Why does he not consider vegetable oil to be cooking oil?

I don’t need my bank to be powerful, I need it to be secure and follow regulations.

I think even the Musk fanboys wouldn’t trust him with their money.

Israel has found the limit of the blank check the imperial core gave them for revenge.

Killing a journalist and bombing fleeing refugees is crossing the line for people whose sympathy was already wearing thin after a week of relentless air strikes and cutting off food and water.

There’s definitely a stereotypical Jewish appearance. Most Jews in America are ashkenazi, which means they descend from central and Eastern Europe as opposed to Sephardic Jews, who descend from the Iberian peninsula and the Middle East.

Some examples of people who look like Jewish stereotypes:

Nick Kroll

Andy Samberg

Jenny Slate

Ilana Glazer

We share a lot of features with Italians, so there are a lot of people who are assumed to be Jewish but aren’t like Jason Biggs. If you’re in Long Island, you’re going to see a lot of both.

Hope this didn’t come off too race sciencey, I’m also mostly stereotypically Jewish looking. It feels like part of Jewish American culture is being excited when other people are Jewish and surprised when someone looks Jewish but isn’t.

I could also see someone being fired with cause because they were reported to HR for being anti-semitic.

I’d tread very carefully and I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze. You’re unlikely to change any minds in the workplace.

I’m trying to be very careful in how I say this, and I’m not trying to be a debate bro.

I find it triggering to say ALL violence is self-defense. There is no defense for sexual violence.

I can understand killing oppressors and even kidnapping families to gain leverage, but there is no situation that calls for rape and no excuse for it.

I understand that members of the IDF and US military are guilty of this too, and they deserve death.

I understand that you didn’t want to have a bunch of caveats in a blanket statement. I also know this is nothing unique to this conflict and happens in every war, I just think that’s the one area where our support can be critical.

I don’t know if Israel has been around long enough to be inherited by fail-sons, but this seems inevitable in capitalist societies.

I’m so scared for the future and it feels hopeless.

I’m afraid to talk to my friends and family about how bad my mental health is right now because I don’t want them to try to hospitalize me or something.

I just feel like I’ve already experienced the best moments in my life and all I have to look forward to is being a wage slave, debt, and dying alone.

I know that I need to have some kind of purpose to dedicate myself to but I don’t want to do anything. I get so drained from work that I spend all my time off playing video games or watching TV just to recharge so I can make it through the work week. It just feels like a pointless cycle where I work so I can afford treats to make it bearable to work.

My job isn’t even difficult, and it’s remote and pays really well. But it’s so pointless. It’s honestly sickening how much harder people work to actually benefit society for not even half as much. I’m aware that I’m extremely privileged in this regard, but that also makes me feel even more hopeless. If living is this uncomfortable for me, so many more people must feel even worse.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about how scary it will be to get old. My husband is a little older than me and doesn’t take great care of himself, so most likely he will die first. It’s very unlikely that we will have children, and also I think it’s gross to have kids just so you could have caretakers. My siblings are also older. I’m scared to be senile living alone or being abused in a nursing home. I guess it’s possible that we’ll all die a lot younger due to climate change.

I feel like the only things keeping me going are the fear of pain from dying and how my dogs and husband depend on me. I feel like if there was a button I could press to be instantly painlessly dead, I would push it (maybe I should move to Canada?).

I know that my problems are small compared to a lot of people here, and I’m sorry if this post comes across as insensitive. I feel like I just had to get these thoughts out of my head and I really love and appreciate this community. Thank you for listening.

Any criticism of America is a right wing issue when the president is a democrat.

Someone in one of the federation threads posted a screenshot of their comments with negative karma as proof that they were downvoted for comments on Hexbear.

No bro, you could only have downvotes from other federated users, guess your take was that trash.

I would disagree that liberalism only appeals to people who are entirely disengaged.

There are so many passionate and obsessed liberals. People who do canvassing, go to peaceful protests (while criticizing protests that are too disruptive), DVR MSNBC shows, listen to Pod Save guys, etc.

I don’t know if I’m paranoid, but it is so much harder for me to find links for things I’ve seen to share with people.

Googling “Zelensky blonde hair blue eyes bbc” did not bring up anything referencing his sick comments. Only when I added “Twitter” did I find tweets that had clipped it.

I’m not able to find anything about Yemen being attacked recently and the most recent news says that Yemen launched a rocket.

Am I conspiracy-brained, are there just not any sources reporting on anything inconvenient to Western hegemony, or are they being buried by the algorithm?
