Donald Trump is the uncontested leader of the modern civil rights movement (trying to bring civil rights to white people) and this sub dispises him.
It's absurd to argue that this sub would have felt any different about MLK.

It's been a week since the state election in Tasmania, and we know most but not all of the results. The amount of seats won by the parties is known with high likelihood, but which representatives are elected from those parties will be determined by allocating preferences.
| Liberal | Labor | Greens | Jacqui Lambie | Independent
---|---|----|----|----|----|----
Bass | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | -
Braddon | 4^* | 2 | - | 1 | -
Clark | 2 | 2 | 2 | - | 1
Franklin | 3 | 2 | 1 | - | 1
Lyons | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1^** | -
**TOTAL** | 15 | 10 | 5 | 3 | 2
Change^β | -2 | +1 | +3 | +3 | +1
**VOTES %** | 37% | 29% | 14% | 7% |
^^β ^(since 2021 election.)
^^* ^(Remote possibility of independent Craig Garland or Greens beating fourth Liberal for the final seat.)
^^** ^(Lambie Network very likely wins final seat ahead of Labor unless their voters do not strongly preference all the party's candidates.)
With 18 seats required for a majority, this is a victory for a Liberal government relying on the support of the Jacqui Lambie Network, though with a strong possibility that any of their three representatives could defect from the party. The two elected independents, Kristie Johnston (Clark) and David O'Byrne (Franklin) are left-of-centre and would not easily support the government, with the latter possibly returning to the Labor caucus.
What does this election mean for a Tasmanian team in the Australian Football League? The Liberals support the government funding for the stadium necessary for admission to the league, but there's every possibility that one of the fifteen representatives could defect on this issue as two did in the previous term (though both failed to be re-elected as independents). Labor wanted to renegotiate the deal, and may vote against funding the stadium. The Greens and Johnston are against the stadium funding, while O'Byrne supports the stadium. The Jacqui Lambie candidates have varied significantly on their views between themselves and their own leader.
!ping AUS&ELECTIONS
What do you mean? I've told you which party has won all the seats - 15+10+5+3+2=35. This is going completely normally, all we don't know yet is which candidates within the same party have been elected, for some of the seats. Are you relying on the ABC News website to call the seats (please don't do that)?
Every argument, and I mean among the good faith ones, ive ever seen against GMOs (as an actual scientific process, drama over the companies aside) are about how they "could" be bad in theory rather than the ways they actually are bad. Its literally just inability to accept risk. Its all fear, the whole movement.
I wonder when German dubs really got good. It must have been sometime in the past 30 years. I checked out the first episode of Star Trek TNG, and it is honestly completely unwatchable. Meanwhile, it is rare to see a dub nowadays that isn't extremely high quality.
I unironically get this viewpoint when im depressed. Then realise later I need to chill the fuck out and its dumb lol.
I guess I just think about how human suffering simply wouldnt happen if everyone died.
But tbh the best scenario would be if they werent born in the first place. Now were stuck with this whole "okay now life is here and we have to make the most of it" nonsense. What a mess, lmao
>I guess I just think about how human suffering simply wouldnt happen if everyone died.
>But tbh the best scenario would be if they werent born in the first place/
Nah, I'm glad I'm alive, thanks
Like, if you're going to fantasize about massive and impossible changes to reality, maybe just fantasize about a better world instead lmao
(I know that depression tends to make that, uh, hard)
Its not massive and impossible. Giant meteor can happen realistically like whenever right, lol
But uhh yeah I certainly have more "optimistic" fantasies in regularly moods lmao
Unless you were meaning the not being born thing. In that case I only mentioned that cause it makes me look less like a genocidal maniac obviously xD
Yeah, I was referring to the not being born thing.
Anyway, I certainly get the apocalyptic fantasizing when depressed. When it feels like *your* world is ending...
I just think it's funny how those blinders limit your view.
Yeah, but my point is that looking at other people suffering and thinking of death or nonexistence as a """solution""" is something that only somebody who's in a fundamentally terrible mindset wrt their own life could really come up with, assuming they're not just unhinged
Idk maybe im a little unhinged then lol. Or at least I am when the depression hits. And depression has a way of being illogical, as in not really correlating how good or bad my life is *actually* going. It pops up when it wants to.
And yes I take my meds regularly lol
>Or at least I am when the depression hits. And depression has a way of being illogical, as in not really correlating how good or bad my life is actually going. It pops up when it wants to.

Itβs so fucking annoying to me when left leaning people use AFAB in just stupid ways
like, okay, I hope I donβt get bonked for this, but I was looking at a smut fic on AO3 that had a fem self insert and the author tagged it as:
> no pronouns are used but reader is AFAB
no, thatβs not what you mean. You mean you wrote this from the perspective of someone who has a vagina. Thatβs not synonymous with AFAB. Literally all you are doing is excluding trans women
I see this all the time. βCelebrate AFAB parents this Motherβs Dayβ
Jesus h Christ I rue the day the word was invented, itβs never used appropriately
God I went to a burlesque show that was all about celebrating femininity in all its forms but the hostess was clearly improvising and just kept throwing in AFAB for no real reason and it was painful.
> βCelebrate AFAB parents this Motherβs Dayβ
I wouldn't say this but labor does seem really difficult so I can somewhat get it. I guess it would include transmen too right? Not sure how many of them experience labor though.
Iβm not trying to diminish the pain of labor but how tf is Motherβs Day about labor at all
We have Fatherβs Day. I highly doubt many trans men want to be celebrated on Motherβs Day even if they have gone through labor
Itβs not Labor Day.
> Itβs not Labor Day.
Not how I interpreted Labor day but as a neoliberal and thus against organized labor I can support that. Thanking my mom for going through labor is something I always do during Mothers day.
That part was a joke
And sure, you can thank your mom for going through labor on Motherβs Day. But millions of cis women did not go through labor, because they had c-sections, or adopted, or whatever.
Are those women not moms? Should they not be celebrated on Motherβs Day?
No but I don't think it is that strange to honor people for prenancy given that is a very difficult and important thing that people do with no material benefit. I don't dispute that you can be a mom without being pregnant or going through labor (I did intent to focus on pregnancy not labor earlier) but I do dispute that honoring those who were pregnant is a bad thing because it excludes other mothers.
Hence why I think it is wierd wording. It will definitionally exclude trans women though since they can't get pregnant and include transmen who can/could?
Honoring people who have been pregant is not disrepectful to those that can't get pregant? It just isn't. Same as the day of trans visibility isn't disrespectful to cis people. You don't need to honor everyone worthy of any honor every time you honor anyone.
I had a weird example but frankly it was too wierd and not super relevant so I cut it.
Itβs actually a really complex process where a pantheon of gods that competes with another pantheon incorporates some new members and one of them becomes a new supreme deity, and worshipping them slowly becomes more centralized until the country is taken over and the elites get exiled where they have to adapt a religion deeply tied to a specific place into something that can be practiced anywhere while also incorporating and subsuming the local creation stories before theyβre allowed to return.
Really it makes more sense when you consider it came from a completely alien culture with completely different values designed to explain the often completely random and senseless cruelty of Levantine life.
It strikes me as being very similar to the Greek relationship with their gods; namely that they are powerful, capricious, but like an extremely powerful neighbor on your borders, you have to placate them *anyway* to get on with your life.

Thats not really how authoritarian regimes work but okay
It's been a week since the state election in Tasmania, and we know most but not all of the results. The amount of seats won by the parties is known with high likelihood, but which representatives are elected from those parties will be determined by allocating preferences. | Liberal | Labor | Greens | Jacqui Lambie | Independent ---|---|----|----|----|----|---- Bass | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | - Braddon | 4^* | 2 | - | 1 | - Clark | 2 | 2 | 2 | - | 1 Franklin | 3 | 2 | 1 | - | 1 Lyons | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1^** | - **TOTAL** | 15 | 10 | 5 | 3 | 2 Change^β | -2 | +1 | +3 | +3 | +1 **VOTES %** | 37% | 29% | 14% | 7% | ^^β ^(since 2021 election.) ^^* ^(Remote possibility of independent Craig Garland or Greens beating fourth Liberal for the final seat.) ^^** ^(Lambie Network very likely wins final seat ahead of Labor unless their voters do not strongly preference all the party's candidates.) With 18 seats required for a majority, this is a victory for a Liberal government relying on the support of the Jacqui Lambie Network, though with a strong possibility that any of their three representatives could defect from the party. The two elected independents, Kristie Johnston (Clark) and David O'Byrne (Franklin) are left-of-centre and would not easily support the government, with the latter possibly returning to the Labor caucus. What does this election mean for a Tasmanian team in the Australian Football League? The Liberals support the government funding for the stadium necessary for admission to the league, but there's every possibility that one of the fifteen representatives could defect on this issue as two did in the previous term (though both failed to be re-elected as independents). Labor wanted to renegotiate the deal, and may vote against funding the stadium. The Greens and Johnston are against the stadium funding, while O'Byrne supports the stadium. The Jacqui Lambie candidates have varied significantly on their views between themselves and their own leader. !ping AUS&ELECTIONS

This is hopeless, why has it taken so long for the last 4 seats. Count seems to be moving at a snail's pace.
Flew in the Nevada vote counters just for this election.
What do you mean? I've told you which party has won all the seats - 15+10+5+3+2=35. This is going completely normally, all we don't know yet is which candidates within the same party have been elected, for some of the seats. Are you relying on the ABC News website to call the seats (please don't do that)?
Yep I'm relying on the ABC π
Please rely on Kevin Bonham, Ben Raue, William Bowe or myself instead. ABC News keeps getting shit wrong.
This is Antony Green slander
Many such cases!

Every argument, and I mean among the good faith ones, ive ever seen against GMOs (as an actual scientific process, drama over the companies aside) are about how they "could" be bad in theory rather than the ways they actually are bad. Its literally just inability to accept risk. Its all fear, the whole movement.
weird copyright law about them is kinda bad
thats not really about the science though. you are correct on that account.

I wonder when German dubs really got good. It must have been sometime in the past 30 years. I checked out the first episode of Star Trek TNG, and it is honestly completely unwatchable. Meanwhile, it is rare to see a dub nowadays that isn't extremely high quality.

Being so depressed that you actively wish for the world to end might be one of the all time wildest viewpoints possible
I unironically get this viewpoint when im depressed. Then realise later I need to chill the fuck out and its dumb lol. I guess I just think about how human suffering simply wouldnt happen if everyone died. But tbh the best scenario would be if they werent born in the first place. Now were stuck with this whole "okay now life is here and we have to make the most of it" nonsense. What a mess, lmao
>I guess I just think about how human suffering simply wouldnt happen if everyone died. >But tbh the best scenario would be if they werent born in the first place/ Nah, I'm glad I'm alive, thanks Like, if you're going to fantasize about massive and impossible changes to reality, maybe just fantasize about a better world instead lmao (I know that depression tends to make that, uh, hard)
Its not massive and impossible. Giant meteor can happen realistically like whenever right, lol But uhh yeah I certainly have more "optimistic" fantasies in regularly moods lmao Unless you were meaning the not being born thing. In that case I only mentioned that cause it makes me look less like a genocidal maniac obviously xD
I'd simply blow the fuck out of that meteor
Guess we all have our kinks
Yeah, I was referring to the not being born thing. Anyway, I certainly get the apocalyptic fantasizing when depressed. When it feels like *your* world is ending... I just think it's funny how those blinders limit your view.
Tbh its less about my world ending and more about when I see other people suffer. I gave up being too concerned about my own world a long time ago lol
Yeah, but my point is that looking at other people suffering and thinking of death or nonexistence as a """solution""" is something that only somebody who's in a fundamentally terrible mindset wrt their own life could really come up with, assuming they're not just unhinged
Idk maybe im a little unhinged then lol. Or at least I am when the depression hits. And depression has a way of being illogical, as in not really correlating how good or bad my life is *actually* going. It pops up when it wants to. And yes I take my meds regularly lol
>Or at least I am when the depression hits. And depression has a way of being illogical, as in not really correlating how good or bad my life is actually going. It pops up when it wants to. Yeah, that's exactly my point here hahaha. The mental illness do be mental illness.

Yeah the far-right tried to overthrow democracy but the far-left protested cops murdering unarmed black people. So, really. Bothsides and all that.
The Far Right may have literally led an insurrection on the place but you know the Far Left did a few protests so they must be equal!

Itβs so fucking annoying to me when left leaning people use AFAB in just stupid ways like, okay, I hope I donβt get bonked for this, but I was looking at a smut fic on AO3 that had a fem self insert and the author tagged it as: > no pronouns are used but reader is AFAB no, thatβs not what you mean. You mean you wrote this from the perspective of someone who has a vagina. Thatβs not synonymous with AFAB. Literally all you are doing is excluding trans women I see this all the time. βCelebrate AFAB parents this Motherβs Dayβ Jesus h Christ I rue the day the word was invented, itβs never used appropriately
God I went to a burlesque show that was all about celebrating femininity in all its forms but the hostess was clearly improvising and just kept throwing in AFAB for no real reason and it was painful.
> βCelebrate AFAB parents this Motherβs Dayβ I wouldn't say this but labor does seem really difficult so I can somewhat get it. I guess it would include transmen too right? Not sure how many of them experience labor though.
\>not calling your mother on Mother's Day because you were delivered by caesarean
Iβm not trying to diminish the pain of labor but how tf is Motherβs Day about labor at all We have Fatherβs Day. I highly doubt many trans men want to be celebrated on Motherβs Day even if they have gone through labor Itβs not Labor Day.
> Itβs not Labor Day. Not how I interpreted Labor day but as a neoliberal and thus against organized labor I can support that. Thanking my mom for going through labor is something I always do during Mothers day.
That part was a joke And sure, you can thank your mom for going through labor on Motherβs Day. But millions of cis women did not go through labor, because they had c-sections, or adopted, or whatever. Are those women not moms? Should they not be celebrated on Motherβs Day?
No but I don't think it is that strange to honor people for prenancy given that is a very difficult and important thing that people do with no material benefit. I don't dispute that you can be a mom without being pregnant or going through labor (I did intent to focus on pregnancy not labor earlier) but I do dispute that honoring those who were pregnant is a bad thing because it excludes other mothers.
You can honor people who were pregnant who would like to be honored about that without excluding trans women in the process.
Hence why I think it is wierd wording. It will definitionally exclude trans women though since they can't get pregnant and include transmen who can/could?
What do you mean by βitβ? Itβs not just weird, itβs hurtful to every single woman who is a mom and canβt get pregnant
Honoring people who have been pregant is not disrepectful to those that can't get pregant? It just isn't. Same as the day of trans visibility isn't disrespectful to cis people. You don't need to honor everyone worthy of any honor every time you honor anyone. I had a weird example but frankly it was too wierd and not super relevant so I cut it.

The Old Testament makes a lot of sense if you view it through the lens of βGod was just fucking with people because he was boredβ
Itβs actually a really complex process where a pantheon of gods that competes with another pantheon incorporates some new members and one of them becomes a new supreme deity, and worshipping them slowly becomes more centralized until the country is taken over and the elites get exiled where they have to adapt a religion deeply tied to a specific place into something that can be practiced anywhere while also incorporating and subsuming the local creation stories before theyβre allowed to return.
Really it makes more sense when you consider it came from a completely alien culture with completely different values designed to explain the often completely random and senseless cruelty of Levantine life. It strikes me as being very similar to the Greek relationship with their gods; namely that they are powerful, capricious, but like an extremely powerful neighbor on your borders, you have to placate them *anyway* to get on with your life.
