On two separate occasions last week, I was approached by a stranger who told me I look good. Pretty much nothing is going right in my life so at least vanity is workable as a last stronghold between me and the void.

Letting this dude put you off something is just as pathetic as letting him put you onto something.

I don't think you understood the prompt

Is there anything iphones can do besides scroll social media? Every time I hear about some cool new capability of phones this caveat is always present.

Uhhh probably just wallowing in misery like usual

Let's be honest, I think 90% of people are truly undateable. We just let our sex drive distract us from that.

My guy, us jews never had good will with anyone. We have always been used as tokens for politican leverage. Our tendency to form insular communities and be secretive is a survival strategy selected for by the extensive history of governments using us as a lever and then disposing of us once we are no longer useful.

Also, you write as if you think I support Israel, as if I have some personal stake in the success of this genocide when I explicitly stated I'm against it. To be quite honest, it comes off as anti-semitic when you clearly have a deep well of anger and you're just waiting to unload on the first jew you see. I'll say it again, I am strictly anti-Israel. Do you think you're saying anything to me that I haven't already heard a thousand times? Do you think that I don't already agree with you? Guess what... I do agree with you, but I don't agree with your strategy of lobbing anger at anyone who doesn't have their mind shut to the nuance of the situation. I wish you would take a step back and think about what's driving you to act this way. I don't think that you think you're spreading awareness here, changing people's minds, or anything of that sort. Dopamine-seeking political vitriol is harmful for society. The people who really call the shots when it comes to this shit have weaponized social disconnectivity against us and when you let loose like this, you are playing directly into their hand.

Us jews don't really have a universal symbol of our faith. Israeli flag doesn't automatically equal zionism in my mind. It's a bit different now, but especially when I was growing up, all my peers and I viewed said flag the same way we view the cross. At the very least, it shouldn't be an invitation for property damage.

The topic is highly nuanced. I know this is lost on almost everyone. I fear I'll be mistaken as a zionist for expressing any viewpoint that isn't aggressively one-sided, so let me state explicitly: I am strongly against Israel.

The vandalism has to fucking stop though. I paint over multiple swastikas and maliciously-drawn stars of David on a daily fucking basis. I have probably painted over 100 such instances since this shit popped off. It feels a lot like a threat at this point. I covered 2 swastikas and 4 stars of david YESTERDAY. I don't feel safe in my city cause of this shit.

Do you mean to suggest that videogames are for children? I don't really see where you're coming from here.

People are so used to megacorporations controlling what specific software they can run on their general-purpose computers that they are now... in favor of it? Every day it seems more and more the case that Apple's anti-sideloading propaganda is successful.

I'd be drunk for as long as it took for me to lose consciousness and have my stomach pumped
