Israel =/= Judaism

There are Jews who don’t like the government of Israel, and Israelis critical of their own country.

Regardless of the debate of whether admins should be legally liable for not deleting unknown child abuse digital files,

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think seeing a small number of pictures is going to scar you for life. I’ve seen goatse. I’ve seen people decapitated. It’s not pleasant, and I avoid those things, but it’s not scarring.

You shouldn’t use your own experiences to make this generalisation, given that people working at agencies prosecuting pederasts often have to receive therapy or even leave the job after continued exposure.

I am disturbed that people are afraid of unused images hiding on their Lemmy server.

Don’t you think it’s logical for someone to be worried about being vulnerable to being accused of what likely is, in many legal systems, a crime?

If there could be a reasonable debate on this, we could argue: A) Even with accomodations, some people are going to be so unproductive that companies cannot justify hiring them at minimum wage -> B) Therefore, the government could subsidize their salary so that they have the option to contribute and earn their own salary.

Unfortunately, due to the pervasive interests of business, implementations of these solutions tend to result in companies suckling out of the teat of the state, underreporting on the actual productivity of their employees, and often putting them under the orders of managers who patronise them and barely see them as humans, with the subsequent issues that this provokes on one’s daily life.

And this is even without getting into the terrain of people who do have the capacity to be productive, but society doesn’t care about enabling that possibility. Think of people with reduced mobility who are perfectly capable of working in an office, but HR will immediately discard their application without bothering to study if they could be a good fit for the company; or autistic people, who require different sensory and social accomodations (neurotypical have sensory and social accomodation requirements too, but since they’re the norm, this tends to be ignored), and will be immediately assumed to be problematic even when they could be more productive than their allistic counter-parts.

I don’t mean to be defeatist, however. It is not impossible to achieve a proper integration of diversity.

Specialisterne helped Casa Batlló, a tourism-oriented cultural space in Barcelona, to employ and integrate 50 people on the spectrum, and everything has kept working reasonably well over there since then. This is notable because it is a common conception in business that you can’t or shouldn’t employ an autistic person to attend the public, but folks over there are literally getting paid to infodump tourists.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how it’d be possible to systemize the good work Specialisterne and other well educated and well intentioned groups are doing, without attracting nefarious actors that just want to get public funds even if they do a shit job.

The only thing they do with any competence is traffic control.

They do? If that was the case, wouldn’t they actually do something with the rampant amount of bikes without mufflers?

But can the velociraptors be pets?

I’ve been dead a few times this summer.

Making such reasonable and well thought comments under the name “Prager U” should be a crime.

Lemmy devs may have controversal political views, but their software is written with a good intention. KiwiFarms on the other hand use it to target instances.

Let’s go even further than that. Let’s say that the most annoying people around the whole Fediverse are Hexbear. On the worst days, all they do is to organize to spam specific threads, which is indeed annoying, but that’s the extent of it. KiwiFarms is responsible for harassing people until they commit suicide for the heinous crime of being weird. Anyone aware of this who wants to associate with them has no place in civilized society.

Ok, but what if it wasn’t meat industry, but rather self-organized community eating of the rich?

This post is difamation against goblins.

You are never going to have competetent management when they’re forced to follow unrealistic goals due to political reasons.

Excuse me, I’m not socially awkward, I’ve got Ass Burger Syndrome 😤

OK FINE, I ADMIT IT, IT WAS ME. I’M SORRY, I WAS HUNGRY 😭😭😭

?? 👀💦

But you don’t see, comrade!!! We must tactically support the weaker evil that is defending values even more contrary to our own in this conjuncture where they’re provoking perfectly avoidable, immense human suffering!!! If we didn’t, perhaps I’d have to question if my previously held positions were actually the rational conclusion to my core philosophical values, rather than contrarian posturing!!!1!!

Absolutely based.

The Torah and the Bible already have weird sex stuff in it. There’s relatively explicit stuff like the Song of Songs, but then again you also have weird nonsensical incest such as the daughters who get their father drunk to rape him for no reason whatsoever, which you cannot convince me wasn’t written because some Israeli writer was horny. Just people writing about weird kinks like we’ve seen people do ever since the internet went live, except that the fellas making up the religion needed texts to add to the lore and said “Fuck it, let’s get this one in too”.

What I’m saying is that you just have to be born at the right historical time to get your kinks made part of religious canon.

You have to drop the fake humility after years and years of continuously being disappointed everywhere you go.
