56·3 months agoAre you trying to say that trying to eliminate cultures via rape (but also murder, lets not act like none of that happened) means we can’t label Mexico as a settler colonial state? Is Spanish spoken by nearly everyone as just some sort of historical accident?
Just like most descendents of slaves in America have “some” white DNA, it just wasn’t by choice.
That there was widespread rape…
Sorry, are these your arguments that Spanish colonialism wasn’t a genocidal settler colonial project like other colonies in the Americas? Because you’re doing a pretty poor job if so.
“Some”. Better than 80% of the country has Spanish ancestry and basically everyone speaks Spanish. I suppose the local indigenous people just found those Spanish colonists so goddamned attractive and loved their language better than their own.
Looted as in Mexico is the product of settler-colonialism like the rest of the Americas.
One of the best reasons to want ActivityPub (or similar software) to become the primary way that social media sites are populated with information is that it divorces the particular front end you use from the content that is displayed. Meaning that if, in the future, someone writes a new front end that is better/faster/whatever it doesn’t have to (most likely fail to) fight the network effect to have enough content to be worth using. So you don’t have a David vs Goliath situation for every new, innovative social media site to get off the ground. Never mind Mastodon or Lemmy or Misskey or Mbin. Maybe ten years down the line there are a host of newer and better fediverse sites that are usable right off the bat because they have the same content available that these current sites have. Look at what a trial it’s been to get any new social media site off the ground (Bluesky included). It’s in every user’s interest to remove individual sites’ ability to squash competition via the network effect.
Bluesky’s model of decentralization does not allow for this so far as I know.
516·4 months agoIt does stand for Tuvalu. It is a happy coincidence for Twitch and any other media company that wants to use that TLD that such a seemingly in theme TLD exists (so long as you only use the abbreviation and never spell out what the TLD actually stands for), but .tv 100% refers to Tuvalu. There isn’t a Television-land that it’s reserved for.
Right, but .ml doesn’t stand for Marxist-Leninist is the thrust of what I’m saying.
.ml is actually Mali’s TLD. That it happens to also be an initialism for Marxism-Leninism is a coincidence.
I find I’m fine so long as I don’t rub my face on the cat and wash my hands before touching my face.
Wait until you look up the definition of transubstantiation.
Hamas isn’t a territory. Gaza is. Israel is invading Gaza.
Tabasco or some other hot sauce in the pizza sauce would be a lot more ideal, but on top is acceptable if that’s what’s available.
Do you think this person was referring to actual Hamas members when they said “HAMAS BABIES?”
The world population has nearly doubled in my lifetime. That’s not sustainable. We need to build systems that promote and function within a state of equilibrium.
Yes, there is absolutely a moral distinction between arming an invader and arming a defender. The US is doing good in arming Ukraine and bad in arming Israel. Pretty simple.
As for illegal, lol. Israel going to call the cops?
They should petition the US government to stop arming Russia like they do Israel to end the conflict.
Oh, right…
No way that wasn’t intentional. They could have off centred it even just a bit to ruin the effect if they wanted.
Countries don’t have brothers, they have interests.
