I have one in my bathroom, and you’re seriously complaining about the one in your living room?

Forgiveness and trust are two different things.

Nothing is ever completely unforgivable (emphasis on the “completely”), literal Hitler aside.

If someone murders their spouse in a fit of rage and not only shows intense remorse for their crimes but also dedicates their life to helping others at tremendous cost to themselves, I’d be able to forgive them.

I should’ve put more emphasis on the word “unforgivable”. I assumed people would read my random Lemmy post more closely.

There are a variety of reasons people commit murder, but there’s only one reason they rape someone and that is for their own pleasure at the expense of others. For that reason, the crime of rape is far harder to forgive.

Wait you’re saying that Platner drunkenly raping his GF is worse than murdering her?

Putting aside which is worse … the crime of rape is far more unforgivable than the crime of murder.

As did OP.

No you didn’t.

Putting aside which is worse, and putting aside the race element, the crime of rape is far more unforgivable than the crime of murder. Although the far-right, not just in America, seems very quick to forgive rapists.

Looks more like America TBH.

Wait, so “USAmericans” isn’t politically correct enough for you? Only “USian” is?

And strictly speaking we have four groups:

• Americans
• Latin Americans
• Whatever the fuck Canadians are. Quebecers are technically Latin Americans.
• A few Dutch and English speaking places that we collectively pretend don’t exist. Like Jamaica and Suriname.

Yes, we all know history ended in 1991

You need a lot of justify the loss of life these wars cause. Putting aside whether they’re justified or not, neither of them meet that threshold.

Genuine question, but has there ever been a war where the expansionist was justified?

They’re not invading Russia other than a small little portion a few years after the war started.

Those Nazi battalions would be far less defensible if Russia didn’t pose a credible military threat to Ukraine.

If you think superhuman AI will kill us, you probably think fluoride will kill us.

If we willingly hand over the nuclear codes to the normalhuman AI though, as I could plausibly foresee a certain Epstein client doing, then AI will kill us all.

Nobody uses the word tankie there. Tankie means something specific, a sympathizer for communist or aesthetically communist states which lack either free and fair elections, a freedom to criticize the government, or just general human rights.

Nobody calls people a tankie when talking about domestic politics. People either know what it means and use it correctly, don’t know what it means but identify themselves as a tankie, or they don’t know what it means and basically have nothing to do with the word.

All of the reasons for switching away from native Firefox don’t hold up to scrutiny, and there are real disadvantages to switching away.

No, I bet Russia publishes an English language newspaper purely as a favour to Westerners. They don’t hope to gain anything out of it.

Maybe they were trying to make the character smile and AI (doing as AI typically does) decided they should make him into an anime girl.
