Good, she needs to win the election. Biden Beat Trump last time, trying to differentiate herself too much from him could tank her chances this time.
Let's see what happens once she's in office. Or, I guess we can watch as Trump funnels infinite firepower to Israel so that they can "finish the job". The voters will decide that, so maybe consider what's actually at stake.

Is that what you contrarians think you are? Cute.

11,000,000 / 40,000 = 275
The 4 years of the Holocaust were 275x more deadly than what Israel has done to Palestinians in the past year. The Genocide in Gaza is 0.36% of a Holocaust.
If you count only the Jews killed in the Holocaust, it's 6,000,000 / 40,000 = 150, or 0.67%.
I don't think "genocide is genocide" is a good philosophy. Comparing two tragedies where one tragedy had literally hundreds of times more death than the other requires one to acknowledge that one event was worse than the other, even if both events are intolerably evil.

This is actually a pretty hilarious take.
Farmers being worse than Hitler and Stalin. Torturing trillions of fish to death annually. Jesus as the baseline for evil. An election between Hitler, Stalin, and Gandhi. High regard (-7) for "them". Eating meat "worse than all genocides and wars in all of history combined".
I feel like Democrats really nailed it about their political opponents. "Weird". It applies to all the weirdo Christian nationalism, and it certainly applies to whatever militant vegan political compass nonsense this is too.

It's easy to villify someone when they...
*Checks notes*
...want to imprison another person for life who has not been convicted of any crime.

I know this is said a lot, but it clearly needs to be said again. The "Free" in FOSS means "Freedom" not "Gratis". You can sell FOSS. You can make money off of FOSS. People do it all the time.

How about we downvote posts we have already seen in the last vew (sp?) months?
You do you. This hasn't been posted here in the past few months, in fact I can't find any record of this being posted here ever, so maybe people are seeing this for the first time?
Wouldn't affect cool memes from years ago.

Drives like this are hermetically sealed with an inert gas like argon or helium on the inside. Even the presence of oxygen and nitrogen molecules can compromise the drive. If dust is getting to the moving parts of your hard drive, it's toast no matter where it's installed.

There's also the matter of scale. Genocide may be genocide, but 11,000,000 > 40,000. Still, 40,000 deaths (that we know of) in Gaza is disgusting and we shouldn't tolerate letting that number grow.

She says "this degrades me, this degrades us", and while I may be misreading what the means here, I interpreted "us" to mean "Black people". Though it is vague wording so I can't say for certain...

Yeah, my first thought was "what a privileged life you've lived if this is the worst you've ever seen".

Look, I'm all about listening to a woman of color explain how something that might seem innocuous to a white man like me might actually be harmful. I'm willing to accept that there are things I don't fully understand and I'm willing to take a different perspective if pressed.
But I can't wrap my head around this one. Elphaba is a fictional character. The movie poster is almost the same as the Broadway playbill. Theatre nerds with photoshop adjusted it as a homage, and understandably so. Hiding beneath the the rim of your hat with a smirk on your face has a much different feel than staring deadpan at the camera. Wicked fans are just expressing their excitement about this movie...
This argument that "covering my eyes erases me and silences my nonverbal communication" just doesn't check out. It's clear why people made that specific adjustment, and to suggest that it was a deliberate attack against the actress is just grasping at straws. This isn't a story about the woman Cynthia Erivo, this is a story about the character Elphaba Thropp, The Wicked Witch of the West. She isn't the first to play Elphaba, and she won't be the last. If she's mad that people see the character she plays and not her, she needs to reconsider her philosophy towards acting, because that kinda the whole point...

It would be so fucking funny if these bitcoins never existed and this is all one big ruse to trick crypto investors into excavating a landfill.

Buddy, the vocal support for Harris from Palestinian groups isn't enough to convince the bad faith actors here. Following the money is literally asking too much of their intellect.

You could try starting those niche communities here instead of giving free content for Spez to monetize.

We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.” >So the goal is “fighting to defeat Harris, not just symbolically but in reality,” Sawant said. “This is ground zero to punish Kamala Harris and defeat her.” >**If you admit Stein can’t win, and you claim Harris must be defeated, then you’re working to elect Donald Trump.**
With this lie escalating to violent threats against the Haitian community, we perhaps need to put a pause on joking about this insidious hoax. They are trying to start a race war, and memes likely aren't helping.

Who is that woman on the right? Are we supposed to recognize her or something?
That "uncensored" HuggingFace Space probably isn't even hooked up to a real GPU. It's just some guy named Bob eager to narrate your sexual fantasies.
