For some of us, life will get back on track, with the petrifying fear of an imminent repeat. And for some of us, life won't get back on track. Those people will walk among us like the living dead. That's what we voted for. That's how it is. We need to get used to the sad reality in our homeland.

IT IS NOT YOUR FUCKING HOMELAND YOU GENOCIDAL SHITBAG. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE EYES DOESN'T MAKE YOU WORTH A DAMN.

From the river to the sea, asshole.

I would really love to hear what this person thinks could be done in the source code to achieve that. Or for that matter how exactly "the fediverse" currently has the "ability to 'manage' them" lmao

I had to look at the article to confirm that wasn't a bit. Holy fuck how is people destroying fossil fuel infrastructure such a terrifying prospect that you don't want to live to see it?

Yeah and the broader point is an important one; it won't be too long before the impacts of this shift are very obvious in the marketplace. The US is under enormous pressure to get things back to normal, but the guy in charge is more pro-:isntrael: than Reagan, so I don't see any way that can happen.

Ok you asked, so I'll answer. A trans woman is a woman, full stop. A lesbian woman is a woman who is only interested in fellow women. There is no contradiction there whatsoever, and it's actually a form of transphobia to think that there is. Most of us have learned transphobia from the society around us, so it's important to recognize it and stamp it out when it crops up.

Also, people's identities are important; trying to ignore them is a form of retreat used by reactionaries to avoid having to grow socially.

They're worth a whole lot more than you, anyway

You realize threads like this are just catnip for us, right?

Your day-to-day life...on the massive globally interconnected computer network shared by everyone worldwide who has the means to connect to it? You didn't expect to see an opinion held by well over 1 billion people on that network, ever?

You thought no Chinese people supported the One China Policy? Seriously?

So...you thought sharing a common language precluded having differing opinions? That's kinda astonishing, ngl
