tiny cymbal video inspired me

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

This is Andrey X, a Jewish Israeli pro-Palestine activist.

I don't know how to describe this video so I'll just write out what he's saying:

That is the beginning of an Israeli settlement. And this is the Palestinian village of Umm al-Hiran. Which is right now under a demolition order, in order to expand the settlement that way.

And we are not in the West Bank. We are in the Naqab desert. Every single Palestinian in that village has an Israeli passport. And yet they're being expelled to make way for a Jewish settlement.

And look at the hills around us. This place is empty. If Israel wants to build a settlement, they can do it anywhere. And yet they choose to do it here. Because the only purpose of that settlement is to expel Palestinians from their land.

This is happen all over the Naqab desert. Currently 14 Palestinian Bedouin communities are under demolition orders. And thousands of people are set to become homeless.

This is the most blatant illustration that Israel is an ethno-nationalist apartheid state. The Palestinians of Umm al-Hiran have the exact same citizenship as the settlers who are about to move into their land. And yet the Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed just because they belong to an ethno-cultural group that the Israeli state wants to suppress as much as possible.

"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody

[utopians]

"what's the purpose of sex scenes in media??" well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even

[robogirldick]

yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait

[utopians]

you genuinely think that "the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad" is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that's the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I'm talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I'm talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I'm referring to when I'm arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that "well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad" is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X?

Unpopular opinion: All games should have the option to enable pausing.

And to save almost everywhere.

Yes even in soulslike games.

I am an adult who has a full time job and responsibilities. I get to play maybe an hour a week. I do not want to lose that hour of progress because devs decided 'pause' was not allowed in their game and I had sudden unexpected things come up that meant I had to quit the game without saving/leave it playing and hope enemies wouldn't respawn.

Also it would massively increase accessability. I have fully working non-injured hands and they still need a break after a tough boss fight. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for people with joint pain, arthritis, etc, etc.

The year is 2074. My phone has a stylish wooden case, grown in a vat since trees are extinct. The phone part is disposable, and was printed this morning (as it is every morning) and incorporates the latest security protocols to prevent infection from the semi-sentient Internet Of Things.

"You are ranked 113,015th for Assassination," my AI personal assistant whispers to me. "You have moved up thirteen places in rank since last night." It's no big deal; everyone is on the Assassination List. Apparently something my AI duplicate posted on tumblr pissed somebody off. I schedule a meeting with my duplicate to discuss the matter and forget about it for now.

Time for work! I don my Google-X Neuralink and start my day packing virtual boxes for Amazon-WalMart.

[ralfmaximus]

Lunch time arrives. My new AI supervisor (the third one this shift; management turnover today has been brutal) advises me that because we are behind quota I should skip lunch.

I sigh. Agree reluctantly, because it means a few extra Amazon Credits in my paycheck. So instead of taking a real break I download the sensation of a break, feeling instantly rested & refreshed.

The credits arrive in my account with cash-register ka-ching! sound effects, but they are authorized by my new-new AI supervisor, since the last one hallucinated an entire coworker who never existed, placing us even further behind schedule.

It's gonna be a long day.

[ralfmaximus]

9 pm arrives. Quitting time, finally. It's been a long day and my disposable phone's charge is nearly depleted, three hours before bedtime.

I arrive home late, the robotaxi having hallucinated a shortcut through an abandoned shopping mall parking lot and getting trapped by autonomous security guards. I ended up paying a $49 service fee to expedite the taxi's release, rather than wait for a human operator to respond from another time zone.

Missed our date with my robot girlfriend, but that's okay since my AI duplicate filled in for me. I am told the sex was magnificent.

I'm not gonna lie this is like the most inspiring tattoo I've ever seen I keep coming back to it and admiring it everything about it

My tattoo artist told me his teenage son came out to him as trans by giving him a bunch of blue cupcakes and a greeting card that said "it's a boy!"

"That's cute," I said.

"It was NOT cute!" he snapped. "I thought he was pregnant."
