Do one maleshep run. I promise he has some great deliveries too.

You’re talking about American presidential candidates?

Why would you feel better about the USA when the USA are who have fostered, enabled and defended these attitudes for 70 years now?

Please understand you live in a different reality to the rest of us, one where “Emiratis” had spent 70 years have their land and lives stolen before being “denazified”, one where Saudi Arabia is a model to aspire to and definitely don’t use violence to pursue their aims, one where Palestinians were somehow radicalised by anything other than the actions of Israel and Zionism.

Yeah it’ll all blow over eventually once “Hamas” is gone.

If you’re from the UK I’m guessing you’re under 30 right?

Britain’s cycle of exterminating Irish nationalists every generation and being surprised when the next generation hates you too would be familiar otherwise.

I don’t know if you get this, but the Netherlands and Australia Britain are different societies. Who do you think is lying?

Do you think all these people work for Mr Olympic or something? What don’t you get?

Uh, yeah. And there’s absolutely no soft g sound in what he says. The word clearly ends in a hard sound.

Unless you hear him pronouncing it with a hard G, I don’t know how you can hear college. It ends with a hard sound (voiced plosvie).

To me it actually sounds like co-ed because there’s definitely a c/k at the start and d at the end, and a blustering moron’s mouth noises in the middle, but I don’t see how they get from that to college and I do see how you get from that to coloured. Why he wouldn’t own “co-ed” I don’t know because sounding like a behind the times old white dude is very much their brand

Oh man you’re going to love revisiting this post this time next year. Smile for the screenshot!

So just to be clear, because there is a situation where literal fascists might win (which you believe is bad… right?), you feel aggrieved at the not-actual-fascists for this scenario arising. Which is understandable! As a person in a country that is a real democratic republic, I would hate for the less-bad option to be able hold my vote hostage or be punished for a third party vote.

But to follow the logic then that as a result you are motivated to let literal fascists win (which is… bad?)…

To what end? To see the establishment DNC face another humiliation, which will make you feel very vindicated for 3 months… before an actual fascist assumes more power than any American president has ever had before?.. To destroy the capitalist American empire with the expectation that the American people will forget 100 years of propaganda and suddenly realise collectivism is the way to go?

The issue is taking a broad concept and making it mean a very specific one instead.

(Please note I am an atheist that lived for years in a “Muslim country”. I don’t actually agree with any of the below, but understanding what words are intended to mean is important when you are surrounded by their use in 2 different contexts).

Fatwa: a Sharia law ruling by an imam

Fatwa (western): a ruling by an imam that a person is not protected by the law and therefore a target for assassination

Hijab: men and women of Islam should maintain a sense of visual propriety in order to avoid devaluing what can be seen in private.

Hijab (western): that cloth Islamic women wear on their head.

Jihad: the righteous struggles that each human faces to choose a difficult path for good reasons.

Jihad (western): a holy war of aggression against infidels

As opposed to the person with diametrically opposite views to you, yes.

You remember how that story ends right?

Israel makes no such distinction. It offers citizenship based purely on religious affiliation. Is Benjamin Mileikowsky counted as Middle-Eastern because daddy went to university in the Middle East?

Justifying and explaining are not the same thing

Yeah I agree, it seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?

Yeah I agree, it feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.

> when you don’t read to the end of the bible so you don’t know why the US really wants Israel to exist
