Aren’t emojis pictograms and ideograms but not usually logograms? They’re direct depictions of concepts, not usually direct stand-ins for words like logograms are.

Better examples of logograms in English I think are &, $, %, @,+,=, etc. We actually have a bunch we use all the time.

Specifically they said ‘Kanji’, though, so I think they’re talking more about the actual character structure of :.|:;.

I reckon that cornea there’s bumpier than a gnarled pebble judgin by the number of them there shimmers.

You were the one who implied that, by saying that not having children leaves it up to those who will.

Adoption. Community building. Helping the disenfranchised.

These are all methods of bettering the future without pumping another child into this world. And arguably, they’re morally better than having a child.

I agree that bringing life into the world is morally bad. I also agree that eating other animals is morally bad, as is killing, always. However, that does not mean we should not do these things at times. You just need to understand that you are still committing an immoral act for personal gain. There is no such thing as a perfectly moral existence, as the world is a cruel place which cares little about morality and often forces you to be immoral. You should instead work towards being as moral as in out can when you can, and accept that sometimes morality is out of your hands.

In the case of the child: you are bringing a human consciousness kicking and screaming into this world you know to be dangerous and cruel. That is immoral, and you did it either by failing precaution, or out of personal want or instinct. I think to repent, you are morally obligated to give that child a good life at minimum and ideally the best life you can. You are beholden to them until they can live on their own happily, and you are obligated to help them even after that. I also think that if that child resents how you’ve cared for them, you have no grounds to hold that against them, as you were the one that forced them into this world.

If you cannot do the above, you are should reconsider whether you are fit to have a child.

It is also arguable that to do justice without injustice, the only option is to adopt or guide another person who has no one providing things they need, and I don’t think this kindness should be limited to children but children are the most vulnerable.

I understand what you mean. The future is scarily uncertain right now.

I encourage folks take that anxiety and turn it into productivity. Look into your local solidarity communities, which may take form as Union groups, local food shelfs, or many other forms. Donating your time or resources is what can help those most impacted right now and later down the line. There’s no cut and dry way to find them, you just have to look and ask around your community.

I would also recommend beginning to prep. There’s some small communities on Lemmy, such as preppers@Lemmy.world ( you can find others by searching communities with ‘prep’ in their name). There’s also some great podcasts covering prepping such as LLTWID and It Can Happen Here(this one is more heavy on current news but provides prep info in some episodes.

I would also say that keeping your ear on guntubers isn’t a bad idea (Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb, etc.). Not only do they provide tutorials that are potentially useful in extreme cases (Garand Thumb’s urban and rural evasion tutorials and TRex Arm’s summary of radio comms for example), but they are also likely laying out the playbooks most amateur militia will use in the future (if it comes to that), which could be useful info to know going forward.

AWAB, fuck the Mage’s Guild!

Wait, how’s it got a keyboard? What are all the modifications here? This is nuts.

Sleepin’ in your bed

So long as that drug use is paired by actually good rehabilitation infrastructure (like Portugal’s drug abuse treatment before its unraveling)

In the US? Dudes love glocks here, so fewer guns have anything but a trigger/grip safety.

If this is the name of the game, it’s dumb. It’s not like they lined the Devs up along a wall. They’ll still be able to serve other companies with their talent since Microsoft just cut their leads.

I thought this meme was showing someone using an app to fuck with the president’s state-issued implant/pacemaker. Not the implant I was thinking.

I don’t know this fandom, I don’t know who these two are, but I saw this pics title is “HiroShima” and I need answers.

What’s this mean? I’m OOTL.

Yes, and people are already getting hit with propaganda constantly encouraging them to recycle, take the bus, buy fewer clothes, and a bunch of other minute actions. Some people even followed through.

This post was explicitly about getting people to support action against corporations, and your response to it was to take a dig at the message and promote more of the most common environmentalism propaganda in the US - as if it wasn’t promoted to high hell already.
