Can we defederate from hexbear.net?
  • Why are people from other unrelated servers complaining about irrelevant stuff here on blåhaj meta? How does this concern you? What does your opinion contribute?

    afaict you’re not a member of any of the communities here. how did you even find this post?

  • Removed
    ‘I can’t believe we’re having this conversation’: the states pushing for 14-year-olds to serve alcohol
  • that’s why you have different drinking age and buying alcohol in a store age. for example where i live you can drink when you’re 18 (which is considered adult for all other purposes) and buy alcohol from a store when you’re 20.

    what’s the usual age when people start drinking in the US? i’m assuming it’s way younger than the actual legal drinking age

  • in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on
  • i’m assuming that “other purposes” are other categories that each are smaller than the ones listed. they are probably available on a website or something that gives the full list.

    it would be nice if they had merged them together in wider but more informative categories though

  • climate denial rule
  • i think it would have worked if it had the word fake before disasters, implying the conspiracy theories that all of those were hoaxes made by the government instead of just being about the reactions to them

  • ECoNomY rule
  • “the economy” is a social construct that is affected by reality and affects reality, but it still is not reality. it reflects what expectations people have and how they are planning based on these expectations, but all of these are choices, not inevitable forces of nature

  • I am really, really questioning my gender
  • same here! the labels aren’t the important part, it’s often easier to focus on the specifics first. i’ve currently settled on the non-binary label as a way to not decide, since it can basically mean anything and the label is likely to change in the future when i know more about myself

  • don't think about it
  • i think github has the ability to map an email to an account, so it would show as your account name instead of the name and email in the commit message as long as you have registered the old email to your github account. at least for me it only shows my github username and nothing else

  • fuck tankies rule
  • wait, so you’re saying that even the fascist states (e.g. the nazis) were only trying to defend themselves against foreign powers trying to destabilize their state? or am i misinterpreting you?

    a state doesn’t have a mind of its own, it consists of people and those people are often power-hungry and do actively want to suppress dissent regardless of what would be good for the state. the whole point of socialism is to dismantle hierarchies, but by placing a powerful leader without accountability on the top you have undermined the whole concept

    maybe cia actions were what caused them to be authoritarian, but that doesn’t excuse their actions in any way. the moment they became authoritarian, cia had already defeated socialism

    suppressing “dissent” in the form of e.g. refusing to follow laws about distribution of resources (within reason) is one thing, but suppressing dissenting voices is a whole different thing altogether and those two shouldn’t be lumped together in one category. the former is a part of the normal job of a state while the latter is authoritarianism
