Edge goes one better and has Collections, which is mostly the same but you can further split links into topics, so you don't have to have political articles dumped in the same place as recipes or whatever.

If I'm browsing SA on my phone and an interesting link appears, I tap to 'share' it and the default share option adds it to pocket. Then I have pocket open on my desktop in a pinned tab and just catch up on everything there E: pocket also has a webpage previewer thing which can often get around pay walls somehow

Guavanaut posted:What's their current working definition of 'ethnic group'? quote:494. The definition of protected groups. While they specify the classes of prohibited conduct, international rules on genocide use a broad and loose terminology when indicating the various groups against which one can engage in acts of genocide, including references to notions that may overlap (for instance, “national” and “ethnical”). This terminology is criticised for referring to notions such as ‘race’, which are now universally regarded as outmoded or even fallacious. Nevertheless, the principle of interpretation of international rules whereby one should give such rules their maximum effect (principle of effectiveness, also expressed by the Latin maxim ut res magis valeat quam pereat) suggests that the rules on genocide should be construed in such a manner as to give them their maximum legal effects. It follows that by “national groups”, one should mean those sets of individuals which have a distinctive identity in terms of nationality or of national origin. On the other hand, “racial groups” comprise those sets of individuals sharing some hereditary physical traits or characteristics. “Ethnical groups” may be taken to refer to sets of individuals sharing a common language, as well as common traditions or cultural heritage. The expression “religious groups” may be taken to encompass sets of individuals having the same religion, as opposed to other groups adhering to a different religion. (501 alludes to the disputes that occurred during the writing of the Convention itself over whether this should include political groups, e.g., social classes)

Almost every coherent definition of ethnicity makes David Lammy more English than Jacob Rees-Mogg and I enjoy how much that winds some people up.

The Yiannopolis will always be outranked by the Milopenis. Does anyone have a good non-paywalled source for the Liz Truss / stonewall stuff? Everyone online seems to be sharing the Times article which I can't view on my phone or share without giving page views / revenue to the terf papers. E: also, is there a thread for the trashfuture podcast universe? I feel like there should be but I couldn't see one.

Everyone in a position of authority is an idiot who believes whatever they're told as long as it comes alongside an expensive dinner and a bunch of freebies. Nobody actually understands the issues or the morality, they just repeat whatever they've been told is the good thing to say and then they get lovebombed by terfs to reinforce it.

You'd think it would be worse in the US, because it was weaponized into "They want to be able to use Bathrooms without judgement. Which is just a front so they can legally do horrible things to your kids." But no, they are all over the UK. I think it's down to the fact that the UK people, as a whole, just love the taste of boot. There are just so many people who are happy to talk about the rules, and the proper way or doing things and so on that if enough of the "right people" tell them something, they will go along with it.

It's always been impressive to me that to have power in this world you have to focus your efforts and abilities on the pursuit of power rather than the gaining of knowledge or understanding. Sure there's a limit, you can't be expected to be an expert in every field, but it feels like you should be an expert in *something* just so you have an understanding of the limitations of knowledge and don't just Dunning Kruger your way to the top. As a leader you should surround yourselves with smart people each with their own specialisations and then lean into their knowledge and use it to form your policies and opinions. Instead the only way to get into one of those "smart expert" fields is to be a specialist in politicking of the right clubs you got sent to as a kid. All the while the system is set up to look like it's actually functional and doing what I just said to the casual observer. Instead of a bunch of bastards trying to out bastards each other for another slice of the poo poo pie.

Basically the idea that institutions and political parties in the UK can ever be anything other than a blight and dead weight on people's lives getting better is a joke. Every aspect of the government just exists to make things worse.

There seems to be a mindset where people extrnalise their own prejudices as "oh, other people will say..." Like they don't want to admit that it's what they thought, so they frame it as 'concerns' that 'other people' might think that. My brother dyed his hair pillbox red (and to be fair he has great hair and it looked really good) and my Daily Mail reading Mam was up in arms about it, talking about 'what will people think' and 'people will call him names' and I just felt like no; you feel like that, you just don't want to admit it so you're pretending that other people are going to think that.

Some of the discussion seems to be down to the age old nugget of essentialism vs constructivism. Essentialist thinking appeals to those who think they're being "rational" or understanding "nature". It's the idea that certain "things" have essential qualities and if those qualities are removed then it is no longer that "thing". For example, mammals are species whose females produce milk for their young. If its females don't lactate during child rearing, they're not mammals. That would be an essentialist argument. Constructivist thinking appeals more to socially orientated minds. Its the idea that everything we've thought of is a social construct. We described mammals for our own purposes, but could easily decide that the definition of mammals can change if we decide to deconstruct or reconstruct the concept. The essentialists get up in arms when the essences they're describing, particularly ones from what they perceive to be an external reality, are then changed. Constructivists get up in arms when there is a reason for changing a construct that is resisted for reasons that, to a constructivist, amount to begging the question (because essences don't exist).
