sleep on it

I keep having to look up acronyms on posts about american politics, it's only fair if it also works like that the other way around 😉

I like helping animals in need. When did we agree that only the most intelligent/fit animals deserve to live?

I don't intervene however if it is predator vs prey. Helping one would mean harming the other.

Edit: thought about the predator vs prey thing some more. I guess I do tend to help if one seems much more sentient then the other.

I liked them as a kid, but now I just see the pollution, the traumatization of wildlife, the fire hazard and risk of injuries. I also have asthma, which doesn't make it more appealing to me.

Also, with the advent of drones, I think we do have better alternatives now.

I don't see why it would be. Isn't 'copyleft' basically: "You may modify and redistribute this code for free, but whatever you produce with it has to be copyleft as well"?

Extending that to coding agents trained on copyleft code, I would say that any code that agent writes is also copyleft. How is that anti-ethical?

What's wrong with copyleft code?

Probably one that is as long as possible, and has lots of variety.

Neither, I think it's none of my business.

I'm not sure that's the point of the comment though. Maybe it is, idk.

I guess we fundamentally agree and just interpret the comment differently. Hitting others is generally not ok, except in self defense.

I interpret the comment as "The boy should learn some self defense. That will help him get over the abuse and recover some self esteem.", which I find valid.

You interpret it as "The boy should start hitting girls. This domination will lift his self esteem". I agree that's a shit take, but again, I also don't interpret the comment that way, and I don't think that those who upvoted it do.

I guess only OP can clarify what they meant.

Don't know the context here, but to me it looks like that comment simply suggests teaching self defense to a victim of physical violence. Knowing some self defense is generally a good idea, especially if someone has a higher risk / history of being physically attacked. And if your attacker is a woman of course you still need to defend yourself.

That's not the same as teaching boys to hit girls, and I don't think that's the point the comment was trying to make.

Another point I think I have to make: hitting back is not the same as self defense, it is retaliation, and not something we should teach children.

I don't see why we would want to gatekeep the fediverse. If more people decided to use it over centralized social media, I think that'd be a positive development.

And as you know, the fediverse is far from homogeneous. I expect there will always be some very big general purpose "normie" instances like lemmy.world, and smaller, more niche ones for specific communities.
