Whoa. Blast from the past.

It’s, unfortunately, very subjective. A statement like that could be from a place of ignorance that they are willing to dig into and grow as a person. Any judgement has to include whether good faith is intended, etc. Conservativism itself is incompatible with motion towards a more just world, as rigid hierarchy is part of its core, and it is also an ideology rife with bad faith actors. Giving extra space for such an ideology that already has a far louder voice than it should have does not result in anything productive.

Paradox of Tolerance. Those that intend to undermine a just and equitable society that tolerates the existence of all kinds of people cannot be tolerated.

I think a couple of the slrpnk mods have wormed their way into the good graces of the admins there and then used the anarchism as cover for pushing authoritarian agendas.

That’s exactly what I think. I don’t think that it’s slrpnk as a whole but that anarchism comm on the instance had very problematic mods (who have indeed gone silent, pretty much proving that they were bad faith actors). They constantly acted to spread propaganda and silence anyone who disagreed. IIRC, one even all but outted themselves as a state actor. They’re all quiet now because they got what they wanted; successfully sewing enough discord in anarchist and other anti-authoritarian communities to prevent critical mass or embrace of effective strategies for positive societal change.

Oh. The mods on that “anarchist” comm are bad faith actors and I doubt that they are actually anarchists - more likely authoritarian wreckers. The only things that they liked before the election was spreading tankie, anti-Biden, and anti-electoralist/accelerationist propaganda. For example, they would post anti-Biden op-eds then ban anyone who disagreed or pointed out that accelerationism has literally never had a positive outcome in recorded human history for “electioneering”.

I disagree with the conservatives part. Their ideology does not deserve a place at the adults’ table. It is far too bent on undermining democracy, equity, and egalitarian society.

EDIT: To clarify, this is elementary “Paradox of Tolerance”. Those that wish to undermine democracy in an equitable society cannot be tolerated without making an end to democracy inevitable. Not all opinions are created equal. For example: “I think trans people should receive additional state-funded support.” and “I think that trans people should be murdered and/or the state should cultivate an environment amplifying their likelihood to commit suicide.” (the prevailing view expressed by the far-right through their actions and legislation) are opinions that should not be given equal treatment.

Alito cited a 17th century jurist in his justification for overturning Roe v. Wade. That’s 1600s, a century before the US was founded and not relevant to extant law.

The Roberts court has shown that they don’t care about stare decisis, precedents, or facts (ex. the photographer who had no legitimate standing on account of not actually receiving requests from a same-sex couple and having fabricated one instead). I wouldn’t hold my breath on that case not being overturned.

During the COVID “response”. About half a trillion went out with oversight sabotaged, while the federal government engaged in literal acts of piracy to enrich the Trump family. All with no consequences.

They got away with stealing half a trillion four years ago. Not a surprise.

I think that the answer to that is a solid “maybe”. Damage to materials by energy (heat) is a two dimensional thing; energy input and time. Before a certain temperature threshold, your thought probably is correct. Whether that threshold is equal to the settings available on your dryer and whether it is practical are further questions that will probably vary with the fabric in question.

Ceasing to exist? Because that’s what it should do. Keep that commercial rot out of here.

HFCS in everything.

They undergrounded fiber down the road from me but still no service in my city :(.

When fencing, left-handed people have the significant advantage of being able to dramatically switch their rapier from their right hand to their left hand, mid-combat, and announce that they are not really right-handed.

Well, the far-right courts made that illegal for publicly-traded companies, so, no.

It is literally what they’re promising.

And I’m childless, not by choice, and sadly glad too.

But, I’ve been assured that the guy who moved to TX to avoid taxes, despite benefitting greatly from services that they provided in CA, routinely gives the far-right a megaphone, endorsed the orange guy, and is chummy with the Gov of TX, despite being an open drug user was a moderate centrist!!1

I think the Canadians call that “Kraft Dinner”.
