  • Morality schmorality, we need universal healthcare, daycare, a progressive tax system, and much more. Once society is equitable to all, then all have equal opportunity to behave ā€œmorally.ā€

    All of these things are maintained by humans. There is no perfect structure that can keep everyone "locked" to act in favor of the structure, whether it is through surveillance, bureaucracy or punishments. In any system, a subset of the participants will at some point have leeway to put a small dent to the system. Some systems are more resistant to self-destruction than others, but none are immune to it due to our inherent ability to choose between right and wrong. Therefore, evil systems can always be defeated, and good systems can always fall.

  • Biden Could Win Back Key Voters With Cease-Fire, Conditioning Israeli Aid: Poll
  • He's financially incentivized to align himself with the political agendas of Israel. This is reflected by his politics and support of Israel with money and weapons, regardless of its genocide in Palestine. He's stealing taxmoney and giving it to Israel so that they can genocide Palestinians.

    That's enough to denounce him.

  • I feel that there is an underlying moral problem in society that causes the rich to always exploit the poor. It feels like if you were to shuffle people around and pick a new set of rich people, said people would be almost equally likely to screw over their fellow man. If society was more moral in general, this exploitation would be reduced.

  • Frog transmutation
  • It will suck when the old wizard gets tired of being a frog and realizes he doesn't have the limbs to turn himself back into a human.

  • Downtown Toronto faces a crush of rising office vacancies that could threaten building valuations
  • Office spaces can be turned into housing as long as they are not too deep, otherwise many rooms will end up without windows and sun light.

  • Oof
  • Why are all the protesters women and the guards men in this picture? I feel that this picture left out all the men in the protest, or the men are being irresponsible by letting women stand on the front-line, so to speak. I feel that it's the former.

    Where does this picture come from exactly?

  • Camouflage
  • Oh look, a cute friend!

  • Interesting new data on Lemmy instance federation with Threads, ordered by Active Users descending.
  • I don't want to say "I told you so", but I told you so.

  • End homelessness with this one weird trick!
  • I wouldn't take this comment as anything but an anecdote. This is how some homeless people can be, so the take away is that the homelessness problem cannot be completely solved with housing. Some people are just cripplingly dysfunctional. They need more than housing, they need care takers. Just handing out keys to an apartment next to families to a dysfunctional drug addict who will smoke, vandalize and play loud music at night is not fair to the neighbors. These are normal middle-class people complaining, not some billionaire who can't stand the sight of a peasant lol.

  • End homelessness with this one weird trick!
  • What a condescending comment. Typical Lemmy-tier response. Is that all you've got to say, dip shit?

  • Biden 'doesn't understand the Catholic faith,' bishop says: 'I'm not angry at him, he's just stupid'
  • During his 36 years in the Senate, Biden was the chamber's biggest recipient in history of donations from pro-Israeli groups, taking in $4.2 million, according to the Open Secrets database.

    I've heard that he has taken $10M from AIPAC.

    He may be stupid, but he is making a bank.

  • Gentoo bans AI-created contributions
  • One fear they mentioned is that they may get into legal trouble in the future because tools like Copilot use copyrighted content.

    In that case, even if this policy is not practically enforceable, it could maybe serve them if they do end up in court. IANAL
