That’s reddit. They don’t want their users to bleed and the mods that are left are scabs. It will be similar with other sites and it can feel like spam. The best thing you can do is populate the lemmy with HP info and hope it kicks off one day

When I was growing up, a lot of queer kids loved HP. There is a literal potion in the books that completely changes you to another person, including sex. I know a lot of millenial trans people who were able to come out referencing that potion and scene and how they could relate or wish they had that potion.

Imo, the books aren’t that good. For elementary and middle schoolers, sure, but I don’t think JK Rowling is a good author or world builder. I believe the IP/franchise relied heavily on the audience and Rowling backstabbed her queer fans. The same goes for the new game. It’s more open world drivel and I think the only way it got this big is because idiots kept talking about it.

With all of that said, having a community on lemmy that is about Harry Potter, and they are clearly pro-trans/queer, leftists/progressives, and ban any alt-right shitters then that is very good and powerful. It’s so powerful to get more HP fans in more leftist spaces so they can incept those ideas.

That’s a nope. Those days are long gone.

Deflecting again? Sure i didn’t use the right term but the meaning of what i said is the same. Israel wants to flatten Gaza and if they can carpet bomb it they would.

I am talking about general projects and nothing specific to coding. Unless I misunderstood their post.

I usually use it in conjunction with a Google Doc or something else. I guess i wouldn’t be surprised people completely use it for everything which I agree is dumb

What’s the issue with using Discord for communication for a group project? I understand for coding, and why not to use Instagram, but if it is just a group project why is Discord bad?

I am glad Israel doesn’t negotiate with Hamas and has decided to carpet bomb and glass Gaza.

Btw, how much video of the IDF fighting Hamas are there? It’s been over 100 days of fighting. I swear we’d have so much video of the IDF fighting Hamas.

Thank god most of us have some sense and awareness to differentiate actions “in the name of the free world” from good and bad actors. Clearly this is from good actors as Putin is clearly an enemy of the free world. Saying otherwise means ignorance or being bad faith.

Starfield for most innovative gameplsy? Am I missing something or do people on Steam ride that Bethesda cock hard?

🔫 Always has been

Google is not your friend when it keeps regurgitating AI generated articles and images. They aren’t your friend when the only way you can get “reliable” information is by appending ‘reddit’ at the end. They aren’t your friend when you search with clear terms and tags the suggested articles they present are recent $$$$$ boosted ones instead of clearly the popular article that broke the event.

They aren’t self aware to ask that.

Why get it then and support this bs? We got this trash because people kept buying Skyrim and circlejerking it

I had a feeling this was Youtube fuckery.

Has space bar stopped working for anyone else with Youtube? I keep spamming it and it sometimes doesn’t work.

Right? If they cared they wouldn’t have attacked.

The median age of Palestinians is 18 which means more than half weren’t alive for the vote of Hamas. Now, Hamas has dismantled any democracy so they can’t even take a diplomatic route. And Israel keeps bombing them making sure they continue the system of oppression which in turn spawns more radicals.

You are making excuses because you have vacuumed out all the nuance to this. You are ignoring the third party in this situation which are the Palestinians, the victims in all this. You say Israel is more evil, and that Israel has more power here, and you still relinquish their control and influence of this situation. You are effectively saying, “hey, as long as both sides don’t change leaders keep doing what you are doing!” This can’t be said and done when Israel is actively committing a genocide.

I’ve shown you already how easy it is to condemn both sides but hold enough poise and nuance to understand supporting the Palestinians has nothing to do with supporting Hamas. I’ve explained the reasons why this situation has occurred. Let me emphasize again:

A genocide is occurring in Palestine. A genocide is occurring in Palestine.* Once again for those in the back, a genocide is occurring in Palestine. A genocide purported by Israel, a genocide in which they have all control and power in stopping.

By doing what I stated. You remove the conditions for extremism to exist to make Hamas as unfavorable as possible. Then Israel can help host an election making it as fair as possible so a proper representative of their people can be elected. If there is enough favorability, good will, and no hopelessness, then hopefully Palestine will elect a better representative. This may take generations though.

If there is no reason to follow and support Hamas, then there is no reason for it to exist.

Fuck peace with Hamas. They need to be eradicated. We see what happened in Afghanistan and the Taliban. They would continue oppressing the Palestinians and hoard resources and other crap. I understand the sentiment as well, of wanting to make sure you don’t share a space or “border” with a terrorist organization.

What needs to be done is Israel needs to create the conditions where a diplomatic solution can be achieved. This means they need to stop assassinating journalists and diplomatic delegates. They must also make more concessions and promises (that can be made through legislation) that makes sure their power, water, electricity, internet and other basic necessities won’t ever be cut off. The internet one is a huge one because we need to make sure the Palestinians have a way to record and document things from their perspectives. We can see right now what cutting their internet has done. A lot of misinformation and propaganda.

Israel will need to make even more concessions like actually giving land back and minority protection. Stop using them as cheap labor (which is eerily similar to how Americans use immigrants). Help provide aid and funds to build schools and hospitals. You know how big this last one would be? The perspective towards Israel from the world, let alone Palestine, would be huge and open so many bridges of diplomacy.

Israel needs to stop taking away the basic things needed to achieve all this. They need to stop murdering innocent people. If I lost my home, my wife, and if I especially lost my son to an errant attack from Israel I of course would be pissed. Imagine now I am hungry, thirsty, living on the streets, sick. I understand why some Palestinians would take up arms, because at that point I would be starring at the end of my barrel. The deaths of innocents need to stop.
