Denying the genocides of the past enables those who carry out the genocides of today

Much of my family left Turkey after my great-grandfather was murdered in the Armenian Genocide. Turkey, Israel, and many other countries still deny this genocide occurred. It’s a denial that enables genocides like that in Gaza to take place today.

Every. Single. Time.

Léon Blum (1872–1950) was a French socialist politician and lawyer who served as Prime Minister of France, most notably leading the Popular Front government from 1936 to 1937. As leader of the French Socialist Party (SFIO), he was a key figure in the left-wing coalition that included socialists, communists, and radicals, winning the 1936 elections. His government introduced significant reforms, including the 40-hour workweek, paid holidays, and collective bargaining rights, known as the Matignon Agreements. Blum, a Jew, faced intense anti-Semitism and political opposition, particularly from the far-right. He briefly served again as Prime Minister in 1938 and 1946. During World War II, he was arrested by the Vichy regime, tried in 1942, and deported to Buchenwald, but survived. Blum was a prominent intellectual, advocating democratic socialism and humanism.

Women gained the right to vote in France in 1944, with the ordinance of April 21, 1944, issued by the provisional government under Charles de Gaulle, granting women suffrage. They first voted in the 1945 municipal elections.

This is the result.

A new analysis says the wealth of just 3,000 billionaires is “more than enough to eliminate annual poverty 22 times over.

This new analysis reveals that the wealth of just 3,000 billionaires is enough to eliminate global poverty 22 times over.
Meanwhile, the cost of living, rent, and basic necessities keep skyrocketing —
but has your wage increased to match it?

🔹 Why does poverty still exist in such a wealthy world?
🔹 How is it fair that billionaire wealth keeps multiplying while most people struggle to afford the basics?
🔹 Is this greed, systemic design, or something else?

I've been feeling pretty aimless and depressed lately. I've been mostly just playing video games. I think finishing God's Disdain, something I worked on for nearly a decade, just destroyed me a little bit. Now I have to start something new and that's been really hard. I'm still burned out with game dev but I do still want to make another game. Plenty more, actually. I was thinking of maybe starting a video game review channel since I'm playing a lot of games, or writing a book because I am a petty good writer, or creating some new music for another album. All of these ideas floating around my head but I'm finding it hard to just pick something and dedicate myself to it.

Part of me is also wondering if it's okay to just chill out for a bit, like I released this thing (and it didn't do well at all but that's beside the point) so now I should take a rest and let myself take some time off. There's that tugging at the back of my skull to keep working on stuff though and I can't get rid of it.

Recommendations for an Offline Music Player That Supports Synced Lyrics

Hi folks,

Recently, I started to listen to music locally instead of using streaming services because I have had enough of all the annoying parts of it. I gathered a lot of Opus and FLAC files that have lyrics embedded in them. I am searching for some music players that can display them. The one I am using right now is Elisa. It is awesome, but I would still like to know if there are more alternatives, just in case. Thanks!

@Max_Imum @tj, don't be too hard on her. I live in the south and recipes are a secret to many. People will not pass them down but maybe to 1 person that they wont feel will replace them. Maybe that is what makes them feel like they are valuable, maybe that is one of the only things they feel like they can uniquely contribute, so if they give that up, what value are they to the family

Postgres disaster recovery?
So, I had to shutdown my mini pc home server (on NIXOS) so that it could be used for something else. Most of my data is in a pair of external hdds in a RAID configuration. However the Postgres database was in the boot drive. I still have it, but it refuses to boot anywhere else (tried some old spare laptops). How can I recover it?

I was 16 when I busted my face open from a bicycle ramping accident, without a helmet. I ripped my chin flesh off my jawbone when that happened.

I've always wondered what's the deal with helmets having that visor part in the front. If I had been wearing one of those when that happened, it would have pushed my head further back and broke my neck..

I'm still alive today, because I wasn't wearing a helmet.

presses X to doubt

Helmets (at least when properly designed) absorb impacts and even rotational force with MIPS.

Also, if you're doing jumps, you should be wearing a full face MIPS helmet.

Not only would you not be dead, you might've come away completely unharmed (minus a dead helmet).

A MIPS+Spherical helmet (Bell Super Air R) saved my life last year too.

Don't be a dumbass: Wear a helmet.

Yo, even the emergency room was surprised I didn't break my neck. The only reason I didn't was literally because I didn't have a helmet on to push my head further backwards.

I survived a concussion and facial injuries, no broken bones. I would not have survived a broken neck..

I did stop doing jumps after that though, counted myself lucky, not stupid.

It's like when someone goes on about their friends mom's college roommate's sister's cousin was in an accident and the EMTs and hospital definitely told them they would have died if they were wearing their belt or they died because they were wearing a belt.

K. You're still wearing it or you're getting the fuck out of my car. End of discussion and if you want to keep spouting dumb shit everywhere then we have nothing more to talk about.

Helmets save lives. Period. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot.

Of course I wear a seatbelt when in a vehicle, but we're not talking about seatbelts nor passengers to even kick out. We're talking about a bicycle, my bicycle in my case, which I'll ride however I choose.

I'm 42 now, been riding bicycles since I was 4. As long as I keep the wheels on the ground and don't do stupid stuff like ramping, I have never once hit my head.

Sure I've busted my knees, shins and elbows a few times doing flatland balance tricks, so if I went for protective gear, I'd go for the gear I actually need, shin guards, elbow guards, and kneepads.

If I was so worried about any little chance of busting my head, I'd wear a helmet every time I walk up and down the stairs. Hell, a friend of mine just last month missed a single 4" high step coming out of a gas station and busted his head wide open and needed 10 staples.

Point is, you can trip and fall practically anywhere, even just on foot. With that said, why don't pedestrians wear helmets? They're just as much at risk, especially if walking near or across road traffic..

I don't even ride my bicycle over 15mph, unless I absolutely have to for some reason. I don't race, and at absolute max my single speed low geared BMX bike can only achieve is 24mph, which I practically never ride that fast.

Read my other comments, my usual cruising pace is ~11mph, and when I do BMX flatland tricks, those are only usually around a mere 5mph. I don't ride any faster than my feet can stop me in a pinch. Brakeless rider here no less.

Try watching a BMX flatland video or three, flatland isn't about speed, its about balance. Sure some riders like to speed, but not me, I just like to cruise and pull some occasional bike tricks.

You might as well insist that the Olympics make ice skaters wear a helmet, equally as dangerous at such low speeds.

You're right, I'm no Olympic athlete.

I think outside the box, have no brakes, and don't even need shoes.

Don't try this at home, but it's almost the 4th of July, so I might as well share. Yes this is me...

Did you miss my point about the visor? If I had been wearing a helmet with a visor when that happened, the extra protrusion from the visor sticking out from my forehead would have pushed my head back about an additional 20 degrees and would have snapped my neck.

Did anyone catch the actual article about the helmet recall? Those helmets have... visors

I never said helmets are a bad thing, I said helmets with a visor are a bad thing.

Either way I still would have busted my chin open, that was the initial main point of impact, and I don't see too many bike helmets out there with chin guards.

You are operating under multiple layers of ignorance and frankly, I just don't have the energy to correct everything you've said but suffice it to say:

1: Properly designed visors will actually protect you and most definitely will not "break your neck".

2: There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of bicycle helmets with chin guards. I would strongly encourage anyone doing jumps, downhill, or even e-bikes at higher speeds to get a good MIPS full face helmet and wear it every time. If you're going to go faster than 25 frequently it's probably even time to get a DOT/SNELL certified moto helmet.

You don't know what would have actually happened if you were wearing a properly designed helmet because you chose not to wear one, which was an objectively foolish decision no matter how you try to justify it.

I have no interest in debating this further though, believe whatever you like: It's your brain to protect (or not).

I was 16, you think I was thinking much back then? Like I said, I've since quit ramping. My current bike's cruising speed is about 11mph, and is a single speed geared low where even at absolute max it simply cannot exceed 24mph.

I'm not into racing, If I'm not cruising around 11 to 15 mph, I'm doing BMX flatland balance tricks probably around a mere 5mph.

I do thank you for the thoughts and advice though, but you're assuming I'm going way faster than I usually do. If I somehow manage to hit my head doing anything at 5mph, I'll just retire from riding altogether.

I'm nowhere near as skilled as these riders, but I took lots of inspiration from these professional riders. Note what the pros don't even use in flatland...

Enjoy the video clip, or not, up to you. Have a good day.

I'm pretty sure that's part of the general design intent yes, but you'd have to know the exact angle of my impact. Chin first, left side, dragging upwards, from about 6 feet in the air, tire level, which means my head started off about 9 feet in the air. It also jammed my glasses into my forehead, which is how I know the angle I hit. It only takes about 7 pounds of force to snap a neck, and I impacted chin first with all ~150 pounds of my body weight from pretty high up.

I could have largely avoided the chin/face impact if I had put my arms and hands out in front of me, but I would have ended up with broken arms and my handlebars stuck through my gut instead.

Yes things would have went differently if I had been wearing a helmet, perhaps could have been better, perhaps could have been worse. No way to truly know, and I'm damn skippy not about to try it again.

The reason that happened was because the ramp wasn't secured to any sort of frame, it was just a sheet of plywood laid on a ~4 foot high dirt mound. There were 4 of us taking turns ramping, and as my front wheel came off the ramp, the next friend was just hitting the ramp behind me. That caused the plywood to flex, pushing my back wheel upwards as I was leaving the ramp.

I had a whole second or so to say "OH SHIT!" and decide whether to keep hold of the straight handlebars or not. I didn't want my handlebars stuck through my gut, so I held the bars.

Anyways, from that sort of height, chin/face first, I don't think a helmet would have made all too much of a difference. But if I had been wearing a helmet with a visor, my glasses probably wouldn't have been jammed into my forehead, which would have meant that my head would have been pushed back at more of an angle. Even the ER doctors noticed that.

Not saying it's right, but in my 42 years of life, I've never met a bicycle rider that even owns a helmet. To even obtain a helmet, you gotta ride to another city to even get one. And the intersection at that Walmart is one of the absolute most dangerous intersections out there for bike riders. So oddly enough, its safer to avoid the only place we can even get helmets.

TL;DR - I was 16, doing stupid shit and ramping a rigged up ramp with 3 other friends, and nobody out there wore or even had helmets. What did I learn? Don't do stupid shit, don't ramp, keep the wheels on the ground. So I switched to flatland.

Finally getting some structure. After 1 year of pushups and then bying more and more equipment, adding exercises along the way

Until I had no structure. So today I just wrote down all the exercises I wanna do. Splitting them between Dedlift squats and benchpress

It was a lot easier once I wrote them all down. So today was my first training with my new schedule.

-Deadlift
-Biceps dumbbell hammer/curl
-Lats pull down and seated cable row.
-chin ups
-Ab wheel

Great feeling
