my wokest take is that game developers/creatives in general shouldnt wait until AFTER people publicly give them shit to decide gen AI is not the way to go
i like how their first instinct is "it’s fake food" and not "it’s poor quality produce that wasn’t conserved properly in the supply chain" so now instead of advocating for better food regulations they just spat out conspiracy theories online
There’s a lot of diff reasons, but 1 thing I need people to work on is their fear or discomfort with conflict
Boundary violators routinely steamroll over people, ignore community rules, etc & people are generally too uncomfortable with conflict in the moment to hold the line
@I_need_a_razor Covid has only been around 6 years, allowed to fully rip about 4. That’s…3 infections? So to say “a lot of ppl are fine” about 45 year olds w 3-4 infections doesn’t rly relate to a future where most 45 year olds will have had THIRTY infections or more. That looks bad, data wise
i knew a dude who was forced into military service to keep his mother from being deported and he was more explicit about the evils of joining the US military than anyone ive seen saying "but what if youre poor". new hypothetical. what if you had principals?
Vor zwei Tagen wurde in Hebron ein sieben Monate altes palästinensisches Baby von israelischen Soldaten erschossen. Die Armee behauptete man habe es im fahrenden Auto nicht erkannt. Nun stellt der Vater klar: „Der Soldat war etwa zehn Meter von mir entfernt. Es war Tageslicht, das Auto stand und alles war klar erkennbar. Mein Sohn war in den Armen seiner Mutter."
Israels Armee erklärte sie untersuche das Ganze, doch das Ergebnis wird wie bei jedem anderen Verbrechen gegenüber Palästinensern sein: Keine Strafe, keine Konsequenzen.
I feel like not enough people know how much the Nazis were into natural health stuff- Himmler made a whole “New German Medicine” department that was just the same pseudoscience stuff like homeopathy. He was super into organic food to purify the Aryan race.
Yessss and this is also why homeopathy is still huge today in German healthcare, like it is taken very seriously and very much a part of their medical system, much to the detriment of patients lol
"TMRAs" does not have the same impact that the people who use it think it does. because trans men are actually an oppressed class, & advocating for their rights is important. advocating for the rights of trans people is a GOOD thing, don't let anyone gaslight you out of it.
Fun fact: AMOC collapse leads to an ice age within a few years. This isn't theoretical, it's happened prior. Humans are going to learn the hard way, as usual...
The more you learn about child abuse, the more you begin to realize that unconditional love is expected from children toward their parents, not the other way around. And it was never the other way around.
Just to be clear, if this was the other way around, a Palestinian filmmaker mocking the sexual assault of Israelis, they would be banned from the festival for life
It's because everyone is in denial of the ongoing nature of it + also lies a lot about how they experienced the early days of the pandemic. You cannot reckon with reality while refusing to engage with it and rewriting history, you just can't.
I think when people say "decolonize your mind" they mean from white supremacy — and I think it actually includes deprogramming yourself from all the other stuff too (religion, patriarchy, homophobia, capitalism, etc) because those things are also white supremacy believe it or not
you can tell Mormonism is an American invention by how much of their culture is about exploiting loopholes to get away with something. can’t drink caffeine but they’re obsessed with putting bullshit in soda. no coffee but the creamer is okay? it’s like soaking but for drugs.
Unfriendly reminder the concept of "female privilege" comes from men's rights activists and it's not better for you to just switch it up with "afab privilege" and act like you aren't a TERF/MRA yourself.
