I’ve seen XHS users use “no investigation, no right to speak” on themselves to explain that while they have ideas, they don’t have a full understanding of the complexities and nuances we face. The fact that we’ve had this cultural exchange gives me how that there may be support in the future but now is the wrong time IMHO: The government is already wanting to start hostilities and that works be playing into their hands.

Soap, ballot, jury, cartridge. In that order.

It’s the classic fascist playbook: The Other is an unknowable evil that is simultaneously an existential threat and also incredibly weak.

You can set up a global exception handler in some frameworks. By having multiple (not a crazy amount) of exceptions, you can set up logic for how to handle that kind of error. Then you can just throw the exception instead of writing individual catch blocks.

This is especially helpful in things like a REST API where user input can cause all kinds of fun, let alone network issues, problems with your data source, etc.

This is like Dalinar and the fighting master from Stormlight Archive.

That’s why you set the alternate/exit cases as individual if statements before whatever was going to be inside the original if block.

To me too long to learn that.

Are you kidding? That’s very on brand for Janeway.

Lol I cany’t to say combine war and genocide and put in misogyny. Glad someone beat me to it.

If it’s not available as an Azure service it won’t be used (except for uptime kuma).

What Clive Barker movie do you live in?

Who didn’t?

Dehumanization is a nasty trap. Their actions are vile and they must be stopped, but they are still people.

Oh, it’s open source and you can run your own! Just pay the fee to be part of the centrally managed plan and therefore accessible.

I swear, sometime should fork their repo and retool it to be truly open.

John Lithgow looking weird.

I’d say it depends on the environment. TTRPG tends to attract analytical types and when there’s actual roleplay, is effectively an exercise in taking on the perspective of others. As well, classical RPG fare tends to come down hard on people who act in an oppressive way.

There are many video games that are exercises in empathy (That software company), looking at the bigger picture, and sorting through noise to figure out what’s going on (Torment, Disco Elysium). Additionally, mega corporations are so vilified as to be useable as comedy (Portal). Additionally, there are games which paint the government as morally gray (Control, and yes I know but still).

Then, of course, there’s Fallout.

Games like this are useful because they are narrative simulations; they let you try out different ideas by playing them out. As long as there is some critical thinking and/or media literacy skills present, engaging with these will challenge right wing thinking on different levels.

Nonviolence is an inherently privileged position in the modern context. Besides the fact that the typical pacifist is quite clearly white and middle class, pacifism as an ideology comes from a privileged context. It ignores that violence is already here; that violence is an unavoidable, structurally integral part of the current social hierarchy; and that it is people of color who are most affected by that violence. Pacifism assumes that white people who grew up in the suburbs with all their basic needs met can counsel oppressed people, many of whom are people of color, to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence, until such time as the Great White Father is swayed by the movement’s demands or the pacifists achieve that legendary “critical mass. – How Nonviolence Serves the State

Critical support for the collection of Dims, Ghosts, and Gimmees just trying to make a better life for themselves.

They were part of the ship’s frame of reference. This applies to standard physics but is explicitly true if there’s a warp bubble around the ship.

Now who can argue with that? I think we’re all indebted to TheFerrango for clearly stating what needed to be said. I’m particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic Star Trek technobabble, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

Yeah. Commits going right to prod makes my skin crawl.

Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.

I make no cleans about the stances of this artist; I just saw this strip years ago.
