girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•As women have far fewer babies, the U.S. and the world face unprecedented challenges11·30 days agoI agree that ecologically it can be a better move but I also don’t blame anyone that chooses to have a child because who knows when politicians may revoke your ability to decide in the future.
The real problem is that our current way of life is a sinking ship and we’re close to the tipping point when the majority of people will need to find methods of living alternatively. Teaching younger people how to survive in this environment is going to be crucial. A lot will suffer through our collective ignorance until we find a new equilibrium with nature. We can adapt quickly and support climate positive actions or we can prolong it; I think we all know the current direction we’re going. Either way, until either the global ecological demand subsides, we’re just preparing future generations for an uphill battle.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•In 'Lawless, Vile Act,' Trump Admin Sanctions UN Expert Critical of Israeli Genocide in Gaza1·30 days agoI think it’s less on ceding metaphorical ground and more on getting people caught up that haven’t decoupled the “Jewish people are automatically Zionist” thought yet. The opposition is taking advantage of that preconceived notion that a lot of people have.
We’re clearly not from the same countries, but I think this discussion stems from the recent political actions in the USA. In that instance, yes birthright citizenship is the most common method of citizenship and would have severe consequences by changing the law arbitrarily.
The world’s a fucked up place, and birthright citizenship probably isn’t the best way to go about things (neither are borders in general but that’s a tangent), but I don’t think removing rights before a better implementation is in place is the best way to go about things. More people get hurt this way, obviously, and we lose sight of what the actual point of this was. Not to mention it’s easy for fascism to take root when you can more easily say who gets to be a citizen.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Young Europeans losing faith in democracy, poll finds2·1 month agoAnd what are the benefits of authoritarian rule for its citizens? Given enough time, those rulers will cause harm in any circumstance.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•VPN server on router or within home network?English1·2 months agoIt does a few techniques depending on the type of network and security obstacles. They posted an article on it that’s interesting.
I’d also check out pangolin or headscale like others recommeded though since you’re already looking to self-host.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Trump’s Budget Plan Could Evict 300,000 Vulnerable Americans41·2 months agoIts because they genuinely do not care about anyone but themselves.
If someone was layed off, that’s too bad, find another job slacker. Someone ran over by a car, they shouldn’t have been in the way. Someone shot, that’s a bad neighborhood. Someone shot by police? They should’ve followed orders better.
They do not comprehend that there is more to things than just cause and effect because of the doublethink that has eroded away their critical thinking skills.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•What California governor Newsom said after an Alabama senator called LA ‘a third world country’5·2 months agoNot to dissuade anyone from thinking that California is a much better state than Alabama; but those rankings are terrible. Florida ranked #2 best state in education, #1 in economy, and #13th in crime? Yeah, that’s not biased at all USNews.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Mother allegedly buys ammunition, tactical gear for son's planned 'mass targeted violence' at middle school: Officials2·3 months agoKids do dumb things and hopefully learn from their mistakes but I dont think actively planning to shoot up a school is one of those things you can argue as innocuous.
The article doesn’t say whether he originally had these thoughts or if it was pressed onto him by his mother. It definitely sounds like he was at the very least encouraged to do extreme violence by his mother and he said himself that he looked up to other shooters and thought he would be famous.
The kid needs some mental health counseling at the very least in my opinion.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Mother allegedly buys ammunition, tactical gear for son's planned 'mass targeted violence' at middle school: Officials5·3 months agoAgreed. We really should have better mental rehabilitative services, especially for youth but who am I kidding with how this country is going.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Mother allegedly buys ammunition, tactical gear for son's planned 'mass targeted violence' at middle school: Officials73·3 months agoThe article said that the kid had stuff with Nazi and white supremacy symbols and words on it. I’m pretty sure he’s not innocent in any of this.

girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?1·4 months agoHonestly, ever since this execution, I’ve been against any death penalty. There have been way too many innocent people killed from the death penalty.
Not to mention the numerous issues and the moral quandry of legal murder as a state sanctioned form of punishment.
At the end of the day, what’s the ultimate goal of murdering someone on death row? An example for deterrence? Apparently it’s not effective any more than a life sentence and you don’t have the risk of killing someone who was innocent.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?3·4 months agoYou’re right, they aren’t perfect but they are better than meat in most cases. If a plants based meat alternative is what it takes for someone to reduce or stop their meat intake then that’s a moral improvement in my book.
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How can I play videos downloaded from my computer on a TV without network connectivity features?3·4 months agoUnfortunately you should secure your home network with a managed firewall to be sure that any IOT devices don’t phone home. It sucks but that’s the only way I would recommend using a device you don’t fully trust.

girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?7·5 months agoThere is already a religious following in his noxious wake. They literally think he’s heaven sent.
I think OPs question is still relevant in that context. Does that case reduce their effort towards privacy? I believe the answer is yes.
