this is race science bs

??? there are very much brahmins from the south.

apparently they've decided to go after corruption cases even after they've retired - which seems entirely like a positive to me.

what's a Hamas flag?

unfortunately other data is not encouraging , the number of servers is both down since the exodus and in the recent month.

this is normal. we'll go through a lot of similar waves. people start servers, realize they're a lot of work, and then abandon them. servers that foster a healthy community will survive. hexbear's worst cycle involved losing the entire administrative team just weeks after a large percentage of the website left. don't sweat the growing pains - work together to learn, grow, and change.

yeah, it's nice getting to know people here and developing real connections with the people who post most often. the small communities on reddit seem dead lately.

going back to reddit and seeing the upvote/comment counts is always a trip. like I've gotten so used to getting excited about 40 upvotes and 20 comments that it's jarring. the signal to noise ratio on reddit is so bad.

oh interesting. I wasn't aware of that. thanks!

scaling sort thing? do you have a link describing what you mean?

the British took over Palestine from the Ottomans, suppressed decolonization movements, then partitioned it to form Israel. during the formation of the Israeli state, Palestinians were slaughtered and driven out of their homes in an event known as the Nakba - which translates as "The Catastrophe". since then, there have been a series of wars resulting in the slow but steady encroachment of the Israeli state - look ip maps of the region over the decades - and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. in such an atmosphere, nothing but mutual hate is possible.

it was a concerted strategy on the part of the republicans who made anti-abortion policy a cornerstone of their platform while convincing pastors to preach about how it was a sin.

"hearing out all sides" somehow invariably turns into siding with whoever controls the most capital - I wonder how that happens.
