I hear you, though I am more inclined to take a Gramscian view that cultural hegemony of capitalist/imperial core entities convert those anarchists to libertarians, or some form of compromised anarcho-syndicalism or libertarian socialism. So I wouldn’t call them anarchists.

But it’s not a True Scotsman thing for me, so I don’t fundamentally disagree with that perspective.

Anarchists usually don’t need the kind of deprogramming of capitalist, monarchist, colonial, or imperial systems that socialist and Marxist theories typically focus on.

the user I responded to seemed to be implying otherwise.

Not really. I’m just saying the quote isn’t particularly insightful upon analysis, source notwithstanding.

It’s an axiomatic truism. It’s logic is self contained.

To learn who is wet, simply find out who is in the water.

Being generic here, but the concept of Hijra is not controversial or unaccepted across SE asia, correct? Or at least to the best of my knowledge (Cambodia and Burma).

I tend to pose just having such uncontested language goes a long way for gender roles (and conformance) not being such a puritanical binary like it is in the American anglosphere.

As well as one would expect.

The ones who come out of the woodwork when you agree with the Nuremburg Trial execution verdicts will write novels.

come @ me lemmy liberals

You know I think the only ones that will are the six or seven chronic users who peaked at using tankie as a pejorative, and half of them fucked off to piefed to insulate themselves from further interaction.

A proper septic system is carefully engineered but they can still be quite low tech. Many houses still just have gravel trenches and pits.

My own home doesn’t have any pumps, it just pushes water out as water comes in. My tiny strip of land has deep trenches and the right native soil (deep sand).

More modern systems just need some pressurized lines and only three feet of the right sand to achieve proper treatment of effluents.

A lot of people don’t realize outside sewers and cities, septic systems are a thing and all the sewage goes to a tank that drains out into a patch of soil. A hundred feet/30 meters and usually even a wellhead is considered at a safe range.

Soils do a lot of biological treatment just as the enzymes and bacteria in septic tanks break down and dissolve solids.

UV disinfection and other treatment of sewage on-site is only common in areas with high water tables or proximity to waterbodies under that 100ft/30 meter range.

The majority of modern wastewater comes from other fixtures for laundry, showers, and the kitchen. Toilet sewage is relatively small volumewise.

There’s a whole media cycle on it from the last few months.

You may have missed how there’s a massive CSAM problem with AI because the models are all trained on CSAM. “Plausible” is a bit behind the times.

Sorta. I have one strain cultivated that works ‘best’ for me. It doesn’t make me sleepy or distort any of my reality. It settles my gastrointestinal system mostly. There’s a lot of medical varieties that do great medicine without being, well, recreational.

But there’s also a ton of forms of marijuana which will fuck me right up. Like, I used to smoke hash when I was young and in college and that’s definitely not what I am chasing with my manicured and vaporized buds.

I think people’s mileage varies because the landscape is so incredibly uneven.

There’s a whole lot of people who were too young to remember a quarter century ago.

Likewise. This is my only reoccurring issue I have had since switching, and it isn’t consistent enough to really be a problem.

I do notice that after sleep mode when things work fine I’ll get a notification my displays are detected. So I assume display detection is switched off during sleep mode, and maybe not always turning back on.

There should be an Australian guy who is still just hating on China in the 2nd panel anyway.

I think it is more that Americans are so used to extractive austerity and warfunding/fighting that we’ve completely forgot that economies can build civil society.

Plug and play, except you have to provide instructions and chastisement first.

It got him celebrity. That opens doors in ways money doesn’t.

Nearly ten years of my life essentially reduced to “Keep poop in ground, not on ground.”
