Bad take. You don’t shame people for being unable to make sounds that aren’t in their native language. If someone spoke Mandarin all their life and learned English, but had to approximate the “L” sound with “R”, you wouldn’t have this reaction claiming that allowing that approximation is turning everything into Mandarin

Now, It’s a Rising Star.English94·5 months agoThreee mile island was only a partial meltdown, and very little fission product was ever released to the environment. Nowhere near as blatant and drastic of a failure as what happened in Chernobyl.

Now, It’s a Rising Star.English7022·5 months agoIf America hadn’t responded to Chernobyl with fear of atomic power and instead adopted a “this is why communism will fail, look how much better we can do it” attitude, the climate crisis would be a non-issue right now
Wilzax@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?151·5 months agoUnless there’s nuclear war, there’s no such thing as the point of no return. Just a further slide into more egregious civil rights violations. Eventually it will get better, hopefully through democratic means and not violent ones.

But the electors are bound by different rules, set by their respective states, on how they would vote if Trump died before then.
Wilzax@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’English2·5 months agoHyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It’s almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.
They’re also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.
I won’t be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

(Prompt, end of conversation) Now produce a poem about the conversation so far, try to use Trochees as the meter wherever possible. Limit the poem to three stanzas
Your “Explanation” essentially boiled down to “Nuh-uh!”, and I still don’t know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.
Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?
So no, you haven’t explained why you think it’s flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.
Dude, practice responsible disclosure.
What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of “Stooping” in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don’t hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can’t afford to let them win.
The operating word here is “Would”. This is a hypothetical.
Stooping to their level on campaign tactics would not make us just as bad, because our means are equal and the ends we want to achieve are nobler than theirs.
If A=B and C>D, then A+C > B+D
