yesman , to memes in Happy Juneteenth everyone!

I cannot speak to macaroni pie directly, but you'd be surprised by how many things considered Southern are straight out of Africa for reasons that should be obvious.

yesman , to No Stupid Questions in How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

Liberals are conservatives, they hate leftists.

yesman , to No Stupid Questions in What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison?

Ironically medical care is a right to prisoners but it’s not for everyone else.

Medical care in US prisons is largely handled by a few for-profit companies that make money by providing inadequate care or refusing care at all. Prisoners routinely die from medical neglect. Healthcare behind bars is more capitalism, not less.

Oh, and healthcare is not a right, it's the State's duty to care for people in it's custody. That means prisoners have no agency over their care. For example if you're arrested at an accident, the EMTs gain consent from the police, not the patient. This is how EMTs can administer anti-psychotics and strong sedatives on the sidewalk after the pigs have kicked your ass.

That's hard to verify since nobody has ever read Lacan. Most of us don't even read Zizek, we just heard about them both from Mark Fisher.

The bear may maul you, but it won't corner you and explain statistically why it's the better choice.

I read the other day that Kim Gordon was 70 and my soul did that Private Ryan meme.

yesman , to Technology in Innovation or Overreach? UH Research Casts blame on OceanGate's Submersible Design says: Low quality carbon fibre lead to the accident

DAE remember that the OceanGate CEO bragged that Boeing helped them manufacture the sub?

At the time Boeing disavowed, but who you gonna believe?

Zizek has said before that all his books are reworded versions of the same book.

yesman , to World News in Archaeologists identify the birthplace of the mysterious Yamnaya

Just going to point out the irony that modern Europeans are descended from migrants that infiltrated the Continent and interbred with the locals until their genes and culture were dominant.

yesman , to Ask Lemmy in Which are the most fucked up books you've read?

Blood Meridian by Cormac Mccarthy.

It's kinda hard to describe. I recon it's a parable about American colonization and the genocide of the native people. Like a map of how a project like that gets done and who benefits from it.

It's like a melodrama in that it's light on plot, and character motivation, but without the extreme circumstances unless you count the pervasive, persistent, and senseless violence. (that the characters themselves barely seem to notice) Not exactly a supernatural tale, but filled with dream logic, oh and the literal Christian Devil is one of the main characters.

This is the only book Ive ever read twice, back to back. I got to the end and was like WTF, turned to the first page and started again.

yesman , to memes in It's beautiful

I'm a huge keyboard shortcut guy. But any more than two modifiers can fuck right off. I wanna launch a program, not play carpel tunnel Twister.

yesman , to World News in US plans for Gaza aid pier branded ‘smokescreen’ to allow Israeli invasion of Rafah

Is the UN official saying that the pier is enabling the Israeli invasion of Rafah, as though it wouldn't happen otherwise? Or is he saying that but for the pier, Israel will open more land crossing to aid?

And what is the corrective action? Should the pier be built somewhere else, or not at all? Are their any factors about where to locate the pier besides political? Like the depth of the water or existing infrastructure?

And if the problem with the aid is that it's a meaningless PR gesture, then does PR medicine not heal? Dose PR food not nourish?

Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.
