Rishi Sunak says people should stop 'over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life'

if you've been wondering how they're reacting to the mass disabling event that is COVID 19. just mandate people not to take sick days

i didn't do MySpace, i went straight from livejournal to Tumblr. i have been on Twitter a while bc it's great for arguing, but for a long time telegram and whatsapp have been at the forefront of news propagation, at least for news i care about. i guess I'm finally getting old bc I don't really get a lot of news from short form video, i just see comedians and slice of life stuff there. mastodon and bluesky are federated services are for Losers who can't handle Twitter and i don't really feel like they're going to catch on, but who knows. maybe forums will come back? community focused, moderated, and with low risk of Identity theft or high reward to Identity curation. but idk the centralized sites have dominated a long time now, we used to move platform to platform more naturally. i mean social media itself hasn't even been around all that long. i maintain like usenet, irc, smtp presence for legacy and professional reasons but they're at all time lows, real ghost towns.

you're of course wrong to call hamas far right and wrong to condemn them, but you have the main point right. even IF all the western propaganda were true, it would not justify genocide, because nothing ever does.

your logic follows re Russia, if we accepted your view of the facts. presence of nazi orgs in Ukraine would not justify genocide if that were happening. i don't think we can call it a genocide though, just a deadly and unnecessary war

Something genocide enjoyers don't get is that I will never support their genocide because it's a genocide. It's also something a lot of people who try to UwUify genocide victims don't get.

I don't care if the majority of Palestine is horribly bigoted.

I don't care if the majority of Palestine supports far right extremists like hamas.

I don't care if Palestine struck first.

This genocide isn't wrong because it hurts a culture I like, this genocide is wrong on the basis of it being a genocide. It is not that Palestine didn't deserve it, it's that nobody deserves that. Human rights are not privileges.

This isn't even just Palestine. Genocide enjoyers who are tankies will mention Ukrainian nazis, or genocide enjoyers who are catholic will mention Aztec human sacrifices, and these are not things I care about. They are not arguments I care about, because they presuppose there is a case where genocide is justified.

You have to look beyond the small scale case of not supporting a single genocide, and move to not supporting genocide as ever being an acceptable action.

I need to (remembers to not make casual suicide jokes in order to encourage a more outwardly positive mindset and healthy conversational environment in my day to day life) kill myself

saw a poll about dry/humid heat and like OBVIOUSLY everyone preferred dry heat but. would love to know what everyone considers to be “too hot”

"i'm mr sterling's right hand arm. man." is to say: i am the unutterable wisdom that precedes and gives rise to verbal understanding.

"i'm mr sterling everything" is to say: i am the undifferentiated matrix through which the phenomenon of "mr sterling" is apprehended.

"his confidant. his best friend. his silly rabbit." is to say: the unity of the two, differentiated and undifferentiated, quiescence and clarity, produces a third which is motion, who then goes on reproduce itself indefinitely.

"does he call you that? no." is to say: the name which can be spoken is not the eternal name.
