Let me re-apply my analysis for you

Liberalism essentially encompasses the entirety of what is broadly considered acceptable within western politics, which is why you'll sometimes hear the term 'western liberal democracies', but for our purposes we are usually referring to the less immediately ~~fascist~~ genocidal end of the spectrum that like to consider themselves ~~progressive~~ pro-Palestine because they ~~engage positively with identity politics~~ denounce the genocide of Palestinians.

They aren't truly ~~progressive~~ unsupportive of Israel because they don't fundamentally challenge the systems and power structures that enable ~~these kinds of political developments~~ Israel's settler-colonialist project and the proliferation of ~~the "culture war"~~ Zionism in the first place, and are very often minimizing and hostile towards those who do take a principled stance against these systems. The extent of their political understanding is largely bound by establishment liberal media that has a clear stake in ~~the continuation of that very same system~~ Israel's statehood which is threatened by ~~any real material social progress~~ the existence of Palestinians on their own land. This contradiction often leads liberals into defending those systems and power structures even at the expense of ~~the marginalized groups that a liberal would purport to defend~~ the Palestinian cause, and lashing out against those to the left of them for not ~~"Knowing Their Place"~~ considering the feelings and safety of the Israeli settlers in a system that has for a very long time been ~~ratcheting~~ starving, removed, beating, generally dispossessing, and apartheid-ing itself towards ~~fascism~~ all-out genocide.

It's easy to denounce genocide and say you don't support Israel but if you aren't challenging the systems that led to this point; which even still in the face of this genocide are working overtime to normalize it in whatever angles they can; and confronting the relationship you have with settler-colonialism by default as a person born in the west, you aren't anti-genocide in any meaningful way that could actually end the genocide or prevent another from occuring. You are only reacting to the aesthetics of genocide; exclusive of the mechanisms that produce it; which makes you an unwitting, vibes-based cog in the genocide machine.

I have news for you

In Europe and Latin America, liberalism means a moderate form of classical liberalism and includes both conservative liberalism (centre-right liberalism) and social liberalism (centre-left liberalism).[26]

Yes they are.

Liberalism essentially encompasses the entirety of what is broadly considered acceptable within western politics, which is why you'll sometimes hear the term 'western liberal democracies', but for our purposes we are usually referring to the less immediately fascist end of the spectrum ~~(liberalism always eventually decays into fascism due to the utter disempowerment of any force with material interests in resisting the pull of fascism, but nevermind that for now)~~ that like to consider themselves progressive because they engage positively with identity politics.

They aren't truly progressive because they don't fundamentally challenge the systems and power structures that enable these kinds of political developments (loss of bodily autonomy, marriage equality, affirmative gender care, etc) and the proliferation of the "culture war" in the first place, and are very often minimizing and hostile towards those who do take a principled stance against these systems. The extent of their political understanding is largely bound by establishment liberal media which has a clear stake in the continuation of that very same system that is threatened by any real material social progress. This contradiction often leads liberals into defending those systems and power structures even at the expense of the marginalized groups that a liberal would purport to defend, and lashing out against those to the left of them for not "knowing their place" in a system that has for a very long time been ratcheting itself towards fascism.

Appears to be a woman from the images in their post history. Could also be a man that likes to wear acrylics, but all available signs are not pointing in that direction.

2-part epoxy resin, or UV resin if you have spare cash and a UV light (the sun) handy. Both are self-heating.

I'm a layman when it comes to cars but the tailpipe and fuel tank/charging port are some immediately accessible options.

I'd been using boost back when it was usable for reddit and just followed the app over to lemmy. I haven't used any other to compare but I don't have any complaints about boost. The look and feel outside of hexbear is very polished and has kept me loyal, you should give it a try!

I don't think there's an app that handles them well yet. I can see them on boost but they're not appropriately sized. Most hexbears browse the site on their mobile or desktop web browser.

I was referred to one by a friend personally, she gave me the name of the person that helped her find a job when she was unemployed. Apparently if your resume is shiny enough they will come to you via linkedin. Other than that there's looking up firms or individual recruiters on google or linkedin that have good relationships in your desired industry/locale, giving them your resume, and hoping for the best.

Linkedin job posts have a free tier which means a posting can be left up indefinitely whether the search is active or not. Indeed posts cost a minimum $5/day, so a given company would likely take the listing down if their search is not active. I've heard that Linkedin is actively resume harvesting, for what reason I don't really know (maybe training some resume AI?) so it could just be a rumor, but I have a chip on my shoulder about Linkedin anyways for trying to make a pay-to-win job search platform.

Whatever you do, don't apply at the individual job board. Go to the company's careers page to see if its even still posted and apply there. For whatever that's worth (not much in my experience).
