How do you see the situation in Rojava and the question of jesidic people in Syria, and Turkey's position, what do you think about the PKK? I ask cause it seems you did spend some time thinking about the geopolitics of the region.

VMs in which Windows hosts fors RDP run are my solution.

However I try to not having to use Microsoft systems which makes a lot of problem go away.

For a majority of tasks Linux daily drivers are fine, however at work we have plenty of computers with varying operating systems, some even from before 2000.

This article or rather it's usage is an example of antisemitism and a case in which more research would have been good. Questions like: how many, who, what for, what materials(tissue vs organs), how does it differ with other countries practices matter.

125 is the number mentioned in one Israeli lawsuit of tissues or organs (corneas are tissues) of people who had stuff taken out after/during obduction. This is not limited to Palestinian Arabs, but includes Jewish IDF soldiers, and others.

Israel had more restrictive law at that point than some European countries did. For educational and research purposes plenty of tissues could be taken (including in the GDR) and were taken before the pushes for transplantation laws in the 70s and 90s more and more changed the practice around the world. Requiring often previous consent (not needed in all countries), as well as separation of persons declaring dead, extracting organs and transplanting organs, and whether it is used for transplantation instead of research/education/military testing purposes.

All in all the rumor of all encompassing organ trafficking ring here isn't confirmed. Antisemitism is often the rumor about Jews and that something one did all do and never stop doing. That Jewish Israeli people did show the light on it and that the legal system didn't ignore it like with cases in the 80s in Germany is noteworthy.

There are from time to time reports of similar things, in a socialist society we ought to have opt out and a good transparent set of rules of what is allowed and separation of hierarchies.

The main problem I see here is whether the bodies of people were treated the same/different and that it is different if you do take tissues from bodies of people the de facto state doesn't recognize or are assigned hostile. However for those questions there is no solution within the EU, the USA and I am not sure about other states.

There are typically no laws that say: marginalized/homeless/stateless/tourists etc. are exempt from it. So the assigning people as hostile is the problem. A problem lately solved before October last year by forensic institutes in Gaza and West Jordan doing the work.

You mean this one? It's nearly three hours. I do absolutely agree that it is dangerous to oversell poly, but both work with attachment styles if combined with materialism as well as reframing ones relationship ideas is good. Again plenty of people are living realities that aren't as they are sold to us, queer and non queer alike.

Polysecure / Polywise, and other books exist.

The core of them are that there are multiple alternatives to the default diadic two person relationship. The alternative are easier to handle with awareness of attachment styles, that we can be nets of support, nurture and care for each other, but that we aren't able to fix other people and that when idea and reality clash reality wins.

Plenty of queer cuties are living in family and relationship networks that are not only of two people and if you want to be part of parenting a kid, that is possible. Even being a parent/dad/mother is possible, both via the sexual way or with medical support or due to a social setting.

There are plenty of ways to live. It is likely good to figure out what role you would like to have in your relationship and it likely isn't that of therapist (which likely wouldn't work in any case due to the double role). So outside support and transparent relationship styles might be good for you.

A week is very early and it is understandable to have thoughts when it is your first relationship. Keep talking with external support systems.

You don't have to shoulder your own stuff alone, neither have you to shoulder their stuff alone, neither do the both of yours have to shoulder stuff alone.

This is a bad article. It takes disputed things as fact, ignores - even if we take the proclaimed author as author - his actions and critique of antifascism (which was demoting antifascism) in Italy.

The article is also problematic for factual historical errors, content errors and themes aligning to Holocaust denial. In the east the vast majority of victims of the Shoa were killed by directly, outside of labor-extermination camps.

There could be a lot more to be said, but surplus exploitation and crisis isn't enough to explain the Shoa and it is also wrong that Hitler as result of Jewish congresses did start extermination conferences.

We wouldn't explain slavery and colonialism in the USA just with mechanist ideas of capitalism. The interplay, continuities, etc. do matter. Fifty years after the linked article was published is enough time to not reproduce it, but instead focus on works that are good.

Me. So called active shooter situations are often without active shooters, take hours and it is ableism to ignore the divinity and bodily functions of us people, who rather piss only people and ourselves in consensual settings. In any case schools don't really care about facilitating good urination experiences.

It is thinkable, but to be honest the right does attack multiple targets at once, often without easing the general pressure onto other targets. This is true for the NSDAP before and after 1933, it is true for conservative evangelicals in Germany after the 70s, 90s or 2010s and the right extreme ethno nationalist identitary movement in German speaking countries.

In terms of campaign pressure it might be that there will be a relative weakening of agitation in campaigns against our trans comrades, I doubt it though. Not only cause quite a few of furry friend do identify as somewhat trans (often more politicized people or those longer in the community).

I do think the targeting is more aligned in trying to bind beastiality, lack of consent and conservative nightmare fantasies and homophobia, transphobia and perversion together as they did with anti gay action in the 60s and 70s in central Europe and the USA.
