Poems in true chronological order by post date
-> file: fediverse/539 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-246 @user-366 @user-367 @user-353 I think that particular dynamic works in our favor ^_^ one of the best things about fascism is how evil it is, because evil has a smell. Dang I'm riled up now, the part of me that exists in the past wants to swing a sword and lop off nazi heads. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/541 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-216 this is what Earth looks like to the sun ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/542 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-246 @user-366 @user-367 @user-353 Good point. What is one person lopping off nazi heads when compared to a person writing a book that compels others to view them with disdain? I think we need both, but you're right that "the pen is mightier than the sword" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/543 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-246 @user-366 @user-367 @user-353 I wouldn't know, I haven't read any of it, and my mind's too porous to want to expose itself to that kind of thing. Like, no coral reef WANTS to be bleached, but alas. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/544 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-366 @user-367 @user-246 @user-353 I see... I mean, I've spent enough time around plants and animals to know that certain things are instinctual and are passed on through biological reproduction. It's not just that, but my other evidence is anecdotal. But I also know that most behavior is learned, through a combination of circumstance, action, and the intentions behind said actions, taken by the individual who is incorporating behavior into their psyche. So... While I'm sure there's some merit to each part of the "nature/nurture" spectrum I don't think it's really relevant on a meta, socio-political scale. You can just abstract all of those concepts and mark it as a black box called "humanity" and work through whatever socio-political problem, concern, or quandry you're working through. Abstraction is our friend - It hides the details that (while technically may have SOME merit) are irrelevant to the larger-scale decisionmaking, and in fact can often delude decionmakers into being unethical. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/545 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: PSA: aspublic.org is still active, and still archives + makes searchable │ │ all public posts, they have no opt-out, nor do they respect the "Include public │ │ posts in search results" setting │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @user-391 @user-78 I see, it seems you know more than me about this topic. It's true that search engines don't index emails, but I was thinking more of a "cybersecurity" perspective, as in any "sufficiently motivated" individual or organization could access your emails should they so desire. And should they be willing to (I'm assuming?) break a few laws. If it can be done, and if it gives information that could be used for leverage, then you can be assured that someone will do it. I personally worry about people in power who could be blackmailed because their communications were more public than they anticipated. Which speaks to the problem mentioned in this post of the search-indexing-opt-out functionality being present but circumnavigatable. Avoidable? Able to be bypassed? It's an illusion of security. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/546 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-394 I'm transfem, but I figure it's the same thing right? They tell you to get a bigger needle for pulling the hormones out of the vial and then switch to a smaller one when injecting, but there's not really any point in that. I say get the same kind of needle (the small one) and just take a bit of extra time drawing it out. I still use two needles each time, but if I use the "least common denominator" then I can have a bit of extra flexibility with little downside. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
