But there's a difference between allowing someone the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions and change, and antagonizing them.

"Hey, sorry this happened to you and your family. We are going to fight to stop these policies. Will you join us in our fight against Republicans, the people who did this to you?"

If yes, you get an ally.

If no, then fuck 'em is an appropriate response.

Resistance to fascism needs all the help it can get. Including those who fucked up and are now willing to join the fight, as long as the scales have really fallen from their eyes. Most people like this got duped. They're victims too.

If you go straight to "fuck 'em", they disengage, which is a win for fascism. They want the populous afraid and disengaged.

But yeah, if they're like the business owners who complained about the tariffs and said they'd still vote for Trump again? Fuck 'em.

It depends if you view the X-Y plane as the camera/viewport/screen or the ground. If X-Y is the ground, then Z is either up or down.

That makes more sense. Simple explanation of my error. Thank you.

Okay, am I understanding this correctly? In Y-up right-hand, positive X is "to the left"?

I personally think that right-hand Z-up makes the most sense, but it makes sense to move to where most of the industry is going.

I can't wait for next week's BTS...

No, Bastard (Operators from Hell).

Hopefully that checks out, even though it's an old reference.

(Also, agree with the original expression of the negative systemic evaluation of the US policing system, even if I don't love the crude expression; and even though I'm contributing in a humourous satire of the expression)

This is the only response needed to any overtures from the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAbATWsvjTE

And sorry Democrats, until you get your Republican problem under control, we can't trust you either. In 2016 it looked like it might just be a flare-up, but the reappearance of symptoms indicates that the infection is deeper and ongoing.

Oh thank goodness. Coffee Stain is by far my current favourite publisher, and I was worried with them getting caught up in all this Embracer stuff.

This is one of my new favourite episodes of Game Changer. I could be convinced it's a new high for the show.

Season 7 is so good. I'm afraid that they decide to go out on a high and not do a season 8 😨

Possible interpretation assuming positive intent: "Lol" in this case could mean "Oh shit, I didn't realize that, damn the internet sucks at attribution. It's funny that even I can get caught in it sometimes."

"Lol" doesn't have to be douchey if you don't want it to be.

(I acknowledge that I don't know @cm0002@lemmy.world and they could be a douche, but I choose to assume they're not until proven otherwise)

"Hurt people hurt people"? (potential explanaiton, not justification)

I can't remember who it was, but sometime in the last few years a VC or CEO wrote an article documenting their day and how they "worked 12 hours a day" or something like that. What I remember most is that their accounting of their work included their time at the gym, at least one meal, and something else that few if any employers would consider "working time".

I agree that sometimes C-suite execs do work long hours sometimes, and I'll differ from you in that sometimes those long hours are legitimate and valuable for a company. IMO, it's not the norm nor is it generally worth the premium that most companies pay for those hours.
