I would have just posted this in Kulturkampf but part of it started to sound so familiar...

I envy the Palestinians. Not for what they’re going through, obviously, but for what they have. Their supremely authentic culture, with its deep roots and ancient connection to the land.

One of the very, very few good things that the Gaza holocaust has brought into this world is a deluge of footage of Palestinians living their lives, interacting with each other and relating to their loved ones as they find ways to get by in this nightmare. Westerners like me have been quietly watching these video clips on our little screens in our homes, and watching the various films, documentaries and shows that have been made about Palestinian life over the years, and taking it all in.

And it’s just so very moving. Palestinians are such amazingly beautiful people. How tender they are with each other. How real and organic their spirituality is. How deeply they love their culture in all its unique expressions. How profoundly intimate their connections with each other are, both between individuals and with their community as a whole.

I’m a white Australian. We just don’t experience such things. The indigenous inhabitants of this land were massacred, robbed and displaced just as the Palestinians are today, and my ancestors were brought to this continent from Ireland and Scotland by circumstances beyond their control. Now for the most part it’s just this shallow, vapid civilization whose primary cultural identity consists of not getting too worked up about things. We live with this perpetual vague state of alienation and dysphoria buzzing in the background of our consciousness, because we have no roots here.

My husband Tim is an American of Irish descent and has had much the same experience. That’s just what it’s like for white people in the colonized world. We have no connectedness. No historical depth. No real culture. No real grounding. That’s why we’re always reaching around for something other than what we have, whether it’s more money and more possessions or a return to the religion of our grandparents or New Age spirituality or substance abuse. Our experience here just doesn’t feel quite right. We don’t feel like we belong.

Then we look at the Palestinians and how starkly their society contrasts with our own, and we can’t help but feel a sense of deep longing. They live so naturally and so warmly. It just looks right.

And I am quite certain Israelis feel the same way when they look at Palestinians. Here they are with this ridiculously fake culture of AI and electronic dance music, speaking a strange new version of a dead language that Zionists reanimated a few generations ago so they could LARP as middle easterners and pretend the “Israel” of today has anything whatsoever in common with the historic Israel of Biblical times. And then they look over at the people who were living there before them with their deep roots and vibrant authenticity, and they feel envy. And their envy turns to spite. And their spite turns to hate. And their hate turns to genocide.

There are other reasons for the hatred Israelis feel toward Palestinians, to be sure — the entire apartheid state depends on their being aggressively indoctrinated into viewing the lower-tiered inhabitants of the land as less than human. But jealousy surely plays a part.

And I hope they don’t succeed in wiping out the Palestinians. I hope they don’t succeed in driving them off their land. It would be such a loss to the whole world for a thing of such beauty to be snapped from its roots and cast into the dustbin of history. Apart from all the other reasons to feel heartbroken about the abuses we are witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank, there’s the fact that our world is losing one of the most breathtakingly beautiful things it has ever birthed into existence.

If these freaks succeed in stomping out Palestine, I think it will genuinely feel like losing a loved one. I think many people around the world will feel the same way.

I desperately hope this doesn’t happen. If I were a different sort of person with a different sort of spirituality, I would say I pray this doesn’t happen. In a world that’s increasingly fake and fraudulent, we can’t afford to lose Palestine.

Nature asked readers whether these changes were causing them to consider leaving the United States. Responses were solicited earlier this month on the journal’s website, on social media and in the Nature Briefing e-mail newsletter. Roughly 1,650 people completed the survey.

Many respondents were looking to move to countries where they already had collaborators, friends, family or familiarity with the language. “

Nature famously being the organization a few years ago that declared political loyalty and ideology should be treated as more important than science. And last year published a whole issue dedicated to showing that religion is more correct than science.

The trend was particularly pronounced among early-career researchers. Of the 690 postgraduate researchers who responded, 548 were considering leaving; 255 of 340 PhD students said the same.

 

Let's see how many do more than freely considering something they believe has zero cost!

How far back does this "people are moving to Canada...for real this time!" thing go?

I remember quite clearly people going on about it back in the W years. Was it around for Reagan too?

[benji]

I think things would have been different during the Cold War. But after the Wall fell and the world globalized most Americans came to assume they could just export themselves to any country they want whenever they want with no trouble because they can travel there with little effort.

Most people who say this kind of thing take it as seriously as ResetERA.com does always. Never naming the country just sort of assuming there's one. And also doing absolutely nothing to prepare to do it.

Just like all the people being genocided who keep talking about getting a gun even though they had months to get a gun after Trump won, even though they had two years where the prospect of Trump winning was more likely than not, even though they had years of being genocided, etc.

It's their way of showing you that it's not something you can dismiss, this time they're really serious, this time they really mean it. Knife so sharp.

Bitch, Palestinians hate gay people and think they should be stoned to death (not even the good stoned either). What do you think of their "authentic" lifestyle now?

Everyone Is Crashing Out—Here’s What That Means and How to Deal
It’s like trying to fight off a fire-breathing dragon with a pair of tweezers.

If you feel like you’ve been on the verge of losing your shit for, I don’t know, the last month or so, welcome to the club. Our impossibly short fuse can’t handle one more panic-inducing headline or racist comment from Grandpa Joe. According to the youth (and social media), we’re all seconds away from “crashing out.”

For the uninitiated, crashing out—at least this version of the phrase—means losing your shit in a big, impulsive, or reckless way. It’s flipping a table when someone tells you to pay attention (IYKYK). It’s sporadically quitting your job without a backup plan because you just can’t anymore. It’s throwing a drink in someone’s face after they insult you.

The trend is likely a reflection of how some people (or all people?) are grappling with feelings of overwhelm, burnout, and exhaustion right now, says therapist Aimee Estrin, LMSW, who specializes in anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. “The fact that it is a viral trend speaks volumes about the collective state of mental wellbeing,” says Estrin. Yikes.

The experience isn’t a new one. “Essentially, crashing out is when you get so overwhelmed that you stop thinking about consequences and just react,” explains Alo Johnston, LMFT. Before TikTok made this thing a thing, you’d probably refer to that feeling as “losing it” or “snapping.” It’s the same deal, just a new name.

Simply put, when you’re so overwhelmed or triggered that you do something impulsive or irrational, you’re crashing out, says Estrin. However a crash plays out, it generally starts like this: An event, situation, thought, or something else brings up intense emotions. You feel completely out of control, then you lash out or act out in response.

Basically half the internet claims to be crashing out right now, and they’re probably not wrong. That’s because crashing-out behavior can take a lot of forms. Sometimes it’s self-destructive but relatively tame, like staying up all night to watch a show. But it could also be more serious, like quitting your job on the fly or throwing a punch. All of these count!

Crashing out is more than just getting mad or upset, it’s a full-on system overload in which, “a single event or trigger, or the build-up of multiple events or triggers, overwhelms your capacity to cope, self-soothe, and process your emotions,” explains Johnston.

But what causes a crash-out depends on the person experiencing it. “Often, unresolved inner wounds—like trauma—or unmet emotional needs are exposed by specific situations,” explains Estrin. “Beneath the surface, it’s a mix of external triggers and inner vulnerabilities coming to a head.”

Palestine, the place where Mickey Mouse teaches children to kill the jews. Very heartwarming and wholesome. She's just jelly she’s not held in a Hamas consensual love making UN shelter for lost Israeli festival visitors 

I don't get why these women don't just get what they want. Plenty of Muhammeds out there willing to birth them 12 beautiful children or expand their harems.

Gamers can be a self-entitled bunch of keyboard warriors at the best of times, and will gleefully throw their toys out the pram at the first hint of something they don't like. They're not always wrong - trying to shoehorn blockchain into game development was something the community pushed back on and largely won, and the gaming industry is probably better off because of this. However, the pushback against AI is absolutely going to fail, and I will tell you why.

Firstly, we are at only at the very beginning of our relationship with AI, and AI is only going to get better from here. Think about any technological leap, and you will always have an initial period of time when the new technology is glitchy, awkward expensive to run. Technology evolves, more users become involved, and development starts to accelerate. Mainstream adoption takes hold, and technology cements itself as part of our lives. From watches to cars to computers, it always works the same way, and AI hasn't even begun to show its full potential.

Secondly, even at this early stage, AI usage is transforming industries across the world. Software development can be sped up by orders of magnitude when AI is used appropriately, without any impact on quality. Two and half years ago when ChatGPT became publicly available, developers were up in arms when I explained that we'll soon be using it to aid development, and they insisted that it would fail. Today, every single developer I know is using generative AI to debug and assist with coding. Going forward, we won't see developers replaced by AI - we will see developers who shun AI replaced by developers who embrace it.

Thirdly, in the creative industries, generative AI is threatening jobs across the board, from graphic design to voice-over artists, and there is understandably a lot of human emotion involved. It is a personal tragedy when anyone loses their job, and people will fight hard against this. However, as with the advent of machine automation, the role of people in an AI-dominated world will have to change - to think otherwise is just burying your head in the sand. Change like this can be hard, but it is a necessary part of technological progress. Think about how many jobs were lost when coal mines in Britain were shut down in the 80s, yet how many people today would want to go back to a coal-powered energy industry?

To put some of this into context, think about a game like Skyrim. Think about how many times you encounter the same NPC (or indeed different NPCs), who produce the same line over and over again. It's so prolific that there are memes based on it. It's ridiculous, but we put up with it because that's the best we have. Well, that's all going to change. Imagine if every time you encountered an NPC they used generative AI to come up with a different variation on their greeting. Think about the voice acting being AI generated, so even when they say the same thing it sounds slightly different each time. Replacing voice actors with AI doesn't mean there will be no role for voice actors, but it means that awkward, badly acted, repetitive NPC dialogue will no longer be something we have to put up with - and it will be cheaper to implement - and that is the point at which your war on AI will fail.

From the creation of the loom to machines in factories, people have tried to push back against technological progress since the dawn of society, and in the end they always fail. Whether you like it or not, game production will be better, more efficient, and produce higher quality output with AI, and the gaming industry will be changed forever.

From the latest fantasy invasion thread -

Sounds great, but what will you actually be able to do to stop this?

Me specifically? Closest border crossing for me is Montreal I'd go up and block the road with my car and myself. I'm also currently blasting everyone I know who is checked out about this anti Canadian rhetoric.

Fucking hell. The US military would hate that. There's no way they could invade Canada if a car blocked the road.

If you could give likes to posts on here I'd give you one.

Not looking for any credit the whole thing annoys me so much. I take my boy to Canada a lot and the thought of us not being welcome any more because of Trump is so enraging.
