@KejanHaynes@mikhuel100 If we want to talk, talk, talk and babble, we are allowed to do that. We can choose to use it for whatever reason we decide. That is exactly what makes it a right.
This World Cup, everyone with Norway 🇳🇴
The joy Norway experienced at the end of the match after defeating Israel 5-0:
Norway donated all the match's proceeds to Palestine.
FIFA ha rechazado la camiseta de la Copa Mundial de Haití, argumentando que era demasiado "política".
En la camiseta, Haití conmemora la liberación de su pais del colonialismo, el establecimiento de la primera nación negra del mundo y la abolición de la esclavitud.
El imperio occidental nunca perdonará a Haití por ser la primera nación en liberarse del colonialismo y dar ejemplo revolucionario a todas sus demás colonias.
¡Viva el pueblo de Haiti, vivan los libertadores anticoloniales Toussaint Louverture y Jean-Jacques Dessalines!
I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
FIFA rejecting Haiti’s jersey’s for being “too political” while allowing Israel to play, & the US to host World Cup (while denying visas, restricting entrance, banning Iranian players from staying in country) is a selective, targeted invocation of their “neutrality” policies.
The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.
But the USA still refuses to let him in.
The USA need to be disqualified
After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
falling out of love is one thing but slowly realizing your friend isn't a good person/not in alignment with you and needs to be let go is a pain that isn't talked about enough
Lmao I have 2.
Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi.
Mother Teresa let dying patients be treated with blunt reused needles, had a mortality rate about 40% in her clinics and when she was confronted about the conditions, said there’s something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, and to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. Doctors called her facilities “homes for the dying”. And cancer patients were given aspirin for pain.
Gandhi too, the face of universal peace, the person that said “be the change you wish to see”, spent years in South Africa describing Black Africans as “savage”, “dirty” and living like animals. He campaigned actively to prove to British rulers that Indians were superior to native Black Africans. He also organized a brigade to help suppress a Zulu uprising. His defenders say he evolved. Maybe.
Nobody likes to talk about the entire sides of history.
And these are their summarized versions btw.
I don't want self-driving cars.
I don't want humanoid robots.
I don’t want AI in every app I use.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.
Btw in your 20’s and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. It’s very important you revisit them. Your younger self was actually on to something
Listen, no one is “vilifying” rich people.
They are actual villains. If you run a billion dollar company, give yourself millions in dollars and benefits, but pay your individual workers less than a living wage and give them pathetic insurance, what are you if not a villain?
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?
When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power
