Brutal images coming from Rafah. Children the age of my nephew are shown with their head and limbs blown of. People burned to coal. Not a word from the West. No peacekeeper mission.
I will never be able to function in this society ever again.
this is the stuff that the zionists lied about to shake the western media with, remember the burned baby AI pic? remember Biden saying 40 beheaded babies?
Where can I find this footage? I actually don’t know if I should watch it, I can be pretty sensitive to this. And I’m not even sure it’s a good and sane way to prove the horrors to someone you know. But we also should not, not see it and close our eyes
So our party keeps joining school debates in which politicians go to school and debate in front of the students. Our reps regularly not beat but just annihilate the competition with like 60% of the student votes ✊🏼
The job of an accountant boils down to figure out how to avoid paying taxes / launder money, and it is a highly respected job in our current society 😬
I just added some stickers to my laptop, what do you all think?
No I printed the sticker myself. Selling Lemmygrad stickers is a good idea though.
We have stickers. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1194056
Actually, we do. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1194056
Thank you! The wolf sticker is actually the logo of the Librewolf browser, I had no idea that the Amarok music player even existed but apparently both programs have extremely similar logos.
How many fights have you started with that GNU Nano sticker? Seems like a fun (“fun”?) way to make new friends and enemies.
Zero so far because I mostly use this laptop for trying new distros and it has barely ever left my house. If I did take it outside it would be extremely unlikely for anybody to mention it because I doubt many people in my town even know what a text editor is, let alone GNU nano.
I met a woman at the grocery store who wanted to chat. She justified me being out of a job as “ohh you’ll find another you’re a workaholic like me” and paraphrasing "not like all those lazy Poor’s ".
I told her I believe that most are doing the best they can and that we should help those in need if we have the ability too.
She tells me I should read this book “the power of positive thinking” (obviously it’s about gas lighting yourself). I told her I prefer to feel my anger about what’s wrong and direct it in the direction it needs to go to make real change.
She then proceeds to talk about people less fortunate that she has helped. People who can’t care for themselves, her kids who don’t make enough money to pay bills…
Point is:
It’s interesting hearing the contradictions someone has to make to justify the world we live in… Well, to see it in the wild anyway.
I don’t know how likely it is that we can change someone like that’s perspective, but at least folks around us heard the one who is angry is also the positive one and makes good points. Thought I would share some organic praxis I engaged in today
Best of luck out there
