You probably don’t need a masters degree to debunk this one.
  • Except Antifa isn't a formal organization, it's a descriptor for an ideology. An organization can call itself anything, even if it isn't a proper descriptor, but an ideology is by necessity defined by its name.

  • Lemmy is so good right now because there are no kids here
  • This is the key. I know older people who act like they're in their twenties, and 30 year olds who act like curmudgeonly old men. My girlfriend's grandfather decided almost overnight that he was an old man and suddenly began to act the part.

    Half of age is perspective.

  • Surgeons in New Zealand must now consider ethnicity in prioritising patients for operations
  • I mean, that's what makes the most sense logically, but if the statistics actually show that it reduces inequality by implementing the system like this, I guess it's good? My initial reaction is negative, but their argument kind of makes sense: certain ethnicities receive poorer treatment earlier on, leading to worse outcomes requiring more surgery, so they should be operated on first.

    Obviously the best solution would be to remove the inequality in the other parts of the system, but that's hard to do. The article says that they tested this system on a small scale first and saw that it successfully reduced inequality, hence why they're rolling it out on a larger scale. If that's true, then I would support it, so long as they were also trying to reduce the inequality already built into the system. But, I would also want to see what their criteria for determining inequality is, and what statistics they actually collected first.

  • Reddit forcibly breaks strike
  • Make sure to keep doublechecking if your posts are actually gone. A bunch of people are noting that they edited their posts to delete their data but now the posts are back. Reddit seems to be rolling back the content their losing.

  • The Reddit Blackout Is Breaking Reddit
  • I certainly never viewed it as a social media site. I joined it as a link aggregator and a way to find information on topics I thought were interesting, not make friends. It always seems odd to me when people refer to it as a social media site.
