Civilian proportion of deaths is higher than that in all world conflicts in 20th century, Haaretz newspaper says.

20th century contained two fucking nukes.

So far I’ve convinced ~30 people in PA to not vote for Joe Biden and over 100 total have confirmed they’re not going to.

The democrats have completely lost any form of credibility amongst us brown folk.

The ball is in the court of everyone else to force a primary.

Giving folks a choice of Genocide in talk and Genocide in action is not an acceptable choice.

There are folks who "just don't follow the news" because its "too depressing."

That's a level of privilege, and ignorance that honestly I can't actually excuse.

Ignoring a gaping wound isn't going to make the gaping wound close up.

In a few decades, folks are going to look back at this time. Your kids and grandkids are going to look at what you did when this genocide was happening.

Are you going to be able to hold your head high, or are you going to be ashamed and then find justifications of why you didn't use the little power you have to stop this?

We have progressive politicians actively resisting a cease fire. We have centrist, and right wing politicians actively resist a call for a cease fire.

We have artists ignore what's going on in the world. Either on purpose or because they're worried about getting "cancelled".

I'm scared of even writing this out because I've been seeing whats happening to anyone who dares question the status-quo.

Regular people, ordinary people. People like you and me are once again allowing a genocide take place.

Folks speaking up against it are losing their ability to feed themselves and their family.

The only voice that's really being heard in the upper echelons of society is an echo chamber supporting and/or justifying the genocide of a population.

Simply, we didn't learn the most important lesson that we could've from Nazi Germany.

In my opinion, the most important lesson we have to learn about German Fascism and its rise is the role of ordinary people in that.

All Germans are not, and were never "Nazis". That's, in fact, what makes Nazism and Fascism terrifying. The fact that a system like that can form without the support of everyone, or even the majority.

This is what folks do not understand about the discourse regarding the genocide currently going on in Palestine.

The speed at which everyone with power fell in line is terrifying.

The speed at which reasonable people lost their ability to think critically is terrifying.

The ignorance of history. The ignorance of everything. It's terrifying.

According to this website, saying "Free Palestine", counts as being anti Israel.

A word of advice for companies hiring:

Be transparent about pay and how it relates to internal leveling.

Hiding this information only creates an environment of mistrust and could lose you a lot of productivity.

This is one thing large companies do much, much better than small companies.

Israel-Palestine conflict

Israel’s minister of national security is so racist that when he was a young adult, the IDF exempted him from military service.

Read more about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_Ben-Gvir

This is the person responsible for national security in Israel.

It's honestly, terrifying to see how fast people turn to justifying war crimes and human suffering.

Like, this is one of the reasons I personally never feel "safe" here because one day I'm an icon of "diversity", the next day I'm a target - from the same person.

For all the well-deserved, praise Baldur's Gate 3 gets, here's my painpoints with the game:

- Loading a save should not take 20+ seconds.

- Inventory management is just...why? It's so bad it feels like they haven't playtested that part at all?

- Coop permanent party members also why? Why punish people for having their friend join them on a random adventure?

Every time I have to upgrade my phone I am reminded that I freaking hate Signal.

Why are you not doing encrypted backups to iCloud? Why do I need to sit here for 30+ minutes for you to transfer my chats to my new phone??

For the amount of shit Signal gives telegram, they've had this problem for years at this point.

I really don't understand the "STEM ONLY" folk.

My college education was legitimately useless except for the few social studies classes I was able to fit into my "optional classes".

I learned more in women and gender studies than I did in any CS class.

I had the opportunity to be exposed to a very basic class on eastern philosophy - and it's information I use and refer to every day.
