Nice to see China being recognized.

China is way ahead on this kind of automation.

It's his actions that put him here. And considering the suffering he would cause in office, I have no sympathy at this point.

I hear you. But proclaiming that third party candidates are intentionally trying to dilute the vote, as the commmentor I replied to implied, is no different than Harris's response at the rally.

It's meant to shame third parties for not getting in line behind the Democratic candidate. Instead of listening to people's grievances, they both weaponize shame.

I'm voting for Harris because less suffering is good.

But your comment was off base. WI does have a lot of leftists sick of genocide and that's why so many are on the ticket.

If Dems don't want the vote diluted, they need to come out against the genocide. Not shame people for having a conscience and not stepping in line, like Kamala recently did at a rally .

Lemmy drank the kool aid. This is an alt account. I mostly hang out on hexbear for actual left discourse.

And I'm voting for Harris, because it will cause less suffering. But that doesn't mean I'm going to shut up about genocide.

My exact thought.

Mandatory retirement age for all public officials would be nice. Tag it to mean life expectancy, -10 years.

It would incentivize politicians to take care of the population in the long term.

I even researched his jurisprudence especially where it concerned civil rights.

Because they're not class conscious and made it a race thing. While completely overlooking Anita Hill's story.

Depends on what you mean by religion.

Buddhist monks and nuns shave their heads and don the robes as a ceremonial act of letting go of identity views such as 'us and them' and even self and other.

This and not holding onto dogmatic views in general is a big part of the practice and the teachings.

Not saying all Buddhists are perfect by any means. I've hung out in enough Buddhist online spaces to come across a lot of dogmatism and people using Buddhism itself as an identity view. Myself included when I wasn't as far along my own path.

But the intention of the practice is to point these things out and help people to let them go. Not to cling to them.

Aid is a gift. They paid for some of it.
