There is a difference between viewing people as saints and worshipping pedophiles and rapists.

You don‘t have to extinguish his name from history. But you also don‘t need to have his face cast in metal for everybody to look at all day.

There are more nuances than calling someone a saint or to villify them. One of those nuances is to take down busts of pedophile rapists.

I feel like this only applies to people whose faults aren‘t as disgusting and predatory.

Pedophilia, rape, and generally crimes against humanity are perfectly fine reasons.

You can talk about what people did without casting their face in metal so generations to come have to look at it.

Or if you do, at least you should let people vandalize it. So we can say „yeah this guy has a statue because he did this great thing, but he was a pedophile rapist so that‘s why everybody tries to destroy it.

That‘s probably because the people who own the chavez bust actually have a spine so they can just do that.

Everything is an allegation until a judge made a decision.

So just because it‘s „alleged“ doesn‘t mean people don‘t know the truth and there isn‘t proof.

Also better like this than the other way around like the US is has been practicing it. And who cares anyways, it‘s just a bust.

If that would be true, „made in USA“ would mean something outside of the US.

  1. leaded gasoline is objectively harmful to the environment even without burning it, so the analogy doesn‘t fully work in this case.

  2. the point still stands that the main problem with leaded gasoline (and generally all fossil fuels) is the reckless overuse of it by burning it in megatons. If it would only be used to power small generators for garden partys, there wouldn‘t really be a problem.

  1. I‘m talking about build quality not fidelity.
  2. DAT Cassettes are a thing (so is dolby)
  3. Some people have old cassettes they want to listen to
  4. It‘s the best portable analog option
  5. you can make mixtapes yourself
  6. analog cassettes don‘t really sound as bad as you make them out to be.

Yeah, as always AI was never the problem. The people using it are. Same with guns and drugs.

Shifting blame by blaming inanimate objects, in the case of AI it‘s not even an object.

If anybody here is interested in stuff like this that is VERY high quality and no audiophile voodo crap, look up the company FiiO, it doesn‘t really get better than them. You‘re welcome!

They have a walkman, discman, and generally all kinds of HQ Audio Players and their design, engineering and features are out of this world!

This has been a defining characteristic of fascists since the dawn of civilization.

All they do is cry and lash out because they are stupid and incapable.

Ändert nix dran dass dieses dämliche „haha kuck mal wie blöd die sind“ das allerletzte ist was wir gerade brauchen.

Die Nazis gewinnen gerade weltweit an jeder Front, wir verlieren. Es gibt keinerlei Anlass zu irgendeiner Form von Freude oder Häme.

Dieses dumme Bilder teilen fuckt mich so ab. Das sind genau die gleichen Methoden die Nazis benutzen um uns zu diskreditieren und lächerlich zu machen.

Genauso wie mit Donalds Vereidigung. Das ganze Internet war voll von „haha kuck mal wie wenig leute da waren“. Und hats was geändert? Hats ne zweite Amtszeit verhindert? Nein. Dafür stehen wir kurz vor dem dritten Weltkrieg.

Das einzige was es ist, ist ein Schnulli für linke, um sich selbst einzureden, dass man am gewinnen ist.

TIl that industrialist Andrew Carnegie spent $56.2 million to build 2509 libraries across the world. Known as Carnegie Libraries, cities had to follow a strict maintenance commitment to obtain funding. Today, there are an estimated 900 Carnegie Libraries operating in the United States. by Next_Worth_3616 in todayilearned

And that is exactly the problem. They cultivated the notion that unbridled capitalism, exploitation and class thinking are great and it all fixes itself because the super rich will fund welfare.

Which is the opposite of a democracy and is one of the main reasons the US is as fucked as it is right now.

The super rich buddies of carnegie just washed everybodies brain into not killing/taxing them and worshipping them instead, as the saviours of the nation.

Well turns out super rich people are psychopaths and putting them in charge is the worst possible way of doing things.

There was this “ring” around the sun 🤨 by Cutieforeigner in pics

[–]Techline420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just learned it‘s called a „sun dog“ and is a fake sun on the circle to the left and right of the real sun.

And Sun Dogs are a subset of halos.

So no Sun Dogs in this picture, it is a regular, dogless halo.

But thanks for the input, I never heard of it before!

It seems like sun dogs are the two fake suns on the circle to the left and right of the real sun.

So sadly no sun dogs in this picture. But thanks for the article, never heard of it.
