It's not the IRL as such, it's the presence of freedom fighters from the axis of resistance that would make it less appealing. But that's because usually racism and anti-Semitism go hand in hand, it's not 100% correlation ofc.

Yeah shit like that post is why I think an IRL flag burning by Hamas or other resistance fighters is the correct emoji

Where do you see me giving a fuck about the feelings of Zionists? I think my position is very clear - it's not concerns around anti semitism of the flag, it's the literal use by anti semites that's my concern. Just because there's a genocide isn't an excuse to accommodate racist wreckers. Let's make it hard for them and at the same time glaze the axis of resistance fighters

I could swear there was a poster two weeks ago basically complaining for an israel-cool emoji that was really on the border of anti-Semitism, but maybe I'm misremembering that one. Still, see my main post, I think including armed fighters burning a flag is more anti-zionist and less likely to attract anti-semites

See my main post. I want to see an IRL flag surrounded by fighters which would probably piss Zionists off more

Reading the thread I have come to a synthesis. hegel

We have an emoji of the flag being burned. However we use an IRL act by fighters in the axis of resistance. I feel like the freak racists/anti-semites who might derive pleasure from the burning star of David would be less cool with the members of Hamas/another group surrounding the burning flag.

I should say I'm also fine with just the standard emoji, but I just don't like the idea of having something anti-semites might enjoy using. Making it cooler through the presence of armed resistance members would be a side effect.

Also would likely trigger Zionists even harder, which could be an added bonus.

I have 0 input on the bans

I love this emoji.

Also real shit, I think the compromise position is an IRL Israeli flag being burned by freedom fighters as an emoji, which would have the added effect of being less appealing to the anti-semites who derive pleasure from the star of David being burned. Be sure to have the members of Hamas/axis of resistance org of source in the emoji.

I literally don't care about the flag burning, just don't want to give an inch to anti-semites either.

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

Honestly I like this idea much better because it requires the freak anti-semites to embrace the struggle of resistance directly. Could we possibly have a jumbo sized IRL burning by the fighters in the region instead of standard emoji?

Something big like dprk-soldier

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

That was because that Israel is cool, comrade.

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago (13 children)

we have had literal anti-semites try to sneak their shit into this site under the guise of anti-semitism

(I assume you meant anti-zionism comrade). This is my only concern about the emoji, full stop. We do also have idf-cool , which I think avoids the anti-Semitic catnip. I really just think the fact an anti-semite was very excited to get the emoji gives me pause.

Umamusume and Death Stranding 2

Kojima the GOAT. I'm currently in chapter 13 and shit is so great

 
 

Laid off for like a week for stupid fucking reasons.

Capitalism cannot end soon enough.

The axe finally hit. This shit sucks, and while there's a chance I might get rehired in a few weeks (the reason is "budgets" and there's a change in the budget coming that might save my job), this still sucks.

Any comrades here have an in with Hasan? I could get some reps from my union on his stream to talk about this -- it's the California budget specifically that's impacting me, and so might be relevant for his stream (and I might be able to leverage some anti-gruesome sentiment to my benefit).

Either way, love you all. Going to spend the coming weeks applying to jobs, and once I have something I might finally be able to play Death Stranding 2. But until I'm employed again, it's no fun just work. Fuck this society.

 

Some crossover with /c/neurodivergent here. Got diagnosed with ADHD this year and have been on Concerta for a month or so now. I think it's helping overall. However, I used to drink about 20oz of coffee a day, and now that I'm on stimulants, I'm cutting back some (the full intake would likely make me way too jittery - I accidentally drank a bit much one day and it was.... wired). At the most I'm making 2 aeropresses in the morning.

I got myself a nice-ish entry hand grinder -- the goal here is to enjoy the cups that I have more. I was wondering if any of y'all had good setups for the Zapatista blend. A lot of the coffee snob stuff online is for lighter roasts, and I know that's probably not our commie coffee. I started making this one today and it seems like a nice starting point, but for those who know more how might you tweak this? Do you have your own setups you enjoy? I'm not gonna invest any more into gear ATM (if I'm not laid off though, I'm gonna get a moccamaster and a nicer electric grinder for when I have company), but any aeropress suggestions?

Also, general coffee thread. I can say I'm already making better coffee than my AIO batch brew setup, but that's no surprise.

Remembered this today and thought of you all. I watched it back when it came out, and figured in case you haven't checked it out, you should.

Technically there's spoilers in the video (each episode's OP "recaps" material), but also, it won't make much sense until you get to that point.

Baccano! remains a truly goated show. One of the best uses of time structure to foreshadow and "backshadow" that I've seen. Also, Isaac and Miria are truly enjoyable characters -- it's a very fun show that's worth your time.

 

I love shit like this. Symphony + is a genre I'm always there for

 

How I feel every day as more and more our humanity is destroyed by AI slop.

I guess my students can all get "A"s now for using fake quotes and fake sources, it's good enough for the Tribune!

It feels right for this moment in May

 

I'm sorry, so fucking angry. Students with sources that don't exist. Students with sources that exist but then the quotation doesn't exist.

I'm so fucking mad, because it's extra work for me (that I'm sure as hell not getting compensated for), and it also entirely defeats the purpose of the fucking class (it's writing/research, so like, engaging in a discipline and looking at what's been written before on your topic, etc.)

Kill me please. Comrades, I'm so tired. I just want to teach writing. I want to give students a way to exercise agency in the world -- to both see bad arguments and make good ones. They don't care. I'm so tired.

BTW, I took time to look up some of these sources my student used, couldn't find the quotes they quote, so told them the paper is an "A" if they can show me every quotation and failing otherwise. Does this seem like a fair policy (my thought is -- no matter the method, fabrication of evidence is justification for failing work)?

Anyone else playing this?

https://campaigntrailshowcase.com/campaign-trail/?modName=1969-1972

I cleared as Bobby for Act 1 against both Rockefeller and Agnew by ending Vietnam. I play as "Liberal Nixon", unfortunately allying with the south a bit (though not actively doing anti-black stuff), but passing anti-poverty legislation and also ending the war.

I need to play as the Republicans to see if there's an Act 2 unlock at some point.
