UN votes 170-6 on Palestinian Right to Self-determination
  • As a person that's close to the matter - there is no aid for Gaza and you are saying le'bullshit. Any avenues we had were blocked one by one. Even shit like doctors getting medicine in their own backpacks / carry luggage, instead of personal belongings. Democrats aren't "pro Palestine a little bit" they support the genocide.

  • Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks
  • Because we just had a Biden term and a year of escalation happening, with no actual steps to stop it. Only PR moves like the pier, that was only there for the IDF, not for the aid. Then we had the campaign, with messaging being "we don't care about Palestine" and nothing else.

    Like, holy shit, you could just as well say "how would you know Trump is going to be bad for Palestine?" and it would be exactly as nonsensical - because we have the pattern of behavior from earlier and the campaigning. Harris embraced Biden's politics instead of distancing herself from them, it's that simple.

    Right now Biden is unburdened by a presidential campaign. He could do whatever he wants, or at least try to. He is trying to send as much weapons to Ukraine as possible (which is great don't get me wrong). He is acting. Yet jack shit is done with Palestine because there is no political will to do anything.

    And all of this because of people who tried to push "go vote for her anyway". As if we are in some bizzarro world where a party gets people's votes for not doing what the people want them to do.

  • Bluesky outage double feature, part 1
  • Yes, but there is a huge difference between email and social media - namely the community. You don't have that in email, so changing a provider is as simple as "my email now says @gmail.com". For social media, you need to "migrate" an entire group of people and the content that was present on a doomed instance. Which never happens. It's never seamless, it's always the "same" community with no history, different moderation, server, with different people. Don't get me started on two communities about the same thing, on two different servers, that don't know about one another.

    Fracturing the lifeblood of your "forum", "community" - your users will end up making decentralized frameworks / social media less popular than large centralized ones - no matter what you do.

  • Bluesky outage double feature, part 1
  • Yeah because decentralization is just a gimmick. It sounds cool on paper, but in reality it doesn't solve many problems - it just introduces many others. The only situation where it helps is if an instance goes down permanently, and even then it's not that helpful.

  • Space pirates' ultimate version of walking the plank would be sending their victims into a black hole
  • Your blood would literally boil the second you are exposed to the vacuum of space. You are dead long before you reach it. Maybe if they fire you off in a torpedo. But then some mutineer could fuck with the targetting systems and keep you alive.

  • Take that pesky liberals!
  • Okay, show me how the two candidates are worse or better in the long term.

    Candidate A is letting genocide happen, sends weapons, doesn't listen to the voters. Result is many dead people, many starving people and in 5 years - no Palestine.

    Candidate B is letting genocide happen and encouraging it in speeches. Sends weapons. Result is many dead people, many starving people and in 4 years - no Palestine.

    It's the same shit. Result is - no Palestine. No Palestinians. No matter if democrats win or republicans do. So yeah, they are exactly the same.

    The only arguments democrats have is either copium (that Harris would somehow stop it) which is proven to be false by the fact that they lost the election and don't have to worry about looking bad and they still send shit to Israel and support the genocide with weapons. Or that you should vote for them despite your views and despite them not earning your vote - to which I can tell you to vote Trump because he too didn't do what you want him to do, so you should be fine with that.
