The reason the flag was at half stalf before the executive order is because Biden chose to lower them because Carter died a week or two ago.

Kind of amazing they are still clinging to the idea that he did that shit with quite literally no evidence, I'm glad he did something at least, I heard Deb Holland spoke to him directly about this throughout his term, so if she couldn't convince him no one could, I also heard Leonard has diabetes and a few other health problems and wasn't getting proper medical treatment so I hope he gets that at least, even though he is still not free in home confinement.

Natalie Bara, the president of the FBI Agents Association, which advocates for active and retired agents, said it is "outraged" by Biden's reprieve for Peltier.

"This last-second, disgraceful act by then-President Biden, which does not change Peltier's guilt but does release him from prison, is cowardly and lacks accountability," Bara said in a statement. "It is a cruel betrayal to the families and colleagues of these fallen Agents and is a slap in the face of law enforcement."

Get fucked Natalie and by association all other feds.

I don't want to be too much of a pedant, but it is different, it's not likely any of these people did anything besides Hunter. Unless it comes out these people actually did anything, comparing Hunter to Kushner is a fair comparison, but preemptively pardoning your family because you think they are gonna get persecuted because they are related to you is pretty unprecedented. I don't really fault sleepy for this, what's the alternative letting Trump groundlessly put your family in courts and make a media spectacle out of it.

It was just really tone deaf and disrespectful ultimately, there was something in it about how IDF members are drafted so it's not really their fault for having served, clearly ignoring that you can just choose not to be an IDF member and do the relatively short prison sentence, in regards to her saying people shouldn't be boycotting some IDF soldier. I don't have the heart to watch whatever changes were made, I doubt they were transformative though given the original.

I had the thought of something like this, but nominating the YouTuber Jessie Gender for worst video-essay of the year with her 4 hour long video about Palestine which boils down to "what's happening in Palestine is really bad, but liberal Zionism is valid". She also managed to include a quote from "Son of Hamas" in the original video. Maybe the biggest display of BreadTuber sophistry I have ever seen, not to mention it is the length of two entire movies, while saying almost nothing worth hearing. It has just stuck with me how phenomenally bad this video was.

That is a lot more informative than what I posted, thank you order-of-lenin

 

Forgive me if this was addressed, but I don't think it was. During a previous struggle session in a statement from the mod team something was said along the lines of "the he/hims aren't beating the allegations".

Personally I do not think this is acceptable, to me this is just using "he/hims" as a proxy for saying men. No one in IRL settings uses "he/hims" as a term to describe people who use him/him pronouns, no one is categorized into a grouping in general based on their pronouns as it is just a preferred pronoun not a characteristic like gender identity.

If there is misogyny going on, just say there is misogyny among users, their pronouns do not change the content of what they said, if someone with he/him pronouns and someone with she/her pronouns typed the exact same degrading thing about a woman, their pronouns would not factor into whether what they said was misogynistic or not.

I am bringing this up as it seems like people in the mod chat are still using "he/hims" to refer to people who have indicated they prefer he/him as their pronouns, you might think this is progressive because you are not directly making a gender identity assumption, but I believe this is in fact reactionary and you are just using pronouns as a proxy for the gender that is most commonly associated with the given pronoun i.e. men in the case of saying "he/hims".

I think this is at least counterproductive and at most harmful, if knowing someone's gender identity is relevant or useful, it should just be asked for.

The point of having pronouns is to accommodate and to treat people with respect and dignity about what they prefer to be called. Using pronouns as a proxy for gender identity undermines this as, treating someone with dignity would involve asking them directly what their gender identity is, not making judgments or assumptions based off of their preferred pronouns.

The only thing that having he/him pronouns indicates is that the person prefers to be referred to with the pronouns he and him. They are just personal pronouns, they are not equivalent to an ethnicity, a gender identity, a gender expression, etc.

If someone with he/him pronouns seems like they are misogynistic, that may have something to do with their gender identity, but it has nothing to do with their pronouns. It is not fair nor accurate to make assumptions of gender identity from pronouns and I think this should be avoided.

This is not to undermine any concerns about misogyny, but misogyny can and should be fought against regardless of what pronouns are involved in any instance of it.

Thanks for reading this, please know all I want is for pronouns and gender identity not to be conflated and to create a safe and respectful space for all users. And I think a good way to work towards this would be to stop using "he/hims", "she/hers", "they/thems", etc. as a way to refer to people who specify they would like to be referred to as those pronouns.

That's kind of what I meant thought, like oh well at first we thought we were only targeting ~50% of the market, but now we realize we're missing out on the other ~50% so we're doing hers, they could have just not named it hims in the first place and avoided making a hers

Hims making a 2nd brand called Hers is the final boss of gendered marketing, beyond parody.

How does it run and if you're playing it on another operating system are you having a good time playing it? I could probably also emulate it on android with Waydroid if the linux compatibility is not there.
