“That is why I ordered the return of US military planes carrying Colombian migrants,” Petro wrote, sharing a video of Brazilian deportees who had been flown out of the US on Friday, shackled at the wrists and ankles.

He seems to imply the Colombian migrants were treated similarly, worth taking issue over IMO.

OP, the title youve given is misleading and different from the article. He does not say he will refuse these flights, only that he will refuse flights where peolple are treated inhumanely.

I cannot force migrants to remain in a country that does not want them. But if that country returns them, it must be with dignity and respect – for both them and our nation. In civilian planes, and without treating them like criminals, we will welcome our compatriots.

Being concious of and being able to critically look at what we are and how we act would be one answer. Sort of like what you did when you made this post :P

The cat outside isnt arguing about ethics, doesnt think about the consequences and decide not to act on some base desire, etc

We may be animals but we sure arent animals.

On bad days I tell him that too.

But I wont lie it gets tiring. The weird stares when I hold him up to my ear, the hydration kit and having to ritually droplet sea-water when I hear a raspy "Hey dude Im getting dry down here."

I guess I should've known before before taking my roommate's word for a guy he knew after I lost my Casio.

I'm pretty sure youre wrong to think people from the West on Lemmy support Israel. No one on here seems to 😅

Author-activist Cory Doctorow does a daily thread on Mastodon (on stuff like tech policy) but because each post doesn't have much text the threads get long. He also posts it on his blog, but I think Brewchin finds the thread annoying. His account: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic

Its a reference to this meme template by the way: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trade-offer

 

I haven't really been able to find much on this. I recognize the totem-pole and what that's for. Would love help understanding:

  • What's the triangle?
  • What's the rectangle immediately after?
  • Why are there two outputs instead of one? A lecture I watched claimed this is common.

I'm not said student, found this /r/Mastodon. Sharing here since I think it would be good supporting research on this. Shortened description from the info page:

This project is part of a Master Thesis that aims to explore the factors that influence user activity on Mastodon and their role in sustaining decentralized networks. ... Ultimately, this research seeks to contribute to the future development of decentralized social networks by identifying key factors that support user activity, offering valuable insights for administrators and moderators in maintaining active and sustainable communities.
