World News@lemmy.ml•Israel's siege of Gaza is illegal, EU saysEnglish
1·2 years agoDecolonization is a bloody and violent process. Once you colonize a place and the people that live there, the only ways that it will end is the near-complete extermination of the colonized peoples by the colonizers, or decolonization. There can never be a lasting, peaceful status quo, as the interests of the colonized and the colonizers are inexorably opposed. The colonizer wants more of what is and was the colonized’s. The colonized want to keep their homes, and to not be subject to the colonizers. Both will use violence to achieve their ends.
The question of “how can peace be achieved in Palestine” is not “how can the current conflict be resolved,” but instead “should Palestinians be subject to ethnic cleansing, including violently and directly as occurred during the Nakba, or should Palestinians govern Palestine?”
Washburn [she/her]@hexbear.nettoPolitics@lemmy.ml•Why aren't lie detectors considered a political issue?English
41·3 years agoNo one cares how well they work to detect lies if someone “failing” or refusing to take a polygraph test can be used as evidence. No one in a position to ban their use, anyway.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?English
2·3 years agoBut also the marketization and commodification of everything.
Basic necessities like housing and food that there’s more than enough for everyone made or being made, being denied to people to keep the price of those commodities artificially high, is not normal. Food being destroyed with bleach and housing being kept empty while people go hungry and sleep under interstate overpasses is not normal.

Washburn [she/her]@hexbear.nettoPersonal Finance@lemmy.ml•Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not.English
1·3 years agoThe same crews who do now 🤨
I never saw a landlord or developer do any work to prepare an area or build anything on any of the jobsites I was on.
A welder who works on metal storage vessels, sometimes called tanks.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you?English
4·3 years agoI got out of construction this year. I was on jobsites for basically the entire shutdown for Covid.
Outside of disease, there are a lot of physical health hazards in construction that you’re just expected to work through. Working at all on a coal-fired power plant, you’re going to breathe in coal dust all day long for your shift, which for me was up to 16 hours a day not including travel time.
cw gross
if you sneeze or blow your nose for the rest of the day, the tissue will be black with coal dust. Imagine what that does to your lungs.
Edit: I originally wrote this when I first woke up, and was more combative than I should have been.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you still write notes with pen and paper?English
3·3 years agoI do physical and digital notes both, just so that information is available in as many places as possible. I need a number to refer to a thing in an email? It’s in a word doc, on a post-it note on my monitor, on my physical and digital calendar probably, and in a spreadsheet. No matter what, I can find the info I need.
And I feel like the actual act of handwriting helps me remember what I’m writing. I’ll take notes during a meeting or a class, never look at them again, and remember the important info. If I don’t take notes, I might as well have not been there lol.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"?English
52·3 years agoHulu. I agreed to Netflix for the convenience for the price. Hulu started to get big, stuff started getting taken off Netflix, and I just went back to doing what I did before Netflix.
