Don't let the robots see this comment when they gain sentience

I'm empathetic enough to feel bad for the robots. If they programmed it to look sad and cry when you stole from it, I could never go through with it

I once ordered 12 hashbrowns from a take out place and got nothing but support from the lady working there. I hope you felt the same affirmation for your decision

Just had to say goodbye to my 18 year old kitty, I know it was for the best but god it's so hard. I hope she felt all the love in the world because she was a perfect cat

One of the best shows that has come out recently

I've had this feature on my phone for quite a while since it's MIUI. But the issue I've had is that it will decrease the volume even when I'm connected to Bluetooth speakers or my car where it's easier to max the volume on the phone and control the volume on the speakers

It's a hard decision, I sometimes have that feeling of wanting to go back to a low stakes job where I don't have to worry about so much. Teaching can be extremely rewarding but also it takes a lot out of you. I love the kids but I also worry about them, and they can be pretty bigoted from what they pick up at home. It's worth trying to see if it's your thing, you can always leave. But tbh if you're American I would never teach for how little American teachers get paid

Alright I tried doing this on your terms, peace

Okay we're in a thread talking about how Native Hawaiians feel about the American government. I actually want to know why you are arguing this point and what you feel it accomplishes, in genuine good faith. Like are you Native Hawaiian, do you like in Hawaii, do you just like the idea of being able to visit Hawaii without a passport, or is there some other reason?

For me, I'm arguing this because I believe Indigenous people around the world have a right to self governance and freedom from colonial occupiers. So what's your reason?

I dunno what to tell you dawg if you can't understand that a referendum of Hawaiian residents from 1959 doesn't represent the opinions of Native Hawaiians after 60 years of American control and immigration to the island. If you're so into facts and stats you should know a representative measure of their opinion could only be done through a survey of Native Hawaiians

Nice job replying on your other account first lol, are you in here upvoting yourself too?

So then your point about

Hawaiians could have protested, revolted, or one of many other options. But they didn’t.

Is false

So to quote you

That’s the thing about facts— your opinions don’t magically make them untrue, regardless of how many folksy sayings or logical fallacies you conjure.

Like the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement which began actively protesting and gained support in the 1960s, pretty soon after the referendum?

Cowards

Yeah I was sure it was the last one based on how it wrapped everything up. But then they had a big "Starlord will return" message at the very end which felt very forced and out of place

Yea that's fair I can see how he could have that role it's definitely something I should read more into to make sure it's not just stuff I've picked up that's overstated or misrepresented.

I would say liking Farrakhan and the NOI would make him at least unbothered by antisemitism if not being antisemitic in itself considering his praise of Hitler, the religion's views on Jewish people etc.

And like yea the Nation of Islam is different than a white person being a Nazi but it doesn't excuse antisemitism in the same way Chandra Bose fighting the British during WW2 doesn't excuse his collaboration with the Axis, or the subsequent RSS and BJP veneration of Hitler.

I dunno maybe I'm interpreting his part wrong but the amount that he quotes and references Farrakhan gives me pause. That and I'm not very charitable in my interpretation of him after everything he's already said lol

It's dissapointing to see artists who espouse leftist politics in their songs be shitty outside of the music. Like we know Killer Mike is a landlord at this point no matter what he says. But now Noname having Jaydolf Spitler (Jay Electronica) on her album to rap about how he hates Jewish people and for her response to be people can just ignore it if they don't like it.

I know I know, kill yr idols like Sonic Youth said but it's still annoying
