This is also kinda racist?

"I want a Japanese woman but she also shouldn't look Asian. Peel her epicanthal folds off. Make her skin white. In fact get rid of the whole Asian woman."

You just missed the whole point of this endeavor, now get the fuck out of my office.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

Anyone who has played Sim City 2000 knows why this is a bad idea.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

It's a huge mistake to let fascists get wins so that we can conserve our resources.

We're the ones with the numerical advantage.

They are the ones who need to carefully steward their resources to deploy in the right place at the right time.

They can't win a battle of attrition.

I've had white people tell me I need to "listen to Black people" when I disagree with them. When I tell them I'm Black, they claim I'm lying. Funny how that works.

When Americans are losing arguments online, they immediately go for what they think is the killer blow: saying you're pretending to be an ethnicity online.

The 2016 elections cooked so many people's brains to a crisp.

You're talking to a communist btw @eviecorwell.etheirys.social · 9h

Genuinely can't believe I had an American accuse me of faking my nationality and then trying to lecture me about my own country's History and pretending like the US actually helped us instead of sponsoring a brutally repressive military regime. I'm so fucking exhausted of these people.

It's so weird to me that we as a society stop valuing someone's life the moment they get locked up (whether they are guilty or not).

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

Have you possibly considered actually listening to the voices of marginalized people who have lived under the US regime's oppression for generations on end, rather than throwing your hands up in the air and scromiting, "Well it's different when it affects *me*"?

In my opinion MAHA and anti-vax policies are too. They want to make us healthier by killing off all the "unhealthy" people.

Adding to this, studies have shown Christians are more receptive to social justice when those actions backed up by Bible verses.

Every single white person I've met has either had to in the past, is currently trying, or needs to deconstruct their internalized racism.

🧵 regarding the shutdown:

The Democrats aren’t being clear enough about this but we can be: this shutdown is about saving lives.

If we don’t reverse the Medicaid cuts (and the ACA subsidies on insurance bought through the exchanges) that Republicans made this year, people will die.

This doesn't just affect rural areas. All those rural people who survive the 2+ hour transport are going to drown the capacity of remaining hospitals. There will be pain, injury, and death for everyone to share.

Yep, every single "anti-theist" I've met has been an annoying fool. They don't limit their proselytizing to just religion, either. They will preach about every other topic, too (e.g. why they think capitalism is the best system). Needless to say, they are ignorant about all those subjects, too.

Atheist proselytizers are the religious proselytizers I’m most likely to come into contact with and they’re just as annoying as all of the other ones I experience

One of the themes in the replies here is that "At least atheist aren't ruining the country like the Christians." And like, a significant part of the Trump movement comes from GamerGate, which had serious over lap with the mid 2010s capital A Atheism.
