while you haven't said anything overtly wrong, i'm tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can't even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

so it's clear, it's not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we're really saying is we're tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can't tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that's interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So... Yeah. It's internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry

the most active developers in both communities are frequently in both communities, and if they're not, they have a ton of respect for the developers in the other community. The "Neovim split the community" crowd who villifies the Neovim community seems to be a thread unique to people who first got involved in open source through Hackernews and are supremely confident that they know better about what's going on than people who are directly involved

Their evil is an expression of that they're all a bunch of losers who find relief from how much like losers they feel through petty displays of power

Posting to wikipedia because it's the most expedient even though it lacks a lot of the context of how the Indian government has been cracking down on tribal people in Northern India for the past 10 years

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I'm glad you always know what's going on in the metafediverse

the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking

school funding coming from property tax

EDIT: I fired that off quick while I was in the middle of something and failed to explain how this acts as a system of oppression and white supremacy. Schools in high income neighborhoods have better schools because they have more access to resources. Properties in good school zones have higher property values because families with the money to buy homes in those neighborhoods want their children to receive a good education. This creates a circular feedback loop in which people who already have access to more resources are more likely to receive a high quality education. The students from lower income school zones are not dumber. They are simply being strangled by a system that wants to gate them from achieving academic and financial success.

that's the great trick of white supremacy! it lets the capital class convice the working class to work against their own interests

functionally, the global north's oligarchs all support eachother's agendas. Ukraine is nominally part of the global south based on economic pressures. largely, the liberal position of western europe is to stay out of it to avoid retaliation. this is, of course, a fallacy. russia is an aggressor. no one can be made safe by ignoring their threat and waiting for it to go away. the same can be said for the so called united states, china, and india. but largely europe doesn't want to intervene on the side of the colonized in a colonial war because europe benefits from colonialism more than it doesn't
