The measure, whose approval was greeted with tears of joy and the popping of champagne in the legislative chamber, is a concise legal expression of the core animating idea of modern Israel: that there exists no humane obligation in Jewish tradition with a durable universal ambit. The notion that Jews should have a special concern for the fate of all humanity, regardless of ethnicity or creed, lies dead beneath the rubble in Gaza.

It had to be killed, however, because there was a time when it lived.

It will certainly be the indirect or direct cause of whatever kills me shrugs.

Damn that puts a big ass smile on my face, congrats for getting a new awesome instrument and composition tool!

Apparently soon after it became the neglected responsibility of adults to parent billionaires.

It isn’t like creepy rightwing ultrawealthy men with shadowy connections to pedophiles and other criminals own those companies they are uploading the photos to!

Oh wait…

I trust Sam Altman less than I trust what random internet advertisements say.

Tom Petty is my shield, Irony is my sword.

Fixed it thanks.

Gosh the drugs and homeless people though!

Can we exclusively only see urban issues through that lens please?

I think a better solution is to ban techbros from giving serious economic or cultural advice and take computers away from business majors.

People talk a lot about the protocols that power Bluesky vs. ActivityPub, because we’re nerds and we believe deep in our hearts that the superior protocol will win. This is adorable. It flies in the face of literally all of human history, where the more convenient thing always wins regardless of technical merit. VHS beat Betamax. USB-C took twenty years. The protocol fight is interesting the way medieval siege warfare is interesting — I’m glad someone’s into it, but it has no bearing on my life. There’s no actual plan to self-host Bluesky. Their protocol makes it easier to scale their service. That’s why it was written and that’s what it does. End of story.

So refreshing to see someone call out Bluesky for what it is.

Sometimes when I think about watching porn I feel guilty and bad about myself and then other times I see somebody rejoice in the righteousness of banning porn and I think “This feels good! This is a good thing!” and I pump my fist in rhythm to the speaker as I masturbate to righteousness and self hatred, ah yes this feels deeper and more spiritual than just physically pleasuring myself! Here is our path forward, here is MY path forward :)

I would say the amount of depression, sadness and anxiety I have experienced has carpet bombed my former natural tendency to have an ego about stuff.

Things have been broken deep down in me from it but the silver lining is I don’t obnoxiously over prioritize myself by default!

This is the strategy I would use, pay local bicycle stores to refurbish used bicycles that are fine but not worth much and crash the very bottom of the bicycle market out.

Don’t destroy the “nice bicycle” market just make sure the very bottom of the market is saturated.

Then bicycle theft for commuter/beater bicycles becomes stupid in most cases and local bicycle shops get work too.
