    It is pure mind control though. You can argue that peaceful and civilized societies need individuals who repress and restrict themselves, morally or otherwise, to survive. But that doesn’t change the fact that religion is a mechanism to indoctrinate and assimilate repression. Pure and simple.




  • Quite the opposite. Meeks claims that this was some sort of conspiracy against him and others. Also that the announcement was unforeseen, or that it is a sort of feud. An admission of the utter failure of the document foundation, and a lot of other butthurt comments, etc.

    While this post clearly states that he was most likely part of the conversation from the beginning. That some of those participating were acting in bad faith with finger pointing and holding on to unethical priviledges. That this is a symptom of a much bigger, systemic and older legal problem than Collabora itself. And that this is just part of trying to make things right and ensuring the legal survival of TDF as a nonprofit organization.

    These kind of conversations do get a bit heated up. But Meeks do reek of trying to play victim in a situation that extends beyond himself and still seems likely to be partially his responsibility. Maybe Collabora is right in some way to be angry at TDF. However, all their communications have been very sour in tone and lacking in transparency.

    We should wait to see which way the dust settles.





  • Veto power is supposed to represent nuclear power. The logic is that it is way better for a country to veto a resolution than it bombing another country because they got pissy.

    I always remind people that the UN’s mission is not to solve all the world’s problems, but to stop countries from tearing each other apart and avoiding all out nuclear mutual annihilation. So far, it has succeeded.

    I also hate that it has no teeth against modern issues, like genocides of non nation state peoples. But genocide didn’t even exist as a concept when it was created. The concept was coined by a Jewish legalist who scaped the holocaust.

    BTW, same dude hated the guts of Zionist israel and warned that an ethnostate would lead to genocide eventually. He was 100% right.


  • Gee I wonder what would it take to solve world hunger. Maybe a comprehensive strategic plan that changes minds of decision makers and pressures them through diplomacy and negotiations. Perhaps we could pool resources at the same time to distribute food to the countries most affected by sitemic historical injustice. Someone should manage that complex of a problem. Maybe a neutral governing body that ensures it’s well managed and countries pay something up front towards this problem. We should call it the league of countries against hunger, or the coalition of groups of people. I don’t know, I’m bad at naming things.







  • Beliefs shape the way we feel. There’s no biological reason to feel lonely after masturbation. That’s all pseudoscience bollocks. Female orgasms cause a peak of neural activation, if anything, you should feel more active and hungry to go face the world. But the point is that this changes or differences that are usually quoted by charlatans from neurological studies, while significant, are so tiny as to not be an actual factor at an individual level.

    Humans are also bad at correctly discerning causation and correlation, specially within their own emotional experience. Thus why therapy works, it’s a third party that can more objectively call out your contradictions and point out causes.

    Now I would gather you believe that masturbation is something awful lonely people do and that’s why you feel lonely when you masturbate. This doesn’t mean there’s anything inherently wrong with you. However, most people ignore that most of our worldviews, and beliefs we take for granted are actually cemented in childhood experiences, not always traumatic. But they do build the foundations of our personalities.

    It’s perfectly possible to masturbate then go out into the world with hunger and ambition. Most people do.



  • S24 FE. I hate all the recent changes Samsung has been doing but this phone should last me until 2030 at least, probably more. I’m also the only person on Lemmy who likes OneUI, and I’m OK with that now that all alternative launchers are enshittifying.

    By the time I need to replace it, the market will probably be in an entirely different place and maybe even some Linux versions could be more viable.

    I use Immich, bitwarden, mega, and Tuta. Which covers the backup of everything.
