Just a guess, but my guess is that the full text reads "JewsAgainst(Something)", but it got automatically shortened to what you see here

No, the right to bare arms. Like, you can wear a tank top if you wanna

Have you heard of REITs? Rent-seeking capitalists have been working together for decades to speculate on housing. Wealthy people have billions and billions of dollars invested in the status quo, and they are quite interested in maintaining their position of power.

That's not what this is about, though. From the fifth paragraph in the article:

As such, Florida universities are prohibited from using state or federal cash to fund any activities tied to “diversity, equity and inclusion” or “political or social activism,” which carry broad definitions and could apply to a wide range of programs. Schools now are beginning to enact these policies locally.

This isn't about "treating people differently" and it is almost certainly not about race (although it's not lost on me that they waited until the day after Black History Month to announce this change). This is about on-campus activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's about teaching students that America is varied, not monocultural. It's about teaching students that transgender people are just people, not the monsters that Ron DeSantis makes them out to be. It's about broadening perspectives, not enhancing an echo chamber. It's about giving a voice and a platform to non-white, non-male, non-straight, non-cis, and non-wealthy perspectives that have historically been silenced so thoroughly that an entire system of class and privilege was built up around that silence.

Last Epoch is a phenomenal game and was worth every penny years ago--I'm incredibly excited for the 1.0 release. It's got just the right amount of build complexity--if making a Path of Exile build from scratch takes a PhD, then doing it in Last Epoch would be like community college (although there's definitely differences in complexity from class to class).

The developers (Eleventh Hour Games) offer regional pricing, so non-Americans aren't priced out of the game, and although servers for online play will be available based on a cost vs demand basis, it is possible to play the game 100% offline.

If anyone has any questions about the game, let me know!

Can you imagine the rage and the devastation these expectant parents must feel? They have baby rooms decorated. They have baby clothes that they have to decide to either keep forever or eventually get rid of. They've been living in a happy, anxious, exciting whirlwind for the last nine months, and now that has been destroyed and they have to recover from that trauma in an active warzone.

Wherever you think those parents will place the blame for this--Hamas, the IDF, British colonialism, United Nations meddling, or all of the above--think of what the real, systemic victims look like. Think of how it feels to know that your sibling died and if they are ever memorialized, it will be one name among 10,000.

Hamas also told people not to leave the evacuation zone,

then Israel admitted that they bombed a refugee camp in Jabalia, and then they apparently did it again in al-Maghazi, kinda validating what Hamas said

have been using civilians and humanitarian structures as human shields,

I recently typed out this comment in another thread about how we can't trust Israel's word about human shields because of their actions during the Great March of Return in 2017/2018 and how it's a double standard anyways.

and have been shooting at refugees trying to leave

this is the first I've heard this accusation, and a quick google search for "hamas shoots fleeing refugees" and "hamas shoots gazans" didn't turn up any results for me. Do you mind providing a source? FWIW, there is growing evidence that at least some of the October 7th death toll can be attributed to Israeli friendly fire due to a mix of desperation and combat confusion

I wonder how many Palestinians would trust the Israeli government with the health and safety of their babies. The number can't be very high.

It's not, though. It's antagonistic to the patriarchy, sure, just like it's antagonistic to the matriarchy, but "man" and "patriarchy" are two entirely separate concepts.

It's like if a movie came out that criticized the for-profit medical insurance industry in the US and people started saying that it criticized all doctors. That doesn't make any sense, and neither does this

[-] betheydocrime@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

It's not one-sided, though. It argues that both matriarchy and patriarchy are not inclusive ways of operating a society. The movie did not shy away from showing Ken's dissatisfaction living under a matriarchy, just like it did not shy away from showing Gloria and Sasha's dissatisfaction with living under a patriarchy

I'm cautiously hopeful that this is the end of McConnell's leadership
