Racism is the -ism of race — the idea that race is one of the (or the) most important traits of a person.
That through race, you can assume things about them like their worth, how you should treat them, how they act, feel, etc.
The way I see, all of these -isms are all like that (sexism, nationalism, etc).
So no, it’s not racist to call yourself white. It would be racist, though, to say you’re worth more or less than others because of your being white.
Guess I’m a member of an ex-military terrorist cell that dabbles in sports, since I’m in Eureka Seven!
Yes! I’m a good girl, and I love anime! :D
As did Pleroma and several other fedi servers — that’s not really innovation, it’s something simple that Mastodon devs deliberately avoided implementing.
I’m curious — what are the features that gamers use as opposed to non-gamers? The only features I can think of would be drop-in group audio calls and rich presence (for seeing what someone’s playing/joining their game). o
My case chiefly rests on his years of white supremacist rhetoric — which you didn’t address. I mentioned those other two bits at the end of my comment. On their own, I agree, they are slightly concerning but not damning; but in the context of his show’s content and rhetoric, they are.
For years he’s been saying things things that white supremacists love to hear: White people are being replaced; legal and illegal immigrants are ruining the US; George Soros hates the west and wants society to collapse (anti-semites love that one); immigrants are dirty, uncivilized; a race war is imminent; anything done to acknowledge racism is racist; BLM protests were violent riots; mass-shooters with racist manifestos aren’t white supremacists; etc.
There are several instances of him associating with and boosting white supremacists online, and even his show’s long-time top writer was pressured to quit after explicitly racist online posts came to light.
This page does a fairly good job of cataloging the sorts of rhetoric he’s used that’re amicable to white supremacists.
We’re out for ourselves, yea. But we’re also out for each other, because we like or need each other. Thinking about things transactionally, that cynicism to avoid getting tricked or hurt… I don’t think that’s conducive to good relationships or a happy life.
I am very very hyped. I’ve been assuming the movie’ll be bad, but this trailer actually looks very cool and maybe even a bit subversive!
I remember seeing the sequel movie in theaters — it was a delight, so many people cosplaying! The movie itself was a very slight letdown, but still very enjoyable. I can’t wait to see this one in theaters, too! Maybe I’ll be a cosplayer, this time. :D
Wanted to pile on the Haibane Renmei train — what a good show!
For somewhat larger projects, I think the OS Haiku is a perfect example. It isn’t a benevolent dictatorship, there is no single leader — there are just long-time contributors. If you send in contributions substantive or regular enough, there’s a good chance you’ll get push access. Patches generally are accepted with open arms, and devs with push access give constructive criticism on patches kindly. The OS is better for it!
Southern US — get black tea, iced. Sometimes asked for sweeter preference.
Hot tea is never on the menu, except for tea houses.
Time spent well…! What a beautiful colour scheme, how nice! It all ties together quite well.
I can very much second the “Otherland” series. I’m not much of a fantasy fan (and can’t manage to sink my teeth into Williams’ other series because of that), but I found Otherland to be a very enjoyable and memorable series. Definitely worth it just for Otherland.
Better yet, check out NewPipe on F-Droid. :^)
It’ll try to render it, even if just as markup (like if you try using and Latex markup for math).
Just as dangerous to connect a random number generator to nukes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The federation with Mastodon is mostly one-way: We can’t see or comment on Mastodon posts, but Mastodon users can see and comment on Lemmy posts.
Mastodon’s like Twitter… its posts wouldn’t fit in the Lemmy UI well. Though I hear kbin works well with both Mastodon-style and Lemmy-style posts.
A community-driven hyper-hackable text-editor
Ah, so it’s Emacs :^)
… it’s not a downside of the protocol, it’s just a literal impossibility. Once someone’s downloaded something, you can’t do a thing to take it back.
