SkyezOpen,

Not gonna click and assume it’s “NO.”

SkyezOpen,

In case you need an anthem while feeling like shit.

SkyezOpen,

Did you ignore the modern parlance part? A zionist is an Israeli nationalist. There’s a bit more to it than “Israel should exist.”

SkyezOpen,

And when I say “nick fuentes is a nazi” do you understand what I’m saying, or do you point out that he’s not actually a member of the NSDAP?

SkyezOpen, (edited )

To be clear, you don’t agree that nick fuentes is a nazi?

2 hours later edit: anyone else find it funny how people with terrible opinions never answer direct questions and prefer to argue semantics?

SkyezOpen,

Correct, if those differences are irreconcilable. I can ally with lefties that want slightly different things, but “America is evil therefore Stalin wasn’t that bad” is not someone grounded in reality.

SkyezOpen,

Person B want Worker Ownership of the Means of Production, and Person C wants literal fascism

Person B being a Stalin defender

They’re the same picture /s

But seriously, the only reason Stalin’s USSR wasn’t “fascist” is because fascism is explicitly a right aligned ideology, but it was essentially fascist in practice. His whole thing was totalitarian rule and blaming enemies of the state for any shortcomings, which is just fascism with a coat of paint.

SkyezOpen,

Person B is also a fascist, and should be let nowhere near power because they will purge person A the first second they can.

SkyezOpen,

Let’s say you and I align politically 99%. Our only point of contention is that I want to kill or jail you specifically. Are you going to ally with me and hope I change my mind later?

This is exaggerated to make a point, not a direct analogy.

SkyezOpen,

You’re saying if I have a good reason, you’re OK with it?

SkyezOpen,

You left out C.

Ostensible leftist that knows what horrific things Stalin did, but thinks they weren’t that bad or even good, somehow. It’s even more detached from reality than example A. Spend some time on lemmygrad and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

SkyezOpen,

So you’re saying if you think you can change my mind, you would ally with me? Or would you try to change my mind first?

SkyezOpen,

I’m glad we reached an understanding here. Where leftists/progressives differ from your viewpoint is that we generally believe tankies cannot be allied with prior to changing their views. Authoritarian governments taking power just about always purge political dissidents. Since progressives are anti-authoritarian, that means them. Allying with authoritarians and hoping to convince them to not be authoritarian before taking power is a losing prospect.

Again, spend some time on lemmygrad and maybe give some gentle pushback on their beliefs and see what happens.

SkyezOpen,

That’s why I said generally lol. But I’ve heard many many more people saying “fuck tankies” than “Hey maybe we should hear them out.”

SkyezOpen,

Yeah he didn’t have any insider knowledge, just seeing the backlash and reacting accordingly.

New homeowner, just sorta winging it... (lemmy.world)

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

SkyezOpen, (edited )

Wood right next to the house is a big no no.

The whole house is wood!

SkyezOpen,

Similar weather conditions. Spatial disorientation is a bitch.

SkyezOpen,

I guarantee furries have already solved this.

SkyezOpen,

Or both at the same time. Why bother with consistency when there’s women to shame?

SkyezOpen,

cracking an old mans skull open

The fact that the national guard stepped in immediately after the cop walked away is so telling. The actual military, deployed with rifles to calm down the riots, gives more of a shit about people than the police.

SkyezOpen,

90hz is enough to prevent motion sickness in vr. That’s a frame per 11ms and that’s basically the limit of human perception. 120 is allegedly even better, but beyond that there’s no point. Yeah we’re rehashing the 30 vs 60 fps debate again but this time for reals.

SkyezOpen,

So this looks like another good year to play indy games, eh?

SkyezOpen,

Almost makes me want to get back in reddit and just spew incomprehensible word salad, just to fuck up the model a tiny bit.

SkyezOpen,

It’s basically the life cycle of the internet. A thing is created for the people, it’s beautiful and loved, it is not profitable at all, they use their newfound user base to generate money, they abuse their user base to generate even more money, a new “for the people” alternative springs up, mass migration.

Skype, digg, and MySpace sort of followed that trend. Now reddit is completing the cycle. YouTube should be next, but it’s significantly more expensive to make an alternative. But I remember when making money from YouTube was a south park punchline. Those were better days.
