Wasn’t it considered, socially, to be Neo-Nazi shit to say that white genocide was happening in South Africa? Like I distinctly remember a while back, that if you said this shit, you would get weird looks at the very least, and people would question as to whether you were a fucking Nazi.

Anime girl backgrounds are mostly waifu/waifu veneration culture in the anime fandom sphere. Otherwise if motherfuckers were setting full on hentai doujinshi panels as their backgrounds…holy shit, that would be wild and bring up a few questions as to the mental health and porn addiction of the individual involved, unless it was some stylistic repeated Ahegao face collage of some sort for the memery.

What the fuck? It was being used as a resort? Jesus fucking Christ.

Ehh we gotta keep a few remnants around. Think, if none of these places existed, you’d get neo-nazis claiming shit like “slavery never existed, there is no evidence of such a thing, where are the buildings? Where are these so called “plantations”. Exactly, it never existed”.

From what I’ve heard, there are “Japanese Nationals” only spaces. But there are also many (if hazard to guess a majority of these locations) places that, due to their lack of English skills, put signs that mean to them “Japanese language only”, that is to say, they the proprietors of said location can only speak and write in Japanese, and therefore if you try to speak to them in your language, will not likely be able to service you properly. Some of these places will try their best to service you and let you in as well. Granted there are also places that will deny service if you don’t speak any Japanese, and that is ridiculous, but I’d like to think those places are few and far between as well.

If they start mandating an entire class section to that shit, I mean fuck it, why not just have people skip that class session. Go out for boba and drinks on that day kek.

I swear, some people are such a stickler for the rules. UM TECHNICSHUALLY A FINGER TAP COULDVE BEEN ASSAULT. Missing that the point is basically to call the cops a bunch of pussies for even thinking of pressing charges against an old woman, who wouldn’t have been able to actually do any damage to them. Like bro, are you gonna press charges against a baby for kicking you in the hands while you’re changing their diapers? No, you’re not.

I’m surprised armed plainclothes and or tactically dressed leftist groups, who’s goal is to specifically protect accused immigrants, haven’t popped up.

Depends on your target demographic I guess. Younger consumers will notice, older ones not so much.

The average consumer cares about the quality of a product as well as how affordable it is. AI…I dunno, it doesn’t really make a product “look” better if it’s ads or packaging or what have you, have a “meh” AI art vibe. AI art, because of its ease of generation, is vast becoming a sign of genericness.

I mean…if it prevents a fascist takeover…

Oh I don’t discount insurgency being a thing, that I think is very likely. I’m just saying that the balkanization process, I don’t see happening for a long time. Balkanization I think sorta implies strong state governors trying to secede. That takes time. That takes drumming up the state nationalisms of Californians, Minnesotans, etc. That takes a radical social movement and drift away from the American identity and culture, and developing one’s own within ones state. Insurgency, probable, balkanization, not yet.

With how everything is currently structured, I don’t think it’s too likely. The people of the individual states that would balkanize, still too strongly believe in a united American nation. The federal government would also have to significantly weaken itself and it’s own powers, and it currently seems to be further centralizing and strengthening itself without regard to and in opposition to it’s people’s political rights and powers.

I mean, I don’t even think it’s a matter of privacy, and moreso a matter of spreading out the amount of influence that one person can have as a whole on a public platform. If it’s more spread out, there is less direct control that billionaires and corpos will have on these platforms that have basically become very important in terms of public discourse and public opinion.

Dunno why you’re being down voted so hard. Didn’t Bluesky literally cede to Turkish demands of censorship or some shit?

I mean I thought thorium reactors were figured out already? The economics of it and lobbying by big oil was the problem. It ain’t that surprising that China could make a thorium reactor though.

I often think that when people talk about peaceful protest, they use the broadness and ambiguity of the word “”“peaceful”“” to clamp down on any actual protest. The civil rights movement was non-violent, and if non-violence is your standard for peaceful, than it’s peaceful. Conservatives however see anything illegal happening in a protest, and even though there was lack of violence, will say “they did something illegal, therefore it isn’t peaceful”. Civil disobedience, that is illegally not following an unjust law, must be practiced for non-violent protest to be effective. Over the years conservatives have managed to make it seem as if the civil rights movement won by just passively picketing buildings.

By the way, It’s a matter of semantics sure, but sometimes, semantics can be very important, especially if you want to make a very specific point.

The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.

Bro, Imma be honest, as a nicotine addict, I wouldnt encourage anyone get on it. You start seeing nicotine as a stimulant that you “need” to get through difficult tasks, or tasks that need focus, or shit, maybe you even need to game a bit better because you’re sleep deprived(caused by the nicotine) and having an extra stimulant alongside some caffeine might help. You start using it to get through stuff, and then because of withdrawals, that “”“”“justifies”“”“” your use of it to get through stuff even more. Not to mention nicotine’s bad effects on your gum health and cardiovascular health.

By the way, for anyone reading this, fuck vaping. Harder to quit than smoking because a lot of people get nicotine salt disposables, or their mental process when in withdrawal/craving phase is “oh it’s just vapor, not smoke which is carcinogenic, one more hit couldn’t hurt”. Which is true, smoke, tar, combustion, etc is the main cancer causing part of nicotine, but thinking of it like that doesn’t help you quit.

Don’t smoke, don’t vape. Longest I’ve lasted is a month so far, and that’s because I threw my little nic salt pen and carts away.

Edit Addendum: Btw, this is typed by a mofo who is still vaping, I relapsed. I fell into that same line of logic above. “I need it to get through work” type shit
