No they said beauty standards are rooted in white supremacy. Meaning things like modeling agencies prefering they models to have hair styles and textures that are more likely to be found on Caucasian models.
I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

Greenwich, now you go and bring ole Henry VIII into this… Surely that’ll help
Well if we’re all going to be in one time zone, then one has to be designated as the True Earth Time, and the world’s governments.have already decided which one it is.
Haha. Hope your having a good day
Likewise. 🍻
As time is relative to us, why not make it static.
Because we already have, when the time zones were created. All time zones are just offsets to UTC/GMT. And as you’ve observed, society at large wants to use a localized offset because it just feels natural to do so.
No, my argument is that time zones are a formalization of what we observe in physical reality: that different parts of the planet are experience a different phase of the Earth’s rotation through direct sunlight in at any given moment. They can’t ever be perfect, so we all have to agree to a best approximation, and some communities decide for themselves that they don’t want to have a a dividing line through the middle of their city, and that’s fine because the whole system is meant for co-ordinating over long distances.
Time zones weren’t established to adjust for north/south variances, they’re for east/west. And we don’t adjust the clocks to make sunrise and sunset fall on consistent time of day throughout the year. They’re so that we can reliably account for what the local time is somewhere other than where we are (in the USA they were created for cross-continental railroads to publish train schedules). We already have GMT/UTC and every other time zone is defined relative to that, so why don’t you just personally use that in all your own devices and communications already? Nothing but you can prevent you from doing so.
But the time indicates your relative position in the Earth’s rotation. The number 13 in reference to the rotational cycle means the sun in the sky is a particular number of degrees away from your position on the earth and it only that particular value in that one geographic slice of the planet. You can personally choose to use UTC/GMT for yourself if that’s what you want to do, and meeting invites you send and receive will all correct accordingly for the configured time zone.
What the fuck is wrong with timezones?
The US tried full DST under Nixon and it didn’t last through the first winter.
I took it to mean that the article is using “Europe” to mean “European Union” in order to contextualize the quotes in the post. But I haven’t read the article so that’s just my opinion, man.
The first two for sure. The 3rd was fun but got a bit weird with Jean Reno featuring in it (it had some back and forth time jumps). If I tried Dawn of Dreams, I don’t much remember it.
Aw yisss! I believe the first Onimusha was my first PS2 game.
auto-correct typo. Meant to say non-proton domain (like protonmail.com, proton.me, etc). You can forward the @gmail.com addresses to your Proton mailbox, but there is no way for your to send as those gmail.com addresses from your Proton mailbox in the same way you can send as non gmail.com addresses from your gmail mailbox. You can send as an address from a domain that you own and configure all the DNS records for Proton to handle.
It’s not a free vs paid feature. You simply cannot send or reply with a non-profit domain that you don’t own. This feature has already been requested several times on the uservoice site
and on the Reddit forum
The points you’re making will only be worse under a full ban. Legalizing it with strong regulations for testing and labelling are the only thing that would make it safer for you.
Zelensky isn’t really proposing for NATO to admit only part of Ukraine. He’s suggesting the existing recognized borders be admitted, but only unoccupied parts of Ukraine fall under article 5 for now. That would prevent Russia from occupying any more land and hopefully bring them to a negotiating table to peacefully return the occupied land. After which the whole of Ukraine would fall under article 5.
Most of the Palestinian posts I see are fundraising posts. Seriously it seems like you’re just out there looking for what you want to complain about. There’s plenty of racism and bigotry on the fediverse if you go looking for it.
I’ve seen plenty of posts by people asserting to be Palestinians.
Seriously all the posters I see and follow are far left and extremely pro-palestinian and are quite quick to criticize liberals, on multiple topics. Maybe you just followed a bunch of the wrong people and decided that was everybody.
By and large the posters/commenters for those other communities just haven’t wanted to move over.
