So much is getting better, social media and negativity bias in general is just making it seem like it's not.

Just for example, percentage of green energy is steadily rising. Even if it is not fast enough, that is still a constant improvement.

I wonder how many people from UAE or Oman are on Lemmy at all. If I'd guess, it's probably in the single digits.

That shouldn't stop you though - at least speaking for me, I'd love to hear what life is like as an autistic person in those societies, I personally have very little exposure to UAE or Oman. I think even if you don't find another autistic person from UAE or Oman, it's likely that you can still have positive interactions here :)

This is such a stupid image. It acts as if the "sailors stuck on a ship" are just poor little victims. They're literally fighting an offensive war, the solution is not to give them better food, it's to pull them back home.

I mean how often do you install AUR packages? Usually takes like a minute or so to skim through PKGbuild and the pkg comments and look for obvious issues. And most updates are just a sha hash and version change, taking like 5s to check.

Yes, I do have empathy for sick old humans. I wish Trump was safe in a nursing home or wherever, wouldn't feel the need for constant validation and would feel loved. He's quite obviously got massive internal struggles that make him do terrible things to feel less terrible himself, if he was doing better, I'm sure he wouldn't do any of the things he's doing and likely wouldn't be president or similar.

It's not about respect for his actions, of course they're terrible, it's about respect for a human being suffering. There is no real point to wish suffering on anyone, other's suffering never helped anything except satisfy one's vengeful fantasies/sadism. If someone is hurting others, you make them stop hurting others, but you still give them basic human respect, i.e. don't make them suffer needlessly etc

People that are able to say stuff like this are exactly why we have the situation we're having. If you can turn off your empathy for the "bad guys", all it takes is just misidentifying the "bad guys" once, either by mistake or on purpose or by being manipulated.

Even serial killers or mass murders deserve some basic respect. You got to deal with them appropriately so they can't be a threat anymore, but once that's done, the respect should be the same as for anyone else.

In fact, it's more likely, since for example, you could make corporations pay for being able to use your code under a different license.

If it was MIT, they can just use it and give you fuck all.

Well, which republican and/or democrat plan includes "give all people safe housing" or "make healthcare free at point of use"? Etc.

As far as I know, none of them.
