If someone does something psychotic a lot, does that make it ethical for someone-else to do it even once?

When I did a search for "what happens after death" with double quotes at google.com and at google.co.in, the 1st 2 sentences at the top of the page was a quote from an article at Psychology Today mentioning the superstitious idea of heaven:

"Key points. A common view is that after death, the soul ascends to heaven."

I like silly puns, but wouldn't say it to someone like a waiter who's time I might be wasting and who may feel the need to pretend to like the joke because they need tips.

It's possible the waiter might enjoy it, since it's a job that attracts extraverts, but I couldn't be sure because in some places they're supposed to kiss even the asshole customers' asses. Same reason I ask friends not to flirt with servers - because they're usually not allowed to tell the flirter to stop, and some depend on tips.

84% of Pakistanis wanted Sharia to be the law of the land, and of those 76% wanted the death penalty for anyone who leaves Islam (Pew 2013).

It's a death cult.

  1. Vote for parties making Norway the 4th biggest exporter of natural gas, and 8th biggest exporter of oil - because causing a mass extinction and killing billions of people via anthropogenic climate change is worth it for the petrodollars.

[Thanks morgunkorn for replying to show where it is: on our Profile pages, 4 lines beneath our usernames.]

How can I find a list of the Lemmy posts I've saved in my browser?

Saving posts are done by clicking on the star icon. Once saved the icon becomes orange.

Can't find them on my Profile page, or via the Search page, and searches seem to only answer it for apps.

 

Edit: copying the font to /usr/local/share/fonts/ fixed it. (I downloaded Debian Xfce a while ago because of how much I dislike Snap, so I'll soon replace Xubuntu with it.)

I recently installed the font “Atkinson Hyperlegible” on Xubuntu 22.04.3 (via right click, Fonts 41.0), and I use it as the Xfce UI font and the default in Mousepad and LibreOffice without any problems.

However in Firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit), Snap for Ubuntu, canonical-002 - 1.0; it’s not listed at Edit, Settings, Fonts; or Fonts, Advanced…

When I view an HTML page where the CSS’ body has font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible",sans-serif; it also doesn’t use the Atkinson font. That page also doesn’t use Atkinson in the (Epiphany GNOME) Web 45.1 browser.

Any ideas on how to get Firefox and Epiphany to see it?

 

Jeffrey Kaplan's lecture helped me better understand international relations, war, authoritarians, capitalists, etc. (reading guide (PDF)).

 

Did the Staten-Generaal supervise the Heeren XVII, was it the other way round, were they usually the same people, or did it not work like that?
