One Palestinian state is the only solution.

How is a 2 state plan any different that the appeasement policy Eurpoean countries had for dealing with nazis? Even American schools talk about how bad an idea that was.

Weird. Was there a source claiming there was one?

Didn’t think to check Youtube. Ty!

Thanks!

I think they’re more regulated there, like the only flavor is tobacco, their use is prohibited in certain places, etc

Nice! I’ve been meaning to check it out too.

Any chance you could DM the link?

Is there a good site to listen to Blowback? Been meaning to check it out for some time.

Tried checking out the first season the other day and the sites I found it on had embedded ads and I couldn’t get through the first quarter of the episode before technical difficulties followed by an authentication wall, so kind of lost interest.

Kinda curious how they picked these. Not that any of these are great, but most pg-13 horror movies are so forgettable it seems the author just overlooked them.

The site literally made a subreddit years ago for bots trained on specific subreddits to interact with each other. Waaay before ChatGPT, the tech to do something like this is not new lol.

You’re probably just goofin, but maybe chill with the person just asking for reading material.

I’m also not a big fan of quizzes to figure out political stuff, but everyone starts somewhere.

What’s the deal with Stein? I periodically see that she sucks or is a grifter, but usually it’s a dem who is pissed she might “split the vote.”

From what I’ve seen of her platform she actually has many concrete, progressive goals with pretty specific carve outs for of various largely overlooked groups of people. It’s not like she’s explicitly for landback or dissolving Israel and the US, but definitely leagues better (on paper) than the dems.

All that being said, I’m voting for Claudia and Karina for an explicitly socialist platform. Ngl though, I wish the PSL vote socialist website had a long list of concrete points like the Stein website does.

An American who spent time stationed in Kenya (they never could tell me why we have a base there, go figure) told me about a group of navy seals that decided to try to put a t-shirt on a baboon once. Apparently they all ended up in the infirmary.

America isn’t sending the brightest.

Agreed, besides discussing history the other context to use the term luddite is “I’m a luddite.” They were right and if a new group emerges ready to burn down data centers and tar and feather tech oligarchs then let them have at it.

Pretty sure I stopped playing after an early boss fight.

The good stuff:

• struggling to carry too much stuff
• dropping too much stuff
• throwing containers at people
• building stuff with players you don’t have to interact with
• peeing to grow mushrooms

The bad stuff:

• story was eh
• npcs
• sudden boss fight after 10+ hours of not using any combat related controls

Enjoyed my time with it overall though. Keep meaning to come back to it and never do for whatever reason.

I also never got around to MGS 5 even though I really liked all the other metal gear games I’ve played, something about a more open world is vaguely intimidating I guess.

With the right button, you’ve got MLK and Mother Theresa taking turns to punch it.

Well yeah, “the right button” could be anything. The button could have been “push this and Jewish Israeli people can live anywhere on earth safely and perpetually at peace with their neighbors.” It doesn’t even have to be anything about Israelis, religion, the region, it’s a fucking hypothetical.

Instead, the button is “kill millions of people that inconvenience me”. It doesn’t resolve anything for the country - they’re still at odds with a large number of neighboring countries. It doesn’t completely remove their inconvenience - settlers would still need to settle the stolen and destroyed land (even if the button just evaporated humans, Gaza is effectively uninhabitable).

They just want to talk about killing an entire people on their, apparently, large platform.

Well, with any luck they’ll be stuck somewhere in England with all the Amerikkkans because both shitty societies collapse at once.

Watched that b/c it was posted here last week. Incredibly disappointed they stopped making that series, it was really getting good.

There are some lol, United 93 and Nic Cage’s World Trade Center were released in 2006.

Also, ::: spoiler spoiler Apparently this Robert Pattinson movie has a 9/11 plot point? ::: wtf?

Would that even work? Intuitively (I dont remember anything about chem) I would guess that you could take a portion of a tums to get the same effect as alkaline water, but wouldn’t be able to achieve the opposite. If you drank an enormous amount of alkaline water such that your stomach acid volume is negligible then the ph of the solution would just be the alkaline water ph, right?

I’m a habitual lurker on forums, but the few times I’ve posted/commented here have 100% been better experiences than any other site I’ve used. It’s nice to use a site that doesn’t make me feel disconnected from reality for seeing the obvious and daily indignations millions-to-billions are forced to live through just because the currently dominant economic model insists this is justthewayitis. Its really validating knowing i can trust my own eyes. The only other place I’ve been that is similar is irl organizing, which I’ve not been able to do for some time now unfortunately (and, long story short, had locally become dominated with very electoral and liberal ideas, which was incredibly disheartening).

It’s great browsing a site that can both validate these frequent observations of systemic failure while continuing to challenge my own worldview. Before browsing here and lemmygrad I had felt like an “internationalist,” but in the last few years here I’ve started realizing how big the imperial core blinders really are. I don’t necessarily know what to do with that yet, but it’s something I’m working on and probably ought to just discuss on here at some point.

Plus, I always appreciate the way federated users are treated when they cruise by to spout bs imperial core takes (usually dressed up as if they’re subversive in some way lmao).

I’m trying to post and comment more because yall seem pretty cool, I just usually don’t have much to add.
