Lobbyists who have be trying to ban TikTok admitted politicians finally came to around to it after there was a massive amount of pro-Palestinian content. They couldn't ban it under Trump because there wasn't an appetite for it.

We also know that Meta is lobbying against TikTok so they have less competition.

It was slow going until Oct. 7. The attack that day in Israel by Hamas and the ensuing conflict in Gaza became a turning point in the push against TikTok, Helberg said. People who historically hadn't taken a position on TikTok became concerned with how Israel was portrayed in the videos and what they saw as an increase in antisemitic content posted to the app.

Thordinson saying the quiet part out loud, pro Palestinian posts are rooted in antisemitism.

A Zen Koan for you:

Is a Thordinson post that doesn't say "folks" even a Thordinson post?

Ree showing their ignorance as usual

A lil suspicious of the grimes set. Was less chaotic then last week, but she was literally away from the decks dancing demonstrating that a lot of the trackss would have been pre-mixed and only a few moments was she actually mixing...which, once again, resulted in awkward results and errors. Also noticed there was a guy wearing headphones on standby for any fuck ups, he came on the end when she screwed the outro lol. Part of me wonders if some of the mistakes were intentional so it didn't look too fishy if she did a flawless perfect set compared to last week.

It was less chaotic because her equipment was working.

You don't need to be standing behind the decks every second if your tracks are 4/5 minutes long.

You wouldn't part pre-mix a set. It would be pointless. 

She made one error when she nudged the wrong jogwheel. A pretty common thing. Her transitions were fine. Her dj'ing is basic but nobody expects her to be performing like Joris Voorn. 

She didn't screw up the outro and no tech guy comes on at the end. 

Starts of accusing her of being bad. Then accuses her of just pretending to be bad. 

I don't give a shit about Grimes but the hate boner these idiots have for her is so strong they've gone full conspiracy.

I don’t know why we are defending her? Grimes is a dirty crack trust fund whore.

This looks hot, + Glasses even better!!

Looks absolutely terrible imo. Furthest thing from hot. Why the hell is a soldier dressed in a swimsuit...

Same reason a superhero is in his undies. Just some random suit

Not the same, especially when it's in a game that's utterly rife with objectification.

You're right, the spider-man one shows more skin

Objectification of men and women isn't the same thing, men don't deal with it on any kind of similar level. And this game is literally built around the objectification of women. It's not even close to the same thing and certainly not a valid comparison.

I'm a 38-year-old adult without children and I've been asking myself, "Should I watch Bluey?" for the last few weeks.

If they ban TikTok it’s going to kill any chance of the voting aged kids in my house from voting.

Seems like a good opportunity to have a discussion around the importance of voting. But they are your kids 🤷‍♂️

yeah they are not going to care about voting until they are in their 30’s and by then I doubt I’ll have much reason for caring to have that conversation with them. Even now, the idea of voting just to never get the promises is a very disheartening endeavor.

Not caring until they're in their 30's is dire....

I just don't see myself forcing my children to vote, they have a choice and that choice is stay home. Though I doubt they stay home this year once they realize marijuana (and abortion) is on the ballot.

I mean obviously you can't force adults to. If this many young adults in that age gap have the same mentality in November...they won't have a choice to ever vote again anyway.

Please don't use this phrase negatively, especially to describe staff.

Even if you don't have kids, Bluey will make you better around kids. No joke

People Jeff's age grew up on the original Nicktoons, the actual great ones, now they're regressing to Nick Jr. 25 years after they were supposed to develop the other way.

An episode for a kids show gets 33 posts quite quickly while the trans genocide constantly falls to the bottom of the sticky list. The cis priorities are so clear and discusting

[books]

Based on my limited exposure, adult My Little Pony watchers are fucking weirdos and pedos, ergo adult Bluey watchers are also weirdos and pedos.

Edit- before you say there are good universal lessons to be learned on the show, I'ma guess these good lessons are shit you're supposed to learn in kindergarten like sharin is carin and dont be a dick. But I dunno, I don't watch that shit.

Until Bluey discourse can manifest a more nuanced take on the power-privilege structure, i dont think yall are even able to handle a conversation about dismantling the cisheteronormative  settler-colonial matrix of domination and cultivate a radical, transformative, liberatory praxis of resistance that reimagines the agentic subjectivities of the global majority and enacts a decolonial, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, eco-feminist ethic of collective care premised on mutual aid, trauma-informed community accountability, and the abolition of all forms of hierarchy and oppression.  what i'm really tryna say is



yall aint ready for that conversation

My only experience with firefighters is when I used to be a banker, I found out that A LOT cheat on their spouses.

A friend of mine who is also trans got bullied out of her local fire department for being trans. Even the leadership treated her like shit and called her slurs when she tried to report it.

They've got a story for everything.

Hey all, update on the OT. I finished the design work on it a few weeks back but just collating all the final imagery and video links to be included.

So I thought now was the best time to also let you all vote on the title of the OT. It will be posted late-ish Wednesday night UK time, ahead of the launch on Friday. That's the plan anyway!

Vote for the Stellar Blade OT title here: https://polls.io/en/klnij/vote
May the best title win

Thanks again to everyone who suggested titles in this thread a few weeks back, feel free to share the above link around and in other Stellar Blade threads too to get more votes as I'll have to take the highest vote count in just 3 days.

Wonder which title will win

[benji]

It's all part of the serve and protect ideals that get manipulated and bastardized by right wing grifters into a form of tight knit nationalism and superiority all too often.

My father in law is the chief of a fire department. Been with then for 20 plus years. He's a closet racist. You know the type. Would never acknowledge they're racist but make comments here and there. Like, a black dude who cuts him off in traffic is a black pos but a white person who does it is just a pos. Things like that.

Firefighters, police officers, barbers, physical trainers. I know many if not most men are culpable, but those professions are in another stratosphere of cheating.

Pretty much any career that's "macho" attracts right wingers

Policing/enforcement/army…. was a tool to control certain groups that were a small minority in the bigger picture. Whether it's how they look or want to fight against corruption. Same applies today but size of the groups/people have changed of course. It's a gang created by the government. Small versions actually provide useful impact such as proactive patrols to learn/build relationships with people living in the area,…... Another thing is solving crimes that have already been committed.

I used to work at a software company that made database software for fire departments with most of our customers being in upstate NY and on Long Island. I took phone calls, and I really wish I wrote down half of the insane shit I encountered at that job. Not actually that much in terms of racism, but a lot of bizarre toxic behavior and technical incompetence.

Now my company itself definitely was racist and implicitly refused to hire anyone with an accent. Since again, we would be talking and meeting with these departments ourselves, and I guess we didn't want to give the impression that we contracted tech support overseas.

Fuck that place. Our boss was such a piece of shit, and the work culture was toxic as hell.

Rural Firefighters are generally a part of the same hard right conservative group that got invited to NRA dinners and have close friends with law enforcement, the ones I've known as heavily conservative, racist, and bigoted, and they only really care for their own and just like to feel tough and important likes cops do.

These dudes are so weird about everything.

People have already mentioned the conservative values promoting riskier jobs such as firefighter/police/military, so I'll springboard off of that.

The opposite also holds true, however. Look at this site as an example, do you see left leaning people calling for more blue leaning people to join the police? No, the response tends to be a call to defund or ACAB. As a result, people in left leaning circles are pushed away from these jobs socially while right leaning people are pushed towards them. This actively creates a bubble of right leaning individuals at its core and guarantees that all political attempts to change these organizations are purely external and will be met with major pushback. It's not just an inherited problem, we contribute to it every day.

How dare you tone police us!
