Stolen and reposted because "no alt text" which is especially relevant when you're trying to get a message across to everyone with your posts. Inclusion isn't a buzzword my dude.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began addressing a solemn ceremony in Jerusalem earlier this week commemorating the country's dead from wars and other hostilities, Nir Galon rose to his feet and proceeded with a silent, one-man protest.
“In many ways, I actually think the real idea of #OpenSource is for it to allow everybody to be ‘selfish,’ not about trying to get everybody to contribute to some common good.
“In other words, I do not see open source as some big goody-goody ‘let's all sing kumbaya around the campfire and make the world a better place.’ No, open source only really works if everybody is contributing for their own #selfish reasons.”
If you believe that service to others is the ultimate good but choose selfishness because it works better, i.e., #pragmatism, then your #ethics are at war with reality. And you don’t even get the benefit of feeling good about yourself because that’s #selfish.
Ein großer Teil der israelischen Bevölkerung ist weit davon entfernt, Netanjahus unflexiblen Anti-Zwei-Staaten-Strategien zuzustimmen. Tatsächlich betrachten ihn viele als die Ursache der aktuellen Katastrophe, die sich in Gaza immer noch ausweitet.
WOW. Prince William talking to event organisers at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, 3rd March 2020 (transcribed from a video posted by Time Magazine the next day)
"I bet everyone's like 'I've got coronavirus, I'm dying' and you're like 'no, you've just got a cough'. It does seem a bit dramatic about the coronavirus - is it being a little bit hyped up, do you think?" #AbolishTheMonarchy#Covid

Where is it being hyped up? Where? As far as I can see, no one cares. I saw my neighbour yesterday, I knew she had had covid last week, so asked her how she was. Still testing positive, she said, but I can't see the line unless I have my glasses on. She was on her way to the village hall for the second time to spend more time with more retired people. "I'll just wear a mask" #Selfish
I’m not a hydrologist, but I”m constantly amazed by how many influential people, when commenting on flooding, and possible solutions continue to pedal a dangerous myth. Rivers are NOT too shallow. Dredging is the last thing we should be doing to speed up flow.
Dredging greatly increases risk of flooding to downstream communities …a selfish act of betrayal of one’s neighbours!

To reduce flooding we should be concentrating all our efforts on slowing the flow,. Watersheds need restoration of the sponge effect of natural scrub vegetation & rivers need to reclaim floodplains. Floodplains should return to their natural condition …wet woodland. Low quality farm land in floodplains should be regarded as sacrificial & even in some cases returned to woodland & wetlands. Beavers can help with this at no cost.
You know how some folks watch #wildlife encounter vids & they're like - OMGosh, that's so cute/awesome how they're feeding wildlife from their hands/decks/cabin or car windows?
I'm like - Fuck those dumbass people who are gonna get more wildlife shot because they're #ignorant & #selfish#humans who want a great photo with wildlife more than they care about wildlife.
None of those kinda people "love wildlife". All of those selfish people only love to show off that they've been near wildlife 🤡
There is no benefit to anyone on the left being on twitter.
Nina Turner tweeted "Insulin should be free." some libertarians responded "Nina should pick cotton for free."
Did this obvious racism hurt them? No, they now have more followers than ever. Being over there is just being bait for these extremists to build their network.
Grotesque racist images of Nina, rather than being demoted by the algorithm are being promoted since the people posting them paid for blue checks.
By the 21st #century, it became clear that the human race is not only not smart enough, but also #selfish enough not to take advantage of the opportunities provided by #science and #destroy the planet Earth. Humans wrote this down in science fiction #books a long time ago. It all become a #reality now...
