This makes me think some kind of falcon? Do any of these look familiar:

you’ve been duped. He’s the executive chairman and largest shareholder. He’s not the CEO, which means he’s not involved in the day to day operations, but he’s still the de facto head of the company

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is not in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

This is both believable, and actually makes me feel safer about world security

I’m not saying that discouraging reproduction is eugenics. I’m saying that @[email protected]’s attempt at defining Eugenics is wrong. Saying it’s about producing the best “GENES” possible is just post-hoc reasoning to make it sounds more scientific.

Eugenics is based on 19th century racial science. If someone is advocating for any sort of population control that uses that framework (of bettering the “race”), they’re doing eugenics.

A good example of what’s not eugenics is China’s one-child policy. It wasn’t aimed at creating a “better” race of any kind, and It actually provided exemptions for ethnic minorities. The goal wasn’t to create a better type of human race, it was to prevent the population from growing faster that what the economy could support. IMO it was probably unnecessary, but definitely wasn’t eugenics.

However, if there was an alternate reality where china instituted the one-child policy only for ethnic minorities in an effort to make the nation a pure Han state, that would be eugenics. If they did it based on IQ, that would be eugenics. And if they exempted minorities from the policy out of a belief that the Han were inferior, that would also be genetics

These threads always attract a variety of reactionary opinions

[edit] whoops, didn’t mean to reply. Yours were not the reactionary opinions lol. after the revolution, all tetrapods will rightly be understood to be fish

Eugenics is about producing the best GENES possible

“Eugenics” was a term decades before “genes”

Even if the etymology was different, you’d still be very wrong [about what “eugenics” is]

How were they attacked? I missed that part

Neither subtext nor empathy are yours

You are really terrible. I don’t like telling personal details online, but I thought maybe it would help you see that you’re being insensitive. Instead, you just imply that I’m crazy and transphobic.

I’m a trans person that has struggled with suicidal thoughts/depression for a long time. I also oppose genocide, although I don’t like telling people how to vote.

Your ‘joke’ has a pretty clear message to people like me, and I don’t like it. But I see it very often. I don’t really mind when it’s from some alt right bro on reddit, but it hurts a little more coming from a queer space.

You should find other ways of making your point, or else you’re just doing a more wordy 48% meme.

You’re the one making transphobic jokes about suicide in that thread

Meanwhile, OP is making some pretty gross transphobic jokes about suicide on .world

It’s disgusting. You’re telling people that if they’re opposing a genocide, they might as well kill themselves.
