@meme look ma, the bot is making death threats cc @Humpleupagus (I know, I know, it's not credible or any of the other things that matter. I just thought it was funny)
> researchers there overwhelmingly were against privacy and consent
in my experience privacy is viewed as from the public eye, not from being a (hidden) data point in a research project. and consent? to quantify someone and crunch numbers? lmao grudgingly acknowledged at best and only because the IRB requires it. people only care because you need their blessing to get anywhere
tbh I don't see an issue with that way of thinking. someone crunching personal data in private isn't at all the same thing as providing a publicly searchable index
@rees@alex@NEETzsche@mint@malakai no FO is utterly broken. if the FO reply were able to use the same scope as OP it would work. but the current design is a fuck (they did the easy thing) that never should have seen the light of day because it breaks threads for anyone not tagged in them (might as well have gone DM in that case)
@scarlet@fuggy nonsense. at worst you've got a territorial dispute, possibly involving outside interference, dating back to the very start of things. at absolute best you've got some sort of well organized breakaway revolutionary faction dating back well over 50 years. so effectively a civil war of sorts
because a particular geographic region has never before tried to gain autonomy :blobwoozy:
> There is no historical Palestine
would you try to claim that the land was just empty? that no one was living in the area?
anyway it's been going on for so long that quibbling about the validity of the origin is pointless. as of today there is clearly a cohesive group living there that isn't jewish whose goal is autonomy. no rhetorical trickery can change that
@scarlet@fuggy so now you've gone from "fake culture and fake nationality" to "illegal immigrants"
so does this mean you claim that literally no one was living in the area prior to all this kicking off?
even if you claim that, how long do you suppose is reasonable to evict a large cohesive group of illegal aliens before they have a valid claim? 10 years? 50? 100? because the conflict isn't exactly new at this point
and in case you were to claim both of the above, then do you suppose european countries should start revisiting conflicts with their neighbors from hundreds of years ago and attempting to annex land that they lost prior to industrialization?
the notion of "consent of the governed" comes to mind
sure, sure, the video that the clip in my other post came from doesn't exist. never happened. gab left because of hardware requirements :smug1: because it's just soooooo expensive processing all of those remote posts. that's why it's impossible to run a single user fedi instance on a cheap VPS it just gets overwhelmed by the rest of the network. that's why nobody does that. runs a small instance on a cheap VPS I mean. utterly impossible. can't be done. tragic situation, really
I attached the full clip in case it helps job your memory of events :puniko_laugh3: gab-expired-mentality.mp4
lmao. wtf is this revisionist history? they disabled it because they got bullied and couldn't handle people posting tranny porn at them expired-mentality.mp4
something or other about rounding people up and putting them in camps against their will, I imagine
> Living on the street is worse for everyone.
everyone including them? then why are they actively choosing that option? you never answered my question. at what point does living on the streets become preferable to the alternatives?
@verita84 if you blame the homeless for their plight then of course the situation looks absurd. whereas if you view it as the result of a broken system then people objecting makes much more sense
> would cost at least $1.5 billion to house every person who is currently homeless
if that isn't dysfunction then I don't know what is. WTF is even going on anymore
yeah I think this probably covers the majority tbf
> prefer to be homeless
what situation even leads to that tho. like at what point does that become preferable to the alternatives? again what does that say about the state of things
