UK Politics@feddit.uk•Caribbean Officials to Raise Slavery Reparations Demands With King CharlesEnglish
51·2 days agoThe abolition of slavery in the British Empire was accomplished by an act of Parliament that paid the slave holders compensation, so no dice there even as a joke.
The abolition of slavery in America was brought about by fighting a war against people specifically fighting a war to keep it.
The point is, this idea is legally questionable even beyond questions of collective punishment and sins of the father, and says nothing about the people actually doing the kidnapping and slave raiding, which are, drumroll, mostly Africans who then sold the captives to Portuguese traders.
All this shit does is create another wedge in the culture war of white grievances. A serious person would be pushing for things that attack poverty and wage gaps for everyone.
I mean, they weren’t exactly subtle about it

Crimes of ICE•It would be a shame if a bunch of human rights activists got inside this open house job fair at Big Horn concentration camp in Hudson, Colorado (08/04-08/05)English

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the m-word a slur for people with dwarfism? If so, what are more appropriate terms to use other than dwarf?
41·3 days agoYes. That’s literally the most offensive term you can use.
If it’s a fantasy world make up a fantasy term. You can either create a word from scratch or just create a more complex term.
For example, insert god name here-favored. Just because modern society considers it a disability with historical persecution doesn’t mean it has to be the case for your setting, or that it has to follow the same patterns.
Of course, you could also make the term everyone uses for her a slur in their world as well. Depends on what you’re going for.
I’d just avoid real world slurs, personally, at least in a fantasy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•To Quote Contact. If alien life does not exist then why is there so much space out there?
19·3 days agoBecause God isn’t real and the universe isn’t designed to support life, that’s just an accident of chemistry and opportunity.
That said, it is a bit of statistical certainty imo. What isn’t certain is that it’s intelligent and conscious, that FTL travel is possible, or that it’s within a million light years of us. Hell, the most reasonable (imo) hypothetical numbers of the Drake equation aren’t even that great for there being intelligent life within our species lifetime in the Milky Way, and that’s with assumptions like “all planets capable of supporting life do.”

104·3 days agoThere is no functional difference between a society that rejects mercy and forgiveness for those who repent their actions and the society fascists want to create.
I’d say be better, Lemmings in these comments, but y’all are clearly far too absorbed in your own self righteousness, like any other villain.

Global News@lemmy.zip•France to abandon 'distorted' Mercator map projection: ministerEnglish
4·3 days agoThe argument for the the new standard is that it is less distorted, not that it is perfectly accurate.
And yet, the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd is going to bitch and whine forever about it.
You don’t understand House, or psychiatry. You know, the thing you need a medical doctorate to do? The thing all MDs have to study even outside of the specialty?
He would absolutely hate himself for missing that risk in your profile and then do some Vicodin to forget. He wouldn’t be shattered or anything but it would absolutely be a piece of the puzzle he missed and he’d hate that.
Edit: hell, Dr Kutner kills himself for that matter and there’s an episode about House treating it like a murder because he refuses to admit he missed the signs

You wouldn’t listen to actual experts and victims over the fact that you really liked that one album. Your opinion means literally nothing.
