just sayin’, russians had no qualms or juridical implications when they removed nicholas ii.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had to choose a new _lingua franca_, what language would you pick?
2·10 days agorealistically, lojban, aui, mirad or kotava.
out of fictional languages, quenya, klingon, or the language of the culture from iain m. banks’ books.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had to choose a new _lingua franca_, what language would you pick?
3·11 days agoOne of the South American variants of Spanish, probably Argentinian.
I’d agree on the sense that everything in argentine spanish can be said with thousands of curse words interspersed. ¡la puta madre que lo parió, boludo de mierda!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have a strong opinion on the death penalty?
1·13 days agoi’m not against killing per se. you can kill in self defense for example and be excused. people can kill in a war or a revolution and be excused. in a perfect world, of course, people wouldn’t have reasons to kill. i think the line is drawn if 1) someone massively kills or acts sadistically for chauvinistic reasons (i. e. for being part of a group of persons, not being of the right ethnicity or because they believe in some sort of pseudoscience, like anti-vaxers) 2) are or were in a position of power or high leadership 3) are at risk of returning to positions of power even after arrest (for example, they can be rescued from prison in a coup d’état by its supporters, or being pardoned by political shifts).
the regular serial killer such as manson or ed gein were not in real positions of power and were not at risk of returning to such positions, and could therefore be jailed forever. himmler, heydrich, eichmann, king leopold ii, mobutu, suharto, pretty much every latin american, african, european or asian dictator deserved to be judged with penalties up to the death penalty, and even some “democratic” leaders such us some british prime ministers and french presidents. not to say that i’m only restricting to right, i believe stalin, ceaucescu, enver hoxha and to some extent even mao should be defendants in processes that could lead up to death penalty.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which social media platform has done the most damage to people's mindset?
2·14 days agoThe fact that Xwitter became such an echo chamber and that people there really started to believe that they were the moral compasses of humanity made it gain the appropriate nickname, here in Brazil, of “Black (in the sense of rotten) Banana Institute”.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have a strong opinion on the death penalty?
3·15 days agoI’m all against death penalty in any form, except perhaps for some fascist leaderships. There are those who deserve to dance the Spandau ballet.
i like this answer. i like the lore, but i don’t like how people try to change and shape the world in a way that fits it.
i’ve seen things i cannot give a fully scientific explanation to why they happened, and i believe there are things that are not currently explainable by current science. however i don’t take the explanations currently given by most religious, esoteric and magick groups at face value, and more so in their vision of how a society is to be shaped.
As said, case by case situation. It’s an adult dating a minor, but sufficiently close in age to be waived, with several restrictions and close watch by all involved, especially family members.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are people in your state or country getting tired of the government finally?
1·24 days agothe thing with brazil is that lula sort of got out of the ropes when he had no alternative but to defend his own government against an attack by the fascist and the traditional right wing opposition (the so called centrão, which has got nothing of center politics). he had some boost which allowed to defeat the proposal to pardon the 2023 putschists and approve the income tax exemption for those earning less than 12,200 usd per month. we’ll see the next months, but so far he got a boost and will likely win 2026, but more out of inertia from the opposition who doesn’t really know what to do with bolsonaro jailed, than because he’s doing a really good job (it isn’t).

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who watched the show "The Big Bang Theory", what is your opinion on it?
10·1 month agoAged like a first-class bottle of milk.
no problem on that, people have the right to be attracted to other people or not. i was just insecure if i did something wrong or not.
Thanks. I’ve been working on my self-confidence and self-esteem, so as crazy as it seems this is all new to me.
