@mia because the same people that capitalize over companies in the US, capitalize over unions in Israel. The only difference is, they get to pretend they're here for the employee, instead of just profits.

We need unions. -
We need unions.@mia more importantly than just "unions": we need equal unions.
Israel has unions, yet they're capitalized just like any other organization. Every job needs its own union, and all unions within a given company need have a power representative to their importance to it over it.
Unions need to be democratic by law. Unions must be forbidden from monopolizing over their employees and from excluding employees not members of the union.
Unions are non-profits and therefore are companies themselves - and should be treated as such by the government.

Thinking about revising #ProjectGimli 's profiling system, from a multiple profiles per account system into a transparent "asepcts" feature.@mikedev yup. That's the previous idea. But, to prevent spam - they're always gonna link to a "default" profile.
The only problem is the default-profile-per-account chicken and egg.

Thinking about revising #ProjectGimli 's profiling system, from a multiple profiles per account system into a transparent "asepcts" feature.@mikedev the main use-case here is actually not separating topics, but separating identities (for plural systems).
Separating stuff by topic is a separate issue that needs a separate solution imo.
The simplest solution being, add easy-to-use filter-by-hashtags buttons. But simplest doesn't mean best, especially given that everything else is not designed around hashtags.

Thinking about revising #ProjectGimli 's profiling system, from a multiple profiles per account system into a transparent "asepcts" feature.Note, by aspects I mean something similar to Discord's per-server profiles - for every post, you can use a different "asepct" of your account, that has its own bio, pfp, username, and display name - and with the account itself having a "default" aspect.
Maybe I'll even give these aspects their own usernames - i.e.
@laxystem/[email protected]
, so that one will be able to mention them individually.But inherently, the only difference is that each account has a default profile that all other accounts link to.

Thinking about revising #ProjectGimli 's profiling system, from a multiple profiles per account system into a transparent "asepcts" feature.@silverpill hmmmm... Interesting, but not what I'm trynna make, at least not UX-wise. Though, it is similar enough for me to federate with streams regarding it.

Hello #Mastodon friends@maggiejk @benroyce that's my point, it's very hard to create genuine transphobic arguments, because of most them rely on nothing (though the "gender is a social construct" - contrary to "gender roles are a social construct" - argument does give 'em some points but it's mostly people expressing themself wrongly)

I've met several people who went to ivy league schools.@ajroach42 additionally, the Ivy League is a scam made by expensive private schools to justify the cost (and therefore, class-restriction) of education.
-
I've met several people who went to ivy league schools.@ajroach42 I would say it is real, but only within the bounds of class. The rich, that can afford higher and better education, are accepted on a meritocratic basis - because meritocracy is inherently incompatible with the lack of welfare - unless education is free for those who cannot afford it, an institution cannot possibly accept people solely by their skill, as it implicitly takes their class and wealth into consideration by charging money for education.

It's Nakba Day.@boulder @evan the last attempt, Camp David, failed, and was then succeeded by the intifida (which in turn was succeeded by the sakkintifada), which caused a lot of Israelis to believe Palestinians are what the barbarians were to Rome - that is incidentally around the same time Netanjahu became Prime Minister.

Hello #Mastodon friends@benroyce yup. That argument is logically and ethically correct, but is actually just wrong. We (filler) always tell people what they can and can't say when it relates to us personally. When someone tells another's secret, they're excluded from society cause no one trusts them. And that's a very good precedent and justifier for, and example of "yes you can, but queer people and allies just won't talk to you".
And here's something I like: a state could illegalize homophobia (the same way Germany illegalized Nazism for causing riots, not for being Nazism) with the precedent of, "we want queer people to live here and feel safe; therefore, the government will sue public displayers of homophobia (or racism, or anything) on the public's behalf".
Ethical basis, causing one to feel unwelcome is unethical. Legal basis, sues of defamation and aggravation. And this is not preventing free speech, because it's merely the government suing on behalf of the people (this does require most people to be allies to count).

Hello #Mastodon friends@benroyce I obviously don't ever intend on doing that, and obviously, I can't without a lot of logical fallacies, as I've said.
But, it's very possible to make their arguments much sound-ier, cause they're uninformed ignorants in denial.
It is possible, btw, in a communist society, to argue against trans people. Not very well (and not against transness itself), but it's possible (cause communist societies use equality instead of the western equity).

Hello #Mastodon friends@benroyce note: the objectively best argument against trans people is, "you can't force people to say what you want them to", because people in 2020 did expect society to take (non-they/them) neopronouns seriously - it's the only one remotely based on a fact.
And its counter is "but other people do that, not me" which is always weak.

Hello #Mastodon friends@benroyce I mean I know that my point is I would make a much better bigoted extreme-rightist politician, the current ones are extremely inconsistent.
For one I believe I'll be able to construct an actually meaningful argument against trans people. Meaningful, as in, not extremely self-conflicting, completely illogical, and not supported by any research whatsoever, but rather a combination of facts strung together with logical fallacies.
I find it really funny that the same psychological phantasm preventing people from accepting the fact trans people just exist also prevents them from making actually good arguments.

Paying for things electronically may be convenient, but it is too easy to spend outside a budget and impulse buy.@BeAware @noondlyt solution: browse shopping sites logged out. It's even better cause the site's algorithm isn't tailored for you, so it'll only show you the things you want, not the things you impulse buy a lot.
On Google Chrome Log-in is two-click if you've saved your password (which can now be encrypted), so it's even better - cause you have to find the key in the omnibox, then click on "Log-in", which is a mental barrier (i.e. actively searching for buy button vs being tempted to press it)

Hello #Mastodon friends@benroyce I don't get those bigots. Won't it make more sense to call trans a slur? Like... Cause it's what they're against?
Though it'll be very funny seeing the EU posting warnings. Maybe even some countries (hopefully the EU itself too) will delete their Twitter account completely!
