Cities that have studied it believe on-demand car service is necessary (but often much more expensive) to reaching 100% transit coverage. But they also said you could reach like 95% with just busses.

I think a better comparison is the Berlin Wall. Palestinians have blue and green pass cards that dictate where they can go. Or even a Separate But Equal, ala American segregation. I mean Palestinians are limited to certain hospitals, denied utilities and free travel. They drive on separate roads, walled off from the Israeli roads.

... But then thats just the ones outside Gaza. Gazans can't leave and spend their days in abhorrent poverty, now while dodging bombs.

I have no problem with Tankie takes on Israel. They see this side clearly. My problem is when your favorite youtubers and twitter lefties are saying "Hamas is good actually, and Israeli Settlers deserve it" like for fucks sake. Tankies call for violence more than they call for leftist solutions.

Holy shit post within a post. Slow down. You could milk this into like weeks of posts.

Cats have taught me that just letting things bite me is often fine. This attitude allows me to free my mind for more important things.

NOOOOOOOO DONT DO THIS NOOOOO

Most of the creators I liked are on Twitch now or have quit. A very small amount made the pivot to Patreon. Nebula creators are often very successful youtubers who are smart enough to make a new business, though some are academics who don't do so well on youtube. I use youtube music too! And pay for it... And I'm invested, I want alternatives. I was about ready to download all of my YouTube music stuff and go hop onto band camp, despite that it would be many times more expensive. I just wanna be treated right.

Conservation of matter, the light just moves.

I'm talking about light, here. Light.

The light is forever. The darkness is just for a moment.

Love how there's only one 'Lifestyle Choice' available for billions of people on God's Green Earth: Work or Die.

Do they make zerk off crystals but for girls? Zilly crystals? I dunno anygirly wanna be a broad and recharge our girl powers together?

Ive been zerking it with my buds to get the sweet power from my white crystal for years, the fact you're hearing about it now males you one of the lucky ones.

Never forget that youtube filters us towards those creators, too. New creators saying a new message? They aren't gonna get any attention. Youtube de-prioritized LGBT and BIPOC content tags for years.

I have literally seen 2 creators ever bring up youtube red, saying that yes subscribers do make up a more significant percentage of their revenue and did help a little bit when videos got demonetized. Every creator is saying some sort of the "I don't want all my eggs in one basket, I can't trust these platforms" argument.

Well the creators I like don't see it as a good relationship. They keep leaving for Twitch, Patreon, Nebula, or quitting on content creation. If I'm a fan of them, I need to listen to their concerns about how YouTube is constantly threatening their livelihood.

The time for YouTube to ask for more money was before they made hundreds of unpopular decisions and drove away literally hundreds of creators that I liked.

Alright fine, I'll be a Luddite now. Every time we 'upgrade' or 'make progress' it is really about controling the working class and circumventing a previous business model. Capital pays more and more for the inputs: fuel and technology, in order to justify their control. And then once they have it, they use progress to justify poor labor protections. They never use the predicted best solution, or even a compromise, they use the solution that offers them more power.

Joe biden has claimed this more or less himself, saying he's a Zionist at heart, though his actions have started to be a little bit more moderate on the issue of Palestinian genocide.

Israel has a storied history now of killing journalists, here is the most famous example:
