If you label “when people from the middle east kill family members for disobeying the family” as honor killings, then yes it’s going to be a list of primarily Muslim people.

If you replace “from the middle east” with “from Italian-American culture” you get a list of mafioso.

If you replace it with “from the Italian peninsula c.0 AD” then you get a list of Roman patriarchs who had the literal power of life or death legally over their offspring and numbered rather than named their useless daughters.

Islam did not make these people kill their families. It did however make an American decide to call it an “honor killing”.

The Dalai Lama(s) are worshipped as reincarnations Avalokiteśvara, the Buddha of Compassion.

If “god” means “something you can pray to, to directly make changes to reality”, then they are definitely a god. The issue here is the conceptual trappings of Christianity’s deity as a creator and omnipotent being.

The section on Tibetan Buddhism in the Wikipedia Avalokiteśvara article leads quite happily with calling them a deity and follows by noting the link to the Dalai Lama(s)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalokiteśvara?wprov=sfla1

Tibetan Buddhist beliefs Avalokiteśvara is an important deity in Tibetan Buddhism. He is regarded in the Vajrayana teachings as a Buddha.[56]

…(Paragraph on Tara)…

Certain living tulku lineages, including the Dalai Lamas and the Karmapas, are considered by many Tibetan Buddhists to also be manifestations of Avalokiteśvara.[60][61][62]

I’m all for shitting on tankies but I’m unsure what part of an all-male divine birthright theocracy they’re supposed to support?

Ireland isn’t in Schengen.

Your code can compile while you’re in a retro, retrospectively looking back at the action items raised in a previous retro but not assigned any sprint time in the current sprint so you just raised a “what went wrong” about it not being planned and now you have more non-sprint work to do because every problem should be presented with a solution and if you could have that for the next retro they’ll review this retro’s action items and see if you have a proposal for fixing retro action items

I’m not sure what you interpret from the words “policy changes” but they dont usually refer to a weird feeling.

Vibes. Got it.

Raped some native girl and then… took custody of the child?

This is a game from the 90s my dude. Java was “The portable language”.

Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.

The UN is specifically not a protester with a gun.

The moment the UN uses proactive force, it just becomes NATO.

Yes this is just a strongly worded letter. You might think that’s useless. Not sure what you expect them to do differently though?

You can just say you don’t know what the UN is, it’s ok.

Right. But your examples are about a situation not changing. You know what news is right?

Or are you saying Bitcoin was never worth mining?

The headline is only ridiculous if you are inferring something else that isn’t in the headline. Otherwise it’s just… true?

I have terrible news for you if you think using a homophobic slur is as bad as anything the previous popes and cardinals have been doing.

Our other trade partner also went batshit about 10 years ago and made it a lot more difficult to trade with them.

Life’s lonely as a relatively norma neutrall northern-hemisphere anglophone state.

Even taking that incredibly Lemmy-brained statement as fact, I wonder if you understand that donated computers are not primarily for people who don’t ordinarily have a reason to use computers.

Well, because if the receiver of these can’t or won’t use Linux, then not efficiently trying to recycle them will either put the burden of getting them properly recycled on vulnerable people, or they just won’t be, either sitting collecting dust or being thrown in the dump.

I’m not saying it’s a strong reason, but it is a question to consider.
