Everything goes poorly, always. Not shifting for the left means horrible things done poorly. Shifting to the left means at least good things done poorly, that’s not a meaningless difference.
Just be realistic with the goals of your movement and you won’t disappoint anyone - see Mamdani.
As tmyakal said echoed, and I said originally, the better comparison is suboxone/methadone, its about weaning off the harmful food into healthier ones with medical help.
I wasn’t trying to snark, and I understood the point, I was primarily trying to point out how harmful it is to ‘stop cold turkey’ with drugs, and how the relationship with addiction is still similar.
You can wean off of Xanax onto Valium and then reduce dose/dosing frequency until cessation.
You can wean off Heroin onto suboxone/methadone in the same way.
You can wean down from 20mg nicotine to 12, 6 and 3, before switching consumption methods and then finally quitting.
In the same way you can wean down from mcdonalds and taco bell, to home made meals with controlled portions, you can try foods that have high volume. You can stop drinking your calories and consuming sugar. Over time those meals that make you fat will become disgusting and your habit and addiction will falter.
Obviously you can’t stop eating completely, and just like alcohol addiction the triggers are ever present in society. But the idea that you can’t approach it in the same way is faulty.
Except you are ignoring the concept of tapering.
If you cold turkey alcohol or benzos you will have seizures and do permanent damage to your body. You’re supposed to be weaned off.
In a similar way, you can wean yourself off of excess calories by reducing portion size.
Obviously the end result isn’t a complete stop but it could be a complete cessation of certain foods. Just like how heroin addicts are given suboxone/methadone for their cravings.
Lemmy.world users being delusional as usual
Aye fair
I’d agree to disagree about the camera though, while my S7 took great photos at the time, my Pixel 7 takes much much better photos, I wouldn’t want to switch back, the S7 wouldn’t keep up today.
Same with, and especially with video, after taking videos on my sisters iPhone on a recent Canada trip, the difference is unmistakable, almost enough to consider a purchase (although I bought a DJI Pocket 3 instead for videos now)…
I find if you’re looking to capture the moment well, ‘good enough from ten years ago’ doesn’t cut it. If you only need your camera for scanning qr codes then that’s one thing, but if you want great pictures or videos of a holiday or event the camera upgrades really make a difference. Not year on year mind you, but between upgrades its significant.
The jam in another useless camera gimmick was annoying but that fad is mostly over now.
Honestly thicker phones with silicon carbide batteries could have tablet levels of capacity, that would be amazing, they seem to use it for unnecessary thinness at the moment though.
I agree with you but just wanted to give you some up to date info:
Agree on all repairability things and your general sentiment, I just felt you had some outdated info 😁
Yes fuck Saudi Arabia, you wouldn’t support the USA being a ‘country for christians’, and furthermore, Israel is not just for jews, its explicitly a jewish supremacist nation, but in practice its an ethnosupremacist nation. The people on top there are ‘white people’, ashkenazi jewish only, all other jewish of other ethnicities are descriminated against also. They literally forcefully sterilized converted jews from northern africa. So yes, Israel IS an ethnosupremacist state.
But either way, no country should be ‘exclusively for one religion’ that is an inherently scum mentality. Especially when the country is formed on top of another country that has a different religion, that necessitates genocide.
Especially when used to imperialist ends like Israel does. Saudi Arabia and Israel are very similar. Iran is very different, though I still don’t support the IRGC, the country itself isn’t close to ethnosupremacist in the way Israel and Suadi Arabia are. Israel is an apartheid state, supporting it means you support dehumanizing not only palestinians, but lebanese, turkish, egyptians and all arabs, black people and even iranians (who aren’t arabs).
Also a country shouldn’t it be ‘exclusively for one ethnicity’ I disagree with Japan being an ethnostate too.
Zionism is an ethno-supremacist ideology, yes all zionists are scum. There was never ‘a land without people for a people without land’, Israel was always a genocidal project.
I’m not saying Israelis need to be eradicated, but yes anyone who supports zionism is scum.
“A country for Jewish people” is an inherently ethno-supremacist concept.
Lmao this is foolish, what about Bazzite and other immutable distributions, wouldn’t they then be more ready for mainstream than windows and mac os?
Since it’s impossible to modify (and therefore break) the underlying system…
Bunch of lies, typical nonsense
You didn’t explain anything anywhere though?
Downplaying the genocide carried out by the nazis is actually sickening, and i’m sick of people whitewashing them.
Oh shit a new season, so hype
Please do. Fuck big tech
Nah legit, the anti-tankie brigade puts out their delusion before the tankies even show… every time
Do explain how China has been worse than Nazi Germany, sounds like delusion.
Aye, that’s fair given her electoral ambitions, she jumped the gun.
Fair enough, I don’t think she was too out of pocket to consider it given the discrepancies between the initial reporting and claims and the reality - but she shouldn’t have jumped the gun given her electoral intent.
Was she wrong tho?
I first used linux with Ubuntu Hardy Heron, I was 8 or 9 years old…
the ‘macs are cool’ to ‘modifying windows to look like mac’ to ‘try linux’ pipeline was real
I did move back to windows with the windows 7 ‘black’ beta I found on kickasstorrents tho.
Ah… 2008 was a much simpler time (on the internet)
Like what?
