As I've said before: monkey caricatures have historical precedent. It's about as bad as depicting him like a kraken/squid.

You say it's racist to acknowledge a country has a history of war crimes that goes on to this day.

That's not what you claim. You claim that russians (distinct from some Czar/General Secretary/Komisar/President) is a "horde of savage parbarians who pil/age and rape our white women".

Also: don't wait until you got the perfect setup. A bad/incomplete backup is better than no backup.

I'm simply afraid that the condemnation of the war in Ukraine leads to people submitting to some racist narrative, without even realizing it. I've seen it happen in German discourse. It also happened during the "war on terror".

Yeah, sure. Tell a person from Germany that the USSR were the bad guys. What's the worst thing that could happen? /s

Seriously, you're literally the kind of racist, I was warning about.

From Wikipedia:

However, Russians have also used it to represent their country, where it has been used as a "symbol of national pride"

Now I'm not allowed to correct some bullshit someracist claims about me?

In case you forgot: I'm arguing against demonizing the people of Russia.

Yeah, all of a sudden, russians are "caucasian". It's very convenient to hide racism behind "that's not a race, though". /s

People used to be racist against italians, baltic people and the irish. Don't tell me that a russian person is ok, because they're "white".

My grandfather was in a soviet prison camp. Fuck you and your racist revisionism.

Is there historical precedent of racist caricatures depicting a group of people as cute cartoon teddy bears?

"I can't be racist if I don't feel like I'm committing a racism." /s

Edit: Comments like this don't spell it out quite as drastic, but the message is the same.

Ehrlich: wo ist der Witz?

 

Auntie Oedipus (@Parasite@kolektiva.social):

One of the most toxic elements of democracy brain is viewing 51% as victory and 49% as defeat.

The woman was wearing clothes so no headlines for her.

 

Finally someone who can clearly articulate why they -ote and still understand that electoralism won't get us truly progressive change.

 

MMn eine sehr gute Einordnung von Wolf. Erdet etwas und macht auch etwas Ho|fnung.

 

Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

I already got:

  • Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
  • Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
  • Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
  • ... that's it

It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

 

It's an old video, but Jessie can use some extra traffic, so I'm doing my part.

Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes.

Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding.

This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry.

Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented.

This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.
