I’m still a bit unfamiliar with how blocking instances and users works. My main concern is: does blocking these prevent me from saving the naive from falling for their bullshit?

Concentration camp warehouses, of course!

Alamogordo, NM. All of Oklahoma.

I’m much more a PB & Honey guy but for both I’ll be honest… I don’t make a sandwich. Single slice all the way.

I’ve always had an excessive filter pipeline that slowed me down. My partner always had no filter. It was like Katara with Toph (but easier than Toph, much much kinder and well meaning). After years we both somewhat met in the middle.

Let’s put it another way: I needed alcohol to shut those inhibitory filters down; she did not lol.

Best voice actor of the game by far, too.

Second this. Listen to this person. There really isn’t anything to be gained by viewing this content that your imagination can’t fill in. The only thing I can think of is if you’re going into the military or medicine where understanding and desensitizarion may serve a purpose… Maybe, but even then. It will change you.

I’m now vegetarian and I have to say I have a lot of respect for your use of empathy to understand their position. Personally as someone who’s been on both sides over my life that I think we get wayyyy more shit than we dish out. It makes some of us resentful being frankly bullied at times as the minority. People are very defensive of their habits, and that’s fine. I’m not so aggressive and understand people change on their own time.

It’s either meth or maga mind, typically, but there is admittedly much overlap.

And just to add, I don’t mean to say that worry and anxiety aren’t useful states of mind – they can help you prepare for uncertainty in the future, but it HAS to be kept in check or it will control you instead of being a signal to action as I think was intended.

Touch grass.

No, seriously. I know most people use this as an insult but in this case I think there is a lot of benefit to re-balancing your time and getting offline. As a general rule, the further away the turmoil, the less impact you can actually have on its outcome. So why build up anxiety over something that is limited to your ability to control? Take that anxiety and put it in your immediate world. Your home, your physical health (diet, meditation, sleep, exercise). Get new hobbies like learning a musical instrument, go out on hikes. Find locla community.

I get one may not wish to bury their head in the sand but you need to strike a balance. If you still want to get active, then go to protests and join local political communities that align with your beliefs. It helps a lot. Focus on what you have more agency over and you’ll feel better. Things like diet and exercise and getting out into nature all directly reduce anxiety and improve mood; that’s a fact.

I think Europa because if I remember right it’s one of the most likely spots for life?

Bernie, an Establishment Zionist!?

hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

Got my new tag for you, thanks lol

I’ll just end it here to cover my bases: Slava Ukraini, fuck Xi, fuck Putin, fuck the Ayatollah and IRGC, fuck the Saudis, and yes of course fuck Bibi and Trump.

Sure you did, buddy, sure you did ;)

who though all hummus is israeli, lol

Never once said that, that was your poor inference ;) – I highly advise you take an Intro to Critical Thinking class!

These arguments of yours are so… Juvenile.

My tag for you from who knows when still checks out, lol.

Sorry I am genuinely struggling to understand your first paragraph but if I understand right – Yes, we can defeat zionist candidates just as Talarico did against Crockett. Just as Mamdani did against Cuomo.

Ultimately these candidates run within the framework of the Democratic party to success. I have no problem with this, and I have no problem who advocates for these candidates either within or outside of the Democratic party so long as it actually is on the Democratic ticket and changes the composition therein.

I believe she won a majority of pledged delegates independent of superdelegates – however, this I do agree with how fucked up that was as someone who campaigned for Sanders that year.

But further; a) Why has Sanders continued with Democrats then (even running again in 2020), and b) it’s worth noting the rules on superdelegates changed after 2016. So, progress

I prefer attentive.

Idk what to tell you. Choosy beggar who literally made up excuses why they can’t run and that their ideology is very unpopular and they cannot persuade people to support them in any sort of numbers.

I think you’re online way too much.

Don’t engage in it; refuse to do something to actually change or fix. Sit on pyrrhic positions in what is effectively nihilism at best; accelerationist at worst.

Almost more dangerous than a Trump supporter.

Oh, and Slava Ukraini?

I’ll repeat the deflected:

How do you think AOC or Bernie Sanders got their start? They certainly weren’t rich; nor did they take from special interests. From Mamdani to Talarico, people are stepping up! Are you? Be the change you want to see in the world!

lol what, do you think rent was cheap for AOC and Sanders?

there’s not a lot of institutional backing for trans anarchists in electoral politics, just genocidal warmongers

Gee, I wonder why. Not only can they not muster any candidates whatsoever or attract anyone by the power of their ideas, they also don’t seem to play nicely with others either.
