But, Superman is such a good, kind-hearted hero that it’s basically impossible to be a good person and be anti-Superman.
Right, the main complaint is that he’s so perfect it’s boring.
And also that he has a pretty Western/USA centric sense of morality, which you think Western chauvinists like conservatives would eat right up.

I’ve never seen these two together. Now this is cinema.
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 4 weeks ago:
When I first read this I thought the title was “tech illiterate” which I thought was a bit rude, but anecdotally true.
Sure we’ve got healthy linux and programmers communities, but I think most people are just regular degular folx.

Yeah the wild swings in exchange value instantly preclude its use as a currency.

Right? Like I don’t understand the mindset.

Orgies still happen. Open relationships, too.
If you don’t want to be exclusive then don’t enter into an exclusive relationship.
I agree we could be less uptight about open relationships, but this is really about a rich filthy person being humiliated at a time when most of us feel powerless to stand up to money in any real capacity.

Is this deep or am I just stupid?
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 1 month ago:
I think it makes sense when you consider there are many government workers who do not support the genocide of Palestinians, and would be more vocal about it if they the political capital that, say, a large protest nets you.
It’s actually possible to end this with only the ingredients we have available right now.

It’s fun for hiding little easter eggs.

Thoughts in a contiguous sequence??!!? What utter bloat! Why even have a past or future when a pure consciousness need only experience the horizon of an infinite present.

We’ve gotten to the point where you aren’t considered a real professional unless you start even the smallest projects with maximum technical debt.
They’re just following the model laid out by the venture capital model, really.

Hmm, you kind of lost me with these metaphors. No offence, I’m just not sure what is supposed to represent what here.

But if the guy who created the FOSS movement says something gross, then they and everything they stand for should apparently be shunned.
They might mean that, but they didn’t say it. I don’t think they did mean it. I think they just don’t want people to forget the “problematic” aspects of someone before we go all worship mode on him.
It’s like how my partner will interject–he’s canadian!–if I mention some actor. Like she just doesn’t want me to forget that context, but other than that, I can carry on.
Maybe they did mean that, though and I’m missing some context from somewhere else in this thread.

Do you have like a blog or something? Good bit of writing, this.

Randomly reminds me of some of the freakier social scifi to come out of Asimov’s typewriter. I remember one Robot story where the audience insert protagonist goes to an outer world colony where the incest taboo is not only missing, but it’s considered a faux pas to avoid sex with your family. One of the characters is in deep consternation because he doesn’t want to have sex with his daughter. Anyway, the protagonist and audience are naturally disgusted, but clearly it stuck in my head.
Academically… I don’t know. Because of my upbringing, I just can’t see it is as anything other than a severe moral crime. But I guess I could imagine a very very different world from our own where it wouldn’t be the weirdest fucking thing imaginable to even talk about it.
But that’s me bending over backwards to get inside the head of someone I think I like, like our buddy Stallman here.

I mean if they’re utilities, we shouldn’t let a board decide what should rightfully be in the hands of taxpayers. Really they should welcome a stable (OK maybe not so stable in the US atm, but generally…) owner as the government.

It’s a really popular alternative to substack, for one. That’s mostly how I know about it — many writers of conscience migrated over when ss went rotten.
