It's more like beatboxing or drumming, in the case of the jumping spider.

The corporate version of " please don't get mad" except blood-sucking parasitic corpos aren't cute

I think it's time to go back to books and zines. Less time-consuming, easy to produce & distribute, won't try to fuck you over, etc.

I would say the first book of Dune has a pretty strong amount dealing with family throughout.

Hasn't evolutionary psychology been heavily debunked at this point?

I think it's much easier to say that dudes have it hammered into their heads that girls are bad at games, so when they underperform and a girl is on their team, they feel emasculated. This isn't too far off from when dudes end up losing their 'bread winner' status in their relationship. They were told they had explicit traits to exhibit and they failed to do so, so it hits them in their self esteem. Classic fragile masculinity.

Patriarchal conditioning makes way more sense than "caveman brain HATE competing with woman!".

It seems like he's saying that the only way forward for humanity is factory farming, which is a rather bleak conclusion to arrive at, considering how cruel on many levels it is.

It's also important to talk about the many major breakthroughs which led to the massive drop in famine, the discovery of ammonium nitrate synthesis for example. Quite often I think these breakthroughs can benefit crop yield in any farming situation - not just factory farming.

Not only that, but a significant portion of the world population still live off subsistence farming. [Wikipedia states that in 2015, it was estimated that almost 25% of the world's population (2 billion people) lived off subsistence farming. So it isn't like subsistence farming is wholly ineffective.

I also don't know about championing factory farming as the way forward is the right idea when factory farms regularly throw out massive portions of edible produce over giving it away. They will actively waste massive amounts of food to ensure their crop value does not drop, a massive inefficiency of our system. Its only reasonable when the alternative is to starve due to living within a capitalist society, where your whole existence is perpetuated solely by your ability to accrue currency.

Yeah, I pulled open those clips from @zerfuffle and had an "oh damn" moment. It sounds identical.

Alright, gonna be a skeptic.

We're seeing an Israeli news source followed by an IDF statement with IDF evidence, so a conflict of interest does exist with these sources, though that doesn't mean either is lying. That being said, if Israel did deliberately target a hospital in Gaza with as many eyes on Gaza as there are, that'd be a really fucking stupid move. At the same time, If they did, lying and completely fabricating everything is in their highest interest. At minimum, though, I think that any trustworthiness one would associate with journalists or military Intel be thrown out, and the evidence be viewed with skepticism

There is also some oppositely damning evidence in circulation. GeoConfirmed apparently did their own locating of where the video occurred, and - if accurate - from the videos perspective, the missile was moving northwest, from the direction of Israel. They are also A third party in this, though, so their bias is not immediately determinable from this one tweet, nor can the factuality be easily confirmed.

We're still in the fog of war, and simultaneously a war for our minds and support is being waged. I am going to wait for more information from more parties to arrive.

EDIT: I previously stated the tweet I linked claimed the missile was moving north east, which it doesn't - that's my misphrasing. The tweet I linked specifically repeats the falling shrapnel story - though the evidence they show shows the camera looking southeast, with the missile coming from said direction towards the camera. I've rewritten it to be more clear.
