Then why would you call it "goy slop" and not just "junk food"?

I agree with you 100%, and it's hard to talk about it with less politically tuned-in people without coming across as conspiracy minded. But after the Cambridge Analytica exposé, I always have my guard up.

Oh....oh no. We don't need that energy in our lives, friends

(thank you for the explanation!)

I'm sorry to come across as ignorant, but exactly is a "chaser"? Googling "femcel chaser" didn't really...clarify anything...

Thank you for this! Anecdotally, I've been seeing this trend across all of the social media I use, and I think this is kind of solidifying a theory I've had for a while that there is some sort of active campaign to use this as a wedge issue to split the Democrat base.

Post-elections, I was seeing a lot less Israel-Palestine comments, but after the holidays I noticed an uptick again, which is consistent with your graph, and also with the rumors of Biden's ceasefire on the news.

There isn't any confirmed data to show that the anti-Genocide "stay at home" vote had any reasonable impact on the elections, but there are a lot of comments on multiple social media platforms I use that have people saying they didn't vote because of this single issue...and on Lemmy specifically most of them are 6-9 month old accounts. There are also many comments that are specifically blaming those voters for the election loss, and around 50% of them are also in the 6-9 month range. Too young of accounts to be from the Reddit exodus.

I'm slowly noting these as I see them because I'm not an admin or mod, just a regular user, and also my instance is pretty good about blocking bots. But something really odd is going on.

This is why I stopped procrastinating, too many sweats.

Yeah ngl, I don't really care for the more Elvish focus that Inquisition (and now I guess Veilguard) has. The best part of DA was always the mix of all the lores clashing.

The writing's been on the wall for a while hasn't it? Several of my non-Chinese classmates I graduated university with took Mandarin as their 2nd language since elementary school and speak it as well as the mainlanders (according to the Chinese exchange students, anyways).

You should play the original if you can, it really is the best Dragon Age game. Steam has a guide to get it up and running on modern machines.

Also, were you able to follow the story of Veilguard? I haven't played it yet (and honestly I might never) but I got the impression that it was pretty tied to the story of Inquisition.

A general strike isn't just about everyone going on strike, it's also about key sectors of the economy striking at the same time. If cargo airline workers, freight and trucking workers, and postal workers had a strike at the same time, national transportation logistics are suddenly looking pretty dicey aren't they?

You are closer to living in a tent like the people in Gaza than you are to the oligarchs that want to level it for their beachfront properties.

Remember that next time you want to dehumanize the 50 000+ people that are dead.

(And, no, I don't support Hamas)
