Do you know who put the signs up?
It’s a little too on the nose for the show the symbol is from.
Like, I’d believe a fan of the show made the sign, than a fan was randomly drawing the symbol and then someone made a not reacting the same way the characters in the show do.
Old products were made so that each product lasted as long as possible.
So when one part failed, it was worth repairing because the rest was probably fine.
Modern products are designed to last X amount of time, so when one part fails, the rest of it is likely to fail soon.
Making repair not worth it.
You’re trying to treat this as one problem, but it’s specific depending on what you need. Like, you can 100% buy a fountain pen instead of using cheap disposables. But I doubt that’s what you’re talked no about.
Posting Israeli propaganda usually gets someone banned pretty quickly…
Isn’t their big problem that what’s already happening?
We’re fighting fascism buddy…
I meant in general that is what’s happening in 2015…
based on your personal, ever changing, in-group language.
Again, this isn’t a personal opinion, there have been multiple academic studies showing the effect language choices like this on thinking since the 1980s at least.
It’s not “ever changing” but if 40 some years is too fast for you, lots of conservatives feel the same.
I just don’t spend a lot of time interacting with someone who views a personal inconvenience like this apparently is as such a big deal and worth hurting others.
But again, lots of conservatives do. MAGA 100% agrees with you, and regretably there’s a lot of them these days.
So I’ll leave you free to talk with the people you agree with.
You’re arguing about word choices and message
Because that effects how people think and treat others…
This isn’t just my opinion, this has been studied extensively, not just for word choice within one language but how different languages cause people to think differently.
I thought you just weren’t aware, but I provided a couple sources and you’re getting angry and still wanting to aide with the fascists on the right…
That kind of only leaves one reason for why you’re still denying science…
So something like “begging person” or “beggarly person”?
Why are you so insistent to use “beg”?
“Someone asking for donations” maintains their dignity and communicates the point clearly…
Personally, if you called me a German, a furry or a vegetarian, I wouldn’t mind, even though none of these attributes encompass my entire existence.
Ok…
But we don’t call people what we would like to be called, we don’t set the minimum of respect for everyone else
If didn’t have a home, job, or food, you might be less willing to be dehumanized.
The privileged are usually the least sensitive to that.
Like, I’m 6’4", if someone that’s 6’6" walked up and said “Hey shorty, what’s up”. I won’t give a single fuck.
If I was a 5’2" man, I might be offended, and if I said a 5’2 man had to be ok with it because I was, I’d be a jackass.
That’s literally preschool level empathy, and it’s depressing so many people here never learned that
So…
Not only do you view dehumanizing language as “no big deal” you’re actively choosing to spend your free time online to argue with people about how we shouldn’t put any effort into it.
Like…
Are you just ignorant on how language changes thinking? Or do you understand how serious this is and just deciding to side with the fascists on this (and probably other) topics?

https://studyfinds.org/language-influences-reality/
Like. This should be “common sense” but there’s been studies on it for decades.
Do you really not understand how word choices effect a message?
…
We’re fighting fascism buddy…
If someone saying it’s better to use adjectives than nouns is enough for you to want to meet in the middle with fascists, it sounds to me you were looking for an excuse to tell people to get closer to fascism
Go on… what is the newer term?
Using adjectives to describe an aspect of a person instead of a noun to reduce them to a single aspect…
Use adjectives to describe people, not nouns to label them…
Super basic, and applies to almost ever scenario.
It’s about not reducing someone to one attribute, and it’s been around for like a decade at least in western society.
Anyone got any thoughts about this?
Calling them “beggers” is shitty and outdated…
And with you saying the people who help others only do it for religious reasons…
It makes me think you should be saying what geographic area you’re in when asking these questions, because it just doesn’t sound like any western country.
All this stuff might be normal where you’re from, but not where most Lemmy users are.
Or maybe there’s another reason you keep using terms that are outdated in Europe/Canada/America?
Well. That’s not changed by anything in your article …
It’s interesting and all, but it’s more about how the people they were investigating under pseudonyms were eventually installed over the efforts to get investigate themselves…
Like, that’s fucking huge. And definitely implies they were really involved in it, but it’s not a smoking gun
Edit:
To be clear the most likely explanation has always been the same as Cheney and 9/11…
They knew it was coming, in general if not specific, and they choose to let it happen because that was what was best for their interests.
That’s a billion times more likely than the CIA taking explicit actions to lead to the assassinations of a US president. It takes a lot to make something like this happen, very little to know it’s gonna happen and intentionally let it happen.

You’ll get better at it, but it works because they load the article first. Then the paywall.
So this is roughly a 64 page paper on his sexual assaults.
Which is why we got a cap the list somewhere lol.
But just pointing out that even if his supporters downplay the recent lawsuit, he flat out admitted to violently raping his wife, and spent millions to serve on children and enjoyed that it made them uncomfortable.
trump raping kids is the least surprising thing that could ever be revealed, and that’s not even getting into an innumerable other reasons.
Remember who needs to hear the message, and how much they’re able to hold in their head at once to connect to other things.
Short and sweet, and all the better if it rhymes.
I miss PoppingKream too, but the people who need convinced tap out at 3 simple facts at once.
As far as I know, he’s the only rumored one who:
Has been convicted of sexual assault.
Admitted to sexually assaulting his wife, resulting in a centuries old loophole being closed in one of the world’s largest cities.
Bought an under 18 beauty pageant and then bragged about how he could go into the changing rooms to gawk at nude children even though they desperately tried to cover
It’s insane most people don’t see it.
FBI has much stricter rules of engagement…
The CIA operates abroad and historically can do whatever they want including but not limited to full on government coups.
But yeah, since 9/11 we’ve got like 3x the security agencies. People can go anywhere now
Isn’t that just the police?
FBI almost always have a criminology or psychology degree and know way before applying to the FBI that the test doesn’t work.
But the type of person to join the FBI would 100% Google it first and read studies. At least wikipedia.
Jocks go CIA, nerds go FBI.
It’s not as true as it used to be, especially with so many new agencies over the last 20 years, but it’s generally true.
I mean. They’re FBI agents…
They all have already had to take at least one to get in, even though they all would have looked into them first and know they don’t work. That’s still not as bad as the guy having to administer the tests who definitely knows it’s bullshit.
It’s my favorite example of what happens when we let politicians set rules to govern bureaucrats.
The only reason it’s still given is no one high enough in the FBI to be listened to has managed to explain to a president why it’s stupid.
A lot of our government is shit because high ranking bureaucrats are shitty are explaining things to idiots
Yeah, the sign is likely the joke then
