Carbon-free steel is just iron

[Edit] nevermind I forgot that that I don’t know metallurgy lol

doubtingtammy ,

Thanks for setting me straight! I kinda assumed it was some green washing bs, but the details in the interview are very interesting

doubtingtammy ,

Empathizer in chief

doubtingtammy ,

Cool! So it’s European holly that does this. I’ve never seen a non-prickly American holly leaf, tho

Publishers are a cancer. Knowledge is meant to be shared, freely. (mander.xyz)

The university should be the place demonstrating socioecological change, serving as a site of experimentation and praxis (see Dunlap et al., 2023). This, however, could not be further from the truth. Beside advancing technologies of digital, political and military control (Chatterjee & Maira, 2014), not to mention genetic...

And sci-hub paused adding more papers 😞

I’ve tried to run Ubuntu, mint, Debian, and couple other distros without the terminal to see if I can actually recommend it to non-geeks. And every time, I conclude I can’t because the fucking “software center” (or whatever it’s called) is always garbage, and it’s easier to just use apt.

The only time I’ll recommend Linux to a non-tech person is when the hardware is so old that it would just be junked without Linux.

doubtingtammy ,

The problem with the cli is you need to memorize a whole bunch of new words and syntax in order to do anything. You also need to memorize what not to do so you don’t accidentally erase your system while using rm or cp or whatever.

Even something as simple as copying and pasting, which works the same in every single other program has new rules in the terminal. I mean, think about that. If you’re just learning bash, then the first thing you’ll be doing is copy pasting commands. But even that has the hurdle of 'oh, I guess this is the one program where ctrl-c means something else

Like, how do you look at sudo, cat, man, and apt, and think ‘yeah that’s intuitive’. And forget about multitasking, new users won’t even know how to quit most programs (is it ctrl-q? Just q? Esc? Ctrl-c? Ctrl-d? Wait how do I undo that, is it ctrl-z? Wait where did the thing go

doubtingtammy ,

no.

doubtingtammy ,

I doubt they’re bots on Lemmy. Just severely confused leftists. (Not to be confused with leftists who have valid criticisms of Ukraine/NATO)

doubtingtammy ,

Why does British media get away with anything

doubtingtammy ,

Unless you’re in Russia, you can call it a war. It’s embarrassing to use such a euphemism (and no, I’m not a NATO lib). Of course you are right about the pentagon’s emissions.

doubtingtammy ,

That’s the craziest thing I’ve heard in a while. Every US war has resulted in a bigger military. That’s generally how military spending works

doubtingtammy ,

Chicken nuggets shaped like dinos are a better example

doubtingtammy ,

Maybe they should. A well-written and edited article is still going to be valid and provide needed contex for months. Cable news has fooled us into thinking that if something was written more than an hour ago, we can safely ignore it.

You’re worshipping the 24 hour news cycle instead of actually understanding current geopolitics

doubtingtammy ,

A sign of weakness for sure

doubtingtammy ,

If you knew anything about Yemen in 2024, you’d know that their position towards Israel is supported by virtually the entire population, including opponents of the Houthis. The population knows what it’s like to be starved and bombarded by US weapons.

doubtingtammy ,

I think conservation techniques can count as science. If it was a rare species, the science connection would be more obvious

doubtingtammy ,

A handful of protests aren’t gonna rattle genocide joe

doubtingtammy ,

It’s already well known at work that I don’t just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.

What the FUCK is going on at your work? I know this isn’t always an option, but I suggest you run away. A workplace where you’re considered the weird one because you don’t like snuff vids? I really doubt a complaint could fix that environment, it sounds rotten to the core

doubtingtammy ,

💦💦💦

doubtingtammy ,

Influx of libs. It’s a sign of success for the platform, but holy fuck lemmy.world posters are annoying

doubtingtammy ,

“harm reduction” in the context of genocide is absolutely wild. It’s a genocide, not a heroin habit

doubtingtammy ,

Biden isnt “doing nothing”, he’s actively making it worse. He is directly complicit. How do you not see this?

doubtingtammy ,

Hmm. Let me check my inbox. One lib is complaining about leftists. Another is talking about “harm reduction” in the context of genocide

doubtingtammy ,

But also not so close that I have no time to mentally and physically prepare

doubtingtammy ,

and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t

Source? You can probably point to specific processes that are done better in the US/Europe. But which ones are preventing China from building a reliable plane?

doubtingtammy ,

It’s not logical, it’s ideological. It’s the ideology that allows corporations to run a dangerous experiment on the public without their consent.

And where’s the LIDAR again?

doubtingtammy ,

You don’t know that emissions will only start to fall when the “population begins to fall”. That’s just a wild guess on your part.

To get where we need to go, we will need a decline in lifestyle

This only makes sense if you’re a millionaire. You’re completely missing sight of whose “lifestyles” are fucking us over. The Pentagon is one of the biggest polluters in the world. Oil companies have coated the earth in micro plastics. But you think a “decline in lifestyle” is needed to improve the environment?

doubtingtammy ,

I’m gonna lick Ununennium and you can’t stop me

doubtingtammy ,

Ununennium is still hypothetical

doubtingtammy ,

Fuckit I now welcome the extinction of the cavemdish banana. Bring on the age of megananas

doubtingtammy ,

Not surprising when you look at all the anti-China stuff coming out of mainstream liberal orgs and communities.

doubtingtammy ,

I was just talking to someone today who was all gung ho about the US bombing cities in Iran.

Reddit? Sounds like a reddit discussion.

doubtingtammy ,

They did the same thing after the assassination of soleimani

doubtingtammy ,

Yup. And Ecuador just raided a Mexican embassy last week. It sure seems like the international order is breaking down. Thanks, Biden

doubtingtammy ,

You’re advocating for minefields. Sick fuck

doubtingtammy ,

Are you going to blame Biden for the conservative majority on the Supreme court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson as well?

Do me a favor and google “Anita Hill”. Then google what the chair of the senate judiciary does

doubtingtammy ,

Im claiming that Biden spent decades in the senate enabling the radical right’s rise to power. Some of that was from incompetence, some was from anti-Black and anti-arab racism. Some of it was because the neoliberal policies he supports aren’t that different from what ‘fiscal conservatives’ want.

Biden has had a hand in most of the disastrous policies of the last 30 years - from putting sexist pieces of shit in SCOTUS and drastically expanding the prison population, to invading Iraq and drastically expanding the surveillance state.

doubtingtammy ,

Of course Reagan and the Bushes deserve a lot the blame. But none of them are currently president, and Biden built his career on bipartisanship - even more than his democratic peers. He was there at every step that set the stage for Trump’s appointments that were the final nails in the coffin

I’ve never been supportive of, you know, "it’s my body, I can do what I want with it.

  • Biden in the year 2024
doubtingtammy ,

The context does not make it any better. He is stating his sincerely held belief as a conservative Catholic. He is stating his belief that had guided his policymaking for decades. It’s why he was blindsided by the Dobbs decision. Yes, he supports access to abortion, but as the quote shows, it’s always been more about realpolitik than a sincere belief in the right to abortion

doubtingtammy ,

His personal feelings help explain the decisions he made over the years, such as deciding that Anita Hill was a liar

doubtingtammy , (edited )

this guy was a co-author of “The coddling of the american mind” which is just a reactionary screed about campus culture (have blue haired libs gone to far?). Here’s a podcast that goes into the book podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/…/id1651876897?i=10…

In this article, he’s literally advocating for following the examples set by Utah and Florida with regards to kids and social media. And yes, he’s one of those “social contagion” idiots assignedmedia.org/…/jonathan-haidt-social-contagi…

doubtingtammy ,

Not just an opinion piece, but a reactionary opinion piece.

doubtingtammy ,

Frankly, he needs thicker skin if he wants to publish at this level

Au contraire. He’s not writing for a scientific audience, he’s writing for the NYT bestsellers audience. Thin skin somehow helps with the promotion of these books.

doubtingtammy ,

Like, does anyone actually expect any countries with significant global influence to line up behind Hamas?

Do you seriously think WWI happened because countries “lined up behind” Gavrilo Princip?

doubtingtammy ,

“We’re not in Afghanistan or Gaza,” he says.

I hate this mentality so much. We’re not in Afghanistan or Gaza, but we’re all still human. Their deaths are equally tragic.

It’s even the same weapons a lot of the time! The cops are all kitted out in surplus from the Afghanistan war, and receive “counterterrorism” training from the soldiers currently slaughtering children in Gaza.

Here’s an article from 10 years ago about the Ferguson/Palestine connection. ebony.com/the-fergusonpalestine-connection-403/

doubtingtammy ,

I’m not making a legal argument against searches, I’m making a moral argument for international solidarity.

The lawyer’s statement isn’t that objectionable in a vacuum. But it’s representative of how Americans view the world. We see something terrible in our own society, and we say, “How can this happen here? This isn’t [a country we completely fucked over]!” Then the rest of the discussion is how to solve the problem here, instead of addressing the root cause.

If Afghanistan or Gaza have something similar to the fourth amendment, then maybe I can see your take.

Think of the context the bill of rights was written in. Most of those amendments were a reaction to the fear of an occupying force. Obviously these anti-occupation policies don’t apply to a people under occupation.

Here’s the thing: does a citizen in a crime ridden neighborhood in America have something similar to the fourth amendment? Legally they do. In reality, many don’t. After you have the police bust into your home for no reason without a warrant, you have a different take on the constitution.

Thanks to SCOTUS, the fourth amendment is functionally non-existent for a large number of americans, and the police operate as an occupying force. They use the same weapons as international occupying armies. They train each other. They fund each other. They’re all part of the military industrial complex. It’s all the same struggle
