Why not?

Because of what they’re saying. Actions aimed at innocent civilians for a political goal, that’s terrorism. If you’d apply that definition to one, then also apply it to the other

Did anyone see that interview with Taylor Lorenz? Chaya’s so dumb. This anti-LGBT stuff is her bread and butter and she doesn’t know a damn thing about it.

lol this is me, about 14 years old for biology class. We had to grow seeds in light and dark conditions. For a 14 year old, the fact that plants grow faster in dark conditions is quite counterintuitive, so the teacher had an easy time to find out who falsified their data. Great experiment

Let me go against the grain here: I see a lot of people saying “we need a show like this, we need more of that”, but we don’t really need more Star Wars. We need good Star Wars, not more Star Wars.

Most people want the occasional movie and show about the central Star Wars story, not a multitude of spin-offs about not-Star Wars which happen to be set in the Star Wars universe. They should develop more original stories and settings. “Go out and make your own Star Wars” in the words of George Lucas.

The only problem is the central movies have turned out to be absolute dogshit under Disney.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

Fascinating! Thank you for this article. It exactly describes what’s happening: “oh, you think you’re better than us? I’ll have another steak!”

I worked at 8 different companies as a contractor, so hopefully my sample size is big enough to be meaningful. I’d say it’s 50-50. The companies that don’t, usually know that they should but they need a little help. Companies that don’t do it and they think they don’t need it, are becoming more and more rare (fortunately).

Stick with it. If you’re a junior, don’t go evangelizing automated testing because it will fall on deaf ears until you’re a little more experienced. Keep practicing and offer to set things up if they haven’t already.

It’s an apt comparison. A good majority of young people want the destruction of Gaza to stop but the president won’t have it. If young people don’t go to vote for Biden in November, this will be the reason. This effect becomes stronger and stronger the longer this goes on. It absolutely can define the generation that is now growing up into politics

What the hell are you talking about? The comparison is between the US college protest being like the Vietnam protest, not between the conflicts in Vietnam and Gaza which are nothing alike. This is a politically coming of age of a new generation of protesters, and the political establishment dug themselves into a position that these protesters will never accept. This may be Biden’s downfall because there’s no chance he’ll give up his full support of Israel and the occupation.

Whatever you say. You sound like a Hillary supporter with that “smart voters would never do that” energy. I’m out. You can have the last word. Or lots of words

I’m one of these people who turn off transparency effects at the earliest convenience. Everything else, fine, but don’t go changing even a single pixel of a window because of what’s behind it in an unrelated window. It’s distracting

It was never in the cards, sorry to say. To be leftist means to grow stronger every time you lose. The Democratic Party would rather lose to Trump than win with a scary socialist.

It isn’t obvious but it’s pretty damn violent in some scenes. I didn’t realize until I tried this on my friend who couldn’t handle it.

It’s baffling how the police are not blamed at all in this scenario. First thought going through her head was “he’s black, they’re gonna kill him”. Fucked up country. ACAB

I hate it because I watch it but don’t enjoy it at all. It just wastes my time. It’s addictive but not in the good way like a video game that draws you in, but in the “help I can’t control myself” kind of way. FUCK THE ALGORITHM

Define too long. I like videos of up to 20 minutes. That’s long to some people. Occasionally I’ll enjoy longer videos but almost always I think to myself “you could have said the same in a much shorter video”. If you’re coming up on an hour or more, you should really look at that script again. And I won’t even open the 4 hours bullshit rambling videos. Do people actually watch that or is it just on in the background?

OP is using this to say Israelis don’t support the genocide, but they overwhelmingly do. That’s why there will be another war a few years down the road, Netanyahu or no. It’s like appeasement didn’t stop Hitler or how giving up Ukraine won’t stop Putin. They will be back. Israel has been giving Palestinians hell for as long as it exists

Autonomous my ass. Is a person remote controlling it from a low wage county?

'My school abandoned me': California university cancels pro-Palestinian student's commencement speech (www.middleeasteye.net)

The University of Southern California has cancelled a scheduled commencement speech by Asna Tabassum, citing unnamed security concerns after her selection as valedictorian was met with a wave of online attacks directed at her pro-Palestinian views....

No, they mean fuck Israel. It can only exist as a Jewish state because all non-Jews have been stripped of their rights. Make it a secular state with equal rights for everyone, or allow the Palestinians their own state with no Israeli occupation. The current situation is straight up apartheid

Israel is doing it now. This isn’t history
