Transcript & Alt ID: Poster labeled 'Israeli Propaganda' that details various types of propaganda tactics, each with a color coordinated label.

Greenwashing - Israel appeals to environmentalism in order to deflect attention from or mask its harmful practices. EX: JNF tree-planting campaigns of invasive species.

Redwashing - Israel appeals to the image of progressive politics on order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: Historic exclusion of non-Jewish workers from unions

Bluewahing - Israel uses humanitarian aid campaigns in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: 'Water infrastructure upgrades' that divert 6x more water to settlers than to Palestinians

Pinkwashing - Israel appeals to LGBTQ+ rights in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: blackmailing queer Palestinians into being informants under the threat of being outed to their communities. (transcriber's note: I don't feel this is a good example of pinkwashing, I think that mentioning that Israel has a habit of promoting itself as a safe haven for LGBT+ folks, and promoting Palestine solely as homophobic, in order to justify their actions is a more appropriate example)

Purplewashing - Israel appeals to women's rights and feminism in order to deflect attention from its harmful ideals. EX: Israeli Occupation Force drafts woman to military service by law to participate in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Faithwashing - Israel appeals to interfaith dialogue in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: conflating Zionism and Judaism in order to accuse all criticism of Zionism as anti-semitic.

REJOICE D2 COMMUNITY

because someone finally uploaded all of his screenshots on a google drive for convenient acess and where he's not going to lose them for good once his PC decides to give out for the 8th time in the past 4 years

Anyway, a preamble for those inclined:

Most of these are pretty old, furthest dating back to about July 2019, so expect a number of them to be...lesser than others, and possibly compressed to shit/poorly cropped - i didn't know what i was doing at the time. BUT the good news is that the fresher they are by the date the better they get, so expect higher quality the further you go down the list

This at large is meant to document and immortalize the content that since had long been removed from the game, but it also includes stuff and destinations that are still available. Downloading and use is encouraged, do whatever you want

I hope this is a trip down memory lane for any community oldies - it definitely was for me while i was sifting through them lmao

And the last note. I have not had acess to any new content beyond the Witch Queen expansion and the seasons that followed it since it is currently region blocked in my fuckass terrorist country, hence why the latest of these are dated back to 2022. I miss this game immensely, my days for the past 3 years had not been the same without it; i will always keep it and the memories made in it close to my heart. This is as much an archive as it is a lover letter to this flawed but wonderful game. I hope you enjoy these as much as i do

What to expect:

Supreme Court Ends Porn As We Know It In Historic First

The ruling marks a major change to longstanding First Amendment protections for online pornography.

Well, stuff just got interesting.

"The 6-3 decision is a major change in First Amendment law as applied to the internet and will likely lead more states to enact similar age verification requirements across the country. Porn sites that do not wish to comply will likely entirely block access in states with age verification laws, as PornHub, the largest online pornography site, did in Texas after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law in 2024."

"At issue is the 2023 Texas law HB 1181, which seeks to limit minors’ access to porn sites by requiring everyone to provide age verification — meaning proof of identity — in order to access such sites."

"The law, which had remained in effect during the appeal to the court, will now remain in effect. It places onerous fines, of $10,000 per day and $250,000 if a site is found to have allowed a minor to gain access, on sites that allow minor access by failing to verify users’ age. But the law exempts search engines, social media sites and service providers."

"Eighteen states, including Texas, have laws in effect that require age verification for pornography sites. Another six states have enacted such laws that are not yet in effect."

ello there! Apologies for the ask but this thought has been stuck in my mind for a bit and since you are the Resident Hatake Gal™ I thought that you would be the one to most likely have an answer. That question being what the time frame was with sakumo failing the mission and his death.

I don't recall it ever being stated in canon and it's never really brought up in the fandom. Or if it is I'm just oblivious and miss it which, in that case, my bad ^^'. But I'm quite curious as by going off some of the info canon and you have gathered the time frame doesn't seem to be very long.

And something I've noticed when it comes to any flashbacks or even scenes of sakumo is that the length of his hair varies. Some scenes have it short (Like with the baby gai and kakashi meeting) while some have it longer. And while I could be wrong on this, in the scene where minato talks to obito about sakumo, when it gets to the part of his death it looks as if sakumos hair is short. While in the ending 33 (I believe? Sorry if I'm wrong) sakumos hair is longer.

Im going to assume that short haired sakumo was before/shortly after the mission while long haired sakumo was after the mission. But then that brings up the question of how long exactly was the time between the failure of the mission and his death.

And I know this is anime and Naruto at that but hair doesn't just grow overnight. And while I am by far not an expert on hair nor old men I assume that to get to that length of hair would take a couple of months, hell maybe a year. And I'd assume that as you age the growth of your hair would slow due to, yknow, growing old and your body gradually falling apart.

Honestly, to me, I'd make the most sense if there was around maybe 6-8 months between sakumos mission and his death. But then again the Naruto timeline is so funky that I barely even know wtf is happening and when half of the time.

Sorry again fir the ask! And sorry if I was yapping too much. The tism took one look at the hatakes and called dibs so they've been rotating in my brain like a goddam. Rotisserie chicken for the past week or so. The main reason for this ask was 1. Because I was mentally reviewing the timeline and was stuck when it came to this. 2. I want to (try) and write a fanfic to feed and calm the beast that is the tism. And 3. I'm tired so the overwhelming shame and anxiety I'll inevitably have in a couple of hours for daring to be remotely social haven't kicked in yet.

God this is so long. I'm so sorry. While I'm at it I also heavily apologize for spam liking a lot of your posts. In general I just apologize for everything. Wish I could've put this on anon but I know that some anons can be unhinged and little bitches so it's understandable! Anyway uh goodbye and I hope you'll have a great rest of the week!

Hiii ☺️ sorry it took me a couple of days to answer, life was lifing as usual 😅

Wow! You really got me thinking of things I've never even considered before.

Okay so since Naruto timeline is so weird that we all have to come up with all kinds of headcanons to make sense of it which resulted in so many contradicted headcanons going against each other, I'm going to only consider the official and canon sources regardless of the scenes we have from filler episodes.

So the first canon fact that we have in the manga about Sakumo's cursed mission is that it happened 5 years before the Kanabi bridge incident (which was when Kakashi was promoted to Jounin)

So this was speaking about the mission itself not his death and according to Boruto which is unfortunately official, Kakashi was promoted to Jounin when he was 12 years old so this means he was 7 years old when Sakumo had that mission. And according to the novel "Kakashi Retsuden" which is also official Kakashi wasn't even 10 when Sakumo died

So it means he was about 9 years old when Sakumo died so that means that the poor man spiraled in depression for 2 years until he reached the point of taking his own life 💔 which now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense because it doesn't happen over night to reach this point and reading this part of the manga again

It does seem like it took a lot of time for the damages to reflect in the village and then a lot of abuse and bullying by everyone for both Sakumo's body and soul to deteriorate this much, like he must have stopped training or going to mission for a good time for his body to also get weaker along with his mind 😢😢

Now about his hair! I thought about this a lot and yeah for his hair to go from this

To this...

It takes time... And I mean TIME!! Like, I'm talking years!!.

And thinking about it now, those scenes of short-haired Sakumo were all with pre academy Kakashi. specifically, the ones with little baby Gai and Dai were when Kakashi was accepted to the academy and since we know from the manga that it only took Kakashi one year in the academy before he graduated at 5 years old this means that Kakashi was 4 when we last saw short-haired Sakumo. However the ones with long-haired Sakumo were from Kakashi's memory of Sakumo after his death and from Kakashi's meeting with Sakumo in the afterlife which also made me notice the way short haired Sakumo looked so much younger and healthier than long-haired Sakumo

So assuming that the way Sakumo looked during his meeting with Kakashi in the afterlife was the same way he looked right before his death especially that Kakashi himself during that meeting also looked the same way he did before his own death too.

So that wrinkles-free short-haired Sakumo screenshot on the left (when Kakashi was 4) was 5 years before that tired looking older long-haired Sakumo on the right (when Kakashi was 9) and I believe those 2 years of depression, stress and abuse contributed greatly to how old and tired he looked before his death because even tho you can grow your hair that much in 5 years, usually people do not get this old in 5 years unless they weren't in a healthy state of mind and body which definitely can make people age way faster than they should 😓💔
