Then run in local elections and fight for ranked choice voting instead of only running sybolic national campaigns that only serve to spoil the left-leaning vote…

Easy. Hamas isn’t the resistance.

Yeah, with that many users you need like $30/month on AWS…

The guy who set it up probably quit, and nobody knows how it works now.

There is a two-way misinformation issue right now that really complicates things. If you legitimately criticize Zionism, the pro-Israel side accuses you of antisemitism, which is bullshit. However, actual antisemites are using the word “Zionist” as a proxy term for “Jew”, and exploiting he current climate against Israel to spread classical antisemitic narratives. The result is a mix of honest “Zionism motivates human rights abuse against Palestinians” statements, and dishonest “Zionists control the world” statements.

When Jews and their allies attempt to counter antisemitism masquerading as anti-Zionism, their legitimate criticisms are treated like pro-Israel gaslighting. One of the most egregious examples of this happened in Seattle, where the Wing Luke Museum hosted a “Confronting Hate Together” exhibit featuring contributions from different ethnic communities in the city.

They kicked the Jewish group out because they said "Today, antisemitism is often disguised as anti-Zionism,” and said “pro-Palestinian groups have voiced support for Hamas” (both issues that affect the non-Zionist Jewish community, and that I have personally witnessed).

Worse yet, the museum defended their decision saying that the Jewish group conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism and excluded Palestinian, Arab and Muslim perspectives. The thing is, they didn’t say all anti-Zionism was antisemitism, they said that antisemitism can be disguised as anti-Zionism. That’s true. And why would the Jewish group be obligated to include Arab and Muslim perspectives? Why are they required to answer for this conflict in this way just for being Jewish? Were there no Arab and Muslim groups invited to participate in this exhibit?

The Jewish group did their own exhibit somewhere else (so much for confronting hate together), and the Wing Luke Museum director resigned.

If folks would actually learn what Zionism is and criticize it with clarity, this kind of thing wouldn’t be an issue. Increasingly, the people using “Zionist” as a pejorative are just using it as a blanket term for “Jews I disagree with”, and that is really fucking shitty.

It’s also a message to others. If you get caught committing large scale fraud, you can avoid life-ruining consequences if you throw all of your co-conspirators under the bus.

Giving her a 25 year sentence like they did SBF sends the opposite message.

Because the war criminals committing genocide are foreign leaders who exist outside of U.S. legal jurisdiction, that can only prosecuted by waging war against their respective countries and capturing them. In the case of Israel, which I assume you’re referencing here, this is a non-starter.

SBF and Ellison are U.S. citizens living within U.S. borders who can be arrested and brought into state custody quite easily when they break U.S. laws.

It seems unfair at face value, but the alternative is just “America: World Police”, and that’s why we can only arrest people and charge them with crimes inside our sovereign borders and on the battlefield.

. Having proof Trump is a pedo obviously helps Democrats

I love this kind of delusional statement.

“Researchers spent tens of billions of dollars, and put decades into research, and now that there is breakthrough progress in applied machine learning, but we should bury all knowledge of it and abandon the entire sector because of vibes.”

Scepticism of AI businesses and hype is perfectly understandable, but you’re not putting this cat back in the bag…

A standard jar of JIF is only 3/4 Lb. 1-2Lb/week is 2-3 jars a week. There’s no way you didn’t suspect that this was unhealthy…

If it’s your main source of protein.

A 200Lb adult needs a minimum of 140g of protein daily to remain healthy.

A single serving of peanut butter has 190 Calories, and only 7g of protein.

If that 200Lb adult was getting just half of their protein from peanut butter, they would be consuming 1,900 calories in the process. Even if they are active enough to justify that caloric intake, they would still be consuming 160g of fat, which is double the daily recommended amount. It’s the nutritional equivalent of drinking a 2/3 cup portion of cooking oil every day.

Tl;Dr: Do not make peanut butter your main source of protein.

I didn’t realize that too much peanut butter could be dangerous, but I also am confident that I am eating significantly less than 5,300 calories per week in peanut butter / peanuts. If you’re churning through 2-3 standard jars of peanut butter a week, that’s just absurd.

I’ve owned one of those. It’s a piece of shit.

Look, if Excel is the last mile and everyone is properly plugged into a corporate database to pull numbers, then great.

But way too many companies manage everything from a network share full of xlsx files…

it blows my mind how one person can do it.

One person can’t do it. When you’re making FOSS you’re standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the code that makes up this app wasn’t coded by the developer of this app. Also, there are multiple people committing code to this repository, so it literally isn’t just one guy developing this app specifically.

Look, I enjoy these comics, but OP is clearly looking for philosophical literature not loosely-coherent lore-driven webcomics…

I’m gonna assume you’re just a really sad person who hates everyone, and this comment is off-topic, because there’s no way you’re in the Piracy community complaining about a Nintendo leak.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

It depends on context. If someone says “a creep complimented my hair”, I’ll take their word on it. No need to be an ass and say “Well, if they were only complimenting your hair…”

Sorry, it’s never “only” a compliment. Women know when men are being creeps. Even the most vanilla compliment can be deeply inappropriate.

“Your hair looks great today”, he told her:

• as soon as her boyfriend steps away
• as she’s leaving the ladies room
• while backing her into a corner
• whispering into her ear from behind
• while attempting to touch her hair
• while staring directly at her breasts

I don’t wanna hear “but he only said” arguments coming from anyone who didn’t see how the creep said it.

The whole “it was just a compliment” crowd is wrong

Yep.

But if someone’s literally just saying something like “your hair looks great”…

Huh, thought you were just explaining that you were better than this. Oh well…

Found the creep.
