One of my friends is a type I diabetic. He had some sort of smart thingamajig in his teenage years for measuring blood sugar, so you could monitor it over time or warn your family if you’re in some critical situation.

The jester may mean simply to prank, but they may well have blood on their hands if they fuck up medical devices such as that one.

A boycott or strike with an end date is seldom effective.

See for instance Reddit

Not American, but at least a few do. And they’re exporting it. My old English teacher back when I lived in the Dominican Republic was an American missionary who taught to fund her religious activities. Guess what beliefs about science and politics she was spreading along with her beliefs about baptism of the spirit?

Life is like a fairy tale. Unfortunately it was written by Germans.

Another day of thanking my past self for leaving

When you have an unflushable turd, you need a plumber ;)

I dunno man, they seem to hyperfixate on the death penalty and “law and order” a little too much.

They probably see it as a good thing. Another dirty crook off the face of the Earth.

Holy shit they made SCP-2875 a real thing

I cared before too. There is a difference between passively engaging in BDS and pouring your heart and soul into a movement.

Edit: I felt the need to elaborate.

For a very long time I followed the boycott and donated what I could. Genocide is atrocious, but what else could I do? I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere; There weren’t exactly any movements nearby I could get involved in.

I then saw a man from bumfuck nowhere drive all the way to the Israeli Embassy and burn himself alive. I realised there was a whole lot of things I could do.

I also moved to Ireland, so I got a lot more opportunities to act on my sentiments.

I remember. That shit shook me for weeks. Sometimes I still think of his burning body.

Burning yourself won’t stop Israel, sure. But it gets people involved. It got me involved.

My old family home got burgled back in high school. Some things of value were stolen, though luckily nothing sentimental.

What was worth more than the stolen money was that I no longer felt safe in my own home. I couldn’t sleep well for a long time after that. I felt like I was sleeping out in the open. Sometimes I would hear a noise and jolt up and spend a whole hour trying to see if I could spot something weird on the camera feed (we installed CCTV).

They’re calling Musk a tourist

Yes. The Americans ask this on every form for who knows what reason.

A compound in Texas run by an ultraconservative who loves guns is an American tradition

I mean, that’s how cotton is produced nowadays too, except Uyghurs are the ones doing it.

I do, actually!

I love FreeDOS and occasionally use it, and not just for vidya.

Windoze must die! Long live DOS!

Twitter is not a free platform. It actively suppresses the voices of the left and protects the far right.

I do sincerely support free speech. I think it looks a lot more like the Fediverse than Twitter.
