Yes, that is what they said. And...?

The "Aryans" these clowns claim to be never actually existed, they're some lame occult-adjacent bullshit cooked up by Himmler et. al. to sell the big lie.

It's almost as if politicians (particularly at this level) often need to walk a rhetorical tightrope so as to avoid alienating large swathes of voters. Crazy.

Ooooohhh can't wait to see the idiotic conspiracy theories about this...

Also, just more shit for crystal mommies with no scientific literacy to use to try to explain "energy" to me.

Fucking hope this site is in no way representative of the voting population, because Jesus Christ.

That, or all the "I'm totally a progressive that suddenly learned about Gaza last week and refuse to vote for Biden because of it" astroturfing is shifting their gears to Harris.

They were looking for a new unified attack vector, and then she went and said this and they realized they could just keep doing the same old tired shit.

Reminder: if you give a single shit about Palestine or the people who live there, you will do everything you can to prevent Trump and down ballot Republicans from winning. At all costs.

If you can't see the forest for the trees, you're gonna find out real quick what happens in Gaza when Trump wins. Assuming you actually give a shit about those people and aren't just using them as political pawns to try to change the sentiment regarding Kamala Harris.

I will add that, after getting my first Pixel as my previous phone, I've found the Google vanilla Android experience is better than Android on other carriers that fill the phone with bloat that you can't get rid of without rooting.

American isn't turning anywhere if people don't vote down ballot too. Regardless of what the Supreme Court said, the President is not royalty.

All you need is the ability to write at a high school level, and as long as you're confirming their biases, you can convince these people of literally anything.

A group of hundreds spent weeks (months?) hanging around Dealey Plaza because they were certain that JFK was going to appear and, I dunno, rescue them from communism or whatever.

Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It's not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).

Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I'm sure people have valid reasons if they're using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things "Linux."

Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren't aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.

Even Valve's own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they're being extra conservative with those. I've gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as "unsupported," but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.

ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn't heard of it.

But yeah, it's almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.

Not to mention, if you actually read the Bible (particularly the Old Testament), if you need to choose a "good guy" and a "bad guy," it is very clear which would be which...

Yahweh was a jealous, petty, genocidal maniac.

Lucifer only told Eve she could actually eat fruit from a tree that god said she couldn't (it being the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil isn't relevant here im sure. No reason why this specific god would want to prevent his creation from discerning good from evil right??).

Without him, if you are to believe the Bible (which you absolutely 100% should not), we would literally not have the knowledge of the difference between good and evil.

And somehow that's a bad thing? Ignorance is bliss?

It's really not.

And you do realize that you just demonstrated my point, right?

I feel like everyone is talking about this as if it was a PR thing, but I imagine these guys (and their families) started getting death threats immediately after. They could be getting specific threats about violence at their upcoming concerts. Now isn't really the time to not take that kind of shit seriously unfortunately. Yes, it's right-wing terrorism. Yes, it works. Unfortunately.

I see this as being more about self-preservation, and the safety of their families (and fans), than about PR. But maybe I'm wrong.

Yes there is. It's called: stop being a religious ethnostate. Maybe try being a secular, Democratic nation that doesn't literally have an apartheid system.

South Africa was able to do it. Are you saying, with all of the funding my country is sending Israel (on my dime, by the way) they can't do what South Africa did in the 1990s? Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

Stop buying the propaganda. Both Netanyahu (and Likud in general) as well as Hamas have great interest in preventing a one state solution. It is of one of the few shared goals that they can agree on, and they have been doing everything in their power for decades to prevent that from even being an option on the table.

And they've been wildly successful, as people balk at the very concept of rebuffing religious nationalism in favor of secular democracy with a one state solution.

It's the only possible way to achieve any kind of lasting peace in the region.

I like how Japanese does it (at least based on a likely oversimplistic explanation by someone who makes 4+ hour video reviews of games like Pac-Man [yes, Tim Rogers]).

From what I understand, every time a person refers to themselves or someone else, they choose which pronoun to use to fit the situation. That is to say, their social stature compared to the other person's, their age compared to the other person's, the general circumstances, etc. Similar to how their honorifics work (suffixes like -kun, -san, -sama, etc.).

So for example, while there is a specific pronoun that is typically used to refer to a young female, if there is a young girl in a situation where she's trying to make herself feel stronger and older (I'm picturing an internal monologue here to hype herself up I guess. I'm too brain broken to not imagine all of this going down in a JRPG), she might refer to herself using the pronoun typically used by grown men.

Again, I don't know Japanese, so I can't give specific examples, and I could even be completely wrong, but maybe someone who knows the language can elaborate on (i.e. correct) what I said. I found it to be a very interesting way to go about it.

Two-state solution is not a viable path to a lasting peace.
