There's going to be an incredible amount of transphobia because they can do it. The right is currently obsessed with transgender people committing violence even though it doesn't happen anywhere near the rates of their cisgender counterparts.

Anyway, trans people had nothing to do with this but the right wing is still trying to blame it on them because they can

'Associate' is certainly one of the words. Though I'm pretty sure that he would want to stay as far away from us as he could.

They have a lot of bias against migrants and trans people. They have this both-sides-ism where they give opposing sides equal validity even when one is quite loony. The result? Incredible surges in transphobic politics and TERFism and xenophobic rhetoric and the rise of the far right under Nigel Farage. Sometimes foreign news tends to be of a better quality than domestic, but they are plagued with the same issues as other news sources. Funding cuts are something else they deal with as despite their slow move to a nationalist perspective, the Government still questions their purpose, and so they often try to appease those groups.

There's a lot to criticize about the BBC

Gosh. I thought this was the onion for a second

They want to get rid of the kids, but they have to be ripe first. That's why they're banning abortions too. Make Child Mortality great again

Say what are your opinions on Peter Thiel? I bet he would like to do some things with lightweight AI setups.

I'm pretty sure this is a bot. They posted 20 minutes before this post on a different Community about something completely different. It's deleted now, but pepperidge farm remembers

Isn't that the guy who never answers a question straight? Like he doesn't know if he's a Christian or not and is trying to stand up for Christian values. I think he also really hates queer people or something

That's super cute

I'm right there with ya. And so are a lot of tankies. Though, most of them think that they'd survive because the party will protect them

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (12 children)

Tankies try to argue at the collapse of the United States is universally a good thing and that everybody in the world is going to be better off when that happens. So therefore, whenever the United States is in turmoil, they're happy

I don't have any issues with crypto, but it's more so the people who promote it. They tend to be techno-billionaires Who want to make something needlessly complicated and expensive or else creating a currency that has no real value. The other issue is that it's computationally expensive and not as good for the environment as other payment methods.

I myself, am a proponent of cbdc, but the government has outlawed any creation of a consumer cbdc

Digging through a meme that I probably found in 2014. I guess I kept it around for a reason Some people aren't really that smart, but they more than make up for it in heart

 

Apoligy for bad English

I gotta post something, so I'll post the mechanical calculator that the flight school wanted me to get. How it works is that you can set ratios in the dial and multiply them. In this picture, it's 60:10 (or 60:1.0) so I can take any number from the inner circle in minutes and find out how many hours that is equal to on the outer circle.

There are also other things on this calculator, including a wind vector calculator, and charts. Most pilots don't use these anymore, but they still wanted me to know how to use one
