they're just cliques fam, find the good people already in your circle and hold them close. rubbing elbows and trying to fit in with various "queer" groups and orgs as a baby tran was awful for my mental health, you just become a stepping stone for some more privileged person's clout-building.

when the disagreement is about whether we should be allowed continue existing it's a bit much to handwave like that, and fuck you very much for deigning to not only frame it like that but 'splain it to us like we're children. get bent.

the US military uses a personal cooling vest that was invented by a furry to keep cool in his fursuit

SCOTUS knows that Haley polls better against Biden than Trump does. It's in the interest of their owners that they block him from running.

Is that what's happening here though? I don't have any context for this and there's no obvious tell (that I could find) that the business is Jewish-owned and that it wasn't put up by the owner, just looks like a small business taking an anti-genocide stance to me.

If the context is what you're saying though, that's fucked. Jews deserve blame for the actions of the extremists running the Israeli state the way Christians deserve blame for the actions of MAGA - these fascist groups don't represent the religion or the people they're just wearing it as a hat.

EDIT: To the reader: I should have read farther, another reply chain provides context that

1. this is in fact a Jewish-owned business, and
2. this specific Jewish-owned business has expressed a pro-Palestine stance on its Facebook account (specifically, its pfp is a palestine flag overlaid with a raised fist encircled by the words "Free Palestine End The Occupation").

It seems very unlikely that this is a targeted act of hate, and PerogiBoi should be ashamed of themself for inventing a narrative out of whole cloth based on one factual detail and then proceeding to decry everyone else as "reactionary".

I'm sorry you were taught words wrong.

"credibility" gtfo that's hilarious.

hey guys you need credibility to be a random jackoff on a forum with an opinion now.

This is how I'm learning there's an emulator for Switch games.

Funny thing is Switch was the first Nintendo device I'd even considered buying since GBC, but now that I know I can use my own hardware instead of paying through the nose for a locked-down Pi with a tiny screen and a shitty doll-size controller I'll probably go that route instead. If I decide their branded shovelware is even worth playing in 2024 that is.

ITT people who think all coffee is like the Z-tier roasted-until-burnt held-until-stale blasphemy they serve at Starbucks.

ITT people who think all tea is the result of oversteeping a lipton bag in a cup in the microwave.

ITT people who think any random plant plus hot water is "tea" but are oddly specific about what is "coffee".

Tea is also not chunks of dried fruit and random herbs, it's a specific plant.

No. Only tea is tea. If there's no actual tea leaves in it then it's an infusion. Not goddamn tea. You may as well soak orange peels in hot water and call it "orange coffee", it makes zero sense.

"paying people who create value for your company is too complicated to worry about" is a weird justification

even in the deepest depths of my "bitter newly-deconverted atheist" phase i always found the bible and its history downright fascinating. mainline christians and critical atheists alike sell it so short.

the internet is just stuff on various computers, most of which are privately owned - imagine someone complaining that their free speech rights override your right to control your property, because you took down a note stuck to your door. "dystopic tool for social control" dude go meet your neighbors and make some connections that matter instead of worrying about forcing yourself onto as many strangers' screens as possible. so fuckin dramatic.

while i also feel private jets are bad in general this is a conservative-media-led dogpile meant to smear her as punishment for telling her fans to vote or somesuch. there's more productive things to do with that drive and energy than parrot literally decades-old Fox News smears. why are we playing their game?

i don't think it even rises to the bar of a free speech issue, honestly. it's akin to throwing a tantrum because someone took your jerkass note off the corkboard, it was a courtesy to let it stay there in the first place.

Fox news pulled out the old "rich liberal having a private jet makes them a hypocrite because emissions" nugget they've been falling back on since the 2000 election (if not longer, that was the year i started following politics) and now it's getting astroturfed everywhere like it's a brand spanking new meme and not the same old conservative media tripe. more meaningless culture war shit, basically.

ITT people worry their hate speech won't be seen

political memes in 2024 be like:

• octogenarian with laser eyes
• reskinned voldemort vs dumbledore memes
• recycled memes from 20 years ago that used to be about Al Gore
• weird tribalist overreactions to said recycled memes because we stan billionaires as long as the correct people put on a show of hating them, apparently.
• shitting on grossly underpaid workers because their industry forces them to rely on gratuity
• im gigachad and you're wojak

my screen freaks out and flashes white and pink when I open/type in the gif thingy, in a way that makes me thankful i'm not photosensitive. it's been this way for over a year.
