How to be less racist/bigotred?

So I am a part of the LGBTQ community and work in a big city in middle europe. A lot of my coworkers are religios and have a foreign background. They are mostly very nationalist and homo-/transphobic. I hate them for their blind hate and bigotry, which wont change. I have realised, that I have become a bit bigotred towards...

Change Course sounds like a ripoff of Speed, but leaning more towards Battle Royale than Snakes on a Plane. strip out the NK nonsense and it’d be a decent scifi flick.

Florida Governor Ron Desantis booed at vigil as hundreds mourn more racist killings (apnews.com)

Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at prayer vigils and in church, in frustration and exhaustion, to mourn yet another racist attack in America: this one the killing of three Black people in Florida at the hands of a white, 21-year-old man who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like “the diary of...

Zoom CEO says Zoom meetings hinder innovation and debate, wants employees back in the office (www.zdnet.com)

Sci-fi books which don't involve too much space travels and massive world builds?

Don’t really know how to explain this. I like sci fi and would love to dig deeper into it. Am avid reader and enjoyed Project Hail Mary (though set in space, this book is just amazing), Dune, short stories by Ray Bradbury and TV shows like Raised by the Wolves, Westworld, From (love From!). But e.g. Foundation I really...

Guant’s Ghosts - Dan Abnett

it’s warhammer 40k but it doesnt really focus on space too much, other than they always travel through space to get from one battlefield to the next. lots of mud & blood trench warfare.

AMD, for the last 17 years. I had an ATI card and it broke so I needed to RMA it but thats when AMD bought them out & the RMA’d card failed as well, within 48 hours - so I RMA’d again and again, same issue. RMA’d again and again, same issue. tossed the card & started using only Nvidia and have never had an issue since. fuck AMD.

cant think of anything I actively boycott, though I do avoid products that have overly enthusiastic marketing campaigns.

“organic” is largely a marketing term - there’s no real conclusive evidence that organic foods are healthier.

Philippine supply boats breach a Chinese coast guard blockade in the hotly contested South China Sea (apnews.com)

why dont they just airdrop supplies in? drones arent that expensive - especially not when you’re destroying China’s face on the international stage.

so leverage allies then - I’m sure the US would be happy to give a few pallets of medium range drones

Protest Songs: why do I feel like there were many more (and many more that were popular) in the 60’s and 70’s?

I’m a guy approaching 60, so I’ll start by saying my perception may be wrong. That could be because the protest songs from the late 60’s and early 70’s weren’t the songs I heard live on the radio but because they were the successful ones that got replayed. More likely, it’s because music is much more fractured than...

tallwookie,
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

there’s a few different reasons that I can see

  • there were fewer people total, so fewer bands - ie: less trash to sort through / increased popularity
  • there’s arguably more things to protest about nowadays but because of that there’s fewer things that both resonate with a lot of people and sound good at the same time
  • if everyone is protesting, no one is. there’s too many different slogans being called out, too many different groups to support (ie: buy the album or give them radio time), and many of those groups are at odds with each other.
  • technological advancement - radio is seen as a dead medium to many these days, there are far more ways to consume media than to listen to the radio. it may be that protest songs just dont air on the radio for that reason alone - their target demographic doesnt listen to radio.

i guess that if we’re going to go the fantasy route, then I’d just steal everything I needed - the strong do as they please and the weak submit, after all. violence is the only language I’d need to speak

tallwookie,

dunno, but my folks (boomer generation) raised me to say please and thank you. good manners and politeness dont cost anything, after all. in practice these days I generally only use that verbiage when I’m writing up email at work.

because it’s a good game, or because they didnt go the DLC route?
