protests like that really just serve to raise awareness…
let’s the government know people are very pissed, and let’s other pissed citizens know they’re not alone…
and makes unaware citizens aware of the problem…
it’s a great start, but doesn’t solve anything on its own

“Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to receive flour brought by UN trucks”

well that’s about the most horrible thing ive ever heard of…

i’d have a hard time finding someone who’s opinion mattered less, on this subject…
i think right now Israel is putting an insane amount of money into propaganda…

posts celebrating the Hamas massacre of October 7th minutes after it began

ah, so they all knew of the rapes minutes after the attack began and were celebrating it…

allow me to sum up interpersonal relationships between all 8 billion people in one sentence:
you can’t

but, in a nutshell… physical attraction is usually important, so is romance… usually a commitment to this person in terms of time and future plans where they become more like family (and maybe eventually actually family if you have kids)

there’s such a crazy spectrum of the ways in which people could get along and consider themselves “in a relationship”.
every rule or tendency is constantly broken, it escapes definition.
in general, it begins with attraction and flirting, or it’s cemented as a friendship…
and, poetically, i’d say it’s a relationship when they start to see themselves as an entity, and of course others will see them like that too… a sort of hive-mind develops…
sorta like when celebrity couples get a combo nickname…

i’ve heard the opposite, “they hate us so why should we care about them!”
so i imagine from something like that…

well i guess he’s saying that normally empathy requires reciprocity

house of cards

no distractions…
one metaphor i heard is, holding a program in your head is like building a house of cards, every time a phone rings or something breaks your concentration, you have to rebuild the house

linking the same 950 pages from the article isn’t helpful

maybe i’m biased… but isn’t Conga a particularly inhospitable place to live?
it seems like the dramatic climate shift would be pretty difficult as well…

it’s satire

well it is a much more direct approach than usual…

jesus christ, what a fucked up court system we have…
at any rate, the incredibly evil nurse from yale at least refilled them with sterile saline solution, and didn’t kill 10 people… or any people…
i think that’ll make a difference…

not noble… but they tend to hate certain types of criminals more than others…

no

it’s not targeted, it’s just that drugs seem like a better idea the more miserable you are to begin with… so divested locales have it worse.

also, the poorer you are the better drug dealing seems.
