I disagree strongly with this sentiment. If there was one garage that was destroying engines and another garage removing all the seatbelts, sure, maybe engine-estroying-garage has their own shit going on, but that doesn’t mean that their critisism of seatbelt-removing-garage is invalid.

Can we not try to avoid introspection into our own racism by talking about someone else’s racism please?

Yes, this is a fucked up thing. Why do you specifically bring it up under a post about European racism tho?

I disagree strongly on the first point. Blackface was not percieved as negative by a lot of people because they had no awareness of it’s significance, but black pete has always been a racist stereotype. It’s not “oh, this is a character who happens to be black”, it’s “this thick-lipped gold-earring wearing pitch-black person with old-timey clothes is the servant of an old bisshop”.

This shit has always been fucked up. And we didn’t just make an easy decision to change them because some people were uncomfortable, people fought for that. And half of the people are still “bUt iTs jUsT a ChIlDrEnS hOlIdAy iS evErYthInG rAciSt tHEse DaYs?”

The way it is phrased makes me very certain that this is not written by a person.

The computer isn’t powered down, if you look closely it’s on extremely low brightness and running the hollywood program

I would say that he has some moral principles and did actually effective altruism

And the second most likely something like “parasites”

So you would not pull the lever. Got it.

Even less morally complicated, because you aren’t even killing an innocent person

Please don’t make a comment talking about your downvotes, it does not make people like you more.

Yeah, but at least here on lemmy a lot of that doesn’t seem to be very serious and everyone is mostly ok with whatever you use. Don’t know how it was on reddit.

… so what doesn’t? Just saying <thing> sucks without saying why or providing a valid alternative is not helping anyone. Rather say something like

“Brave has done some shady things in the past and is based on chromium which is currently doing its best to kneecap adblockers and other privacy tools. If you want a good private browser, you might want to use librewolf instead”.

Well that comtradicts my worldview so I am going to block you I think

Idk, but I am left handed and very bad at mental arithmetic, so based on that anecdotal evidence it checks out I think

I also switched to an Icelandic keyboard so I can type ð þorn and eð, and ðen found out ðat people hate it when you use ðem.

Only found out yesterday that most phone keyboards have it by default, and I’m making the most of it.

Looking at the content of the message and the name of the source, I thought this had to be satire. But the site seems to be an actual news site, and other news sites corroborate the story. Which brings me to the question I wanted to ask:

What the fuck‽

Wait, my keyboard could type an interrobang all along‽

Afterwards.
