Yeah better discriminate based on nationality /s. But why stop at that? Poor people are too easily bribed can't have them. I hear the CIA recruits from top US universities, can't trust those college grads either. Anyone belonging to some homophobic church or religious group? Better not what if they're closeted gay and get blackmailed? Anyone in a monogamous relationship should be excluded for the same reason, if you think about it. *tips forehead*

This API instead

Instead of what? As I said, this is in addition to existing tracking, with some vague promise that if current tracking methods were banned or abandoned, this could be used instead. Except it's not getting banned (Mozilla is not going to out-lobby Google) or abandoned (market forces prevent that), and why oh why would I want some alternative way for ad companies to get my data in that situation anyway? Let them die.

Now if another person is going to repeat this nonsense talking point, which you have picked up strait from Mozilla's corporate PR, I'm going to lose my mind. Have some critical thinking skills. They are giving away your data right now and they give you nothing in return except a nonsense promise of a fairytale future.

Please I just want a browser that acts in the user's interest only, does not work with Meta on adtech, and does not think it's their duty to save the ad industry from itself.

Volksverpetzer liest glaub ich nur, wer eh schon deren Meinung teilt. Und zwar nicht um gut informiert zu sein, sondern weil man sich gerne aufregt und lustig macht. Das erfüllt mehr so die Funktion wie bei mir r/ShitLiberalsSay, oder wieso die Leute Bild lesen, nur halt für grünliberale Abiturabsolventen.

Nur als Beispiel wieso ich die nicht ernst nehmen kann: Die letzten Monate hat Israel eine ganze Welle an Desinformationen rausgehauen, das meiste davon wurde in Deutschland fast komplett unkritisch in der Presse weiterverbreitet. Und ich stolper in der Zeitung auch jetzt noch regelmäßig über Falschinformation, die bereits vor Monaten ausgiebig debunked wurden.

Könnte man meinen, das wäre gefundenes Fressen für das "Blog gegen Desinformation", aber der letzte "Faktencheck" zu Israel ist mehr als 7 Monate alt.

A measuring jug (from oxo) that allows you to see the marks when looking at it from above.

Also I have two timers, and I need and use both.

But there has been no progress during my lifetime (well not here and not in the US, there might have been some progress in other parts of the world). In fact, whenever we had "left"-liberals in power here in Germany, the march towards the right only accelerated, as they adopted right-wing neoliberal policies and took at least part their base with them over to the right, and the rest gets marginalized. We've had some fatal damage done to the welfare state, worker's rights and the anti-war movement, all by the social democrats and greens.

Your affirmation that there is "slow progress" is clearly not true. There was some progress before I was born, but as far as I can tell, that had nothing at all to do with voting for the lesser evil.

Good idea. Maybe that'll stop the at least some of uninformed comments here.

Is he? I keep hearing he'd lose the election if he held one.

And while your friend is making tea, he throws a grenade into the basement.

Turns out there's a Palestinian family living in that basement. Actually it's their house. Your friend forced their way in, locked them in the basement, and is now throwing grenades in there now and again. He calls that "mowing the lawn", and he does it just to show them who's boss.

You thank him for the tea, and ask him if the 100 grenades you brought are enough. He's your best friend.

Some of the far-right like Israel for stupid reasons:

• It's an example of the sort of ethno-nationalist supremacy they want to implement at home.
• Some in the far-right have embraced this idea that various ethnic groups should not mix, but they can have their own countries/regions ("ethnopluralism").
• They want to get rid of Jews from their home countries, so they like the idea of them leaving and going to Israel.
• They hate Muslims even more than Jews.

Yes. There's a system of global apartheid, where people in many regions are super-exploited and are forced to live precarious lives without human dignity, safety and their basic needs met. This system can only work due to people getting pushed back and murdered at the borders, and being discriminated against if they make it over the border somehow.

The whole system needs dismantling, and getting rid of the borders is going to be key.

Is this actually due to attention span, or are these children basically illiterate?

https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't know there's anything wrong with it.

Are we looking at the same image? How's that the correct interpretation?
