Yes, absolutely. Antisemitism is pretty much the classical case for an entire group of people getting lumped together, othered, and loaded with all sorts of negative stereotypes that are then used as justification for actions against them.

The point I wanted to contribute is that the state of Israel and its various advocacy groups have contributed significantly to this by continually arguing in bad faith that any criticism of their behavior is equivalent to antisemitism. This has established in the public conscience the incorrect notion that Israel represents all jews and that their actions reflect upon all of them.

That was bad enough when Israel was locked in a morally complex struggle with the Palestinians. Plenty of shit happened then that many jews didn't agree with and weren't happy to be associated with via Israel's rhetoric. But now the conflict has escalated to a point where Israel's behavior goes well past any notion of acceptability.

And the rhetoric that any criticism of this is antisemitic persists. Advocacy groups spend big money to convince the world that opposing the genocide in Gaza is equivalent to hating jews. Combine that with the onslaught of right-wing propaganda on social media and yeah, it's no wonder antisemitism is on the rise.

Mind you, this has been actively promoted by Israel and several major NGOs who have been arguing (incorrectly) for decades that Israel and Judaism are essentially identical.

That doesn't make it true but it's still a meme (in the sociological sense) that has been well established for quite some time.

She's one of those characters who do anything and everything and are every age at the same time depending on what each individual strip needs. Like a feral Barbie.

Heck, you don't have to look farther than any given Tim. That name derives from Greek "timotheos", which means "he who honors God". Any atheist named Tim is at risk of spontaneously triggering an Alanis Morissette song.

He can choke to death on fully synthetic breakfast syrup. That matches his level of sophistication.

.NET turned out to be pretty good... eventually. Mind you, it still has ridiculous parts like none of the GUI toolkits it ships with being crossplatform (except WinForms, barely). But compared to other development platforms it's not really worse than the rest.

Of course they're also not really selling it. The related programs they do sell (like Visual Studio and Azure DevOps) absolutely suck.

I can't even access the settings on my work laptop. Or the VM I have to connect to through AVD. I do have admin privileges on the Windows Server VM I have to connect to from AVD but I can't exactly install an operating system over RDP.

That's my point: The classical definition makes the assumption that written records are the only records with any kind of reliability, which doesn't hold everywhere.

I could've phrased it better.

So it works but they don't have a process in place to ensure it works. That doesn't meet their standard for official support and so they retracted their claim that they support Linux via Proton. But they also made clear that they plan on getting that process in place.

That's honestly the best possible position.

I have watched it and just seeing the meme has gotten Lain's theme stuck in my head.

I wouldn't say the idea of prehistory is disrupted per se. But we have to accept that it's region-dependent. In any given region (recorded) history started when the oldest still available account was preserved.

Some regions are far better at preserving very old accounts than others.

Good catch. Amazon Women on the Moon spoofed Queen of Outer Space, which reused stuff from Forbidden Planet.
