Devi, to asklemmy in Does France have a terrorism problem?

A lot of people misunderstand who Charlie Hebdo are. So this -

Is their reaction to the Turkey earthquake, There were roughly 51k killed, and their cartoon was that this was good because that was less muslims they had to kill.

Their 'Mohammed edition' was a full comic about how much they hated muslims. It was pure racism and in many countries they would have been prosecuted for hate speech.

They are a hate group.

This is the meaning of two wrongs don't make a right. Charlie Hebdo are disgusting, the people who attacked them so severely were absolutely wrong, but neither act makes either of them right.

What a wild false equivelency!

A persons clothing is a personal choice.

Ripping off a strangers clothing in the street is an attack.

I think it's important to understand why these people are mad. It's really simplistic to say 'raise better kids', and the point of teaching people not to hurt is a bit tricky when positioned in a world where people are being hurt constantly.

Any good person raised in an environment where their own country is murdering children is going to have questions. You feel helpless when the whole world is comfortable with inhumane torture.

The problem that needs fixing is much much wider.

The Hebdo drawing wasn't light hearted fun though, it was right wingers trying to wind up religious people. Obviously there's never any excuse for murder but publicly attacking a whole religion will upset a lot of people, and things can lead on from that.

Devi, to asklemmy in What is something you watch/do but not for its intended purpose?

When I was younger and went out all night often me and my flatmates used to wake up and watch that until we felt better. Like 4 hours of it every saturday and sunday morning.

Devi, (edited ) to asklemmy in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

Does the vatican count? I'd get into the archives and make it my lifes work to find all the secrets.

Plus it's pretty cool there, there's people who do spend their lives there, and always visitors from round the world to hang out with.

Devi, to asklemmy in What is the point of small instances?

Lemm.ee that you're on has 25,718 users but only 2232 are active, that's a really small number. Lemmy.world that you're posting into is number 9 with 11,500 active users, that's still super small tbf.

You might be happier on facebook?

Devi, to asklemmy in What would be some of your top choices of things to see if you were the size of an ant?
Devi, to archaeology in Ancient Egypt's sacred baboons had tough lives, study suggests

I feel like that makes sense. I was reading a book recently about zoo history and it was relatively recently when a lot of primates were kept exclusively inside to keep them warm, it makes logical sense to protect them, but a few zoos in the 20's and 30's started giving them a bit of time outside and realised that it made a real difference to their health. Now we generally give them free access outside and all the other improvements to see long healthy lives.

It's taken a long time for us to realise how to raise healthy humans, nevermind healthy animals.

Devi, to asklemmy in Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

Yeah, like "we need a pack of black half inch nails", "cool, when for?", "like half hour?"

Fucks sake.

Devi, to asklemmy in Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

I feel like Wilko had the odd bit, but if I was like, I need a lightening to audio wire, or a USB to USBC adapter then I'd struggle. You have to order those. I guess I notice because I'm in a ridiculous job where sometimes you need those things immediately and it's a nightmare.

Devi, to asklemmy in Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

All the little doohickeys that you don't need all the time, like plug converters, extension leads, puncture repair kits, a good range of screws.

Local shops might have something, but never the one you want because it's just not economical to keep a good range in stock.

Devi, to comicstrips in Ornithologists are assholes.

I'm with the ornithologists. Herpetology is weird.

Devi, to comicstrips in Ornithologists are assholes.

Small animals is a specialism. Like just animals that are small. Actually, so is exotics! So the same guy is treating parrots, reptiles, and monkeys. That's ridiculous.

Devi, to asklemmy in How do you discourage a dog from biting while playing?

16 is even better. It's difficult because you really want them to start socialisation by that point and breeders individually socialising a litter can be a challenge, but for those who can it's a much more stable dog the owner is starting with.

I do dog rescue and a lot of people got their first ever dog over covid and people who had no idea how to raise a pup raised some really messed up dogs. Starting with an older dog that is a bit more stable just makes all the difference.
