Can’t wait for Dbrand to drop a dupe skin for the iPhone, that would be diabolical.

It’s worse than that, many saw this and just explained it away, didn’t care or think it was still worth it because he’ll save America.

They’ve been grooming Buttigieg for a run since the start of the Biden admin. They paraded him out at every televised crisis and he was going on every swing voter talk show. He’s kicked into high gear going on podcasts and putting out YT and tik too content. If they don’t run him in 2028 I would be so surprised. Imo he should announce his intent now and start a years long tour of podcasts, rallies and TV appearances.

Consider me unsurprised

🤷 The woke mind virus got me.

I think it comes down to exposing myself to other people and their perspectives. As a teen I was as racist as any Zionist. Once I moved away from home and met people from outside of my insulated Zionist/Jewish community I started hearing other perspectives. This led me to take a serious look at Zionism and the state of Israel including how they operate to maintain apartheid. I didn’t like what I saw, I tend to be an empathetic person so it really hurt to see my people and culture I identified with take part in these Injustices.

What followed was years of deprogramming and the painful process of coming to terms with the fact that Israel were the bad guys in this scenario. I grew up in the West Bank on a settlement so the roots went deep and they were painful to RIP out. A great eye opening book I read was “A Day In The Life Of Abed Salama”. It really helped connect the puzzle pieces and pull down the propaganda curtain that I experienced growing up in a Jewish settlement.

Also my parents were born in the 60s so probably lead poisoning right?

I know my family are raging Zionist so I don’t even bring it up.

Nailed it.

She has a pretty well documented history of working in progressive media and pushing progressive points. If having conservative parents means someone is a conservative then my wife, myself and ALL of my progressive and liberal friends are faking it. Dang it.

What kind of anxiety do you have and how do I not get it?

Have you done any research into her? She’s an influencer type who has been posting progressive content for a while.

Never quit your job over an offer, I always run my time out at my old job.

Last job switch was last day on Friday, new day of first job on Monday.

I used to call myself an atheist but switched to agnostic since I don’t know for certain. My agnostic belief in a higher power is NOT the judgemental rule writing god of scripture. More of a default reason for enexplainable things in our universe. As science progresses there are less things where the higher power is needed.

But that’s just me.

I always told my parents when they were disappointed in me for ditching the “Faith”: I may be a bad Jew but I make every effort to be a good person.

My grandmother who has a Trump cutout unironically does not want him to run again. She says he’s had a good run but is too old now let alone in 3 years.

These people have co-opted the work “skeptic”.

I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god’s role in my life, now I’m agnostic.

My parents became “skeptical” of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer “skeptical” but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.

I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find “proof” of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.

They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).

The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their “independent” researchers (crunchy influencers).

🤮

Oh, it’s an i9 14900k with 64gb RAM and a 4070ti super.

Which flavor?

I bought a gaming PC that should be future proof to at least 4 years

$80USD for fiber at 2gbps up/down. It’s a locally owned fiber company.

Go home Lemmy, you’re horny

Okay. Let’s play it out. Armed uprising, and then what? What is it? When does it end?

I don’t know if posing with Trump in front of a crowd of blood thirsty Evangelicals and Zionist is spreading the message of a lasting peace and security for all.
