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.

Article is very interesting and talks about the mix of goals in regards to the protests, and how speech negatively and positively helps accomplish those goals.
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’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

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
Of course they expect them to retaliate. That’s the entire point. That’s why they attacked in the first place. They need Iran to be the boogeyman counterpart in the “help! We’re being threatened!” narrative that keeps the extremes in power in both Israel and Iran.
We’ve lost. Truth must be told. The inability to admit it encapsulates everything you need to know about Israel’s individual and mass psychology. There’s a clear, sharp, predictable reality that we should begin to fathom, to process, to understand and to draw conclusions from for the future. It’s no fun to admit that...
You’re getting downvoted not because people support Hamas’ terrorism, but because focusing on Hamas is helping Israel get away with committing genocide on innocent Palestinians
I don’t know why you’d pick this particular fight about calling the attacks on October 7th terrorism or not, because that is a fight you’re not going to win against the general public. Better to focus on what Israel is doing right now.
Even worse when you realize it’s the job of these journalists to tell people there’s a whole world out there. The general public may not know about this, but if you’re a journalist making these claims, they should know better
