It’s a good place to post

Might be on purpose if the IDF mistakes them for a journalist

To me it evokes a mentality where other people’s appearances are only considered through the lens of how they serve the person speaking. I’m not a fan. Even where complimenting someone’s appearance is appropriate, I think it frames the compliment as “you’re not like those uggos I hate seeing”

It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.

What values?

I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.

Constitution? That shit was talking about white men only and we’re really gonna lean on it?

such a weird hill to die on

I don’t think so. With enough bourgeois interests tied up in the project, our media could create that support, but one of the biggest reasons why ordinary western anti-semites support Israel is that Israel’s existence is a prerequisite for the Rapture. Of course that’s pushed cynically at the think-tank level, but a shocking number of people whole-heartedly believe they live in the Left Behind cinematic universe

Pretty good. On one hand, the medical debt continues to mount faster than I can pay it. On the other hand, we’re still fed and housed, and I might be getting an ADHD diagnosis. Terrified of ADHD meds because of how often I feel jittery even without caffeine, but they say it might can calm me down so it seems worth a shot

There is as much to be gained going to bat for ‘cracker’ as there is in any argument over bigotry being symmetrically applicable to both the oppressor and the oppressed. In a framework of white supremacism, which has been imposed onto the world by western cultural hegemony, all peoples are to be racially denigrated in favor of the “white race.” This can be done by white or non-white people, but it can only be done to non-white people. One can be prejudiced against white people and can call them names, and that is a direct result of this system of racism, but it isn’t a part of it

This concept is important for understanding any dynamic of oppression. Anti-white racism isn’t possible because it’s predicted on ‘white’ being anything other than the identity construct created solely to “be supreme.” Misandry isn’t possible under patriarchy because its concept of manhood is the same type of construct. Classist bigotry can not be applied against the ruling class for the same reason, ‘cissie’ can not be a slur, and so on

Every fucking time

The 35-44s are alright

You have to subvert the genre to make something that isn’t ghoulish. In the same vein, I’d say Murderville is alright because the “true crime” in question is a negligent or deliberate wrongful conviction rather than the murder they’re convicted of

Pretty much. It implies that there’s military symmetry by calling it a war, and that Hamas are Israel’s main target

Since Hamas are presented as thoughtless terrorists who just hate freedom and love cruelty, this focus frames Israel’s role in the ‘war’ as counter-terrorism. Plenty of groundwork was already laid to justify Western countries in committing endless massacres in the name of counter-terrorism, which Israel gets to use and expand. Meanwhile whenever it’s pointed out that Hamas is the legitimate government of Gaza, instead of calling their ‘terrorist’ label into question, it extends the label to all Gazans

Probably so. I’d assume that tech companies would want an opportunity to scan your saved pictures for ad-profile data, but also I’m surprised that a different OCR feature works locally and near-instantly

Specifically, my phone running Android 14 has a ‘Select’ feature that you can activate when switching between active apps, and so far it’s been able to copy optically from any app that doesn’t privacy-block its contents from appearing in the app switcher
