I'm okay with political and encourage it as long as people have sound reasoning to back it up.

I've changed my mind on many political topics after a good discussion!

This is exactly what I was coming here to comment. This album was fucking astounding, complex, beautiful, intense, musical, destructive... Every single noise in that album was intentional and meant something. Trent was making music at the time that was so far above and beyond what anybody else was doing or has done since.

Then Atticus Ross joined. Now they make background music for movies. It is fucking heartbreaking.

It does indeed seem like that's the case. It seems to happen extremely frequently on Lemmy.

What? This reads as nonsense to me, apologies.

I didn't comment on religion, and the illiteracy aspect was completely irrelevant to what I stated. It was purely an example.

I think you misread what I said quite severely.

No, I'm comparing word usage and was clarifying why the statement was inaccurate.

Your definition isn't accurate and doesn't make sense in context. They don't see being Trans as an inherent part of the person.

By your definition, wanting to eliminate illiteracy would involve genocide against illiterate people; it's one hell of a jump.

Remember, you can't properly fight your enemy if you don't understand them.

Now I'm confused... What do YOU call a normal North American muffin?

Like a blueberry bran one or something.

Ah yes, nothing like a nice rum and water.

Yes, I get that. I was finally able to find several news sites reporting the amount of money funnelled to Israel in order to ensure the US has a small foothold in that area of the world. It seems a tad excessive, but politically understandable I suppose. Allies in that region are valuable, but goddamn that's a lot of money.

I also saw that this most recent payment structure was guaranteed for a certain time frame by Obama. Breaking the agreement off would be breaking treaties and guarantees. Not a great thing to do for America, but what's going on over there is not exactly a good look. I think that I now agree that Biden should pull aid from Israel.

Again, thank you for the discussion and explanations. It's nice when people respond instead of just mindlessly downvoting someone who is asking for details.

So... (and again, I'm trying to parse the situation, not attacking) Biden has been funding the war specifically and giving Israel weapons? Why? To what end? And please don't say genocide because that's not a tangible reward result for Biden or America. If they are doing the above, what do they get from it?

Anon forgot to add the Soulslike rip off.

So don't jump down my throat please but I don't understand this article. I have a couple of question that I would like an actual answer to and haven't seen addressed anywhere else:

"Team America World Police" was a mockable idea back in the 90s and early 2000s because America stuck its nose everywhere - wanted or not.

Now here I see people attacking a president because he will not interfere in something that shouldn't be America's business? As far as I was aware, America leaving other countries the hell alone would be a good thing on the world stage, no? Why not get mad that any sitting president hasn't interfered in the Uyghgur Genocide? Why just this?

Why is this particular conflict that has been ongoing for ages something worth blaming a current president for not interfering in?

The only thing I can really find online in the news are Republicans blaming Biden for the attacks on Israel which doesn't make sense with the response here. What the heck is going on?

I don't have a stance on this, I'm just trying to understand because it doesn't make sense to me so please don't take that as aggressive.

Edit: Downvotes? For trying to figure out an international situation? Man, I don't understand you sometimes, Lemmy. You can be so nonsensically goddamn hostile...
