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.

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

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! 🌈

There’s a pretty big difference between stupid declarations about things that simply aren’t true, and trying to start a conversation. I just assumed with an axiom like that there was no conversation to be had.

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.

1. people who are emotionally fragile, mentally ill, or otherwise can’t handle literally any friction of any kind in any of their interactions.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Hamas is a jihadist organization though…

If they don’t represent the majority maybe they should hold elections and let a party that represents the majority take the lead?

There’s no extermination. Quit getting your talking points from Tiktok and Twitter.

2 and 7 feels OP compared to any other combo by a mile. Definitely getting nerfed in the next patch.

Me considers moving to EU after Twitter withdrawl.

But you can oh, so easily criticize the movie without mentioning the message. Because they are awful.

An eye for an eye leaves Israel/Palestine a smoldering hole in the ground…

No, I think I got that wrong. How does it go?

How anyone develops hate for Palestinians as a result of Hamas is just beyond me.

It would be like hating all Americans because you think Trumpists is evil.

Sure, think we’re stupid or that our country is corrupt or broken or something, but you can’t blame everyone. It just makes no sense.

This is a tragedy and this guy needs to be locked up forever.

So wait, your position is that Israel is behind the Hamas attacks on Israel, in order to justify their military action against Gaza?

Do you have any evidence to support that?

More importantly people don’t want to buy into closed game environments. They promise of ongoing development attracts players that want that type of scale, and also allows devs to continue to eat. It’s a win/win.

This is the right choice by devs. I haven’t played it and honestly I probably never will, but I respect the decision.

But what if I want my kids in private school, drink bottled water, live in a rural mansion and don’t care about workers?

…I hope the /s isn’t needed…

Companies only want to shift to self checkout because they think they’ll make more money.

It’s all about profit.

I was fooled, I thought it was going to be better for me. And it was for awhile, because I can check myself out faster than the average employee.

However, the average customer sucks at checking themselves out. So the line for self checkout sucks. Stores use scales to make sure you’re scanning the right number of things, but that means that I have to put everything down on a tray, and then put it back in my cart after.

Worst of all, I check out so fast that I regularly get stopped because I guess I look like a thief. No, I didn’t steal anything, I just don’t want to waste any more of my precious time in this depressing fluorescent establishment.

I know you’re making more of a cynical joke, but no contractors are gonna be willing to go into Gaza to rebuild under Hamas.

Some construction supplies wholesaler might make a killing, though.
