Those are lithium compounds and not elemental lithium?

Lithium is only yellow??

Y u leave my boy Gharial out huh?

They are so cute too https://blog.wcs.org/photo/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Don-Boyer-10425-Gharial.jpg

I don’t understand why this comment is inevitably under every Tiktok thread. Everyone knows Big Tech spies for the govt especially the lawmakers, precisely why they don’t want a hostile foreign govt doing it.

China knows this too - that’s why FB, Google etc are banned there. So what’s your point?

Is that joke that on a cosmic level, it’s mostly hydrogen and helium (?) so others get ignored, like how genders other than the usual 2 get ignored? If so, that’s so smart and funny, wow.

Or is it something else that I’m not getting?

that it’s a cultural issue

So when white people say racist things, it’s a one off shithead person. But when brown people do crimes, it must be in their culture, got it.

We can get #NotAllIndians trending

How about we don’t make it about their skin color or “culture” so that we wouldn’t have to do?

By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality?

Not bullshit, never claimed that. Only thing I’m saying is that violence against women is a problem everywhere, not special about Indians. And making it about them is unhelpful and harmful.

That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

Oof damn talk about putting words in my mouth. Crazy that you want to die on this hill so bad and all based on “the data is wrong” and “my friends said they were sketchy”. Since you are resorting to things I didn’t say to attack me, I’ve realized that this is a waste of time. Good luck - make sure to practice your bigotry in silence, though - unlike this shithead professor but like thousands of professors who are not shithead enough to put it in writing. That will definitely help everyone.

I explicitly said it was not you but propaganda lol.

femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia

So we went from stats to “trust me cos my friends told me”. Let me guess, your friends also clutch their pearls around sketchy (read “anyone who is not pure white”) people?

who is not white

Cannot think of why someone who is not white would do such mental gymnastics to defend blatant racism. At best it does not help and worst leads to things like this - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/09/german-professor-rebuked-for-discrimination-over-indias-problem

The whole world is extremely sexist and brutal to women. That is clear and undeniable. The problem is when things happen in PoC countries, it gets attributed to their skin color and wide generalizations are made. For example - https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/comments/2yfd88/indian_student_claims_german_professor_denied/

This is someone who said it loud, imagine how many do it silently.

Are you saying US LEOs are on top of their game when it comes to handling cases? Or that women in the US do not feel repercussions for reporting rape cases?

According to those numbers, US has ~73x more. So even if one in 73 is reported, it will match the US. In the end, all you have is that brown people = rapists, terrorists etc. Not saying it’s you, it’s the decades of racist propaganda.

Remember, transphobia with a feminist slant is still transphobic. Racism with feminist slant is still racist.

Thank you for that!

The problem is the first frame. The woman says she doesn’t think a whole group shouldn’t exist. You can’t say that and expect a person from that group to ask why she thinks he should be dead… Replace the sealion with any minority group and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Replace what she said with “trans women are women” or something progressive and I would be 100% on board with the comic. At best the comic is executed badly, at worst it’s an exercise in making anti-racists look bad.

This comic sucks and openly defends racist rhetoric. Why is it so highly upvoted on Lemmy?

I mean he has a history of doing this… Also, it’s not an audio recording. He joined a live audio chat and everyone on the chat (Alex Jones and some other weirdo) thought it was Elon.

Wait what are we seeing here? What’s the antenna thing?

“Malaysia has a dual-track legal system, with both government laws and Shariah”

Well there’s your problem. No one can progress if you mix religion with the state…

I tried growing a bed of veggies during the pandemic and miserably failed lol. I’m someone who has been growing 100+ houseplants for years so I’m not a novice.

I have deep respect for farmers, not just because of the talent and hard work but also because of the courage it takes to do it (like your life can be ruined if there isn’t enough rain one year).

Cyrillic

That’s… I can work with that

Wait why are they backing EVs?

Wait what. More than Middle Eastern countries??

No way it went up 20x in 5yrs? There must be something weird with the data
