I’m neither young nor a racial minority, but I fully understand the position of not consenting to genocide. Is this really that hard for people? What is the argument in favor of supporting Israel? I mean, I know the state is doing a capitalism, but what’s the argument to an average Joe?
Anything short of “all people are humans and we pass no judgment on the infinite variety of human expression and behavior” is offensively out of sync with reality. Any amount of perpetuating papal bigotry is out of sync with the teachings of the holy guy he’s supposed to be representing.
Modest Mouse called this out in their song Novocain Stain back in '97 or whenever.

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, an ally of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, will not accept the results of the Nov. 5 election if they are “unfair,” he said on Sunday....
Except this case proves that to be a lie. I’m sure there were boys in suits there. Unless boys are also required to wear dresses? If that’s not the case, then this is a clear case of one student being treated differently from others.
I mean… Leviticus through Deuteronomy is one long string of genocides that were committed by Israelites and justified by “God said to.” There’s even a story in there where the Israelites don’t want to commit yet another genocide because the army they’re up against is bigger and stronger, and God tells them basically, “If you don’t go do that genocide I’ll kill you where you stand.” This brutality seems expected in that context.
Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about...
I worry that not doing debates for this cycle would be the start of a tradition of not doing them anymore, ever. To some degree, I’m in favor of doing them even knowing they’re only ceremonial.
But even as I write that out, I wonder if the whole thing needs a facelift. This kind of televised debate was made up in a world where television had the broadest media reach. It was a public service to broadcast debates, and there was a time when that might make up the majority of what a voter knew about the candidates.
Now we have the Internet and no need to shoehorn a Very Formal Debate into a prime time slot. Debates could be shorter and focused on the details of particular issues, allowing the candidates to converse more directly on topics. I would listen to a whole year of weekly podcast episodes like that leading up to an election.
I finally did it and got an used RX 6950 XT to replace my GTX 1080 Ti. I’ve been using this card ever since I moved to Linux and now I’m wondering what exactly I have to do. On Windows it’s mostly run DDU and install the new AMD drivers, everything else will probably work the same with Afterburner etc....
I did this swap recently as well, on Fedora. I had to do literally nothing, as the drivers were already available and installed. I uninstalled akmod-nvidia to tidy up, but I suppose even that wasn’t strictly required.
It would be cool to see the Steam Deck model turned into a wider model for selling gaming PCs in different formats. A higher powered “Steam Deck” that looks and feels like a console but works internally like a PC, gives root access, can support any PC hardware, allows for upgrades and repairs, etc.
We care about freedom from hunger, unemployment and poverty — and, as FDR emphasized, freedom from fear. People with just enough to get by don’t have freedom — they do what they must to survive. And we need to focus on giving more people the freedom to live up to their potential, to flourish and to be creative. An agenda...
