LB: you should be an organ donor if you can. They do typically wait until you're done with the organ in question.
(Typically, there are some living donor things you can do, which are also awesome and good)

Vorschlag: 1. Klasse im Regio abschaffen und stattdessen schalldichte Kleinkinderabteile einbauen.
@bumblebeedc Heh, Vogelrok feels like they kind of *tried* to do a gradual brake and then realized halfway through that they ran out of track

@bumblebeedc It's just baffling, every single Vekoma coaster no matter how unique or special or old seems to have this exact same behaviour, and only theirs 😅 Sometimes you at least get an (ineffective) courtesy speed reduction before it then slams you back into your seat anyway at the end
"Does it give you whiplash in the brake section" is an entirely too reliable way to identify a Vekoma coaster
@clarablackink Thanks, this helps a lot!
@clarablackink The "lot of extra work" bit - what sort of work are you thinking of here?
@GrapheneOS @J3317 @evilcookies98 @darkyen ... so then include espeak and distribute a separate build that omits GPLv3 components like espeak for the AOSP drop-in usecase?

In those 10 years, homelessness up 575%.
In 2024, 15,000 people were homeless. 9,000 are families.
Cost? €361,000,000.
€40,111/family/year. €3,343pm
50% are homeless for over 1 year. 20% for over 2 years.
Median home price, €355,000.
Cost? 30 years at 3.0% - €1,496pm
€3,343pm clears that mortgage in 10 years.
We are spending more to keep people on the streets than in homes, with walls made of misery instead of brick. Build homes instead of excuses.

:ms_deminonbinary_flag:
anyways make your fucking interactive GUIs/TUIs actually fucking respond to input instead of dying in the drawing thread trying to run an external process or i'll throw your software hard onto the carpet too
@Heidentweet @becha Like, there was a time when asking someone to think about their position in society was a matter of "normen en waarden", and completely socially accepted. That time approximately ended when fascists started telling people that it's unreasonable to do this.
@Heidentweet @becha Yeah. They're not wrong that it's important to understand why fascism appeals, but they also don't exactly acknowledge that this frustration of people with being asked to introspect (which is presented here as some innate annoyance) very much originates from that same fascist rhetoric of "you should not let anyone tell you you're wrong about anything".

Ideology of unbridled desire : HedoFascism (in Dutch) https://archive.is/2025.05.21-125043/https://www.groene.nl/artikel/ideologie-van-het-ongebreidelde-verlangen
@becha "Als het ging om de karakterisering van radicaal-rechtse bewegingen, partijen en hun leiders was het f-woord lange tijd uit den boze, althans in serieuze politieke beschouwingen."
Which rather calls into doubt the actual usefulness and accuracy of that "serious political analysis", given that it completely failed to recognize the rise of fascism...

Pspol, uspol, guns, genocide, armed resistance
I don't mind armed resistance against genocide. When the alternative is letting your people starve and be bombed or shot, my opposition to weapons wanes.
If you know me, you know I hate guns, but my argument is not for those resisting colonization, ethnic cleansing, or genocide. I just want to make that clear. My argument is against white colonizers owning guns, because they are quite literally the problem we must fight against.
Every colonized people who won their land back used weapons from Vietnam to South Africa. If the alternative is slavery, starvation, and genocide, then defend your people how you see fit.
I don't expect people to die pretty for the camera.
summarized version, re: long ethical reasoning, re: urgent vegan food question
@soweliniko Summarized:
Would consuming it cause someone else, somewhere, to buy new ones? Then it's *not* ethically justifiable, as you're just shifting demand.
But would it definitely be discarded if you didn't consume it? Then it *would* be ethically justifiable, because the alternative is that an animal suffered for nothing, not even anyone getting nutrition from it.
