There's a huge amount of pro-palestine propaganda in the internet right now. And looking at reactions, it's working.

As a recent example: "14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours if aid isn’t let in – UN"

One would think that the actual warcrimes Israel is committing should be enough to report on honestly, but somehow no. We have spruce things up a bit. If I was conspirationally inclined, I'd say that Israel themselves are adding these lies into the mix so they can always point out that this and that was a lie.

I mean I was trying to be cute there, but I genuinely think that this it the way to proper respect and non-bigotry in the workplace. You have lots of oddball people in every workplace of more than 3 people, and you're supposed to function with all of them. Trans is just one more. And of course it's all subjective, so the people you might think are perfectly normal are completely bizarre to some other people and vice versa. And you have to navigate around that too.

Trans people are weird, but so is everyone else.

The phone I'm talking about is https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/ and yeah I guess they're not even claiming that.

"Starting at $1,999" lol I was out of my fucking mind. Good thing I don't have that kind of monies.

A year ago I was seriously thinking that I might want to buy a laptop or a phone that was completely made in the U.S.

I'm not amazed that people like that -- I also do sometimes -- but I am amazed that people pay for that

Well where do you keep your change

Be sure to check Igorrr's other stuff, it's pretty damned interesting. and in different ways from how this one was.

Yeah, that's just dumb.

Roughly a similar move was made by the far right finance minister in Finland. When she was faced with the challenge of communicating the need for austerity, did she use empathy? No, she went for twitter posts where she laughed aloud with scissors in hand.

He drugged and raped a 13 year old child.

I hope everyone here is sane enough to understand that that is a lot worse than what JK Rowling is doing here.
