GrayBackgroundMusic, in Does anyone else resent the links to Reddit?

Not unilaterally. Linking to reddit is fine, but bots that just repost links are not. If you, a person, find something on reddit that’s worthwhile (a comic that’s only posted on reddit, or a thread detailing a tech solution, or something else) and link it, then that’s fine. You, a person, found value on another site and shared it. I don’t care what a bot thinks. I care what you, my fellow lemming, thinks.

Valmond, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Microsoft.

To be fair I only have given them money (indirectly) once buying a gaming laptop with preinstalled windows.

There are lots of others of course, but who knows which brand is actually Nestle or Lactalis etc.

_danny,

If I could ditch them I would. I can’t fathom why people haven’t been in a constant state of outrage for them putting ads in Windows.

neidu, (edited )

Preinstalls is the only way I’ve paid Microsoft recently, and that was for two gaming PCs for my kids. Before that it was when I bought a laptop with preinstalled OS in 2009.

Only time i paid them directly was for the win98 upgrade license, which was objectively worth it since I could use my Win3.1 floppies as an upgrade starting point.

Now I’m a linux user. I only have windows on my work laptop.

fakeman_pretendname,

There’s a database of Nestle owned companies on f**knestle.art if you want to quickly remove a handful of secretly-Nestle products from your life.

how are you traveling? snakes on a plane; airplane!; speed; planes, trains and automobiles; air force one; pelham 123..., all good 'pre-trip' movies, and each worthy of a re-watch.

I heard Barbie is pretty good. It’s only 2 hours, and it premieres on HBO Max today.

monsterpiece42, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

I have a 91 Chevy S10 that I will likely be buried in. I’ve had it for nearly 15 years and it’s my favorite. I learned to drive in an S10 and sadly we had to sell that one. I bought the current one as a “replacement” and I love it even more. It is objectively not that great, but it’s clean and runs well and when it dies, it’s getting a V8.

You could watch Pitch Black (not sure if it's on Netflix). Vin Diesel kills it as the main character

Pratai, in What companies have made your blacklist?

None. Because I’m a realist.

AnalogyAddict,

It’s not hard to not buy things.

quams69, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

I straight up hate that I have to own a car, I hate driving, and my favorite car is a car I don’t have to drive or pay for.

octoperson, in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

You have the power to stop time.
🐵🐾 It stops for you, too.

balderdash9,

Soooo who starts it again? Guess that’s a lesson you only learn once lol

hotdogthud,

Everyone kills Hitler their first trip

A_Random_Idiot,

They did until they learned about the Reapers, at least

Since time is motion, the atmosphere would freeze solid around you, suffocating you instantly.

octoperson,

Aha! But you won’t be affected until time restarts. And since time has stopped for presumably the whole universe, nothing can happen to restart it.

Cethin,

Usually how it works is time for you is active, but what is you? Usually thar includes clothes and stuff, and other matter inside of us that isn’t usually considered a part of us. If we extend this logic, it’d include the air in us and maybe toughing us. I think this would be more fun, because it’d leave a vacuum behind us and superheat any air we move, because it’s instantly moving without any time passing. Basically when time unfreezes there’s be a massive sonic boom on out path with superheated air all around.

Rentlar, in Does anyone else resent the links to Reddit?

Although the rss feed feature is broken so there’s been no posts for a few days, !bapcsalescanada is one I used to track PC part sales. It was mirroring from Reddit, but just one easily blocked user from anyone not interested. We don’t have enough people frequenting RedFlagDeals and if we rely on individuals posting deals it will be way too late. That community saved me from needing to check Reddit at all.

Cosmicomical, in Can someone answer a nagging question i have about CRT?

There isn't even agreement on what the word means. When I was little my science book defined it as two individual are the same race if they can have offspring together. By that rule all humans are the same race.

I saw the same thing once I got into bluesky. It was just a bunch of screenshots and links to Twitter.

carnimoss, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Meet the Robinsons is one of Disney’s best 3D movies and aged like wine

Markimus, in What movie should me and fiance watch tonight?

In the Tall Grass is very good, though it’s 1h 41m

Race is related to ethnicity but also relates to a lot of cultural factors. Race is also tied to people’s perception of a person, and also tied to an individual’s identity. There are more and different races than ethnicities.

Additionally, race is linked to discrimination. Two people can be the same ethnicity but different races, because their culture and ancestral nationality are different. This often leads to people of a certain race being seen as lesser than, even though there is no biological difference. I.e. the Irish, and Italians, who are considered white now but weren’t in the past.

On top of that, people of different ethnicities can be lumped into a singular race and be discriminated against. Like Hispanic people, who have native American, Spanish, and many other ethnicities mixed in. Or Asians who have probably the most varied amount of ethnicities in their singular “race.”

Conversely you can have someone who is mixed and is technically mostly genetically ethnicities that are considered white, and would be white passing, but because they are known to have a black parent or grew up in the black community, they are considered to be a person if color, and are discriminated against in the same way as someone who is more ethnically a POC.

This discrimination and racism can cause generational trauma and wealth disparity. Which is important to learn about so people can understand how systems, at least in the U.S., are literally built in a way that makes traditionally discriminated against races more likely to be born into poverty and less likely to get out of it. CRT strives to educate the our population on these issues.

CRT teaches about the fact that Black people and other POC in the United States have been discriminated against for generations, this discrimination is/was codified in law and local ordinances. Like laws limiting POC from getting certain loans, or moving into certain neighborhoods. Then building roads around those neighborhoods separating them from the rest of the town, making it harder for those individuals to get resources. Or the fact that, in the U.S.,public schools are funded by housing taxes in an area rather than by equal funding. Meaning that low income areas (usually populated by minorities because of the previously mentioned reasons) will inherently have less funding.

All this leads to the fact that even though a lot of the racist legislation in the U.S. is gone, a lot of minorities in the U.S. have been lower income for generations. Meaning a lot of them are starting from less and will have less opportunity to achieve because the just don’t have the same resources and education available. And today, because of all this, we are seeing things like schools being more segregated than ever, even more than they were even in times where segregation was in law.

If our population is not educated on these topics, these things will never change. These people will never get the help they need. This is why CRT in a lot of experts opinions is sorely needed in the American education curriculum.
