To add to other answers you've received, Germany's suppression of pro-Palestine protest has included Jewish anti-zionist activists. It is convenient for Israel if they can perpetuate the idea that the Jewish people are synonymous with Israel, and that anti-zionism = antisemitism. Jewish anti-zionists severely disrupt this idea, and the fact that Germany has taken action against people like this is quite revealing about priorities.

An illustrative example of what I mean is Udi Raz, a Jewish activist who was arrested in Germany . Suppression of voices speaking in solidarity with Palestine has been happening in many countries, but Germany seems to be going extra heavy on this, likely because of a misplaced sense of duty following the Holocaust.

This is horrifying and impressive in equal measure. Thanks for sharing, OP

Whilst I share your disdain at the corporatization of pride, I do feel like this is concerning in a "canary in the coal mine" kind of way.

I share your frustration. I went nuts about this the other day. It was in the context of searching on a discord server, rather than Google, but it was so aggravating because of the how the "I know better than you" is everywhere nowadays in tech. The discord server was a reading group, and I was searching for discussion regarding a recent book they'd studied, by someone named "Copi". At first, I didn't use quotation marks, and I found my results were swamped with messages that included the word "copy". At this point I was fairly chill and just added quotation marks to my query to emphasise that it definitely was "Copi" I wanted. I still was swamped with messages with "copy", and it drove me mad because there is literally no way to say "fucking use the terms I give you and not the ones you think I want". The software example you give is a great example of when it would be real great to be able to have this ability.

TL;DR: Solidarity in rage

The kids near the end were pretty cute. Their demeanor is weird in the way that I often see in kids who have been given a Task that they are taking seriously. It's cute

The early-mid game is one of my favourite gaming experiences of all time. It's usually the most part of a survival/crafting game, but I was surprised by how well Subnautica was peppered intrigue.

As you and many others on this thread have said though, a mobile port seems odd. Even if the UI were reworked, I can't imagine that players would be able to feel the same sense of awe that I associate with the game.

Having known people who prefer supplements to actual medical care, I can attest to "megadosing" of vitamins being common in these communities.

"Her discussion of media and news is maybe not as relevant here but still pretty on point in my experience."

I remember being surprised how much I enjoyed her video about Star Trek: Picard, given that it was a multiple hour long rant video — it's amazing how much difference it makes for someone to be engaging in good faith criticism

The legal battle was a civil suit, based more on the violations of Kate Wilson's human rights, than on the legality of actions

I saw a post recently that your comment reminds me of. It said something like "leftists are often more concerned about not doing anything wrong than they are about doing something good". Along those lines, I agree with both your point and the message of the OP — that it is important now more than ever to actually do something. Mass action is more powerful than individual perfection

I pressured a friend of mine into watching Andor; they were reluctant because they knew very little of Star Wars, but they loved it. Andor pulls off the impressive feat of making something that's enjoyable to Star Wars fans and casuals/non-fans alike

"Markov Babble" would make a great band name
