  Same logic applied to something the right does:

  “We are not banning books, we are just not allowing them in libraries and schools. You can always buy them if you feel the need to expose your child to them.”

  So, following your logic, the right isn’t suppressing information about LGTBQI+ people.

  Dont get me wrong please, I don’t think right wing content should stand unchallenged. I am just not a big fan of only allowing the “correct” information. Because, that is what the right is doing already (while screaming about free speach, mind you). I think it’s better to engage with right content and destroy it with arguments, rather then just banning it. I know I’m a minority with that opinion on Lemmy. I’m fine with that.

  I would argue that censorship includes the suppression of information in its definition, not only it’s removal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to play devil’s advocate and ask: How is it not censorship?

  So going trough this the reason the AI replied like it did is because the user used a feature called “quick question” that can only respond with text and not code. (It’s the last answer marked as “solution” in the linked thread.

  Still funny tough.

  Not Safe For Work, mostly nudity, sometimes violence.

  I don’t know where you are doing the switching on or off part.

  I do this over my app (Boost), where I have to turn it on (show NSFW content) to see it.

  Fuck. Like, I need a new vehicle, yet my dad has a 2022 truck that already needs a new transmission. I already put 8k in my 2007 vehicle to keep it running, but I can’t do it anymore. Are there any fucking newer cars that just fucking run?

  I study social study and frequently use papers that are referring to Karl Marx. Or feminist literature from the 70s. Or black literature from the 60s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So Jesus called gentiles dogs and only healed the daughter after her mother crawled in the dust? Not very loving, which is what OP pointed out. The two added verses don’t change that.

  Also, he admits here that he is there for the lost Sheep of Israel.

  I always find it funny how Christians rally around a guy who called them dogs and made it clear he doesn’t care about them, just because a random dude (Paul) had “visions” of Jesus 30 years after his death and from there on pretended that gentiles were part of the ingoup. While contradicting Jesus as well if the church of Jesus actual fucking brother on this very issue.

  It’s just wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belgium's sex workers get maternity leave and pensions under world-first law⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No sex worker should feel ashame for their job. The ones I know don’t at least.

  I get you were joking and I see how my comment may come over as prude. It’s just that it’s a very harsh Industrie that is often marginalised. More often than not it intersect with people of lower class seeing it as one of the few ways to earn money. Those that work it often have to hide it, even if it’s legal, because there is a huge taboo around it. And then of course there is a huge dark area where mostly females are human trafficked into a country and then forced into prostitution.

  Makingsex work to be a legal job and getting legislation like in this thread here helps a lot and is indeed progressive and positive.

  I feel like making fun of these people isn’t helpful, or progressive at all. Nothing against a lighthearted joke, but your comment offers nothing else but sex jokes and a lip service remark about how progressive the law is. I feel like it is making fun of sex workers more than anything else.

  If that makes me a prude gatekeeper in your eyes (and the eyes of the downvoters) then be it so. You can think of me what ever you wish. I’ll have to live with that burden.

  But seriously, wonderful progressive policy.

  It is. Not so much: your comment.

  You know, this sounds liks something good old American capitalism could dab into. Obviously there is no war in the US (yet). But I see potential there.

  Visit the Californian Homeless-Camps. Have a tour around a Texas school where kids have no idea evolution exists and think Noas Ark was real. While you are there, visit an Emergency rooma parking lot: you might be lucks and see a pregnant teenager die in her car. Then go to West Verginia and play a fun game of “spot the Junky”. Bath in the misery of black people working three jobs to live from their hand into their mouth all around the country. Be a shocked but o so entertained bystander while they are beaten up, or, if you are lucky, even shot by a police officer on their way home.

  Bulldozed over them. Alive and dead. Couldn’t take the gore no longer.

  I have empathy for him, honesty. He beloved the propaganda about defending the country an all that. Then was ordered to to horrible things. He experienced the difference between a lie told and a lie lived and just couldn’t deal with it.

  He not the bad guy here.

  Dude killed himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree.

  Evolution is not so much a numbers game. Otherwise Bacteria, Ants, Viruses and the like would have to be crowned winners. So the point op brings up is mute.

  The point you add, that they keep reproducing, is also not relevant in evelotionary terms. The short amount of time that we have domesticated chickens, let a side the very resent industalisation of animal farming (it started in the 1950s ish), is just not relevante in evelotionary terms.

  I’d say what makes a successfull species is resilience. 99 % of all species have gone extinct. The “winners” of evelotion are, in my opinion, those species that have lasted the longest. And in that regard, chicken ain’t looking to good. They are highly dependent upon humans. Most industrial chickens are genetic aborninatons, bred for beeing fat, fast growing, egg laying machines to the point where their own bones brake because they lack calcium. I’d argue that chickens in their current form would not last long in “the wild”. Hence once humans are gone their is a high chance chickens will follow.

  And this is it. This is how we arrive were we are now.

  Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

  We’ve spend 2000 years slowly being nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

  That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

  I find it fascinating that so much of astronomy is having data and trying to make educated guesses about what that data could maybe indicate. It shows just how much more there is to find out, realy.

  It’s such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.

  Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.

  I’ve worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it’s realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.
