You were given a great answer but to put it even more bluntly, just because someone owns one slave it doesn’t make it any better than someone owning a whole plantation of slaves. It’s horrible either way, I don’t care if you have more time to take better care of your slave because it’s your only one; you still own a fucking slave

As opposed to the people who merely own one family of serfs?

just in time to dodge “I hate my life”

You either skibidi or you skibidont.

You’ll be downvoted but people would do well to reflect on why. This is a large part of why white men didn’t vote, it’s why the “she’s for they/them he’s for you” was massively successful. I know in a just world we’d all be on the same page with this. But we’re not. You’re going to have to roll with this guy not wanting to be called cis if you want an ally and not an enemy.

You’re not wrong in general, I should clarify. This family is of the affluent, fence-sitting variety conservative. They couldn’t be assed to do anything because it hadn’t hit them yet. This did. This is someone who will genuinely be turned imo.

Quick edit here, I just got done talking with them. They told me what finally pushed them over was talking to a friend of theirs whose kid has autism. Their kid hadn’t been able to sleep at night with all this shit going on. Apparently that really got to them. So - my takeaway here is, keep the dialogue open. If you have a story to tell, keep sharing it. You never know who it will reach.

Musk saying the words “social security” might have been the best thing that could have happened tbh. A conservative family member of mine was at an Indivisible meeting today - I think the republicans might be in for a bit of a shit show, if you can believe it

Hoo boy do I envy you. So, upon opening up its trade ports to the Dutch, Japan not only ushered in a cultural revolution, but a culinary one. Many new styles of foods and flavors were introduced. Some people didn’t like this though. They thought they should just stick to native fruits and vegetables, not these foreign bananas (ばな literally “wood foot food”) the Dutch typically brought with them. So, preparing for their own future imperialist ambitions, Japan invented coded language using food to refer to their future rivals. When the Americans caught yellow fever during WW2, they imported many of these same racist jokes. They still carry on this tradition today - you can find out more at the historical resource lemonparty.org

Polish jokes are a reflection of imperialist propaganda, imported and spread through American xenophobia. This is funny, I just also like history

People showing exactly where they draw the class line in here lmao

Yeah but that dude made a career killing Nazis and mic dropping his presidency with warnings about the Military Industrial Complex. That Republican Party died with Reagan.

What to do? I don’t know, what the rest of us are doing, figuring it out. They’re the smart ones, right? Yep, Einstein sure did make the right choice. Let’s think this through then. Who are the people actively being persecuted like Einstein? It’s not a hard guess: Palestinians, their supporters, anyone from the global south, or anyone with brown skin. Don’t worry, they’re actively deporting these people. They’re not trying to run, they’re just keeping their heads down trying to survive. Because your country doesn’t want any of us unskilled workers either. The vast, vast majority of people trying to get out are not going to be listed above. And if they are? I don’t blame them, get out. But to compare Einstein to people with degrees leaving because they’re afraid like the rest of us is absurd to the point of being offensive.

GIMP needs a glow up. It looks like what it is, but for a program looking for artists and designers to switch - you’re not going to get it by looking like the Temu photoshop.

Tysm for your information, I will look over these and follow up 👍

I appreciate the gentle correction re: your original comment, I definitely just glossed that. My bad.

If you could maybe find a credible source - but regardless this woman was disabled in rehab, the syndrome described in the article is not linked to ketamine use in any credible way

Source?
