No, it’s perfectly clear your point is to police ”bad speech” from the slippery slope of bad tone. I don’t fully disagree with you, by the way, but your accusation against OP, for writing something rather mild, is ridiculous. Free speech isn’t a decluttering exercise , removing bad speech doesn’t suddenly reveal a hidden wealth of good speech.

It has never not been normal for people eho are frustrated to call people they disagree with dumb. Insistence to the contrary is total fiction. Democracy isn’t based in perfect harmony and civility – the opposite, in fact. Your false equivalence between OP not being perfectly nice and civil with the absolute worst of hateful shit and threats is not helpful.

She left politics after almost being assassinated by a nazi murderer and after years of receiving threats and very graphic, targeted hate speech.
Annie Lööf herself, as a liberal, would not have considered it a problem that people vocalized their frustration with politics or calling politicians ”fucking dumb”.
You are intentionally sabotaging public discourse and I can’t understand why.

Blaming the right wing misses how the Social Democrats are championing the same dystopian vision and how the rest of ”the left” are happily playing along for a shot at being in the government. Swedish democracy is on its last straws and I wish people were paying any attention to it.

For profit health care is a wild and truly bizarre concept, regardless, but advancements in health care have outpaced inflation by a lot since the sixties

For what ever reason, your assumption that someone would just take it at face value and, presumably, use it incorrectly, made me think of that female redditor that used to call her short brother “a grower, not a shower” in front of people until she learned what it meant.

Still a bit confusing to me. In my jurisdiction, child pornography is the legal term, which really applies independently of whether anyone is abused or have had their sexual integrity violated (e.g a 17 year old, above the age of consent, voluntarily is depicted in a sexual context and voluntarily shares the content with peers, e.g. depicts a child that doesn’t exist)
- Comment on A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It 3 weeks ago:
I don’t quite get it, is it a wider term than child pornography or more narrow (e.g. excludes some types of materials that could be considered porn but strictly speaking doesn’t depict abuse)? The abbreviation sounds like some kind of exotic Surface to Air Missile lol
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 3 weeks ago:
I have an M1 Macbook Air with 8 gb of ram, it performs great for everything I want to do with it – except for the fact that a ”few” active browser tabs are enough to bring the memory pressure to the pain point. Editing HD video? Reasonably snappy for an old, base spec laptop. Browsing a news site? Potato.

I think you’re right, but I’d say it goes wider. Things like Steam sales and Game Pass subscriptions also has favored a bunch of shovelware indie titles and AAAA games: either a game is cheap enough to make the cut/be catalog fodder or it has to be monstrous in scope

Being against a civilian arms race seems like a pretty sane policy in a country where school shootings is a national pastime.
Losing that arms race on walkover while simultaneously losing democratic institutions, that is… unfortunate.

The US is one of the countries I would have enjoyed visiting again, but just can’t see myself ever doing it. In addition to the whole fascist thing being awful on its own, dealing with any US institutions/agencies remains a hard no for the foreseeable future.

It’s not like ”they” held a meeting to decide they were going to get everything for themselves. Rather they’re embracing this inevitable ”feature” of the ongoing collapse of market economics.
Increasing the concentration of financial capital in the hands of a few people changes the value of that capital. For normal people, the dollar value is measured in the cost of food and living space. Billionaires, who despite evidence to the contrary, are human beings, don’t need or demand more of those real resources – say potatoes or tenancy in small rental apartments – than anyone else. In fact, they can in many cases make do with less! They prefer to subside on lobster, filet mignon or whatever fad diet their longevity coach prescribes, and live in lavish palaces and/or bunkers.
Billionaires, and even down to the measly top 10 percent of earners, are the ultimate hedge when things go sideways in the real economy. They allow governments to keep printing money by diverting a tidy sum of it from potatoes and apartment leases to the lobster, filet mignon, yacht and private jet economy – and more importantly, their investment portfolios.
My point being, that malevolence isn’t the main driver here, but a widespread failure of people to acknowledge that the fantasy of limitless growth inevitably must be realized within the confines of the fantasy world of the financial economy by insulating it from the real economy. Because in the latter we eventually have to accept that we have reached the highest amount of potatoes and apartments possible. This failure is on everyone, not just billionaires.
At this point, though, I guess ”they” (Peter Thiel et al) have pretty much decided to help this collapse along with the help of every major government. So I guess you’re right.

The normalization of needless single use products, like straws, by making it non plastic DOES make things worse. It delays real action, like removing straws altogether.
It’s greenwashing inherently unsustainable practices, just like introducing carbon capture technology on oil rigs or hyping electric cars as a way to keep the auto industry going (while suppressing more efficient means of transportation).
If we’re not going to fix shit, then why the fuck bother with mushy straws.
