Canadian here. I believe in reconciliation with the indigenous population, but I've yet to see anything but words from provincial and federal governments

Lukashenko.
Segal has been cozying up pretty hard to the eastern Europe dictators. Like little spoon cozy. A belaspoo if you will

It's always the quintessential Redditor that complains about the fediverse.

This place is so much more positive than Reddit. Maybe you'd notice your mood improve a bit if you tried to participate in a positive way.

It's an account with a lot of bad jokes with some gems dropped in.

Definitely one based in reality with a good fun teacher.

To piggy back a bit, I can block people from kbin, so I've thought about this a bit.

What if you are in an instance that has users with great memes. Someone csam person joins and you just block that person. Maybe you're a little proactive and go through comments and block any supporter that's supportive of the csam.
A month or two goes by, the memes are still good, but you talk with someone from another instance and it turns out you're on a csam instance. You had no idea because you blocked all the csam content.

Those territories are so small that a dmz might just be the entire area....

Yeah, should have said 'noticed' rather than 'watched'

My entire life I've watched girls get breasts at a younger and younger age....

Coercive behavior doesn't quite work though.
Yours is better than either of the ones posted, but I do think the physical force aspect is important to differentiate from other aspects.

I was going to attempt to make a point about how stopping terrorism that isn't explicitly violent with violence isn't the same thing.

Starving a population isn't violence, but it is terrorism. Attempting to give that population food and being stopped by the state by legal means is terrorism.

The state is going to define things in specific ways to ensure that they're considered correct.

I had written out a response to the person I replied to and then didn't post after reading some of their other comments. They're probably just a troll, or one of those people that's legitimately kind of smart but hasn't been around people that are incredibly smart, so hasn't had a reason to adjust their opinions about things because they might be shallowly correct but are fundamentally wrong. Like Newton's laws.

Violence is a key word in that definition.

Violence: Behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury.

So, starving a group of people isn't terrorism because you're not exerting physical force.

Not easily stopping a fire when you know it's going to spread towards an occupied house isn't violence because you're not exerting physical force.

Poisoning drinking water isn't violence because you're not exerting physical force.

Real question: what do you call those things? It can't be defined as terrorism. What is it?
