The narrative here is that the people committing war crimes are also sending soldiers to your city.

It doesn't matter if impeachment works. It needs to be said.

"It’s a lot of young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand."

Oh they understand. That's why they're so unhappy. But, this is exactly the take I expect from one of the most out-of-touch people on the planet.

It's also why both parties support Israel and neither will condemn their treatment of Palestinians. It's too easy to pivot the conversation to what the US has done for the past 25 years in the Middle East. In both cases a horrible terrorist attach led to an incredibly violent over-reaction.

That's what killed them.

Some kid 50 years from now is going to write a paper on the moral dilemma of calling ICE on a scam center.

I've lived in the southern USA almost my whole life. I am accustomed to racism, unfortunately, but Asian racism hits different. It's wild.

I feel like accidentally commenting there is a Lemmy right of passage. It got me, and continues to almost get me. They generally have good discussion.

There is a difference between giving some a gift you know they don't like and giving someone a gift that they don't like. It's literally the thought that counts, and as someone who has been married a long time, it's important to place the thought first and the gift a distant second.

If (when) I get another tie for Father's Day, I won't necessarily like, want, or need it, but I will still cherish and appreciate it. It's nice to get things you like, but it's much nicer to be loved and appreciated.
