Do you have a Take? We need Takes, not just comments.

immaculate conception,

This term doesn't mean what you think it means. Jesus' conception is called the Incarnation. "Immaculate Conception" refers to Mary being conceived without original sin, it's something only Catholics believe in.

Was just randomly looking at https://www.cervantesvirtual.com/obra-visor/oraculo-manual-y-arte-de-prudencia--0/html/fedb3724-82b1-11df-acc7-002185ce6064_2.html and was caught off guard by the use of the letter ç to represent the sound of z. Also noticed a few words spelled with an i instead of y like how it says "rei" instead of "rey."

A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors, if you even care.

Alex Honnold made it BTW so it worked.

I feel like nightmares in media often involve a monster of some sort, but IME nightmares tend to be more grounded and involve someone I know personally doing something bad.

Hear, hear.

Every authoritarian government has its supporters, without they would never survive.

And that's the thing: those people are absolutely maddening to argue with. In Gaza, the war crimes were (and still are being) live streamed, and the question was how is there still any doubt. Some of those same people see videos of the protests and the people identifying bodies in makeshift morgues and somehow argue their way around it.

I hope the protesters are successful. I know a Syrian family who fled the war. I coincidentally met some of them on their shift the day the Assad regime was toppled. One of them said, "we can breathe now". Meanwhile in the middle of the city the people were celebrating. It's hard to describe how happy I felt for all of them.

When you're kinda worried what the state of your country is gonna be like after your pro-democracy protests topple the regime and your homie says, "Hey, look at how great the Syrians have it!"

Came across this because of the other thread @LemmySlopSkimmer@hexbear.net posted. This user is the lowest Nazi garbage, yet claims to be a leftist with good intentions.

What is the “right” way for Palestinians to resist Israel? How should they fight back? Please, paint a picture for me in a way that shows how they can effectively stop Israel from killing more people, and stealing ever more land, until the Palestinians have been completely wiped out.

Response from goat cw extreme Zionism and imperialism apologia, SV

don’tremoved, don’t carry out terrorism on innocent civilians

The right way was using the internet and global attention, which Palestine was doing, raising awareness of how they are suffering and gaining sympathy for it. They should’ve adopted more Western ideals, or maybe liberalism, encourage foreigners to come and stay. The West Bank and Gaza near Rafah were also doing decently well in terms of growth, labelling itself as a trendy tourist destination.

Unfortunately, Hamas decided thatremoved women and killing innocent civilians was a better method of resistance, even going so far as to film themselves carrying out the massacre and taking hostages – Which incurred the Israeli military and ended up with Gaza being turned to rubble. Sure, people are much more aware of Palestine now, but only the most radical of “progressives” think Israel can be defeated and that Palestine can do no wrong. These people are vocal minorities and hold no power.

The whole relationship between Israel and the US isn’t as buddy-buddy as people think it is. Israel previously attacked US forces and regularly threatens US personnel. No clue what goes on behind the scenes, but clearly Israel has something major on the US, or the US sees Israel as a base for Middle-East operations and considers the chaos that comes with it as a necessary sacrifice. Or maybe it’s both, or maybe it’s neither.

No he didn't! very-smart read up and agitate.

AmeriKKKa has kidnapped a democratically elected leader, and most nation states (even left wing LatAm governments) are too afraid to call him what he is. Don't give the imperialists an inch.

Incredibly sober. I'm happy to see they didn't leave room to call this antisemitic and focused almost entirely on the victims of the genocide, with choice words about the nature and humanity of evil.

I can't believe I'm asking this again, but were there any drugs in his system? Preexisting conditions? I wish for a speedy end to his condition, but we all should keep in mind he was no saint.

Help I'm new to settler colonialism, is it bad when I'm fighting a war on 3 fronts and have 2 separate domestic uprisings in a week?

Americans spend all their lives obsessing over guns then miss their shot. The most useless people on earth.

We're stuck in a demented good cop bad cop routine and the dems have upped the ante. Their line is effectively now, "vote for us so Trump doesn't use the tools we specifically gave him because we knew how scared you'd be." Except the dems are using those tools right now, to defend their genocide. Bleak.
