je trouve ça ridicule à quel point les péquiss insistent à dire que leur parti est de "centre-gauche" quand PSPP passe son temps à faire buddy-buddy avec l'extrême-droite

il pourrait arriver, faire un salut nazi en public et les péquiss seraient genre "oh j'espère qu'il va arrêter ça quand il sera PM, anéwé j'va voter pour lui pareil". va y'avoir des déçu·es...

racism is the specific tool of racial supremacy used by white people (systematically, not individually) to oppress anyone who’s not in the in-group.

as you said, Irish people, when they were being discriminated against, weren’t seen as white. it’s not just about skin color.

so, given what racism is, how could anti-white racism exist? the only way it could happen is if non-white people gain power en masse, to the same extent that white people have power now, and start using the same system against whites. it’s fair to say, that’s far-fetched.

anti-white xenophobia certainly exists, but xenophobia is just the hatred based on any characteristic. you can be xenophobic to people with brown eyes. and if you are that, you’re certainly an asshole, but it’s not really gonna affect anyone’s life.

TL;DR anti-white racism makes as little sense as anti-straight homophobia. not even heterophobia; anti-straight homophobia

no, its tragic

september 11th, 1973 is the day the US overthrew the elected socialist president of Chile, Salvador Allende, and installed a pro-US dictator, augusto pinochet

what ensued where decades of repression and poverty for the Chilean people, and mass wealth accumulation for US companies

when this happens i go back to what triggered the thought and it usually works!

not always, and when it doesn’t i am left with nothing but the remembrance of my forgetting

this is our thinnest phone ever!

also because of how thin it is the battery is dogshit. don’t worry we sell an accessory to increase it! it costs 100$ and makes the phone 3x as thick 🙂

in 2020, they made people pay 60$ for 3 old games. people thought it was ridiculous.

in 2025, they’re making you pay 70$ for 2 old games.

lmao

nah, death to all intellectual property. it’s not better when it’s physical. in fact, in some cases, it’s much much worse; like with medicine patents

they didn’t include galaxy 2 in 3d all stars to make the suckers double dip 5 years later lol

anyways, if anyone here has decompilation knowledge and wants to help, the original mario galaxy has a decomp project and they have 21% of the code decompiled!

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Screenshot of a Bluesky quote chain.

The first post, by @DKThomp on Twitter, says: "Fascinating @benthompson vision of the future of the Internet—i.e., 'The Agentic Web' Scenario: Before I go to sleep, I tell ChatGPT 'Plan my 5-year-old's birthday next Saturday, budget $500. When you've made the reservation, email these 20 ppl a printable invitation to attend. Also my wife wants to go to England in mid-July. Find 5 plausible flights for the family and make several distinct itineraries. Finally, pls edit this work memo.'

When I go to sleep, the Al agent negotiates slots with two bowling alleys, buys a cake, emails printable invites, plans the trip, copy-edits, etc."

It is quoted by Drew Harwell on Bluesky: "Wouldn't do this in a million years".

This quote is then quoted by @cinemashoebox.bsky.social: "Waking up to 20 angry parents of my son's friends wondering why they've been sent an invitation to a BRITOTHDYA PRRRYT featuring a picture of Elsa with three eyes and tits bigger than her head. meanhile my wife is boarding a plane for her 176 hour flight to England via four layovers in Antarctica"
