- install a solar system, no matter how big or small
Gee, get a load’a this one, goin round whackin heliocentric planetary systems in people’s yards. Kickin off the gravitational alignment of Earth with their extra “sun and planets” next to the lavender.
I hear they even do dual-star solar systems… pffft… thats just showing off.
Nah, I’s thinking Piefed, but I’ve never tried it so I’ve no idea how successful that part was. Obviously by your comment not very 😆
I don’t really know why mbin isn’t more popular. I tend to forget about it.
I’ve recently jumped onto masto as well. It is far more effective for networking. Its horrible as a news/current affairs feed.
I find Lemmy and Masto complement each other well.
Piefed is supposed to be one that brings the two forms of presentation (lemmy style and masto style) together but you’d have to ask a piefed person how effective or useful that is.
I’ve tried Pixelfed as well, really nice people there. Lemmy is full of cynical bastards (like me), Masto seems full of really motivated and productive people, but Pixellfed I found only genuinely nice people.
On the downside, i found it a bit limited. I suppose because it doesn’t really revolve around a social centre (lemmy’s all and local feeds) like Lemmy does so I couldn’t really orient myself very easily there. Maybe because its feed based and there was only one person I knew a little about there.
Not really a counterpoint, they’re talking about how a person can make their life easier by learning something. Your example is analogous.
You learned a different way to record the written word to make life easier. OP is talking about learning a different way to calculate numbers, to make life easier. They’re the same.
This user manages one of those fantasticly refreshing and nice communities here on Lemmy by the way. These niche communities are here, you’ve just gotta dig a bit. Lemmy is a bit like a stuffy old second-hand bookshop, theres gold in those there shelves… somewhere.
There you go with the book again. Now you’ve said you’ve problems with all religions, so, like me, I’m guessing you’re atheist, if I’m wrong, cool, it doesn’t matter for the point. I’ve got God is Not Great, C.Hitchens on my bookshelf, I’ve also got a little Dawkins. Interesting the pair of 'em, but I would not like to be judged by what they say, even though I share their same disbelief. Point is, a book can only ever be an approximation of the individual in front of you.
You conveniently missed the IDF in that little list, what about the RSF? Don’t get a mention? I don’t have to choose some scary group to replace the Nazi’s. There always seems to be someone else stepping up to that particular base to merrily bat away others lives.
But you’ll only recognise that if you understand the problem with the Nazi’s was ‘what, how, and why’, not ‘who’. As I said in the last comment.
going to deep into Nazism
Surely you’re joking. This isn’t deep at all. Its surface level.
Nazis bad. Why? Because they discriminated against people simply because of the groups they came from. Once they had those people captive they did a lot more than discrimination. Its not complicated.
The discrimination part is what you’ve done with Muslims. Of course, I know that you’re not advocating anything else, but others do, and the general vitriol against a group gives carte blanche to those that would do more. Nazi germany is a great example of this happening in the most horrifying way, but far from the only example. Partition of India is another example, White Australia policy and the Dreyfus Affair are others.
There’d be “fundamental incompatibilities” with only a white Australia, or Christian, or whatever other segmentation you’d like to choose. Overcoming and moving forward with our fundamental incompatibilities is why we have a democracy (flawed as it is) and a somewhat reliable rule of law, and why people who move here value those two so highly.
Theres always another person for people to hate on if they’re looking for a reason. And theres always a reason to be found. Trick is, learning to not hate on people. The default mental framework is to have an ‘other’, but its a much more comfortable life to accept todays differences and work for better tomorrow. For example, I have this problem with anti-vaxxers.
Back to the Nazi’s again. Every time you think Nazis is a good argument, look in the mirror. They persecute whole groups of people simply for being part of that group.
You have it arse about backwards with this Nazi example. Its an embarrassing argument for you.
I’m no fan of any of those people who went in for that shit, but I’m no fan because they persecuted whole groups of people simply for being a part of that group… exactly what you do with Islamic people, and sounds like other groups as well. Hence why I call you on this.
Quote a book all you want, I hear the Nazi’s liked to refer to a certain ‘story’ as well. Doesn’t take away from the exact same moral failure you demonstrate every single time you judge billions of people to be detestable because, sOme worDs in a bOoK.
Judge people by their moral fibre and character, not by whatever books or other paraphernalia is in their orbit or faith. By judging others by not seeing them as our fellow humans is about as Nazi as it gets, whether the brown shirt is there or not.
You well know enough to know it wasn’t ‘who’ the Nazi’s persecuted. Any group butchered, tortured, demeaned and murdered will be as bad, no matter who does it to who. It wasn’t an especially bad act because they were Jewish or Roma, or Gay. It was the ‘what, how and why’ that was the outrageous act. It was the camps, the rounding up of whole and innocent peoples, the murder, torture and slavery of their captives. Its not who, its what, how and why.
Think about the people in Auschwitz, what was the common characteristic, Bread Thieves? Soldiers? Loiterers? Bus Drivers? No. Jews, Roma, any group as varied as they were many (my line) that the Nazi’s decided were “detestable”…(your line).
Don’t miss your trains on account of writing that. It wasn’t worth it. This prick on the web isn’t worth that.
bring up oligarchs or other dumb shit when I criticise Christians/Jews/Hinduism/Astrology/
No I’m sure I would, but you seem to have a bee in your bonnet about one in particular. I don’t really come across your commentary of the others. Which is, notable. I actually just upvoted your astrology comment somewhere else in this thread.
Yes mate it was the oligarch’s🙄
Sure, this is me testing theories. I hope I’m wrong, but you give me no reason to believe your disturbing lack of nuance towards a whole group of people in this world isn’t influenced, as so many (including me) are, by these well funded and ongoing campaigns of division.
quite frankly insulting
I try to be reasonable in my arguments, but sometimes the truth hurts…
Ooh! Thats almost as fun a line as yours from before!
because it gives you uncomfortable feelings (about a quarter of the world)👍
I’ve never said all Australians think like me, they definitely don’t, and thats not due to some zero sum framework about dumbness/smartness. Those aren’t terms I think in, which I might be part of the divide.
Thats why I rarely push back on your survey evidence of Australian thoughts. It usually tracks. I criticise your motivations. I try to get you to ask yourself if this crusade is actually good for,
Promoting hate and division, especially of a huge and such highly varied group to an extent to be almost meaningless, such as ‘islam’ is the very backwards thinking you accuse them of.
Think back to Pauline’s speech last week, ‘monocultural’, is exactly opposite to what is great about this country and backwards as shit. She would certainly be in the red on your chart. The Islamic faiths and the individual people associated with it are as varied as they are many.
No group is made up of only good people, atheists are not some amazing advancement of humanity it does nongood for atheists to think they’re better than anyone else. And theres no such thing as a good people and bad people, thats almost a religious dogma. We’re good and shit to more or lesser degrees at different points in our own lives, thats it.
Lol, we get into it every few weeks. Its funny, in a depressing sort of way. 😅
Its sad because we share the same server, its a somewhat sub-lemmy community apart, I see unrelated subject comments from them daily and find them interesting. So its a shame theres such an unjustified vitriol against, (waves around generally), Muslims.
Enjoy the rest of the show, and hope to see you next time. Dont forget to buy some merch on your way out! 😆
I don’t answer bad faith questions. Which is what you asked.
No answer to my (bad faith) questions?? Didn’t think so,
beCauSe it GivEs yoU unCoMfORtabLe fEeliNgs (aboUt a QuARtEr of tHe wORld)👍
great line…
Good luck with your bigoted crusade, it was a failure from the beginning.
Its just great that theres Australians like you out there actively fucking our relationship with so many good people, all because you can’t accept you were played to hate the ‘big scary other’ by some spoiled oligarch.
I’ve told you before, i hope you listen to this one day. You don’t judge groups of people for the fews crimes. Everybody worked that out thousands of years ago, about time you took the lesson.
Best chance to explain your post is now,
What about the graph caught you’re eye?
What made you feel the need to share it?
What did you mean by your reply to the first commenter?
Don’t be coy about you’re bigoted view now, you’ve started the conversation you obviously want to have. Do lets talk, yet again, about how you have this unreasonable hatred of a quarter of the world. You wanna fly over to some random example that suits your argument from Sweden again? That was fun! :p
For those reading on: We’ve talked a lot about their bigoted view on this subject in the past check our comment histories.
😂 Wrong again Ikt. I know you. And I know why you said,
Thats the pattern you picked up?
I heard journalists at the National Press Club last week with better got-ya’s.
Do you think its the last two+ decades of a staunchly anti-islam media thats had an effect on you? This is such an odd post to randomly come across.
Hey btw, nice to come across an AZer on wild lemmy :)
I thought of a cartoon inspired by this post, it could be funny,
A few people sitting in a quiet room,
Ikt walks in, “I hate Islam”, walks back out.
Confused room ensues.
So I have some advice that you might already be thinking/implementing.
For Lemmy use your three buckets well.
You have,
All
Local
Subscribed
Use ‘all’ feed for keeping an eye out on that bigger social media and taking the value of being ‘informed’ on the current narratives and events.
Pick an area of relatively specific interest, i see your currently on our premier Marxist/Leninist server, if thats anything like Aussie Zone its a completely different bucket of topics thar you will hopefully be able to relate to in a very different way to the ‘All’ feed. If your local server is fairly sleepy or not that different from ‘all’ considwr moving server fedidb or Lemmy Verse might help with server selection.
Use subscribed to drill down and keep a tight list of the niche communities rhat will really keep you happy, don’t subscribe if you only think its important to keep abreast of, keep that list as your happy place. 😊
I’ve recently joined Mastodon. For individual to individual connection it is better. So to my surprise, I’ve found Lemmy and Mastodon work well used as a pair. Even though if I want to, I can see the agonisingly embarrassing comments I make on lemmy very easily from my Masto account.
