@mangeurdenuage It's a very special of prepping that involves using a petroleum vehicle then :-).

@mangeurdenuage As I understand it, @celesteh is saying that in some circles an idea is circulating that a glacial period is coming and the Greenhouse effect will be the salvation.
> It's silly to connote that a subject such as ice age is related to a political party/way of thinking.
It makes sense to me that political "conservatives" (Usonian in particular) would find the idea appealing, as it twists keeping the status-quo as a feature even with the changing climate. -
@kaniini What's even the point when Mastodon doesn't support creating a Vysotsky fan group?

Hmm, Well, Extra Credits did it again. This time they tried to jam the idea of "Nazi's are bad people !" into their talk about video games so hard that they are now about receiving 20 thumbs down for every 6 thumbs up.
Meanwhile, yeah I agree with the general message behind what they are saying. We must stop trying to normalize the idealisms of Nazi's. However to blame Video Gamers is Jack Thompson levels of insane to me, especially if you see how the arguements are formed.
Heck I am sure that the fact that there is a president in the U.S.A. who is being called a Nazi like clockwork is doing harm to 'normalize the Nazi's' than a game called "The life of Erwin Rommel, the VR experience"
No use looking that up either, I just had to think of a stupid game title and I had a brain fart about Fennec Foxes earlier...Wednesday, 03-Jul-19 23:23:30 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony Honestly all they can achieve with this is getting nazis to be seen positively in the long run. Think jews for example, they were universally disliked up until wwii, the nazis screwed up so badly with it than they became a group you can't criticize in most of the western world.
More so since what they call "nazis" have nothing to do with what an actual nazi is. Trump is a good example, he might have not delivered on most of the stuff he promised, but anyone else would be laureate after as US president being one of three main actors in the end of the korean war and restart of diplomatic relationships between the DPRK and the USA. Give it a few decades, and once the groups that screech about Trump cease to exist, he'll be seen in an overwhelmingly positive way in historical retrospectives. If these idiots conflate the words "nazi" and "trump", the logical conclussion is that he's a nazi, and therefore nazis are a boogeyman, okish people that are hated by fanatical groups. -
@nerthos You know, I agree with you. But you should probably go watch the video. Heck go with the straight up reply video of this guy https://youtu.be/KngleLumR_U .
I guess the biggest problem is that EC thinks that we should stop to normalize the Nazi's. Those being ACTUAL Nazi's and their ideology, by being extremely patronising to the point of nausea in Multiplayer Games.
Also to tinker with the matchmaking system to do the opposite of rewarding Nazi's. Which is just a system so insane that the moment you write it down you realize that you punish ALL players because your game has Nazi's in them.
Also it was stated that because 'safeguards are being eroded', you might not go off of a website like stormfront because you do not mind playing as Hanz Mit Der Flammenwerfer in some game.
But the birth of a meme, the absolute beginning. "There you are, playing a game, and all of a sudden bam you're a Nazi, you did not ask for this" is golden. I mean, you did buy the game.

@ash @mangeurdenuage I've remembered about something: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between_archaic_and_modern_humans#Denisovans
> I would like to point out that if the regions of this discovery had just happened to be inverted, it would be used as incontrovertible evidence of the fundamental genetic inferiority of certain people.
That doesn't appear to be happening with Denisovans. Albeit it may be as it is a lesser known species of humans than Neanderthals. -
@celesteh There's logic to that.
But it'd take a few centuries for impoverished families on a massive scale to acquire enough funds to reduce inequality to statistical insignificance.
And that's completely ignoring politics and other economical factors like universities getting more expensive every passing day (in the US).
And even then this is completely ignoring the least fortunate who are only concerned with survival and not with education, etc. How are they supposed to climb the social lift without support? -
> My dad explaining over dinner that 'the market' corrects for systemic discrimination.
@celesteh Does that mean that "the market" compensates for any attempt to diminish systemic discrimination? -
@noyoushuttheFrankerZupdad By calling them names and driving over imaginary agents of theirs?

@ash I always thought that Neanderthals are unappreciated.
I guess I should prepare myself for the opposite. -

@mangeurdenuage Not really, except that she posts at HighlandArrow@twitter.com, and she's on !xmpp.
I didn't ask her about community.highlandarrow.com, but I doubt she's forgotten about it :-).
I don't know why I managed through with !loadaverage faster, but it's possible that it is simply because I don't have as much on my plate. -

@thismightbeauser Doesn't matter. There is shock and awe. Does not matter if they even raise concerns you agree with or not. I am just annoyed that it makes a large enough stink that I hear the screeching harpies on both sides of the arguement and it makes me sigh.
