I would love that. Just one more day, one more day a week to do my own activities. That would help so much with all the anxieties.

Now I want to see air hockey, but with propane instead of compressed air.

And pro-pain accessories.

Parasitic Vines

The pole is dead, but two different vines climbed it and branched out.

Die Kollegen können dann gleich mein noch ausstehendes Antifa-Demo-Geld mitbringen! Wir sind immerhin eine ANTIFAmily Platin-Familie!

Bin voll bei dir was die Anfangszeit angeht, aber dafür braucht es halt auch schon differenzierte Diskussionsbeiträge und kein gekreischtes “die israelische Armee ist die moderne SS!!!1elf”. Ich hatte bisher immer das Gefühl das differenzierte und ruhig vorgetragene Argumente hier stehen gelassen werden und es den Mods vor allem um verallgemeinernde Aussagen und Ragebaiting geht.

France is basically DDOSing the page, they are at 962% support

Holy moley, I signed yesterday and was sad that it was probably not going to make the cut, but that is an INSANE explosion of signatures. 990k now, this will work!

I think this is the problem here, the working definitions for feddit.org seem to be:

• Zionism = The state of Israel should exist.
• Anti-zionism = The state of Israel should not exist.

But there are different definitions, mostly centering about israeli ethnonationalism and settler-colonialism with the important inclusion in those definitions that Zionism contains a strong anti-palestinian/anti-arab sentiment and is inherently displacing. And then there is Neo-Zionism, which is a genocidal, far-right and ultranationalistic movement that wants to get rid of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West-Bank.

With the working definition of feddit.org you can absolutely be a Zionist and be pro-Palestine at the same time, with the Neo-Zionist definition, you most certainly can not.

Likewise there are definitions of anti-zionism that do not include the removal of the state of Israel, but mainly oppose the ethnonationalist and displacing/trending genocidal aspects of these other definitions of zionism.

You can rest assured, it’s not fake.

Hyalinobatrachium dianae, also known as Diane’s bare-hearted glass frog or Kermit frog, is a species of Costa Rican glass frog in the family Centrolenidae

Due to the frog’s resemblance to Kermit, the discovery attracted a substantial amount of attention in popular media. Tweets and news articles comparing H. dianae to Kermit helped images of the frog go viral. The attention prompted Disney to release an official interview where Kermit talked about H. dianae, saying, for example, “Googly eyes run in our family.”.

What Fritz doesn’t understand is that you can be very much in favor of the existence of the state of Israel, without supporting the current genocidal Israeli government. That one can be very much in favor of jewish life and culture all over the world, but support a two-state solution. That one can agree that Israel is an apartheid-state and still want to preserve it, only differently. That one can absolutely blame HAMAS for their violence and terrorism and at the same time support palestinian autonomy.

I’m sorry, every time I read a comparison between secret police and plain clothes officers, I feel obligated to post this rant:

If you believe that “plainclothes officers” are the same as secret police, you know jack shit about the Gestapo, the Stasi and MSS or even ICE, all of which are undoubtedly secret police forces.

Officers in plain clothes are just that, they are a part of the normal law-enforcement operation, operate under the law and report to normal chiefs, normal prosecutors and normal courts, inside constitutional limits. Even if the justice system is rigged, racist, out of whack, and heavily skewed, they still operate inside of it, they’re just sneaky about it.

Secret police on the other hand are often embedded as special units in organizations that otherwise operate as intelligence services and are therefore not easily recognizable to outsiders. A secret police force is an entirely different animal than just a couple of sneaky police officers. They are a quintessential feature of authoritarian regimes. Either de facto or even de jure unbound by constitutional limits, they are a tool of political repression and preemptive, unlawful violence. They are the ones who disappear people, they often run their own secret prisons and interrogation centers.

The fact that ICE is more and more morphing into a secret police service is FAR more alarming than the existence of plain clothes officers in the US.

Brown Esotericism was always a thing in Germany, there’s a german wikipedia page about it, psiram wiki has a chapter about “National Socialism and extremist right groups today” on their page about Esotericism.

This has been going on since the Third Reich and is one of the pipelines to bring economically better off people into right wing rethoric and thought patterns.

I’m a billionaire baby! I’ll pay a small fine and sleep at home.

Hell, maybe they’ll make me US secretary of health and human services

Paris! She’s in Paris!

The cuteness of the creature being a factor is something I absolutely understand. Although I’m entirely in love with arthropods and reptiles and all those creepy crawlers, I would still feel worse about the bunny.

It’s an instinctual thing, as mammals we’re genetically programmed to love baby mammals and protect them. We usually empathize more with them and some of us even tremble with good feelings when watching or touching them. It is inherently rewarding to pet them and to show them kindness. So it’s no wonder we can easily crush something like a roach or a fish. It’s harder with chicks and even harder with rats or baby kangaroos since they check more and more of the boxes activating that instinct.

Instincts just that though, we are completely able to ignore it, desensitize or rationalize. Luckily we’re (mostly) ruled by our minds and not our instincts.

He get’s two more rounds of voting, and will likely be elected in the third round. Otherwise the CDU/CSU will have to forward another candidate, since the election was for the party, not the candidate, they remain the strongest party and could propose anyone to be elected chancellor. But this might crash out the proposed coalition government if they think that the SPD cannot keep its promise to vote for him.
