    It’s similarly black and white (although the scale of genocide that is happening to Palestinians is on a completely different level of course) if one understands history. Ukraine is full of Nazis. Russia is killing them. Is Russia a good country? No, definitely not and they should be condemned for all the bad shit they do. But everyone should be in favor of Nazis getting murked. And then we’ll get folks like “well Ukraine isn’t Nazis” to which I respond “then why do they all have Nazi patches.” And then one would respond “those are historical patches.” To which I would reply “from what history.” Then we always hear “well when they were fighting the communists.” The obvious question is “on whose side?” And that’s where folks get angry because they just walked into proving that Ukraine is historically full of Nazis, and thats why they continue to wear Nazi patches. Ukraine could choose to distance themselves from their Nazi history but they don’t. The only explanation for not distancing yourself from your Nazi history and instead leaning into it is because you’re a Nazi.

    Seems pretty cut and dry to me, but I’m not a Nazi so that makes me pretty biased based







  • Hard agree. We need to go back to weekly low budget slop. I don’t need a 9 episode cinematic drama that ends on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. I need a thing I can sit down and reliably enjoy week after week after week. I want hundreds of episodes of incomprehensible lore and characters that develop in wacky ways as the writers try to keep it interesting. Basically I’m saying every TV show should become One Piece



  • I never really understand this viewpoint, especially because typically this comes from developers who have extremely strong opinions about how code should look. “Well code should follow this long set of standards because it’s more readable, more maintainable, more accessible, more scalable etc.” Great so let’s do the same with the thing that users use to interface with the code? And suddenly there’s complaints about how it’s usable enough, or it’s usable for me so if you can’t use it it’s your problem, etc.

    It’s very siloed thinking. Unless you’re making something only for you or a really tight group of users, the best application is one that anyone can use to solve whatever specific problem the application solves. And in order for anyone to use it the design must be extremely thoughtful and intentional. Just like the coding standards that often drive the development of these kinds of apps.
