I assume you mean under Bush Sr? The only Gulf war googling got me was the one in 1991, and that's a bit before my time. That's really cool that you have footage of the protests, are they available anywhere to view at all?

If you have it from a new iPhone, you can literally cancel it from your settings >> Apple ID >> subscriptions. I have no idea how to do it on any other Apple device (because I don't own any others) but I know my dad had a hell of a time cancelling something for his Macbook.
Good luck o7
If we're going to be pedantic, it's "at LAN parties".
And our experiences are very different. I went to a lot of LANs in the 2000s with my parents where there were many women participants. Not quite 50/50, but a sizeable percentage. 0% women at a LAN sounds like a culture issue to me.
It's really fucking weird to see the disconnect between the powers that be and regular people regarding Israel/Gaza.
I can't really think of anything in my lifetime that had the same disconnect. Was the invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq this protested? Vietnam maybe?
Nah "there's no girls on the internet" jokes in 2023 (or current year) are kind of cringe, and the only people I hear say jokes like that (even ironically) are in their 40s. Lemmy skews older, so I can see why we'd find that funny.
Nah bro, comparing not liking dogs to racism is actually crazy...
Dog haters have never committed generational war crimes because they don't like dogs.
There are better ways to say "not all dogs are the same" than "Imagine saying that about a black person" or sth. I just did.
Bro, this response is actually crazy
This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country's department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I'm petty and I have time.
Turns out, it's actually helpful, I had someone reach out to me saying they were investigating a certain company, and if I had any more information about the screenshot I sent them a year ago.
I'm not fancy enough to have all of this, but I have raspberries, mint, and honey. Time to experiment
edit: I am getting so many good tips here, I'll see if I can make something to post on Lemmy at a later date
...you can make tea out of raspberries?
I see we are also telling jokes from 2003.
Yeah, what you say about Iraq makes sense, but I don't remember mentions of extreme violence against specifically young protesters like we're seeing with the university encampments. I was also very young at the time, so I was definitely being sheltered from a lot of it.
That's why the comparisons to Vietnam sticks out more in my head, because that's probably the only other time historically I have been taught that there has been pointed aggression toward the younger generation about anti-war protesting.
But my perception may also be skewed because it is my peer group that is being targeted. Quite a few of my friends may or will have police records because they were at pro-Palestine protests and were unlucky enough to get caught by the police, and we still don't know how it'll impact them in the future.
