As much as I want them to give HDMI the middle finger I don’t think they have enough leverage in the GPU market to pull such a bold move off.

What if doing a little harm today leads to more good tomorrow (so, a net positive amount of good)? And in a year? And in two centuries?

I think I have an idea. When you post/comment, there should be a checkmark for “are you being serious?”. The default value should be chosen on a sub-per-sub basis, so all comments non-serious by default on, say, c/memes, and serious on c/news, for example. Then that information should be hidden unless you downvote or reply to a comment/post of the opposite seriousness to the default of the sub you’re in (I guess there could also be an option to see the warning always or on demand).

I think I should post this properly somewhere but idk where…

For those that didn’t read the article, they ended up getting along in the end and the wokeness rubbed off on some of them. Yay!

This was all somewhat baffling to Totten: In Oklahoma, as far as she knew, people’s pronouns weren’t a thing that was talked about. She had just never, ever heard a discussion of it, or even known that others had such discussions. “I’m being so for real,” she told me, her eyes wide, as we sat at a small table outside the dining hall in October.

The author was so real for keeping that quote.

Jesus Christ hated rich people; his whole mantra was about sharing and helping the poor. In fact, the church used to help the sick and the poor at first.

Honestly it’s time christians actually started following the teachings of christ again.

I recommend reading this section of the “Spanish colonization of the Americas” Wikipedia article, which has plenty of sources. Obviously they weren’t saints, but, at the time, they were “the dawn of human rights” (cited in the article) and took Christian values very seriously, which is also why they converted all the population forcefully. There’s no denying that, but, as a silver lining, education and religion were almost one and the same, and they did build many universities, schools, etc.

When I visited the United States, they always tried to paint it as “they were all equally bad” when it came to colonizers in the museums I went to. However, I feel like that is because the “situation” with natives was way worse in North America than it was in South America.

In the Spanish empire IIRC they were all given citicenship, so yes it could have been handled better, even in that era. In fact, the latino ethnicity is the result of the mix between the natives and the colonizers, which happened because they were integrated.

Thanks for your positivity bro, don’t see that often around here

Disappointingly, the article only says that it "changes pixels in ways imperceptible to the human eye"
