Who the fuck is this person? I've known their face for years, I must get in on the joke. Also I think this next election may be the first that I don't vote for the president. Fuck this shit

This isn't about rocket league, I wish I were good at it, but if you'd like and you're not familiar with resources in your town/state I'm happy to see if there is any rental assistance stuff that you could access. Can be hard to find stuff like that sometimes but I work in social services and would love to help meow-hug

I hate the framing of Hamas as terrorists, if they are considered terrorists, The IOF should be too.

I was reading the 1988 charter and there are parts of it that are sketchy and contain anti semitic stuff, like saying that Jews control the world and media and that they use groups like the Freemasons to push the Zionist agenda. I think there is one quote about killing jews. But in the same charter they talk about aoming for Muslims, Christians and Jews to live peacefully together as they had after the Islamic conquest in the 7th century. And I recognize that the formation of Hamas is a reaction to colonization, displacement, murder and torture. Also I know they did re-write the charter in 2017 to explicitly state that they are militantly against the Zionist occupation and not Jews. It's interesting and evokes a lot of different conflicting feelings for me, I just would be super curious to see an interview with someone who has been part of Hamas for decades speak on this

Edit: I'm working on a very brief history of Palestine and I'm finally working on 1988-1995 so there is probably a lot of context I'm missing at this point in the history too and am really curious to keep moving forward and learn about it.

Love when people use their pretty privilege for noble causes

And he donated 50k of his own money? That's probably more than any actual celebrity has donated

Sounds like Israel was just biding their time to have a reason to genocide the Palestinian people, jfc.

Is there a way to get past the paywall? I don't know how to do that ;(

The class aspect is definitely something that pisses me off about it as well. EVs seem to be debatable when it comes to them being more environmentally friendly after all, but it seems like anything that is or appears to be better, ethical consumption choices are reserved for people with money (But also there's no ethical consumption under capitalism obvs).

I'm fortunate enough to have been able to purchase a new hybrid rav, it was so worth it but I did also go from a 97 Mazda with peeling paint that can't climb mountain passes and does like 17 miles per gallon lol.

I would not want to pay double for a new car to be able to do half the mileage and instead of just fueling up, having to find a fucking Walmart god knows where and sit in the parking lot for a half hour. Super inconvenient if you plan to do any long distance traveling
