ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 05/15/2024 (gocollect.com)

Fishflies #6 - Nearing the end of this 7 parter. A kid is shot, the shooter turns into a…thing…, the thing links up with an outcast little girl who identifies with the outcast criminal, somehow this all connects to previous cases and a darker secret in the town that I don’t know yet....

ArcaneSlime,

Tbf the fact that it failed kinda proves his point, and the fact that the ok symbol is “now a nazi dogwhistle” (or, like, that whole “swastika” thing) disproves your second point.

ArcaneSlime,

Can’t tell if you’re saying the hindus/other cultures had used the swastika for years and so that’s why the nazis were able to steal it (which would seem to be applicable to the pride flag as well, also an established symbol,) or that the nazis were able to adopt the OK symbol because it wasn’t well established as a symbol for one group, but rather a general signal for “Ok” since like wwii.

In any case, I doubt it, if that were the reason why wouldn’t they have been successful in taking the swastika but not the pride flag, both established symbols? Much more likely that it didn’t work “because we didn’t let it” which kinda seems to be his entire point imo.

ArcaneSlime,

Early Western travellers to Asia were inspired by its positive and ancient associations and started using it back home. By the beginning of the 20th Century there was a huge fad for the swastika as a benign good luck symbol.

“Coca-Cola used it. Carlsberg used it on their beer bottles. The Boy Scouts adopted it and the Girls’ Club of America called their magazine Swastika. They would even send out swastika badges to their young readers as a prize for selling copies of the magazine,”

It was used by American military units during World War One and it could be seen on RAF planes as late as 1939. Most of these benign uses came to a halt in the 1930s as the Nazis rose to power in Germany.

The irony is that the swastika is more European in origin than most people realise. Archaeological finds have long demonstrated that the swastika is a very old symbol, but ancient examples are by no means limited to India. It was used by the Ancient Greeks, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons and some of the oldest examples have been found in Eastern Europe, from the Baltic to the Balkans .

Single swastikas began to appear in the Neolithic Vinca culture across south-eastern Europe around 7,000 years ago. But it’s in the Bronze Age that they became more widespread across the whole of Europe. In the Museum’s collection there are clay pots with single swastikas encircling their upper half which date back to around 4,000 years ago. When the Nazis occupied Kiev in World War Two they were so convinced that these pots were evidence of their own Aryan ancestors that they took them back to Germany. (They were returned after the war.)

The Ancient Greeks also used single swastika motifs to decorate their pots and vases. One fragment in the collection from around 7th Century BCE shows a swastika with limbs like unfurling tendrils painted under the belly of a goat.

The swastika remained a popular embroidery motif in Eastern Europe and Russia right up to World War Two. A Russian author called Pavel Kutenkov has identified nearly 200 variations across the region.

ArcaneSlime,

Very carefully.

Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies?

I keep being told it’s because of the Republicans that we can’t have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

ArcaneSlime,

Shhh don’t realize the democrats don’t care about you either, some guy will say “both sides” and that would be lame, we just have to be quiet about the failings of the democrat party because the republicans are worse so we can’t even discuss the possibility of making things better.

ArcaneSlime,

Look into installing a custom ROM, some phones are not supported but many are by at least one custom ROM. I personally installed GrapheneOS and recommend that or calyxOS (never used it but hear good things) but those are only available for pixels, iirc LineageOS has the widest support but also isn’t quite as secure. F-droid and Aurora store for apps.

ArcaneSlime,

Kinda same, though I’d like to figure out how to make a raid setup to improve. Atm I just back up my absolute essentials on every drive, and my dotfiles on one (well, two including my install), my totally-not pirated stuff on another, etc. Tbh I kinda use “I can just redownload that” as a back up method lol.

ArcaneSlime,

Man I’d love to see that archive (unless it were anything personal) lol, like a modern day library of Alexandria.

ArcaneSlime,

Got my email, batch 15! I plan on using it as a laptop and repairing/upgrading parts as needed! I know that sounds stupid, but seriously I am just excited to actually feel respected by a goddamn company!

Also gonna try and figure out this whole “VMs” thing, my current laptop with 8gb ddr3 doesn’t seem to really be able to do it, but I’d like to be able to use them for distrotrying (not really “hopping,” is it? Lol) and maybe have a windows one, with the watermark because I’m not paying, for the rare 15-60min per year I need windows.

ArcaneSlime,

Love games?

ArcaneSlime,

Which tbf self selects for “people who kinda deserve it” over “innocent people, at least ostensibly.”

ArcaneSlime,

Yup, and these are the hands we’re given.

ArcaneSlime,

Love that book!

For anyone interested they’re currently releasing a modern retelling in comic book form called Animal Pound, next issue is #5 of 6, and the collected trade paperback will be along later after issue #6.

It’s fantastic imo so far. The Pound has just found their new autocrat, their Napoleon, and shit is getting real for the poor lil bunnies.

Democracy can in essence just be tyranny of the majority, as well. It simply isn’t enough of a safeguard against authoritarianism.

ArcaneSlime, (edited )

Let’s do a fun thought experiment, shall we?

Ctrl+c, [super]+t, vim swap.txt, i, ctrl+shift+v, [esc], :%s/crackers/ni*****/g

Post the results and see if that still has 31 up and 15 down…

ArcaneSlime,

No it makes perfect sense, let me break it down for you.

nah, this is how vegan treat others

See, here he denies that this is how the religious treat people with “nah,” offering up vegans as the “true” exhibitors of this behavior. Now to break down my response piece by piece.

Well “yes,”

He is correct, that is how ideological vegans, the ones who feel you should be vegan for moral reasons and as a result are very preachy and evangelistic, operate.

but “that is because to the ideological vegans, it is a religion,”

but the ideological vegans behave this way due to the fact that ideological veganism is tantamount to a religion

so not “nah” but “yes and-.”

So, with this in mind, the “nah” isn’t accurate, as both ideological vegans and the religious both act with the same vitriolic fervor due to them considering themselves morally superior to their respective “out” groups, so instead of

nah, this is how vegan treat others

It is

Yes (this is how the religious treat others), and this is how vegan treat others, as well.

To further explain the “yes and-” joke, Here is a youtube video from some random guy about the rules of improv. #2- “yes and-” is of particular import to this discussion, as it may be key to understanding the reference.

I hope that helped you understand my complex comment, no need to glitch about it.

(Just preemptively, to explain, see, “glitch” rhymes with “bitch,” and so you see a pun was made in which you said I’m glitching and I said “no need to glitch about it,” you see. I hope this one was not similarly misunderstood.)

ArcaneSlime,

routing all your internet traffic though one company

You mean my ISP which is known to monitor, censor, keep logs, and sell my info or Mullvad who hasn’t been caught doing that yet?

ArcaneSlime,

then the risk becomes the latest available jailbroken iOS could be outdated from the real versions

Flipper0: iOS 17 Lockup Crash has entered the chat juuuust to be annoying.

ArcaneSlime,

I wish I could find one that is just a little less ideological. Not that I have a problem with ideologies, but I have trust issues, and I’ve seen some people justify some shit in the name of their ideologies, and as such I don’t fully trust someone with a policy like:

To be hosted on our servers you have to share our principles of anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, and anti-militarism. Your projects must as well be based on the same non-commercial nature which keep our project alive, and on the desire to share and experience relationships and struggles, with all the patience it requires.

for instance not to monitor my email to ensure I adhere even when they pinky swear they don’t. Again, not that any of that would apply to me nor that they do spy but just the thought that they may us enough. Before someone says some smartass shit, I’d say the same for the opposite but idk many nazi mail providers.

I guess I’ll have to pay, idk, maybe forward email. I’d pay proton if they’d just let me use imap/pop3 without some stupid “bridge.”

ArcaneSlime,

Yes, “and this is one of the limitations,” is what I mean. This isn’t just that one with the pretentious “AI” name, it’s also riseup, disroot, etc.

ArcaneSlime,

Nah, the police in my country can compel use of biometrics but not password/key. I refuse to set them up at all.

Outside that even, on like a phone, what if I’m sleeping and a GF uses my finger without consent? It’s a security hole imo.
