How do you feel about people who are not LBGT+ advocating for LBGT+ rights?

distantsounds ,

Cool, now what about people speaking up about an active genocide? Isn’t genocide worse? I’m sure the families dying feel rather unsafe…

I doubt either the victims of either (LGBT+ and Palestinians) aren’t wishing away outside support

distantsounds ,

Oh please, none of that tracks. You mean the unverifiable single Palestinian?

Good luck with your gymnastics and propaganda

Reminds me of developing with time zone considerations 15-20years ago

Hitler didn’t make it to 80. It’d be nice if trump took that note

soft, but at what cost #BDS 🇵🇸 ( lemmy.cafe )

Ahava Cosmetics, bought by Chinese conglomerate Fosun in 2016, runs its production site, visitor center, and main store in an illegal Israeli settlement in occupied Palestinian territory. Known for extracting minerals from the Dead Sea for cosmetics, Ahava has been a key target of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and...

It was Biden’s America that has been suppling the arms that has escalated and enabled the untold suffering, right?

distantsounds ,

Most of America: I don’t want either. Why are we dividing the country up like this?

distantsounds ,

If Biden does win, I fully expect he won’t make it all 4 years and Harris will have to step up. What a messy future

distantsounds ,

I absolutely agree, but doubt that will happen or even matter. The choices have already been made for us

distantsounds ,

I’m with you in that trump is bad, and I will do what is needed when it comes time to vote to make sure he is not president again. BUT all that you listed is still not worse than the genocide of over 35,000 people. All Biden needs to do is stop spending our tax dollars in support of this ethnic cleansing

distantsounds ,

What?! I know the US healthcare system is totally fucked and no potential president running this year is going to fix it, but when did the healthcare system start using 2,000 pound bombs and begin ethnically cleansing?

distantsounds ,

Yes, there is a difference. Even in this completely insane “death panels” hypothetical situation, I still would not stand with genocide.

distantsounds ,

I absolutely don’t think Trump is preferable. I would like Biden to stop using my tax dollars to fund this genocide. That has nothing to do with trump

distantsounds ,

It’s an arbitrary percentage they came up with in 2000. It should be lower, and it’s not like they stick closely to their own made up rules.

Lowering the percentage would be another step toward breaking this ridiculous 2 party system.

distantsounds ,

Hard disagree. He has the possibility to siphon off enough trump voters to maybe give Biden a way to win. We also didn’t have two 80 year olds on stage back then. The people deserve debate edit: this even if all we are allowed to add is someone with a starved-dead worm in their brain.

distantsounds ,

There is no way he’s pulling anyone away from Biden lol Especially at this point considering Biden’s stance on Israel. AND yes, the society should see what state the “democracy” is in, it’s the only way for people to maybe get the hint that the current system is broken and needs to be fixed.
Edit: if debates don’t have effect on outcomes, why would it even matter then? lol

distantsounds , (edited )

That’s from December of last year lol AND are we all accepting poll from Monmouth university as facts? lol

distantsounds ,

Again, are we considering polls to be counted as factual? Especially pre-dead-worm-in-brain announcement? Polling is inaccurate and the current methods of capture are outdated and don’t offer a reflective sample. Polls are not something you can say are factual

distantsounds OP , (edited )

But there are cat treats to make up for it!!

AHWOOO

distantsounds OP ,

He’ll just tap me on the face for the most part if I’m sleeping and breathe his gross cat breath in my face lol…or squeak his paws on the bedroom door mounding. Like nails on a chalkboard which he is fully aware of. This guy is very reserved but articulate when it comes to vocalizing. With the exception that every unexpected pat/(pet) is met with a “murraahh!” 11 years on & it still makes me chuckle

distantsounds OP ,

He’s a gem

distantsounds ,

It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be revealed since the administration put another arms transfer, consisting of 3,500 bombs of up to 2,000 pounds each, on hold this month.

With bombs that size, they want the casualties.

distantsounds ,

The number only went down because the bodies weren’t identified, the number is still 35,000+ and didn’t go down. Even if that number was cut in half it would be completely unacceptable.

‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks ( www.theguardian.com )

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road....

As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....

Sign up for email lists to smaller venues (<1000 capacity) and check out the bands getting booked. Also, sign up for record label mailings, indie labels tend to have bands with similar vibes. Spotify and algorithm recs are not the way to go

distantsounds , (edited )

I live in a major city so I have many choices, but realistically it works for any nearby city with hip smaller bands that you like. Not everything is great but it's pretty easy to dial in your tastes by venue and labels. If you aren't getting enough to check with that, just add another city's venues. See who's playing & check them out on bandcamp/youtube/etc...then go see them live. Lee's Place is dope, I caught several shows there when I contracting, but that was 7-8 years ago

distantsounds OP ,

We deserve that debate. it's the least they could do

distantsounds ,

On the other hand, I can't get too broken up about a parade of white people in sombreros and sarapes celebrating a holiday Mexicans don't care much about.

This is incredibly far from reality. There is a massive Mexican American population in Chicago. If you think it’s white people in sombreros, you are very much mistaken. This comment hurt more than it should.
