Biden is a self-admitted Zionist, isn't he? It's not a pejorative to him, or any establishment politician. It's ironic considering Ireland and the Irish people have been vocally calling it a genocide since the beginning.
Still, there are more proponents of a ceasefire on the Dem's side than the Rep's, especially down ballot. If the Dem's capture both House and Senate, there might be enough noise to actually pressure towards a ceasefire. Go vote.
I love that there are so many options for nuSocial tbh. Federation rocks.
Yep, that's what everyone I know with Apple devices have always done. I used to have a Nexus 7 (rip) and an iPhone, and the prices on the App store were always higher than the prices on Android Market (rip).
I'm wondering why it's being pointed out now by everyone, but I'm not gonna complain if it leads to some sort of price parity regulation across platforms.
Shounen Jump is a great example. It works, it's readers find value in it enough to pay for subscriptions, and it clearly has some sort of profitability. A great model of what other manga magazines could do, but they refuse because most of them are run by dinosaurs and would rather cry "piracy is ruining our profits wah" when they DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRODUCT in the market to profit from!
Sorry Japan, manga piracy/scanlations until I die. There are so many niche authors/manga that never get officially translated to any other language because your industry thinks everyone just wants to read shounen and only the top 1% of shoujo/seinen/josei. Don't even get me started on BL/GL.
Meanwhile some fucking random scanlation team does a better job of translating and making a chapter of Rose of Versailles more accessible to modern audiences than the entire Japanese manga publishing apparatus ever will.
As someone who has been to South Korea, US capitalism looks downright reasonable in comparison.
I should have specified: my municipality lets us throw any cooking oil out into our compost, and we have special containers in our compost bins specifically for cooking oils. So I'm assuming they get rid of it some way that isn't actually in the compost.
Well yes, I'm not throwing motor oil in my compost am I?
Real talk, can this be a class action?
...wow...how did I not make that connection.
Proof that my brain is smoother than that Githyanki egg I accidentally destroyed.
Sorry if I was unclear, I meant that you should be voting down ballot for people that are vocal about putting pressure on the higher ups, or have the power to put in local reforms that have cascading effects to a wider state/national level. Your state representatives, your municipal councils of government, your schoolboard representatives, a lot of places have those elections tied to presidential elections, and low voter turn out hurts a LOT because those are less gerrymandered and more likely to swing progressive if more people turn out to vote.
Many people think that voting for the "right" presidential candidate is how things change, but there is just too much money concentrated at the top for it to ever happen post-Jimmy Carter. They will always more likely be milquetoast centrists to outright fascists, depending on the party.
Of course this is all my opinion.
