Attacks on Jews tripled in the days after 9/11. The hatred is the point.

All over the world I believe. The US, Europe, South America, Canada. The ones that I've seen talk about this sort of stuff seem like they could be from just about anywhere except for China or Russia. They talk about those countries the way that somebody outside looking in on a culture would, not in a way that somebody with firsthand experience living in a place would, if that makes sense.
The full quote is even more something out of a movie too somehow.
He had just been asked if he knew how many mass shootings had been committed by trans people, to which he responded "too many," and was then asked if he knew how many mass shootings happened in the past ten years, where he responded "with or without gang violence?"
It looked like a shot right in the jugular. Even if EMT's were sitting right next to him, it's incredibly unlikely to survive that.
Yeah, the creators of Lemmy are communists of some form (I don't remember exactly), and the older instances are largely groups of like-minded people, some egregious and some not. The most intolerable of the instances have been defederated from the rest of the instances, so they can't interact with the rest of Lemmy. ML is probably the most mild of the bunch and is largely just one of the big instances full of memes and such, but you'll occasionally see why they use the .ml address flare up in threads.
The ones that I've had any negative interaction with in regards to anything related to politics have always quoted theory at me and told me that if I just read some theory, I'd agree with them.
I honestly haven't cared enough to see if theory actually agrees with them or if they're like those Christian extremists who believe that the Bible says to hate minorities.
Because the ml stands for Marxist-Leninist. They live in a world of communist theory where nobody but capitalist pig-dogs suffer.
So it's always had a negative connotation to it? Because that's what I'm saying. That Google is using the word by its correct definition, but adding to the original definition a subtext that side loading is a bad thing. Hence, they're twisting it from its original meaning to a negative connotation to the average person (who has never heard the word before).
It's like Windows' UAC popping up with a warning when you try to install just about anything. To the average computer illiterate person, they're going to second guess whatever they're installing as "dangerous" while the rest of us are like "shut up Windows, of course I want to install the Nvidia drivers, that's why I clicked on the damn thing."
America has been a third world country for decades now. The only reason that it hasn't felt like it is because there's so much money still circulating in our economy from helping the world rebuild after WW2 and selling military equipment and culture during the Cold War (plus the whole American Empire thing, can't forget that). By all the metrics that are used to rate the quality of health of a country - things like infrastructure quality, wealth inequality, healthcare costs and CoL vs income - the US is much closer to third world countries than to comparable European countries.
As somebody once said, America is a third world country in a Prada belt.
While true, with hand drawn animation it's slightly different as not every frame is drawn (usually). Disney films looked so good because they were done "on the two's" instead of the industry standard of "on the three's" - meaning that Disney films had a drawn frame for every 2 fps instead of every 3, or 12 drawn frames per second instead of the normal 8. Your brain interpolates the rest of the between frames, but this is why Disney looks so much more smooth.
Another great example is Akira, which was done on the 1's and 2's. That it has 12 to 24 hand drawn frames per second makes the visual quality difference really visible when compared to other movies.
By justifying getting rid of it as "security concerns". This is the first time the average user will have heard the term, so it will be linked in their head to this and therefore as risky/dangerous and they won't question why Google would want to make it harder, if not impossible, for people to install apps or other software without Google's explicit permission.
The walls around the garden get taller, and those inside won't question why there aren't any doors.
It always is. They always jump to blaming liberals, minorities, etc. long before there's any information.
