I do, and where I live being the first to throw a punch towards anyone for almost any reason is generally frowned upon.

The reason that violence is dangerous in this context is that it can allow a violent minority to oppress and subjugate a majority. By removing it from society in general and de-legitimizing its use the influence of these sorts of people can be effectively minimized.

That’s a terrible comparison. The same can be applied to any state with an aggressive foreign policy - or violent group intent on assailing a legitimate, elected government.

Political violence instead tends to fuel and enlarge these sorts of radical, violent movements, ultimately worsening the situation even further. The antidote is de-legitimizing their entire strategy by enforcing non-violence on an institutional level, a peaceful transfer of power. This shows the general populace that the most dangerous thing in the room is in fact the violent extremist, who needs to be locked up the moment they break the social contract of non-violence.

The fact that there is a “Yes” in the violence box (regardless of target) makes them violent extremists. Besides, from what I’ve seen, plenty of antifa folk will use violence and vandalism against people unrelated to the supposed target group.

Yeah, I honestly give very few shits about the political opinions of the lemmy devs as long as it doesn’t taint the project itself -and if it did at some point in the future, forking an open-source project is stupidly easy.

I even donate a smidge of money to the development effort via librepay - man does need it to live after all.

Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.

Yeah, there’s a huge difference in tactics depending on whether you’re trying to comvince the person you’re arguing with, or the audience.

The latter is soo much easier - often it’s enough to back them into a corner where they out themselves as wrong whatever they say, and they’ll quickly descend into a ball of rage.

Andrew Tate has been charged under reasonable suspicion, as for the accuracy of those charges, it is up to the courts to decide.

Don’t underestimate the impact of ads.

This is speculation, but I suspect long-form ads are snuck in occasionally to catch out people who have auto-play on whilst doing something with their hands occupied.

Someone who just lets YT run auto-play in the background might not notice/be able to skip the ad running.

Rule 2:

No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.

I will also submit Stephen Fry - for afaik being a great guy all around.

Is the series worth watching even for someone entirely uninterested in sports?

I’ll admit, I was stuck on this for a while before posting, trying to come up with a (relatively) recent example.

My pick is Baby from Baby driver (awesome movie btw). It is the story of a young man who partly through poor decisions, and partly through circumstance ends up in bad circles. Throughout the movie, he learns to stand up for himself, what (he believes) is right, and those he cares for.

What I found most compelling however is how he - when faced with a serious choice - takes responsibility for his actions and mistakes, owning up to them and in the process stops the people he cares most about ending up in harms way.

In my opinion, that is perhaps one of the most important parts of being a man, owning and taking responsibility for your actions, even when that may come at a great personal cost.

“The walker” by fitz & the tantrums, absolute banger.

Do you call camping in a campground a “family vacation” ?

I would…

Sure, we never had the latest and greatest, fixed stuff ourselves and such, but we lived in a home that my parents owned and never really wanted for anything. That, to me, feels like a middle-class upbringing, and is what I’d like to be able to provide my own kids when I have them. However, right now the prospect of owning my own home seems increasingly far-fetched.

Idk, it’s FOSS, so you could always try, but just complaining and hoping somebody picks up on it probably also works. I don’t judge :)

You can still make a bug report, so that somebody with the actual means can look into it. If every action is duplicated that’d be pretty severe, if not, well it’ll be closed.
