I’m Jewish, I’m very aware that the side running brutal racist internment camps was meaningfully less bad than the side running brutal genocidal death camps. Neither qualify as good.
Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

Sure, there are no good guys in any war, since the good guys are never the ones with guns killing each other.
But the more genocidal death camps you have, the bigger a baddy you are. It’s not that difficult to understand.
White House has absolutely zero control over an immediate and permanent cease fire, or lifting the Gaza blockade, that’s all on Israel
The white house has plenty of influence over israel, they’ve just chosen to green light the genocide and netanyahu’s regional escalation against the advice of our own experts.
An arms embargo would empower anti-netanyahu voices in israel who could point to his mismanaging of israel’s most important bilateral. It would reduce the rate and kind of weapons the idf could bring to bear against civilians, saving lives.
You know that feeling you get when you look into your dog’s eyes? The same parts of your dog’s brain became active, so they’re probably feeling similar emotions at that moment.
Larger platform changes such as ranking content based on quality, rather than engagement, might hit at the root of the problem
Wait, we shouldn’t just let people create intentionally divisive outrage machines?
Some people love to dry hump strangers on a crowded bus or train, is that more like it?
I have to admit I don’t understand what connection this has with paying for music apps.
I’m pretty sure if you’re paying for it, that’s not love.
Didnt we already know that elon opened starlink to the russians? I thought he announced after that call with putin?
Y’all … You guys … you’re
Let’s ignore the question of what you think moralizing is if you saw it in the eight words you replied to. What I’m curious about is, do you think you’re talking to Hezbollah? On Lemmy?
part of God’s plan
Netanhayu’s not god, he’s just a brutal lying tyrant with no respect for human life - so I can see how you’d get confused.
My understanding is that a lot of the big agribusiness is structured as a monopsony - all the people farming a particular crop have only one big Ag company they all have to sell their produce to and that company sets the price low enough that the farmers doing the actual growing for Big Ag are still getting screwed.
Exactly. That’s a service that some rich people could be making profit on and here we are just giving it away for the collective good of our society. Won’t someone think of (financially screwing over) the farmers?
Yep! In my experience it’s awful and it stays awful for ever.
But just like with going to work, over time you come to accept that existence is suffering.
“Chinese” mummies is a bit misleading. The Tarim Basin has a long history of Chinese rule/influence, but not that far back.
These mummies are from a unique population that descended largely from Ancient North Eurasians, a group who contributed smaller percentages of ancestry to Northern Chinese people, Europeans, Siberians and Native Americans.
So these cheese enthusiasts are less Chinese and more like distant foreign relatives to the Chinese who adopted dairy-heavy pastoralism after it expanded through the steppe.
The funny thing is that actual chinese snake oil was incredibly effective at alleviating things like joint pain or some skin conditions. It has higher concentrations of omega 3s than fish oil and has even been shown to help mice learn mazes faster.
That’s why grifters selling fake medicine all claimed it was snake oil - people already wanted snake oil because they knew it worked.
Exactly. So many peoplev still trying to analyze what the Democrats did wrong in an election they won 🙄.
Personal trainers. Watching other people exercise is not a job.
You may as well be a corporate tax accountant, a ghost writer for the rich or an email scammer in terms of the value you create for society.
Republicans accuse their opponents of eating pets and drinking the blood of children while they themselves conduct actual human sacrifices when their king faces an uncertainty battle.
Graham Hancock is a racist grifter who definitely knows he’s full of shit, is that what you mean?
I don’t think it’s fair to characterize global colonialist powers like Britain, France, or the US as not violent expansionists.
