  • i’ll spell it out really slow like for ya if it’ll help.

    israel’s treatment of the palestinian people is that of an ethnic cleansing.

    they are removing their heritage sites.

    flooding their farmlands during winter so they’re fucked in the spring.

    constantly boxing in all palestinians that live in any of the palestinian territories that still exist.

    shooting palestinian women, children

    shooting journalists and medics that choose to help or report on the situation.

    bulldozing their land and homes to make room for new israeli settlers that will happily steal that land from the palestinians.

    responding with disproportionate force after palestinians are goaded into defending themselves. one molotov should not equal days of missile strikes.

    they have consistently “accidentally” targeted school buildings and hospitals for missile strikes during disproportionate responses.

    basically all of these actions amount to ethnic cleansing, which is a facet of genocide.

    israel’s M.O. is to act like nazi lite, then when the world takes notice and outrage occurs, they back off. during that time, they lobby the US government and pull strings and make threats.

    and if you criticize israel at all for their behavior on the world stage? well then you’re just a fucking antisemite, and they’ll be quick to call it that.

    they spend some of the most money of any world government using social media teams to protect their country’s interests.

    you’re looking at smarter nazis with better PR and lots of money.













  • let’s see them argue this for copying and further altering other people’s styles manually.

    you know, what we call “art”.

    you telling me all those people that thought “oh wow that artist’s method of using long curving lines is awesome, im going to try that too.” are somehow different than the act of visually scraping everything and then telling ai to create X in the styles of Y and Z?

    sorry, but no.

    if it is someone copying someone’s exact style and the acting as though the artist made it, that’s where it’s crossing a line. personally i think doing a carbon copy of a persons work is grounds for legal complaint.

    but this shit? no.


  • under schedule 3 it’ll be easier to obtain than adderal.

    i know the young folks think it should be an all or nothing solution but the truth is the country as a whole rarely moves that way with so many contending views.

    this is how you change those views against it, by removing the demonization over time in phases.

    this gives time for the private prison systems and big pharma and big alcohol/tobacco to get their ducks in a row for the changes that will surely arrive.

    when the people who believe that it is the worst drug ever see what a difference in perception can do as the government no longer demonizes it, that’s when it’ll be fully legalized.

    shit sucks but with over half the country filled with fucking idiots, you really need to be able to crawl before you can walk or even run. this is a step in the right direction and i’ve been around long enough to see what a fucking foot in the legal door this is.



  • oh there are lots of ways.

    unfortunately a lot of the time, it doesn’t get any easier.

    that being said, it all starts with knowing and understanding that, if you love who you are, those mistakes helped make you who you are.

    personally that helped me come to peace with the fact that i had fucked up so badly.

    next is atonement to yourself and others. that means learning to prevent the mistake from occurring again in the future, helping others that you recognize are making the same mistake so that they don’t have to suffer like you did, and if you hurt someone, apologizing to that person for both their and your own healings sake. sometimes it also means apologizing to yourself.

    you do have to understand, though, that people change over time. our mistakes make us who we are. and you are not the same person you were when you originally made the mistake.

    last and most unpleasant advice i can give is to allow the feelings to wash over you. our brain is capable of experiencing so many emotions, and each emotion serves a very important purpose. we tend to lead lives that shy away from the unpleasant emotions, but there is value to be had in experiencing them. feeling the shame of making a mistake can drive you to never make that mistake again. that’s valuable, even if it is unpleasant for a time.

    it gets better bro.
