I mean, voting blue no matter who is still in my best interest.

I hate it and it sucks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

It says BOOG, as in boogaloo, as in Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo

Well his number is right there, someone can give him a call...

How many Kias can possibly be sold on a Wednesday morning, in Indiana

Apparently it is not the standard design for an Indiana plate, so it must be a custom. Plus, the chances of randomly getting BOOG88 have got to be pretty small.

yep, they call it "being crypto" or "hiding their power level"

Sure, I'm not saying this is smoking gun proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, but at the same time, it would be one hell of a coincidence.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way

abbotsbury OP ,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks! I doubt I'll get a response or find out anything that happens, but hopefully this asshole at least needs to replace their plates.

The probability of getting BOOG88 is the same as any other random series, but the chances of getting a random series that also has two extremist dogwhistles is very small

>This is what Israel is using white phosphorus for, but the article is biased and never mentions it

<After rights groups accused Israel of war crimes for its use of white phosphorus in its 2008-09 Gaza offensive, the Israeli military said it would stop using it as smokescreen munitions in built-up areas, with unspecified exceptions.

The US and many other countries use white phosphorus based smoke munitions too, and it is not a war crime

That is true, but using it as an incendiary weapon in civilian areas is.

If you don't like Al Jazeera, here's another source.

Well it's based on a fact, iirc the real thing is domesticated cats learn to keep their kitten mew because humans respond to it, nothing to do with imitating human babies. But that does mean that only cats raised by people meow.

There is a bit of a midpoint between elite accreditation and University of Phoenix

@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

I'm just repeating the phrasing in your post

@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

All universities sell accreditation

If they think religion needs protection, they are easily manipulated.

none of that has anything to do with what I said, go seethe about democrats on your blog, I don't care what your 5th grade teacher said because it has nothing to do with democratic policies

abbotsbury ,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

It's not a strawman when there are always people saying Dems are the same as Reps.

abbotsbury ,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

I think the center is actually saying “yes, we need more social policies but let’s not jump into communism and ‘0h work week’ anti-work shit please”. That’s it.

There are zero Democrats advocating for communism and 0h work weeks, so that doesn't really make sense

There's something simple here all right, but it's not the math.

Getting rid of one party in a First Past The Post system would result in another party taking its place. Barring any mention of reforming how elections are held in America, it is not reasonable to assume someone advocating for dissolving one party wants the remaining party to be the only party.

everything from 1967 can be called obscure

Dude, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out in 1967.

That graph is what sold me on the concept of socialism, the only way for everyone to benefit from increased productivity is if everyone has a stake in the means of production.

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? Dare I say the quintessential Superman story.

The Proteus arc of Uncanny X-Men, while not as popularly know as Dark Phoenix or Days of Future Past, the Proteus issues are a trippy and engaging story from the classic Claremont/Byrne era of X-Men.

Not every anti-capitalist is a tankie, this meme didn't try to excuse any atrocity

  1. Playing apologist? They are comparing two countries, if one comes up short, well maybe it needs some changes. This applies in both directions.

  2. I don't care for e-drama, this meme isn't tankie.

If you aren't part of at least three mutual aid groups providing mesh support in your tri-county area, I don't wanna hear a goddamn thing about the revolution from you.

abbotsbury ,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

For sure. If you want to break the chains of international capitalism, you better have a tested plan to replace those logistics networks for necessities.

abbotsbury ,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

Metaphor. I mean you should not only be supporting your own community, but involved in inter-community aid and organization if you are truly advocating for a revolution.

  • Leaning too heavily into Israel and siding with genocide.

  • Leaning too heavily against, and being accused of being pro-Hamas.

So the choices are siding with genocide, and merely being accused of being pro-Hamas?

Seems like a clear choice, since accusations of being pro-Hamas get flung around for merely wanting to genocide Palestinians just more slowly.
