What we call race today are arbitrary and irrelevant traits like skin color, but wait until genetic engineering takes the lead and we have different actual races with objectively superior races.
A good reverse example would be the old testament, which speaks openly of killing sodomites, but western cultures are by far the most progressive on gay rights; even the vatican itself is more tolerant than much of the world.

Moreover, when their owners fall into the water they do not attack or intimidate them. Probably, like most animals, they don't even understand that boats are inanimate things controlled by humans.
To defend that israel does not commit war crimes, I have seen zionists claim that if civilians are used for military purposes (involuntary human shield), they become valid military targets ._.
I understand that many of the humanitarian safeguards and international law can be disadvantageous when only one side gets things right.
But those are important guarantees, they are even used to differentiate the supposedly "good and civilized", if they are discarded every time they are inconvenient, aren't they just dead letter?
The issues that started occurring on Sunday turned out to be more serious than anticipated, extending beyond the application code. We are still working on resolving them to ensure the proper functioning of the website, but we need some more time. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Can you predict when the situation will improve? Should we take a week off?
PS: I think I've seen too many devs in crisis for rolling out "minor" patches late on Fridays or before holidays; there should be an unwritten rule about it.
Of course they seek freedom... for corporations to do whatever they want. It's like privatizing fascism, but pivoting around corporatism instead of nationalism.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military on Friday launched what’s been called the largest aerial attack of the Ukraine war, and one economic-focused Ukrainian outlet estimated the cost of the assault for Russia to be at least $1.273 billion....
I guess there is no need for further commentary on why the strict moderation of a "safe space"/walled garden cannot keep up with the growth of such an open space as activitypub.
So in response to the title, I would think this is fantastic news! You say your principle is "be nice", which I think is great and I wish it was the general norm, but from what I've seen and heard it would be more like "you better think like us, because we aggressively enforce political correctness and ideological censorship". It would be a pity to lose its users, but I simply hate to end up on beehaw by mistake and would be happier to see it disappear.
I don't know in poland, but in many countries there is a legal obligation to report suspicions of suicide risk or self-harm, also the commission of a crime.
On the other hand, the actions of the cops and the politician are flagrant crimes.
Yep, the problem is that there is no way to prove it's a fabrication, based on their background and the content of the conversation it could be reasonable. But it is quite disturbing that they can do so much damage with impunity.
Well known KDE developer Nate Graham is out with a blog post today outlining his latest Wayland thoughts, how X11 is a bad platform, and the recent topic of “Wayland breaking everything” isn’t really accurate....
I think real X11 fanboys are almost non-existent. Wayland wouldn't be so rejected if it wasn't that it still has a lot of compatibility issues, I think most people just want everything to work and don't care whose fault it is.
Did you know that, mathematically, there can be a three-dimensional universe that closes in on itself? If you went in a straight line, you would always end up coming back to the same place.
Believe in math! Or more specifically, with whoever says they understand math!
As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong), apart from religious texts and later references to the religion, his existence is only recorded by one historian (josephus), but it is under dispute whether that text is authentic.
Even hamas, whose morals are conspicuous by their absence, has qualms about kidnapping children. Also to women, but as usual men can only be either potential threats or disposable resources.
