What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?
  • It's not clear why. It could be an issue with being able to accurately perceive your own temperature, it could be a comfort thing, it could be that they're more likely to want important possessions to be harder to steal.

    So either medical, emotional or social. 🤷

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reveals plans to fire 600 federal health workers
  • The kennedy clan are known to be very protective of their reputation, hence being so reluctant to speak out about the insane russian asset in the family.

    I'm going to enjoy watching their family name associated with the largest rise in preventable deaths in american history. At least until I contract polio.

  • What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?
  • I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places

    Schizophrenic people are very likely to do this. I work in mental health and this was mentioned in our training. At my location maybe 1/3-1/2 of folks wore one or more puffy jackets all summer long.

  • I messaged it to you. Please report back if you remain alive and internetted.

  • "Fear coded" is an interesting construction. That is easier to say than "betrays a fear based thought process", which is what it sounds like to me. Different enough from something like 'fearful thinking' that I can see why it would be used.

    The Pleiadian stuff is just too much nonsense for me to want to understand anything used in that context.

    I searched just 'pleiadian' on google and got both an 'About' and the 3rd result linking to a misspelled PDF on IRS.gov about "ancier& extraterrestrials" Um what? I've never been so tempted to click a link that I know I shouldn't click.

  • Nightmare Blunt Rotation
  • refers to all of her thoughts as "codes"

    I've never heard of such a thing. Can anyone point me to a real life example? I'd love to see exactly how that's used.

  • I am your king!
  • Remember when Silvio Berlusconi lied, cheated, raped and stole his way through public life, gaining wealth and fame, dying at the ripe age of 86 without facing justice and after having set the stage for even more extreme fascists to take over?

    History shows that often, very often, the baddies just win.

  • I'm surprised it hasn't been taken down yet ...well maybe not that surprised
  • If it's not right for them, it's not right for us

    Doxing, say, women who've had abortions or trans people so they can be imprisoned or killed by 3%ers is just fundementally different than doxing a murderous fascist in order to protect people's lives.

    Outcome matters.

  • 2024 State Races Megapost!
  • the idea that it would hurt small business is a smoke screen.

    Yeah, the ultra wealthy are always claiming that if they have to pay their fair share then all of society will suffer. 🙄 118 honestly sounds fine to me, but the array of groups I trust that were against it gave me pause. I voted no, hoping to avoid another case of doing the right thing the wrong way.

  • 2024 Presidential Election Megapost!
  • or he's going to go to prison

    Someone's an optimist!

  • Blinken Regrets Hamas Rejection In New Truce Bid
  • Even the hostages are only as much leverage as their families can apply - netanyahu has shown time and again that he'll let them all die if it gives him another day in power.

  • Polls are still open
  • Everybody please go vote! That said, I just don't think it is nihilism.

    Some of it is accelerationism - the idea that the worse the ruling class treat people they closer society gets to a revolution that will improve things drastically more than voting for dems would. I think that's flawed, but it's not nihilism.

    A lot of it is propaganda. Oligarchs on both sides of the bering straight have been ploughing cash into amplifying any messaging that will depress left turnout. This isn't nihilism, it works because people believe things - we are social primates and conforming with a group is essential for our survival.

    And a small amount is people who have legitimate emotional reasons, like relatives killed in israel's genocide. Not voting doesn't help that situation, but that emotional reality is not nihilism.

  • How do I quit smoking?
  • First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.

    I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I'm too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.

  • US State Department Spokesman Cracks Joke About Israel's Starvation Blockade on Gaza
  • When asked about the aid levels, Miller acknowledged Israel has “failed” to meet US requests so far but said there was still time until the 30-day deadline and that the US wouldn’t give a “grade” to Israel just yet. “It’s not the end of the semester. You don’t give out – you don’t hand out grades in the middle,” he said while laughing.

    Calling that a joke seems... generous.

  • Sweden jails activist who burned Quran for inciting hatred
  • Is it equivalent to burning the cross? The Swedish flag?

    No, it's definitely not. You have to look at the social context of the act, not just the act itself.

    To use the most obvious examples, burning an american flag in protest of the vietnam war is clearly an expression of political speech, whereas burning a cross on the lawn of an african-american family's house is an incitement to violence.

    A fascist burning the koran is clearly an incitement to violence and hatred, and not legitimate political speech worth protecting.

  • Biting off more than you can chew
  • Stinky tofu is usually fermented directly in rotting vegetable matter, I believe. But that sounds like the flavor, yeah.

    Have you tried deep frying it? The crispy outside and soft inside is delightful. It's often served with a little cooked cabbage.

  • This is a real food I just found
  • Wasabi Sushi in Portland OR had a deep fried hot cheetos sushi donut. It was like a tempura fried sushi roll, but round and covered in cheeto dust.

    It was not bad, just a bit too greasy for my taste.

  • Billionaire Home Depot Cofounder Bernard Marcus Dead at 95
  • For all the fun-ruiners saying this is not uplifting news because his assets will live on, zombie-like, animating his feckless children as they continue to inflict their monstrous will on our country - shush!

    Just let us have this ok? A few moments to celebrate the death of a parasitic aristocrat doesn't seem like too much to ask.

  • You can easily learn Chinuk Wawa, the common language of the Pacific Northwest! Search Chinuk Wawa on Apple/Play stores.

    Chinuk Wawa, also called Chinook Trade Jargon, is an incredibly simple language with like ~1000 words and basically no grammar. It's a pidgin of several native languages with some english and french influence.

    The language was spoken by settler and native alike, until the railroad arrived and English overwhelmed it.

    The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde built a very nice app to help learn this very important part of our region's heritage.

    New Poll Shows Trump’s Desperate Play for Black Voters Is Failing
    newrepublic.com New Poll Shows Trump’s Desperate Play for Key Voting Group Is Failing

    Donald Trump held multiple events to court Black voters, and not one of them paid off.

    New Poll Shows Trump’s Desperate Play for Key Voting Group Is Failing

    A survey of 600 likely general election voters in Michigan, released late Thursday by WDIV Local 4/Detroit News, found that zero African American respondents said that they supported Trump, while 82.1 percent said they supported Vice President Kamala Harris.
