  • That's perhaps true since the fall of the USSR, but European so-called communists definitely did not love anarchists for most of their history. Most anarchists I know are still very weary of people calling themselves communists

  • communists in the funhouse it metal as hell

  • Never heard it either. Missed opportunity to quote "The English are landing" ("Les anglais débarquent", referring the Redcoats) though

  • The only people I know that use Firefox, myself included, do it because they don't trust Google and the other silicon valley tech giants. Way to shoot yourself in the foot Mozilla, it's like you don't know your userbase at all

  • Yes, because less nuance, less attention to details and more power to big tech blackboxes is exactly what the world needs in 2025

  • The cheat code for this is being a native french speaker. Can't pronounce "squirrel" though, si it's not a perfect solution

  • Honestly I'm so glad I started biking to my high school all those years ago, it conditioned me to view biking as a natural solution for my daily commutes.

  • To be fair that's basically the case for straight characters too. Hollywood is fine with normal-looking men but all women have to be supermodels to even get a role (with a few exceptions, of course)

  • So much this.

    "- I hate the fact that my landlord gets half the money I make without doing anything to earn it!

    -If you think it's so easy why don't you buy yourself a flat and rent it?"

    Well because I don't fucking want to become a bloodsucking leech myself, is that so hard to understand?

  • I'm sure there are plenty of activities that you could enjoy but never thought of. Try joining a sports club that isn't a gym, or a board games club, or a book club, anything really. It doesn't have to be something that you currently do or that you already enjoy, you can also try expanding your hobbies by thinking of cool stuff you'd like to do but never got around to try

  • 🚣 challenge

  • Nah, too risky. What if during those two days someone puts a gun to my head and tells me they'll shoot unless I post the rowboat emoji? What if I'm stranded in the middle of a lake and need to communicate to an illiterate person that they should get their rowboat and come help me?

  • The guy tried to humiliate you in front of his daughter in some kind of weird power move, and there was no answer that could have saved the situation. He brought this onto himself

  • Ex-Obama Aide Says Holocaust Education Is ‘Confusing’ Young People Into Sympathizing With ‘Weak, Skinny’ Palestinians

    Jump

  • My father was an Arab muslim, and was involved in the fight for Palestinian rights for as a long as I can remember, until he died of cancer a few months before the October 7th attacks. I never really thought much about his activism and was never curious enough to ask him questions about what he was actually doing.

    When he was on his death bed at the hospital and I was staying with him, we got visited by members of his town's Jewish community. They told me he was a great guy, and that throughout his years as an activist for Palestinian rights he has always strived to build bridges between Muslim and Jewish communities and always made it clear that the palestine-israel conflict shouldn't be an excuse to antisemitism or islamophobia. They also told me he took part in a humanitarian trip in Palestine with them, as a translator, and was instrumental in bridging the gap between them and their Palestinian contacts. I never knew he did all that and it really made me proud.

    What sometimes still keeps me up at night is to think that, should he have lived to see the current events, he would probably have been called a raging antisemite by the assholes we see all over the media.

  • You know, I can somewhat understand how some people that have been exposed to Israeli propaganda can think Israel isn't in the wrong. I don't excuse it, mind you, because all the evidence is right here to disprove it if they bothered to check, but ultimately it just shows how effective propaganda can be in the information age.

    What I can't wrap my mind around is how a seemingly smart person can say they saw all the evidence, talk about the "carnage" going on and how "powerful people are hurting the weak", and still come to the conclusion that the real victims are those same powerful people responsible for the carnage. I really can't understand what must happen in someone's brain to be like that

  • So how is this not blasphemy? Not that I care, mind you, but they're supposed to

  • Tobacco conference to weigh up stubbing out cigarette butts

    Jump

  • I recall hearing in a documentary that filters were just yet another PR scheme by Big Tobacco to make smoking more appealing when studies started to show up about the health effects of cigarettes.

    I don't have a source in mind so don't quote me on this, but I even seem to remember that those filters are designed to take a yellow/brownish colour when you smoke to make it look like they filter out all the nasty stuff that would otherwise end up in your body

  • Yup, I've been in my (heterosexual but not married) relationship for long enough that the word "girlfriend" doesn't really feel like a good descriptor anymore.

  • Playing with dolls

  • I think it's both, or rather that the word "partner" doesn't fit in their very narrow view of acceptable relationships (heterosexual marriage)

  • I've just asked my partner to "grab me by the scruff of the neck and force me to take an appointment", as soon as possible. Thanks for your message, it actually gave me the momentum I needed to get moving
