OG Nazis experienced the same thing. Killing people on en masse mentally fucks with your head, even if the individuals you kill are perceived as vermin/degenerates. This is why they moved on to using other means that is more dehumanizing i.e. pressing a button for the gas chamber

I think this should be reinforced. If your name isn’t Christian then you can’t celebrate Christmas :(

That’s reddit. They don’t want their users to bleed and the mods that are left are scabs. It will be similar with other sites and it can feel like spam. The best thing you can do is populate the lemmy with HP info and hope it kicks off one day

When I was growing up, a lot of queer kids loved HP. There is a literal potion in the books that completely changes you to another person, including sex. I know a lot of millenial trans people who were able to come out referencing that potion and scene and how they could relate or wish they had that potion.

Imo, the books aren’t that good. For elementary and middle schoolers, sure, but I don’t think JK Rowling is a good author or world builder. I believe the IP/franchise relied heavily on the audience and Rowling backstabbed her queer fans. The same goes for the new game. It’s more open world drivel and I think the only way it got this big is because idiots kept talking about it.

With all of that said, having a community on lemmy that is about Harry Potter, and they are clearly pro-trans/queer, leftists/progressives, and ban any alt-right shitters then that is very good and powerful. It’s so powerful to get more HP fans in more leftist spaces so they can incept those ideas.

Deflecting again? Sure i didn’t use the right term but the meaning of what i said is the same. Israel wants to flatten Gaza and if they can carpet bomb it they would.

I am glad Israel doesn’t negotiate with Hamas and has decided to carpet bomb and glass Gaza.

Btw, how much video of the IDF fighting Hamas are there? It’s been over 100 days of fighting. I swear we’d have so much video of the IDF fighting Hamas.

Any fix on the Youtube side of things without clearing watch history?

Why would you do that to your dogs?!

Thank god most of us have some sense and awareness to differentiate actions “in the name of the free world” from good and bad actors. Clearly this is from good actors as Putin is clearly an enemy of the free world. Saying otherwise means ignorance or being bad faith.

I haven’t heard about this either. I don’t watch TV, I am not on social media, and I have ad block.

Horrible script but great acting. If Affleck was younger I’d want to see him take the mantle properly

For those curious, they have it (or at least parts of it) on display in the facility you can see.

Google is not your friend when it keeps regurgitating AI generated articles and images. They aren’t your friend when the only way you can get “reliable” information is by appending ‘reddit’ at the end. They aren’t your friend when you search with clear terms and tags the suggested articles they present are recent $$$$$ boosted ones instead of clearly the popular article that broke the event.

They aren’t self aware to ask that.

Is IC individual contractor in context?

They have the same minimalist look now so that makes sense. When I was scrolling I saw the colors and general design of this post and it looked like something reddit do. When i stopped and focused on the post I saw it was Discord.

It’s same recycled design every tech company goes for now.

This is just how language evolved. It is a human phenomena. The slang you picked up was also adapted from other phrases that someone of the older generation will deem more correct.

Right? If they cared they wouldn’t have attacked.

The median age of Palestinians is 18 which means more than half weren’t alive for the vote of Hamas. Now, Hamas has dismantled any democracy so they can’t even take a diplomatic route. And Israel keeps bombing them making sure they continue the system of oppression which in turn spawns more radicals.

You are making excuses because you have vacuumed out all the nuance to this. You are ignoring the third party in this situation which are the Palestinians, the victims in all this. You say Israel is more evil, and that Israel has more power here, and you still relinquish their control and influence of this situation. You are effectively saying, “hey, as long as both sides don’t change leaders keep doing what you are doing!” This can’t be said and done when Israel is actively committing a genocide.

I’ve shown you already how easy it is to condemn both sides but hold enough poise and nuance to understand supporting the Palestinians has nothing to do with supporting Hamas. I’ve explained the reasons why this situation has occurred. Let me emphasize again:

A genocide is occurring in Palestine. A genocide is occurring in Palestine.* Once again for those in the back, a genocide is occurring in Palestine. A genocide purported by Israel, a genocide in which they have all control and power in stopping.

By doing what I stated. You remove the conditions for extremism to exist to make Hamas as unfavorable as possible. Then Israel can help host an election making it as fair as possible so a proper representative of their people can be elected. If there is enough favorability, good will, and no hopelessness, then hopefully Palestine will elect a better representative. This may take generations though.

If there is no reason to follow and support Hamas, then there is no reason for it to exist.
