I've been reading reddit-logo comments, and I just learned a new word. INFLATION!

There's a large Arab population in the Central Valley.

The only nation that violates more UN resolutions than the US is Israel.

It's disgusting that they use that talking point to insulate their egregious fixation.

If I see another Zionist mention babies one more time, I might just lose my shit.

So the red scare propaganda flyers of "kidnapped" Zionists have made it to the city where I live. So far, it seems to be sock puppet social media accounts gaslighting about beheaded babies. And while there are enough people calling out their bullshit, there are enough buzz phrases being regurgitated that consent is being manufactured for their revisionist shit takes. If anyone has suggestions on addressing their bullshit before I start chanting Death to America, I would love to be able to use this as a learning experience for myself and be able to express myself in a way that doesn't signal my utter disgust in their presentation.

Edit: so far I'm remaining behaved by using fact based talking points in the face of genocidal freaks repeating their whataboutisms, and I'm getting frustrated with myself.

I was listening to NPR earlier. The program was On Point, and I just want to say that Julia Steinberg is a Zionist ghoul.

My partner and I have friendships with two couples. Both couples are married lesbians. Both couples are viewed as community leaders. For simplicity I'll refer to each couple as "KB" and "KR".

KB are overwhelmingly neoliberal. KR are leftist leaning liberal.

KB are frustratingly capitalist. The breadwinner is a realtor. Both are overly materialistic and wasteful. They own a luxury diesel truck and a new Subaru. And this might be my most frustrated gripe, but both of them quietly refer to service tradepersons as servants. They spend lavish amounts of money on masquerading as feminists. They often cosplay for any event they attend. They have overwhelming support from the majority of our community yet constantly cause drama amongst our community members. They have a "community" swimming pool that is ultimately exclusionary and invites superficiality.

KR are community driven. They regularly hold events that support the entire community. They've chosen minimalism and share an electric vehicle (not a Tesla). They can be assholes towards service tradepersons, although I think much of it is due to ignorance and malinformed expectations. They are very true to themselves and do not masquerade. They also have strong support from the community, but the support is genuine. They don't have a swimming pool. LoL.

I've had healthy disagreements with KR, but KB wants to punch down anytime there's a disagreement, so I avoid conflict in order to not cause any rifts even though I often disagree with KB often.

Ultimately, I believe this boils down to my disdain for fakeness, but I can't announce my disapproval as "fake" because the community will label me as a bigot.

So I just want to ask y'all because I trust you. Am I being a bigot? Are my frustrations misplaced? I realize everyone here doesn't have the same assessment I do, but I've attempted to do my best to describe each partnership as succinctly and comprehensive that I can on a forum.

If my frustrations are misplaced, please tell me without regard for feelings. If my frustrations are valid, I don't need additional validation because I don't want to subscribe to an ego that could cause further division due to support.

Mostly, I don't want to feel guilty because I don't have blanket support for people that are not representative of ideals that I feel are valid.

However, I am open to suggestions and guidance on navigating each of these friendships without creating rifts that divide our community. I want to be supportive towards any group that doesn't always have overwhelming community acceptance.

I want to visit him dressed as Antifa Rufio or send him some communist literature, maybe a picture of Karl Marx or Frederich Engels. Really just anything to make his stay in prison worse than it already is.

I found a mailing address for the Northern Neck Regional Jail where he was being held prior to his sentencing, but I did an inmate lookup for that location, and there are no results for him there any longer.

He has a registry in the federal inmate search, but it doesn't disclose his location.

Also, any idea what would get tossed by the guards who screen his mail if I send him pictures or letters? I want to make sure he has to see what I'm sending.

In the meantime I've just been commenting on old tweets from proud boys that praised him back in 2018 for his participation in the Portland proud boy rallies.

I'm just doing my part.

I started playing this last night, and I'm trying to fly towards the green diamond thing, but I swear I'm not going anywhere. Is there a way to calculate the remaining distance to a location?

I just checked the area where I have my grain spawn bags, and the temperature was 84f. I quickly moved them to a cooler area. I don't know how long they were at 84f, but when I checked the temperature a few hours ago, it was only 71f.

This has been my first time successfully getting growth in spawn bags and I don't want to fuck it up.

Also, when is the best time to transfer them to the fruiting chamber? My spawn bag is almost fully colonized.

They're cubensis.
