Hamas literally ran politically as MODERATES. They’ve gone full jihadist. Without democratic process to keep the structure honest no party can be trusted.

Hamas rips up pipe to make rockets, and steals construction supplies to make tunnels.
The pipe and supplies that are supposed to help Palestinians live and survive without disease.
So that Hamas can apply pressure to ISRAEL for the Palestinian conditions?
Myself and literally everyone I know want to support the Palestinians. And it’s impossible to support them while Hamas (or another jihadist organization) is there.
It’s a circle, not a line. Far left and far right end up meeting in the middle.
Lemmy only has the information that I give it.
And it demands fairly little information.
I’ll take that in exchange for nobody privately owning as much of my shit as they can get their filthy hands on.
Yeah that’s a little unhinged
OBNOXIOUS AND PROUD, BABY! 🌈
Pride as a reaction to shame is pretty unhealthy, from a mental health perspective. There are people trying to shame everyone for everything. Don’t be fat, don’t be thin, don’t be pretty, don’t be ugly. If everyone was distractingly screaming about their pride for everything they feel ashamed of the world would be obnoxious.
I think pride as a movement made sense when everything queer was a hidden subculture.
I feel like that’s past us. There are LGBT pro-hamas groups now. I think we’ve hit peak queer when there are queer activists for groups that would hang them.
Overtly stating anything about your identity is one of the dumbest and most boring things.
I don’t care how you identify. It doesn’t tell me anything about you, and it doesn’t tell me anything about the thing. And generally, it’s considered rude to talk about a person’s identity.
You’d be better off telling me something you’re interested in.

There are two kinds of people… No wait, three kinds of people that care.
people who are emotionally fragile, mentally ill, or otherwise can’t handle literally any friction of any kind in any of their interactions.
people who are excessively polite, virtue signaling, it SJWs. These people don’t care for themselves but they care SO MUCH because they think it makes to OTHER people.
people who are afraid of complaints or legal action (business, public figures, etc)
I can count on one hand the number of times identity has mattered in a human interaction I’ve had.
The amount of energy we waste of identity is fucking absurd considering the literal zero value or brings to the world.
As usual, the onion nails the satire.
It’s technically our second place and it’s bigger, newer, but needs a bit of updating.
It’s not everything we wanted and between closing costs, moving costs, the exhaustion of moving and adjusting to the move I don’t think we’re going to do it again before we’re priced out of the thing we want.
We were hedging against either a bigger market correction or a bigger price explosion. Instead we just got weird global stress and fatigue.
Arguing from empathy with no regard for facts is hopeless.
Arguing from facts with no regard for empathy is dangerous.
We need both.
I think you mean it’s old.
Before audiences had all the tropes figured out simple stories were amazing. All the contrivances we add today we only add to make bad movies seem more interesting or complicated.
It’s why perfectly executed, simple stories are still compelling. But Oklahoma! certainly isn’t one of them.
Edit: oh, and some people love the music
What? What are you even talking about?
Nobody wants racial segregation except the ignorant racists, who deserve the economic damage caused by being ignorant racists.
Forcing an ignorant racist to serve people they hate will accomplish nothing, and certainly won’t help their ignorance or racism.
Daryl Davis is pretty vocal about the way he deradicalized KKK members, I recommend looking into him. Spoiler: the secret is shared interests (music) and normal conversation, just getting to know each other.

Jim Crow laws didn’t mean that no business served black Americans. Don’t skip history class, everybody.
You can take anything and make it horrifying if you want. It’s either a slippery slope or reductio ad absurdum.
This is a photographer that wanted to decline a customer, nothing more or less.
A business should be able to decide the kind of services it provides. If I don’t want to bake a gigantic 5’ swastika cake I shouldn’t have to.
At the end of the day capitalism protects everyone against excessive descrimination - business that reject people get less money, fewer reviews, will grow slower, etc. If that business rejects your business someone else will provide it. If nobody serves a community, there’s a business opportunity waiting. Etc.
I don’t know how delusional you need to be to assume it could EVER be possible that somehow every business would just refuse to serve a population because of X characteristic.
Pharmacists are a strictly regulated profession. The whole job is filling prescriptions ordered by doctors and informing customers (patients) about the safe use of the substances. It’s not a creative process and it’s not their choice to prescribe or deny medication.
Last I checked bakers and photographers are barely regulated by comparison, and you could easily consider their work creative in nature.

You pick songs, they squeeze ads and other songs in between (IIRC) and can gather data from how you interact with all of that.
You’re understanding the value of big data.
It’s why I reject all of these services. CDs, baby!
The article sure reads like AI word salad. Unfortunately it’s just legible enough that it could just be a dumb human with a thesaurus.
The government website is way more readable.
Nothing is nonstick like Teflon … But the VAST majority of cooking doesn’t require that level of nonstick, either.
Unless you have a French omelette addiction, you probably don’t need Teflon.
