  • All attempts to discover how the universe works benefits us. Even a lot of really esoteric stuff has proven useful in fields like medicine and civil engineering.

    Honestly if we can pivot our high tech innovation efforts from being mainly driven by military needs to being driven by basic research (basic in this case meaning researching the natural world directly without any particular goal other than learning), we’d be a lot better off.

    Someone IRL asks my opinion on some politicical issue, I pretend to not be in the know to get them to drop it, and they take it upon themselves to “educate” me on it.

    Last time this happened was about recent trends in Indian immigration to Canada. You can probably guess which side they were on. Also, they’re an immigrant and so am I.




  • You think Iran wants this war? You think they’re welcoming their country getting laid waste to because it means they get to kill some Americans? They’re not the ones who started it and they don’t have the power to stop it. You want it stopped? Maybe focus solely on the US instead of this both sides victim blaming bullshit.

    If you were a teacher you’d probably be the kind who sees a kid beating up another kid and suspends them both because the kid getting beat up tried swinging at the attacker after they already started beating them up and “all violence is wrong.”

    I concede that there are some problematic takes in that thread, but they also don’t seem to me like actionable threats or anything that could conceivably incite real world acts. I just see people who are angry at the current events venting their anger with little prior thinking through of the full implications. Not defending that, but… actually I tried to opine further but I feel I’m not knowledgable enough to talk about this, I personally wouldn’t make those comments so I haven’t really thought about justifying nor condemning people who do.

    Got references you can point to? Most of the threads I read specifically want them to face justice for their crimes. Which is part of human rights. Getting the death penalty after being found guilty of participating in literal genocide is more than fair and doesn’t violate human rights.

    Also, people say hyperbolic shit when they’re angry. And this war has understandably made a lot of people extremely angry. Not defending them if they really are calling for taking away human rights, but those people won’t be the actual ones deciding or even influencing what happens to anyone after the war so your tone policing is not doing much to help.
