I do not think "intelligible ingredient list" is a good metric, just because a company chooses to put a wholesome* natural* kind of word on there instead of a scientific one has no bearing on if the ingredient is good or not.

*marketing terms with no agreed upon, let alone enforceable, definition

is there some hexbear injoke about hating french (and italian?) people or is this just standard anglo xenophobia?

totally fair to be upset IMO. spare a thought for my friend whose gym rolled out mandatory fingerprint scanning for entry, then mandatory facial recognition a few months later (they cancelled their membership)

yeah with this much effort folks could set up a jellyfin server and an entire piracy stack jfc

sure age may be a small factor but the main cause is bad politics, focussing on age is a divisive distraction https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/ep-167-the-attractive-anti-politics-of-gerontocracy-discourse

JFK - oversaw massive expansion of the US military and laid the groundwork for the Vietnam war, started a military alliance with the Israeli government, helped fight tooth and nail against Black civil rights except for some minimal concessions, promoted a giant tax cut for the rich, etc. etc.

@JustinHanagan@kbin.social i think you might have the meaning of "Luddite" backwards https://thenib.com/im-a-luddite/

i think our goals and our analysis is mostly the same, that re-education would be the best option.

but I think that saying "enforcing the threat of it on the rest of society to get homophobia to stop is a good thing" embeds an assumption about the deterrent effect of prison which is not supported by evidence.

and, in terms of harm reduction: in your model, how long do you expect it to take to find "circumstances and resources to do reeducation instead", and are you truly happy with sending people to prison for that entire time, knowing that in most cases people's reactionary views are likely to deepen, and that they are likely to form more social connections with other homophobes while in there?

we can demand re-education now¸and continue building the mechanisms for it in our communities.

at the very least, we can hold back from celebrating the state deploying a known-counterproductive tactic, even when it occasionally claims a worthy motive to.
