HubertManne, to kbinMeta in Someone made an account just to harrass me. how do i report it?

I think it comes down to sins. You can't make up for killing someone by saving a bunch of lives. Now it can be a powerful personal motivator but part of that motivator is recognizing it can never be made ok.

I think he assume you read the comment he put in his comment when you where commenting. Which is pretty short and this is it:

"They paid the moral debt with interest when they forced Africa to stop enslaving their own people to sell them.

Anyone who doesn’t know this is unqualified to speak about it or is being dishonest."

I do get your point which was europe had stopped doing slavery themselves (tacitly given peasants, indentured servitude, wager slavery [which under globalism increased greatly]) but were fine buying them as a commodity and then just deciding they can commoditization the whole race given how different they looked (one reason natives were not enslaved on that scale). Thing with commoditization slavery is it really treated slaves like a commodity and was more brutal than the type of slavery taking place in africa and more seen in history. For anyone or anyone I am in no way condoing or endorsing slavery but it is a complicated historical subject but I would rather have been a slave in many cultures than the typical american colony one or a typical dark ages peasant.

I like this. Would also make it easier to double check your blocks in case something improved.

HubertManne, to science in Scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don't have free will
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

Assuming his hypothesis is true I find this rediculous from the article:

"The world is really screwed up and made much, much more unfair by the fact that we reward people and punish people for things they have no control over," Sapolsky said. "We've got no free will. Stop attributing stuff to us that isn't there."

How is it made more so. We have no free will over how we reward or punish people. If the world is screwed up and his hypothesis correct then its exactly as screwed up as its supposed to be and our lack of decision neither make it worse or better. It just is.

HubertManne, to news in Brazil and Argentina turn to blockchain for citizen ID rollouts
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

Yeah I don't have an answer. I could look it up but my comment was not blockchain is the best thing to use for this scenario but that this was a better use of blockchain than crypto (the real but is I dont' feel like it atm).

@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

It is not necessarily the best way but keep in mind that blockchain does not mean peer to peer. The government systems can retain the ability to be authoritative.

@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I hate when an article about a possible good use of blockchain like in a national id shoves in mention of bitcoin one of the worst usese of blockchain.

HubertManne, to news in Alabama seeks to execute prisoner using nitrogen gas asphyxiation
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I agree here. I don't think we should be doing the death penalty but if it has to be done an inert gas is the least bad way.

@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

Silent but not untraumatic and painless. Basically inert gases you don't even realize your not getting oxygen and carbon monoxide is similar but you take it up and it causes many horrible symptoms. For details a combination of these will explain it.

At their best republicans are pretty crappy but its super villian in a lair stuff like this which makes it impossible for me to understand how anyone can vote for this party.

HubertManne, to news in Why healthcare workers are worried about possible changes to masking protocols in hospitals
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

All health care settings should require masks all around all the time at this point. It would be the best way to blunt spikes or new outbreaks without a more general mask mandates.

HubertManne, to news in Property developer Tim Gurner wants unemployment to "rise to 40-50%" reminding people that "they work for the employer, not the other way around" [video, 2 min]
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

In some cases they work for a employer. The successful type ones, although I guess im not real sure if you can call someone who can't get workers and employer anymore. So the more I think of it he is right. There are business owners and then there are successful business owners which can also be called employers.
