Gives tax breaks to landlords

Isn't it wild how this is actually realistic, now?

A few years ago I would have laughed at that absurdity, but then Elon straight up said some shit like "facts!" to antisemitic conspiracy theories and now I'm like...

I swear, if I could afford just a good 2 or so year long break to stabilize my life, I would actually be able to do good and effective work. Instead I feel like I am always just barely scraping by at the edge of my ability, due to being overworked and burnt out.

Your last point is why I feel like what Israel is doing is just straight up illogical, even from a purely selfish point of view. The only thing they are doing here is basically proving Hamas "right" in the eyes of many Gazans, and fueling a fervent desire for revenge. If someone living in Gaza wasn't already a terrorist, they sure as hell are much much more likely to be one now.

Imagine how you would feel if your home and possibly moved ones were bombed like this, losing you everything or nearly everything you hold dear. You lose autonomy over your own life, you lose your independence and rights. I imagine it feels a lot like losing rights as a minority, or something like getting an abortion becoming illegal, turned to the extreme. And these things being threatened to be done to me already cause me to feel strong contempt against the perpetrators. If pushed far enough, things like this would cause me to become a "terrorist", in the sense of being willing to strongly resist it in an attempt to maintain my rights and autonomy.

But of course, whether I would be called a terrorist or not depends on how it's framed, and how much compassion or understanding people would give me. Hell, in the US LGBTQ+ activists, or anti-racist/anti-fascist activists are already called terrorists sometimes.

I really don't understand how unanimous and encouraged this support for Israel is. And then we like to think of ourselves as the good guys, and wonder why others hate us.

It's such an obvious wrong thing, and yet it is supported by most. It's completely absurd.

I wish it was easier to find quality clothes. Nearly every piece of clothing I find has synthetics mixed in.

I would gladly pay a lot more for good, ethical, quality clothes.

And it's wonderful

Being a deviant is a lot of fun

Paying for a service ensures your incentives (mostly) align. Kagi's incentive is to make a good search that makes you want to pay for it, google's incentives are to gather your data to either sell or use themselves, and show you as many ads as possible.

I now think you're hotter

Being vulnerable is hot

While it was funny, it probably is for the best. Especially if a kid uses the system it might legitimately scare the shit out of them lol

I wouldn't be surprised if a kid thought the police was gonna break in now

When it comes to workplaces, you can expect people to deliberately craft a virus and/or try that break into your system specifically. A lot of the world runs on linux, a lot of hackers try to break in to this world.

For personal use it may be true enough to be fine in practice, but it's a very dangerous thing to believe for a professional setting with probably expensive equipment and valuable data.
