Sure; you can argue that races don’t exist, if you want to be a sophist about it.

Like colours, or species, they’re just a sociocultural construct; ad hoc buckets we use to classify into separate categories something that’s really more of a continuous multidimensional gradient.

But.

Unlike races, racism does objectively, undeniably exist. Racists exist, and they discriminate, and cause all forms of harm and violence upon the people they discriminate against.

It’s entirely irrelevant whether the buckets they use to fit their victims in have any actual existence outside their rotten little brains or not (in fact the fact that races don’t really exist should only make their irrational discrimination even more unacceptable, if anything; and dangerous: you never know when they might decide to change their bucket so that you fit in it).

Racists will discriminate. They’ll cause harm. They’ll cause violence. That will happen, regardless of the actual existence or lack thereof of the races they discriminate against.

And, as long as there’s racism, there’ll be victims of racism.

So, again, sure, don’t acknowledge races if you don’t want to.

But you should absolutely acknowledge racism and its victims (and take into account racist’s lunacies, such as races), since those are 100% real, and even if you currently fit into their “good” bucket, they will affect you, and the people you care about.

when they turn off old.reddit

If they do that I’ll open a reddit account just so I can leave reddit again. 😤

On Connect it’s a lemmy.world user called batman. (The first link works properly.)

Oh, potatoes and molasses
If you want some, oh, just ask us
They’re warm and soft like puppies and socks
Filled with cream and candy rocks

Oh, potatoes and molasses
They’re so much sweeter than algebra class
If your stomach is grumblin’ and your mouth starts mumblin’
There’s only one thing to keep your brain from crumblin’

Oh, potatoes and molasses
If you can’t see ‘em, put on your glasses
They’re shiny and large like a fisherman’s barge
You know you’ve eaten enough when you start seein’ stars

Oh, potatoes and molasses
It’s the only thing left on your task list
They’re short and stout, they make everyone shout
For potatoes and molasses
For potatoes and…

Varrick is a national treasure

The NT kernel is built on top of a hardware abstraction layer, which should make it easier to port it to different architectures.

Revenge. 🤷‍♂️

We have to look at the positive side: from now on, every day will be the best¹ day of the rest of our lives!

1.— Least worst, truthfully, but it works out the same, more or less.

Col Do Ma Ma Daqua!

No spiders yet.

Canada can into nordic?

Plenty of donkeys in Aesop’s fables, too, if those count.

Because they’re psychosomatic and many representations of Christ on the cross show the nails through the palms.

That wouldn’t work, though, they’d soon rip right through flesh between the metacarpals, and the victim would start flailing blood everywhere (supposing they were properly tied to the cross) or drop to the ground. They’ll last much longer through the wrists, lots of small well packed together bones, there.

980ti here, playing Cyberpunk 2077 at sufficiently high settings without issues (if you call ~30fps 1440p with no path tracing “without issues”, that is).

If I can find the time I use my home computer for gaming and watching torrents, but most of the time I spend using computers it’s at work, for coding (hopefully, if there’s any time left after all the daily bullshit), answering emails and whatnot, and swearing at while trying to get them to work.

Don’t know if that counts.

Thank you for the clear, concise, and colourful explanation.

You are both a scholar and a poet.

ACA still B, though, even if in this particular case the victim was a terrorist.

Fascists should be getting shot because they’re fascists, not because cops are violent incompetent bastards who indiscriminately murder people without consequence.

What, Biden wasn’t genociding hard enough so they voted for the orange fascist who everyone knew would be several orders of magnitude worse…?

They don’t seem to be very common elsewhere, but the lemmy devs are tankies, and mostly made it for their tankie friends (and probably weren’t overly thrilled when we normies migrated from Reddit), so they’re disproportionately represented here, even after most of them barricaded themselves inside lemmygrad.

I don’t see why. Bellyache causes stress / crying / lack of sleep, those cause headache. Completely reasonable.

And periods, which can have both symptoms, can start as early as eight years old, so there’s that, too.

Also, I don’t see why a teacher should question why a pupil is sick (and even less why she would share their private information with her partner or anyone else and still be allowed to have contact with children or any position where she might have access to personal information); parent says she’s sick, that’s all the teacher needs to know.
