Everything MY preferred group does? It actually has an unlimited amount of context and you have to sympathize with it no matter what. The other side? Actually they're orcs.

What if I told you only one religious text blames Jews for the death of their savior…

The vast majority of Muslims I’ve ever met have no difficulty with this distinction whatsoever. It is typically Christians and specifically western Christians who cannot distinguish. In the Muslim world, modern Israel is a political entity very distinct from Bani Israel.

Seems wild that the dominant political/economic philosophy of the era has been quite ruthlessly enforced my entire life, and that pushback against this collapsing, cratering system has in recent years has been met with for real 1950s style all-media McCarthyism by press and government, hand in hand

Prices are up 30 cents since this post and the nearby liquor store has taken down its decade-old Trump Wine display this shit is so monumentally over.

gas sign from fallout tactics, which is before the really intense push to Fallout Bible-proof the lore of the series & also before Bethesda smeared Todd Howard's shit all over it. so it just depicts prices for actual ass gasoline and not nuclear reactor coolant or vertibird credits or whatever. the joke is that they're in the four figures. If you want diesel go fuck yourself ig

Like, I get that Keir Starmer would get in trouble for going on TV and saying β€œWe must punish these disgusting villains”, but you are not Keir Starmer. You are free to say what it is, what you can see it is every day.

β€œEveryone is frightened of retaliation by the murderous criminals” may be a half-understandable reason for our governments to not say aloud that these men are criminals, but I see no reason why any free citizen shouldn’t say it.

Why is the US attacking Venezuela, kidnapping its head of state? Why is it trying to starve the people of Cuba, what is it playing at in Ecuador, why is it enabling a genocide in the Gaza Strip? Why is its president trying to extort the world? Because it is governed by criminals.

Everyone saw this clearly when Russia invaded Ukraine and said, this is a criminal act. This shit is not better, it is the same thing.

I suggest all americans who think living under an evil regime justifies being killed even when you're innocent immediately take action upon themselves that is in accordance with their beliefs

Every single person in history who apes for a regime goes through this thought process: they, the submissive brute, love us and our domineering but just benevolent enough way. That other regime though? Too domineering.

The government of Israel shot a six year old girl and the paramedics who turned up to rescue her. It is simply not true that the only alternative to theocracy is murderous ethnic cleansing.

you do not in fact have to take the side of israel in their war of choice against iran which has thus far involved blowing up fmr and current civilian officials, public infrastructure, schools, and hospitals because they have a better track record on gay rights than iran

on that last point: *the reason we have formal language and notation for things* is so people could more precisely specify what they meant in a certain context

Beethoven *invented new kinds of musical notation* to make sure people understood precisely how he wanted his music to be played

The Israeli regime is fascist and genocidal. The population supports the regime's actions at more than 80% in most polls. You don't have to argue with people online when these are facts.

I routinely have people ask me for nonsense. Stuff that doesn't exist, impossible things, things that are real but irrelevant, something they saw at the airport. You can't just tell people to fuck off but you really do have to learn how to guide them back to earth.

Part of the skill of being an engineer is being able to pull people away from their fixations and ask things like "what are you actually hoping to achieve with this once I've built it for you?"

(They often don't know this either TBF but it's at least a start.)

Clients and senior management are quite often bozos who don't know what they want. Them being able to tell you in exact detail what they think they want is very bad because it stops you giving them what they need.

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm
