Seeing a hate preacher stop hate preaching is a good thing that bad people are pretending is a bad thing.

That’s not what happened though. The message got amplified by the way this murder happened, and the cheeryness of how many people reacted.

If the self-proclaimed good guys repeatably celebrate violence over dialogue, then there’s no good, nor a need for dialogue. A valid conclusion were the premise true. Yet a message that’s now loudly shared.

Finally started listening to bowie beyond the famous hits 🙂

In my native language % means “per cent”, meaning per hundred.

So it reads as 125 per 100 times 40000.

Is that not the case in English?

There will be radical people like that.

Guessing they mean;

A 5 EUR coffee is 1 EUR more than a 4 EUR coffee.

A 50000 EUR car is 5/4th or 125% times a 40000 EUR car.

Yeah, looking at those posts, I guess I just like PugJesus 😊

I really like lemmy.world/c/historyartifacts !

Sounds like the reverse is happening instead, no?

It’s hard to assign a name to a negative, as the alternatives are so plenty. Maybe describe the improvements you might like?

I, for one, like the ideas of liquid democracy.

I think you can’t spreadsheet your way through emotions — there isn’t a scoresheet that sorts them into a tidy “Good” column and an equally neat “Bad” column. I don’t think you can banish feelings you dislike and license only the pleasant ones.

I think what’s possible is learning to recognize what you’re feeling, fully experiencing it, and choosing deliberately how to direct that energy. Regulating actions and words. I think you can’t stop feelings from arising.

Life improves when you practice feeling deliberately, however imperfect the process, instead of suppressing emotions until they blow up.

Homicide changes to murder with the criminal’s intent. Murder moves to assasination when the intent is to dictate one’s opinion over others using lethal violence.

Stool has been remarkably consistent and of ideal viscosity 🗽

I’ve received captcha challenges that I couldn’t solve even if you gave me a million euros.

Bought a wastebin. It had a large sticker with the price and barcode on it. Now there’s this dirty sticker glue residue that I can’t get off. Grrr

Watch it yourself, and that last worry is instantly gone!

There’s artshare@lemmy.world (:

Drawing. For me, drawing faces especially. I think it’s partly an excuse for staring at (a picture) of a person’s face too.

Is it relaxing while doing it? Or is it more a rush to solving it, with a satisfying eureka then?

It’ a didactic tool for people to whom smalltalk doesn’t come instinctively.
