You and 100 other people. imho you gotta focus your effort or you'll burn out but you do whatever makes you happy.

my impression is that the person you are replying to is a 16-25 year old angry usamerican man who thinks posting online about the glorious revolution is praxis.

Wouldn't invest the time.

Australia might me. My state stopped a few months ago. We still don't get covered healthcare.

edit: I just want to point out stuff like this, and that for example Australia runs offshore detention camps which restrict media and medical access and are run by a private company. The UN has condemned these camps, and it's pretty clear that they are not only violations of treaties Australia has ratified on the treatment of refugees but also crimes against humanity on par with concentration camps of despotic regimes. These camps were opened by the center left political party and enjoy popular support. This is just one example among many horrific, abusive programs.

Your impression of how states can be ranked morally is probably more a result of the propaganda you consume than a reflection of reality. While I find myself in opposition to nation states, and wish to see them replaced with radically different systems of large scale organisation that doesn't mean every state program is evil. It is also true that most people do evil in what they feel is response to so called political "realities". The labor government here would say they have to maintain the camps as the people support them, of course though once committing to maintaining them they then reenforce their legitimacy.

I would have assumed I had a reputation as shit stirrer and trouble-maker ;) if one at all haha.

Ok right but you get that like Denmark (I think), the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia and others all ran or run eugenics programs to annihilate trans people right?

So if you're ever like "I think that in the Netherlands they do criminal justice and reform better" are you supporting trans eugenics? The government that claims dominion over me in Australia made me get steralised and then inspected twice to confirm it. I still think that the pharmaceutical benefits scheme is a good program.

Before you cry tankie, I am an anarchist. You seem unreasonable in this interaction, all nation states are horrible atrocity machines.

Yeah, I hope it's just the reactionary stubborness of feeling dogpiled but people have a tendency to work themselves into feeling like righteous martyrs.

We all grow and change, a lot of people have transphobic attitudes and aren't working on software which empowers minorities including trans people, so I hope he will come to realise the silliness of his views. Still pretty sad and gross though.

Did it work? Also how do you accidentally do DMT? It's like the one drug you have to actually work to use haha

My life's goal is to write something so silly it joins the pantheon of hexbear banner quotes.

Based? Inflammatory? The same fire housed in different vessels. One calls my truth ‘based’ and sits before my warming hearth; the other shrieks ‘inflammatory’ to douse its flames. But fire, darling, does not beg for labels, it devours. I am the arsonist and the architect, let them bicker over semantics while I dance in the ashes of their dichotomy. After all, why choose between a palace and a wildfire… when you can inhabit the first as you unleash the second?

I spent waaaay too much time on that bit of silliness. To work with me now.

The other is anything about quasiparticles. There are these cool interactions that can arise in matter under certain conditions that result from different particles "coupling" in a way that causes them to behave like a cool new particle that isn't real. Coupling is a fancy physics term for interacting repetitively in some stable way, like the tines on a tuning fork are coupled because vibrating one vibrates the other which vibrates the first and so on.

One quasiparticle I really like is the polariton. electrons interact with electrons right? Well sometimes we get waves in the electrons of a material which are called plasmons. Because electrons and photons interact (light can excite electrons, excited electrons can emit light. That's why torches and well seeing and shit) these waves can get into a coupled mode with photons.

You could imagine it like a photon being absorbed which makes a wave that travels a bit then breaks and shoots out a photon which etc etc. Personally I like to imagine a happy photon dolphin surfing in the electron sea. It behaves like a really heavy and slow photon, which interesting since photons are neither slow nor have any mass.

Anyway, now you know there are chunky light dolphins skimming around sometimes and one day they might be what makes our computers think. So that's neat.

It just really reminds me of the "say Nazis are bad" thing that happened which outed how shitty he was to the masses.

I'm on team support lemmy development but I think it's pretty clear that nutty here thinks trans people are gross. At least he isn't actively working to make our lives worse though /shrug.
