osker posted:NPR morning edition had the congressional representative from Aipac, NJ just piling on olmar. The host was throwing softballs, so clearly they get paid too. I heard that this morning. The guy was asked if there is a "correct" way of criticizing Israel and instead of answering the question, he started talking about terrorism, Hamas, why Israel "needs" genocidal policy to survive, and on and on. But no answer.

Like that one: *points at a squirrel.* I'll have you know that our president did an EXCELLENT job at being able to tell which animal is which on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test that he took last year.

friendbot2000 posted:Name a religiously oriented hate-rally and I have been to it and participated in it. I was desperate to be liked, to be loved, to be accepted. That meant I had to hate. I had to hate better than anyone had hated before, which turns out was easy because I had this immense well of anger within me over all the years of bullying, abuse, and isolation. Hate was so easy because I spent 15 years loathing who I was. The effect was compounded by the school because I had what is sometimes referred to as "a little sugar in the tank". I am not fully bisexual, but sure as hell am not cis if that makes any sense. That meant I was filthy. No one liked me because I am a filthy sinner that had forbidden sexual feelings. I deserved all of this and that just made me hate more. That is what these places do to children. They turn them into monsters. I legitimately felt pity for the Covington School kids because I saw who they were and I knew how they got there. It isn't a pretty path for anyone to go down. It is utterly devoid of hope. I grew up with grandparents over summer vacation that took me to daily mass. (At the time I had undiagnosed ADHD, which kinda explains things a little now.) I remember sitting there willingly in church wishing that I could love God more because somehow the amount I did love God just wasn't adequate and I was going to go to hell. That poo poo really can brainwash you.

I remember sitting there willingly in church wishing that I could love God more because somehow the amount I did love God just wasn't adequate and I was going to go to hell. That poo poo really can brainwash you. Exactly. Pair that with knowing that you are not like the other kids on the playground and you have a setup for being radicalized by a hateful ideology. I always felt like I was waving through a window. The isolation and self-loathing is what drives a lot of people into the arms of these organizations. They can be saved. It is hard work, but they can be saved. I know not just because of my experience, but because I have saved 2 others from these feedback loops. The key is to wave back and show kindness. Yes, you will be attacked sometimes, but to save just one is to be one step closer to saving the world from hateful ideology. Each person you can bring out of these poisonous cesspools of loathing will go on to potentially save others. No one lives in a vacuum. A smile can make the difference between making someone decided to kill themselves that day. Some people will say I am buying into "hope-monger lies", but without hope what the gently caress do we have? What is the point without hope? I am not anti-religion by any stretch even with what I went through. I have been in a number of congregations and synagogues that preach love, compassion, and living your best life. I tend to live among a weird niche of Buddhism and Agnosticism hybrid now because it gives me much more peace and jives with my DBT mindfulness training that helps with my ADHD. As an aside, for those goons with ADHD and mood disorders, I cannot recommend DBT Therapy enough, but I digress. And no, I will never apologize for Dear Evan Hansen.

Yeah noticing the administration using 1488 repeatedly is a bit different than Qanon-tier "At the SOTU, someone named Jeff was sitting in the 8th seat of row C, Jeff's name starts with J and H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, in row C, J H C means Jail Hillary Clinton on Q's weird Mayan chart!

If you are rounding (haphazardly in two different directions), moving decimals AND converting units to get your special number you are way off into crazy town.
