"I wanted my kids to know me," Jobs told Isaacson. "I wasn't always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did."

Bro chose his legacy over his kids and spent his last days cloying for validation of that decision rip-bozo

Acting like he's some fuckin' migrant worker forced to leave his family to get them what they need to survive smh

The massive bronze sculpture of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in uniform, astride his horse Traveller, stood in a downtown Charlottesville park for nearly a century. It was at the center of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017, when Neo-Nazis and white supremacists tried to stop the city's plans to remove the statue.

It came down to cheers in July of 2021.

[...]

Charlottesville prevailed in a protracted legal battle with the Sons of Confederate Veterans and other groups, and donated the Lee statue to a coalition that proposed to melt it down and create a more inclusive public art installation.

[...]

Lawsuits to stop the project failed, and last weekend organizers moved forward, with great secrecy, to disassemble and melt down the Lee monument.

The work is being done at an out-of-state foundry. NPR agreed not to reveal its location or the identity of the workers because they fear repercussions.

They use a torch to score the head of the statue, in the pattern of a death mask. Lee's face falls to floor with a loud clank.

The symbolism is poignant for Andrea Douglas, executive director of the Jefferson School African American Cultural Center in Charlottesville, which is leading the project.

"The act of myth-making that has occurred around Robert E. Lee, removing his face is emblematic of the kind of removal of that kind of myth," Douglas says.

The project is called Swords into Plowshares, taken from a Bible verse in the book of Isaiah.

[...]

The melting down of the Lee statue will take weeks. It weighed nearly 10,000 pounds. Organizers say the next step will be choosing an artist who will craft the bronze ingots into a new art form to be displayed in Charlottesville.

Seriously what is up with whining about people bringing their kids shopping. I get that they hate poor people I just would expect them to have more than one thing to talk about

Edit: Even though I enjoy conflict, I guess I'll add some context here anyway. The usual line I hear as smalltalk is "You don't have to bring the whole family shopping," which if you don't shut it down immediately, will be followed up with some of the most racist and/or classist statements you can imagine, typically involving birth rates

Just wanted to say real quick, fuuuuck Pampers and Huggies. They're decent and I've been buying them ever since trying a couple worse-than-useless cheaper brands (one was Hello Bello, idk the other) scared me back into their greedy arms, but it turns out they're almost triple the price of other decent ones

If you have an Aldi near you, I'd recommend at least comparing diaper prices online, because mine carries actual diapers that absorb piss and shit unlike the worse-than-useless ones, but they're the same price as the worse-than-useless ones

I was trying to become socially a good person for friends, to become socially favourable towards girls

Those are one and the same thing. Women aren't some other kind of beast that you have to learn about, they're just people that you need to unlearn some distinctions about if you ever want to connect with them. Same goes for men.

When I hear another man talk about men being chimps when chasing women, I hear excuses for stereotypical and often violent behavior

So, what did you telling this feminist about your self improvement look like? Did it involve saying anything about the supposed nature of men and/or women?

Because you're doing that here, and "self-improvement" has become synonymous with evo-psych quackery like Jordan Peterson's

"Simply saying I was working on self improving" lmao

You're the one making rightwing, redpill assertions. Shut up about women and you won't have this problem

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Did your "self improving" consist of listening to pseudo-evolutionary pseudo-psychologists run their mouths?

Do you understand the difference between an unused housing unit and an in-use one?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

So in the moral system you're proposing, it would be an offense to use those buildings without their owner's permission. The fact that people denied access to those buildings will die as a result, though, is just a part of nature

So, why would you expect a perspective which values property more than people to stir anyone's moral feeling? If you don't expect that, then why are you bothering to frame it in terms of right and wrong?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Just to compare, what's your moral read on all the people we deny housing to, who regularly die of exposure while empty housing units outnumber them?

Wait, sorry, did you just list "drawings of adults with big boobs" with "sexualized drawings of children" as though they were basically the same thing?

And they always conveniently ignore the part where the landlords had the option to accept change and live ordinary lives, but instead many of them fucked around and found out
