Understandable. Here you go, this image shows a single person (to scale) off the coast of South Carolina: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/21959a6e-4413-4627-8dcf-76f88b314f72.jpeg
That’s a pretty creative interpretation of what I said. Whether a person is queer or not should not affect their support for a Palestinian state. My comment was specifically regarding the championing of Palestine in the context of a pride parade without also explicitly calling out the plight of queer Palestinians, something I have not seen any of them do. Without that, it’s akin to a workers’ rights march promoting the UAE.
Ackshually this only shows maps if 100% of the land area voted. Humans are much smaller than shown here.
Thanks for the source on that. It’s still questionable to choose it for this context specifically, but I crossed out my statement.
Did you reply to the wrong person? Because this doesn’t appear to have anything to do with what I said.
If it has nothing to do with Israel why do so many Zionists bring it up gay Palestinians in their debates?
It’s convenient for them to do so. It makes them hypocrites, but broken clock etc.
Do you believe Israel genuinely cares about gay Palestinians?
No, but again, what does that have to do with the way Palestinians treat their own?
Edit: Also Israel gave Hamas suitcases with cash to keep them in power. So you are wrong about Israel not being complicit. Palestinians have no self-governance because huge outside powers keep meddling in their affairs.
This is true, but I have yet to see any indication that self-rule would improve the lot of queer Palestinians. Their countrymen are overwhelmingly against them, and that is unacceptable. I don’t care about religion or arbitrary lines drawn on a map — I care about human rights.
The status of queer people in Palestine has nothing to do with Israel. There is absolutely nothing preventing Palestinians from stopping their persecution of their queer brothers and sisters. Deflections like yours are exactly part of the problem - you are throwing queer Palestinians under the bus just to fuel your crusade against Israel. What you are doing is actively harmful to LGBTQ+ rights.
It’s a legitimate complaint. In my part of Canada we have several pride parades led by pro-Palestinian groups, which is absurd not only because there are no Palestinians in it, but because nearly everybody in the parade would be persecuted in Palestine. A trans rights group I’ve been involved in for a while had a faction break away because we weren’t pro-Palestine enough (whatever that means).
I support the creation of a Palestinian state, but queer support of that cause must come with support of queer people in Palestine, rather than pretending they don’t exist.
Edit: also, nice nose on that comic. Time to check OP’s post history…
Yes, that one I was aware of. The rest of the law is sensible enough — not much different than what we see in Quebec, for example — but that clause is unacceptable.
Is this one of those NFTs the kids are talking about?
Do you have a source for that? I’m not aware of it and don’t want to be unknowingly defending them if that’s the case.
Basically, yeah. The vast majority of spambots are simple and lazy.
What year did you start playing, though? Back in 2005 the game was a revelation. The mundane gameplay you describe was pretty much how all games worked at the time.
Israel is not going to stop until all the territory of British Mandate Palestine is theirs, and all non Jews are removed from it, one way or another.
You’re aware that over 20% of Israel’s population is Arab, right?
they really made a gold standard game
They really did. I still remember the first time I logged in — pure magic. I’ve never felt that way about a game since.
I can’t believe there are still 500 people working on it after all these years. The vast majority of people I know who played (myself included) quit after Cataclysm or thereabouts.
I’m thinking get the person who can run and win in 8 years.
I think at this point it’s more important to pick the candidate that increases the chances of victory. Trump won’t be in any shape to run (or likely even alive) in 2028 and hopefully MAGA will have died along with him.
Also according to that site, Kamala Harris has 0.8% odds to be Kamala Harris’s VP
Yes. Try this one, there’s a banana next to the human: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/21959a6e-4413-4627-8dcf-76f88b314f72.jpeg
