That’s okay. The Earth 300 will come online any day now:

The organization aims to launch the vessel in 2025

So in less than three weeks they’ll move out of their drab office buildings into a sick globetrotting superyacht

Unfortunately probably the right answer.

Would not say that necessarily. Their employees do have a fair amount of influence in the community, despite vocal protests. Also it might be Anduril I don’t remember which evil Tolkien-themed weapons company it is.

Mostly the distro doesn’t make nearly as much difference to your experience as what desktop environment you are using. The package manager is the biggest difference. If you like a distro just stick with it. Maybe if you refresh your computer choose a different one for kicks. Or if you’re very technically inclined check out NixOS or something else weird like that.

don’t ask questions just vote in election and get excited for next elections

People have compartmentalized the shit out of this and the compartmentalization is entirely sustained by an unstated irrational shared agreement to uphold it. Anyway, if you broach this topic in a way you want to be effective I think it can’t be in a serious way. It has to be in a making-fun way. You don’t want to directly accuse someone of being a hypocrite, and anyway if it’s another westerner we are all hypocritical for caring about literally anything good in the world while murdering everyone who even thinks of not doing slave labor for our treats. However, many people are ignorant of that while not really being ignorant of the cute/food animal compartmentalization. Thus you can poke fun without leaning too hard into the moral superiority from lack of hypocrisy thing. A lot of food animals really are cute and people will empathize with you finding them cute and thus not wanting to kill them.

do ya think he paid extra for those holes in his pants /boomer

You are a vile genocide apologist.

The funniest part is that he did not in fact turn out to be worse on this 1 issue lmao. However low you make the bar your dems will be unable to clear it.

This was a very good article, thank you for posting it. The chapos tend to emphasize similar in twitter posts, the opportunistic conflation of the israeli flag with the star of david and vice-versa. Jewish (specifically) supremacy is a force in contemporary politics. It is an interesting question whether it is meaningfully distinct from white supremacy. Early in 2024 I think the general line/understanding was that Zionism is a white supremacist ideology, but as time went on I saw some people separating them. Certainly not all israelis would pass as white in an American context, although white-passing israelis are apparently afforded more privileges in the ethnostate. Saying you oppose white supremacy will get you nods in left-wing spaces, as will saying you oppose Hindu supremacy. Saying you oppose Jewish supremacy will definitely get you asked some follow-up questions. This is basically fine in Western left spaces I think, given the history of fascism and neo-nazis’ obsession with “naming the Jew” as their enemy. But as the article illustrates, Palestinian people should not be checked & policed in the same way.

I read it as mostly him taking aim at other new media creatures who think very highly of themselves. There definitely also are people I know who listen to podcasts (which never cover anything beyond 101 level) and never read anything.

you will prepare a dish to take to your judo gym’s ugly sweater christmas party and you will like it

no the made the ship design woke now, they aren’t even podracers anymore

Teaching is a difficult job but realistically most teachers are also not that educated in the sense of having a broad grasp of the facts of the world. Recently I was at a local basketball game and during halftime they got some local teachers & students to come on for a fun teachers vs. students quiz. The idea was that they would let the teachers pull ahead with basic science questions but then the students would win by being asked about Tik Tok trends. Except the teachers absolutely ate shit on the basic science questions, it was a bit embarrassing.

nooooo the president can’t unilaterally go to war nooooo they need the permission of congress, obviously we would say yes because $IMPERIAL_ENEMY_OF_THE_WEEK is evil, but you need permissiooooooon

At least under the Peter Singer style formulation of human respect for animal welfare, not eating meat is predicated on our actual capability of doing so without endangering or greatly burdening ourselves (same as with our obligation to be charitable outlined in Famine, Affluence, and Morality). This is why “would you eat meat on a desert island”-style questions can be easily answered “yes” without undermining our own values. For the tremendous majority of people, they indeed would not be endangered or greatly burdened by not eating meat. However, you find yourself in a place where that is no longer true. I think we have all met someone for whom their veganism is a cover for an eating disorder. I am not going to allege that is true of you, but I will gently suggest that you follow your psych’s guidance as they are a professional who is best acquainted with your situation and who wants to help you. When you find yourself on stable ground again, you can return to not eating meat. The important thing here is that you eat now without guilt.

Fuck the ADL. Glad to see its slide into irrelevance. There are a lot of orgs trying to beat the same zionist drum, your VAR is zero.

one time I went to an afternoon work training/presentation organized by PMs where we watched a video called “measuring what matters” which was the most unbelievably vapid business shit you’ve ever heard of in your life. At the end a PM was like “and we will send you a summary email including a link to this video if you want to watch it again!” and I looked him right in the eye from the audience and shook my head; his face actually fell

There is no reason to think sleep is important. You could just as easily say I become a different person between one thought and the next.

To some degree, although I think the physical continuity matters.
