Skill issue

Oh, damn. Why do assholes gotta ruin everything?

I’ve seen Nim before. It looks interesting, and I like the promise of a no-nonsense, performant language. I’m comfortable over here in dotnet land though. 😄

It’s not rare. There are just a lot of loud, terminally online people on Lemmy.

While that is all correct, I think it’s worth keeping in mind that a lot of the air pollution and noise is from tires.

Passwords shouldn’t be stored at all though 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think it’s misleading. Distinguishing between famines caused solely by external factors, and famines caused in part or in whole by policy, seems entirely reasonable. I was responding to your assertion that someone might misunderstand the meaning of “man-made”.

The biases of Wikipedia reflect the biases of its editors (there are Wikipedia articles about that). It could be a great tool for radicalization, but I suppose it’s easier to just complain about it.

why call it man-made then? sure you can argue that man-made doesn’t mean ‘deliberate’ but thats not how most people would interpret it. ‘famine’ is the clear neutral term.

If you only read the first paragraph and ignore the rest of the article you deserve to not understand anything.

where is mention of ‘man-made’ in Bengal Famine?

Feel free to add it. I’ll support the change

The article on Evolution has an entire section about the controversy, with links to dedicated articles about it.

It’s man-made because the severity of the famine was undeniably affected by policy. I don’t think there’s anything biased about that. What it means, and the extent to which it was deliberate, if at all, should be expanded upon in the article proper.

The usage of “Holodomor” is so common that it’s perfectly reasonable for an encyclopedia to use it. It’s the article title most people are going to be looking for, after all. But it’s worth noting that the very first section (etymology) has a paragraph about how Holodomor is different from the Holocaust due to no evidence of intentional extermination.

Please stop forcing me to defend Wikipedia. 🥺

Btw,

Holodomor:

The Holodomor,[a] also known as the Great Ukrainian Famine,[b] was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. The Holodomor was part of the wider Soviet famine of 1930–1933 which affected the major grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union.

Holocaust:

The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland.

The opening paragraphs from the respective articles.

Spot the difference.

There has been research along those lines. If you give someone twice the starting money in Monopoly, they’ll still say they won due to skill.

Humans are ridiculous.

Well, you’d be wrong. Pedophilia is well studied. It’s attraction to children, and there’s a huge amount of variation in how that is expressed and how the psychology around it develops through a person’s life. Baselessly claiming that all people with pedophilia are just rapists who want easy prey is unhelpful nonsense.

Is it seriously your contention that effective firefighting can’t exist without a state?
