between tools (from 0 to all 3 of them)

Why remember/include the algorithm? Tar can infer that. It’s just bsdtar xf filename.* for everything. (bsdtar handles .zip as well)

But you did insult. You asserted that living in a city isn’t a voluntary choice, therefore taking agency away from people who choose to live in a city.

You’re both pivoting (now you’re suddenly talking about production) and wrong. Cities produce cross pollination between minds. Art, science, philosophy. Cities are where the ideas for photovoltaics were seeded and developed. Cities are where most music genres emerged.

We live in a world where currently, the most popular alternative to city living is being a narrow-minded redneck who holds their gas guzzler as the ultimate expression of freedom. Anarchist communes in the countryside might be part of the solution, but I bet you that what’s going on in and around the city will also play a vital role.

I’m not disagreeing with your core message: monogamy isn’t “older” than polygamy. But neither is it the other way around: We probably did both since very long ago.

The notion that there’s a human “tech tree” of civilization is wrong. E.g. Agriculture doesn’t “follow” hunting and gathering, and neither does centralized power (like in a state) “follow” agriculture. Humans have been experimenting with social structures since basically the beginning.

So within the last tens of millenia, there were probably societies that were monogamous, some that were polygamous, and some that rotated or did both, and of these some depending on some social stratification and some depending on personal preference.

Seems like you grew up in a very puritanical place.

Nudity is objectively neutral.

What an asinine take. I choose to live in a city because I can meet many different friends in many different interesting spots, where we can e.g. eat excellent iterations of different cuisines.

All without sitting my ass in a car and driving for an hour to meet a single couple that lives in some other hamlet. Or having to plan the exact amount of drinks and food to consume before the evening starts. And I can do that multiple times per week if I please.

You like living in the countryside, I get it. Don’t pretend that’s somehow objectively better lol

Traditional relationship models are so weird.

Making up all these different definitions of “cheating” vs “emotional cheating” and distinguishing them from other instances of hurtfully not honoring agreements.

It’s just that: people have an agreement with each other and one of them expressed that it’s very important for them emotionally for the other to honor it. Then the other didn’t. That expectedly hurts.

Why is there a special word when the agreement is about sex?

When in doubt, blame zoom. The sheer amount of completely different outlandish weird bugs and glitches as well as the fact that they were told what the correct API for screen sharing on Linux is just for them to completely ignore that and do something weird, specific, niche and bad instead … I’ve never seen something like that since like Windows xp.

I’m completely convinced they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing on the frontend (app and web) and just have the latest newbie hire hack things together until it kinda works on their machine.

That reminds me of cool spot, the 7-up mascot game. It was so fucking hard!

If they’re really that stupid, more people will figure out that cracked games don’t have flaws like this.

“the dispossessed” is an absolute classic and I enjoyed it a lot.

Yeah, if all those complainers want something more modular, they’re free to push for protocols that allow to leverage existing components while also allowing for them to come from multiple vendors.
