I have been and mostly enjoyed it, but what I don’t enjoy is debate and paternalistic questioning of my personal agency, so I avoid engaging on this topic.
I did not understand orgasms or realize I wasn’t having them with my partners until I finally did have one. 😂 I genuinely didn’t understand that it could feel that good until it did.
Another win for abstinence-based sex ed in rural America!
That is hilarious!
this is my cue to show them the million task lists and corresponding calendar appointments with 87 notifications each
Yes, it is cringe to take pictures of all Trump Trucks.
Idk if this is a great example of that cringe, though, because the side panel on this truck is pretty funny. I would have taken a picture myself to show family and friends.
Kinda hilarious to think about this person making these decals themself or getting someone they know with a Cricut to cut these out and apply them. I like to think a tantrum ensued when the slant started to become obvious on the side panel, especially considering how well the tailgate came out. Maybe that’s the origin story of the dent by the gas filler door? Peels off the transfer tape, screams “FUCK!!” and punches own truck? 😂
I know the utility and validity of IQ tests are highly questionable, and fash gonna fash.
But I’ve seen this posted a couple times and it keeps making me wonder - isn’t it much more likely that the causes of any negative cognitive effects the Palestinians are suffering are malnutrition, CPTSD, and disrupted education?
You are not wrong.
Ignoring for a moment the right of an occupied people to resist their oppression: “Hamas” does not include all Palestinians or all residents of Gaza. There are innocent civilians in Gaza, and collective punishment is against international law.
But back to that right: could you please point to an example of an oppressed people successfully freeing themselves non-violently?
Any thoughts on the decades of increasing oppression the Palestinian people have suffered or are you just pretending this uprising is happening in a vacuum?
What is the permissible amount of violence with which to respond to attempted genocide?
I hate to be callous
Then don’t be?
You did a truly excellent job of answering the question thoroughly! Thanks for putting in so much effort, I bet this will be really helpful. ❤️
They addressed this in the Hamas press conference - not only do they not have enough personnel to answer all the calls for help they were getting from people trapped in the rubble, but they don’t have the equipment to move the rubble, and also it keeps getting bombed so they wouldn’t even be able to do much even if they had the people and equipment.
Also, the best emojis! :party-blob:

I’m on Hexbear and I see this post, wonder if you’ll see my comment?
Me neither, but it makes sense to me that the tone of discourse would have experienced a rightward shift after the API changes.
It seems to me that the kind of people that would care enough about fairness and equity to be upset enough about the way the API changes negatively affected the unpaid volunteers curating their favorite communities to actually disrupt their own online lives and leave those communities’ platforms to go join others, establishing a presence there and abandoning previous platforms, are probably the same kind of people that care about fairness and equity in their actual real world lives.
Idk, maybe I’m naive. That’s why I left and stayed gone, though, and I doubt I’m the only one.
Idk anything about Linux forums, but as far as forums in general:
Are there really so many people to frequent forums and provide answers to people who seem to be in trouble
This is legitimately my husband’s favorite thing to do. He’s not into Linux, he’s into garden tractors and mowers, but he loves the enthusiast forums and Facebook groups he’s in and is very active.
Generally, he loves helping people who want to learn, and specifically, he is nuts about helping people learn to care for their machines and save them from the junkyard. He will spend hours on the phone and days over email helping people troubleshoot things, purely for the joy of helping.
And when he’s not helping somebody, he’s talking to other tractor nerds about how cool their tractors are and how best to take care of them! 😂🥰
So yes, there are people who like to hang around to give help, some people just really, really, really love to help.
feeling simultaneously incredibly seen and incredibly called out
how dare you
There was a minor map glitch in my neighborhood that kept directing people to my house instead of my friend’s house half a mile down the road, and it took me actual weeks of effort (persistent back and forth with them, repeatedly sending map screenshots and data from the county auditor, refusing to let my case get closed, etc) to get it corrected, which I had assumed was because it was a relatively small thing affecting a couple dozen people a year.
People fruitlessly asking them to fix a bridge out notice for 10 fucking years is horrifying.
Me too, this is one of the main things that stuck with me. Honestly, idk how to think of myself except in relation to my service to community, it has really shaped my entire experience of the world.
did you know that in addition to continuing hobbies and pastimes they did as a young person, sometimes old people fuck??
