Modern Israel is not Judaism! It’s not the same theocracy described in the old testament. It’s not even religiously pure, there’s a sizeable Christian and Muslim population. It’s perfectly valid to respect Jews and and their beliefs, and to criticize Netanyahu’s government for attempting to crush Palestine and kill its civilians indiscriminately in raids. Jewish folks in the US and abroad are joining in the protests to stop the war - this isn’t about being antisemitic, this is telling a very atrocious government to stop behaving as a similarly atrocious government did 80 years ago

Nothing like a good ol sham election to keep the dictatorship modern democracy alive!

I could see something like this being a common use icon, it’s very well done. I prefer this look to having the big bodied Tux on a small icon, this solves the problem well. Good job!

Meanwhile here I am just tooting with folks in my small part of the community blissfully unaware of

MASTODON

Why is Mastodon being treated as a monolithic entity?

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock but women can use technology as much as everyone else, I’m not understanding why this is news worthy

Getting mad at X-Men for being “woke” is just very, very very stupid and I don’t even want to throw justification as to why because it should be so obvious if you’ve even take one look at the media source that they’re effectively outing themselves as morons.

If you get mad at other franchises for revisionist inclusivity, whatever, but c’mon it’s X-Men, there’s no limits here.

America under Trump means our allyship erodes and we lose the power to stand up to major threats in the event of war, plain and simple

shareholders raking in more money

Prices are still ass for the average American expenses

“The economy is doing great why you feel bad?”

EDIT: This is actually the media screwing us over here, Biden actually touches on why, bad headline

Didn’t realize, good to know, thank you!

You totally don’t want to just learn Linux command line and how to use the youtube-dl/yt-dlp packages through WSL or a Linux distro, that would deny corporations all of your money and be way too convenient. Thankfully it’s not intuitive to learn or there would be so much more piracy!

Cost of living is pretty low there but not that low. Lots of impoverished communities.

“Excuse me, I am not FRENCH, I am BELGIAN” --David Suchet, an English actor playing a Belgian detective upset at being called French for international audiences

Easy for me to think that he could have just brandished the gun to get the guy to back off. But I’m not in his shoes, I’m just some guy on his phone, I don’t envy him having to deal with that scenario and could totally see anyone making the wrong decision there

So violate their faith for school? That’s not an ideal solution

So what is the solution for religious families then? Are they forced to private institutions/homeschool?

France may be good for not respecting a religion and disallowing abuse of religious systems that would attack the freedom of non-religious/minority-religious citizens, but are going to the opposite side of this problem. Abayas don’t hurt anyone and, from what I can tell/correct me if wrong, are used as a religious observation. France is going out of their way to impose restrictions on elements that are generally harmless that these people may see as a religious necessity, attacking the freedom of religious citizens. There has to be a balance and they’re off on the other arc of the pendulum swing here.

Congrats!!

Lol time to go deer hunting except instead of bullets it’s a tranq gun with Pfizer

For me, I had a netbook in 2008 and Windows 7 starter was a paywalled and slow mess, and Ubuntu 8.10 ran like a dream AND ran Windows apps! And looked cooler and the terminal was pretty awesome to use.

It’s still that way, Windows 11 runs like shit and only lets you customize so much and makes decisions on when you update and what services you can have running and numerous other minor complaints, meanwhile Linux is free, fast, works well and doesn’t get in your way.

You forget the huge evangelical segment of the US conservative base, they have a thing for Israel
