There's a Europe-wide initiative to ban meat in large cities in public institutions. Forgot what it's called.
You're not talking about one of these WEF-adjacent things (C-40 Cities, etc)? They tend to be aspirational. A lot of cities signed on, but it'll take a while before they get implemented.

I see where you're coming from, but I'd say nazism was an ideology, not an ethnicity. The comparison then would be to feminism, not to women.

Oh lol. I haven't noticed it before, but it turns out privacydevel pushed a shell script handling it already (twitter_oauth.sh), so I think I'll be removing the Python one.
What pro-union socialist heads of industry can you name?
Oh give me a break. You could be a literal Stalinist, if you're against MeToo / BLM / TransWomenAreWomen / the lastest Current Thing, approximately no one on the left is going to accept you as a leftwinger. There was a time when economic issues were what defined the left, but that time is long over.

It seems like the actually reasonable answer is to de-escalate and decrease the power and influence of the government so people can make their own choices about their own personal lives.
The experience of the past few years clearly shows that that would make them more ravenous to seize the reins of power.

I still remember the blue/gold dress discourse.
Was I the only person on the planet that went with "huh, that's a cool optical illusion"?

Or historical?
I'm not qualified to debate these. There's enough fog of war about issues I've seen with my own eyes, so I'm not sure how much it helps to bring millenia-old civilizations into the conversation. Also historical vs. hypothetical example is not a fair comparison.

I don't think that taking minor risks is careless.

We've been through this. He's not a milquetoast neoliberal, he's a radical transhumanist techno-surveillanist, with sympathies for (if not direct allegience to) Critical Theory.

Aside from the fact that the far likelier scenario is a stalemate resulting in extinction, as we (not)fuck ourselves to death, it's because it wouldn't go the way you think it would go. If you want to see a completely male- or female-dominated society, look at the gay/lesbian community. Even if you crack reproduction, neither of these is capable of maintaining civilization, IMO.

This is just like communists who adore their meme about how every other division between people is an invention of infinitely powerful capitalists as a distraction from the class struggle, the only one that the communists insist matters.
Not exactly. I think all divisions, including this one, are based on some kernel of truth, but while we can probably live with race war, class war, religious war, or anything else you come up with, we're kind of fucked if we don't resolve the sex war.

You're changing the scenario from "pariah state" to a full-blown war with this.

"female" is equivalent to one of the many kinds of enemies.
Don't fall for the psyop, man. There's always going to be tensions between men and women, they're probably even necessary for our growth as a species, but we cannot let this turn us into enemies, or Klaus Schwab wins. Do you want Klaus Schwab to win?

It's @SkookumTree, on his way through The Hock!
Two astronauts orbiting, one with his arm extended, holding a handgun.
Come on, it's fun as long as it's just a joke. You can poke fun at women too, though it's different kinds of jokes.

He's swearing he's not American, but he does seem to say a lot of (sort of) American things. They do have huge swathes of actually wild land over there, so I can understand the sentiment. Though even then, I'm pretty sure plenty of Americans still go hiking alone.

If Texas wasn't sanctioned by China, what problem would they have?
The Panama Channel, possibly? Though I guess if Europe didn't really notice the detour around Africa to avoid the Houthis, it shouldn't really matter.
Maybe I'm stunted, but I think this is an essentially elementary school bullshit,
That's how I took it, and in that sense the whole meme seems pretty fun. It's just bants, confused flirting at worst, like you said. But then, I regret to inform you, that the male (or otherwise) feminists are at it again taking the whole fun out of it.

Whoops! I think I made some last-minute changes before committing, and didn't test.
I modified it to fix that, and to take the username & password on stdin
I'm definitely stealing that!

That would be the literal meaning of the phrase, but people often speak in shortcuts. I don't think it's a good idea to read so much into it, unless you actually talked to someone who supports "closing the border" and specifically asked them if they mean closing it to all traffic.

There’s a counterfactual world where this is a reasonable rule. Up until high school, sports are glorified team-building exercises. Who cares when the little monster who hit puberty six months before his team can outrun any of them?
I dunno, man. There's still the question of the government imposing philosophical (if not quasi-religious) beliefs on people. If you want to have a rule that says "sports should be co-ed" you can have that, but saying "it's ok for you to have sports sex-segregated, but barring someone of the opposite sex is an act of discrimination, if they have a 'gender-identity' corresponding to that category", is an imposition of belief.

I always go with a variant of "splitting society across various characteristics, and labeling on side of the split the 'oppressor' and the other the 'oppressed'". My problem with it is that it foments resentment, conflict, and hate, instead of fostering cooperation.

I've written a nix flake for deploying it - it's incomplete & rough & undocumented, but maybe it will be of use to someone: https://github.com/bct/unshittify.nix
Cool! I'll take a look at it, and might merge it to my repository
I've added 14 nitter feeds to my instance, but most of them are failing with "Miniflux generated too many requests to this website. Please, try again later or change the application configuration.". I wonder if I need to tweak the Miniflux configuration to avoid polling all the feeds at the same time?
Yeah, I should have either explained it the thread or added my conf to the repository, but that's exactly the issue. I think one tweak is already there (a short sleep between fetching feeds), but another one is just to limit the worker pool size to 1, than you'll be sure they're grabbed sequentially, and therefore shouldn't run into rate limiting. Here's the configuration I use:
POLLING_FREQUENCY=5
SCHEDULER_ROUND_ROBIN_MIN_INTERVAL=5
POLLING_PARSING_ERROR_LIMIT=0
CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_READ_DAYS=-1
CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_UNREAD_DAYS=-1
MEDIA_PROXY_MODE=all
BATCH_SIZE=25
WORKER_POOL_SIZE=1
When people say "close the border" they typically mean closing it to all traffic
Where are you getting that idea from?
Why are they the only ones who get to be "pragmatic"? Other people can "pragmatically" realize they have gals beyond the limited version they're proposing now, and "pragmatically" move to deny them their goals, and prevent any coalition from forming, even if theoretically they wouldn't be opposed to the limited version on principle.
