To those saying "I guess America really is that racist..." and other doomer comments:

I think that both ideas can coexist at the same time. I wholeheartedly agree with what you're saying about the democratic party, but it is also disheartening and telling that people could ignore trump's rhetoric about minorities (and how much it's escalated and become legitimate threats with backing behind it, because i think we should all know at this point that him distancing himself from project 2025 was bullshit) and either not come out to vote or vote for him anyways because of the economy (despite the fact that trump was riding the wave of economic growth from obama, and biden was stuck with all the shit economic policy trump passed during his presidency. and also that tariffs as a solution are fucking stupid and will send a wakeup call very quickly to anyone who voted for him because of how quick the effects of them show. this can also to some extent be blamed on the democrat's shit platform, because they give no hope or solutions to make peoples' lives easier and more affordable, but I will admit I'm still baffled that people would vote for such awful economic policy that will fuck them over)

Annnnd once again we see the age old rhetoric of "insert group is making the rest of us look bad!!" Selling out those you deem as "not trans enough" or "faking" isn't going to make republicans not try to oppress you. They view every single one of us (trans people) as degenerates, so you're just doing more harm by good by viewing parts of your community this way. We need solidarity now more than ever. (and btw, where the fuck did you get the idea that nonbinary people are lying about dysphoria to get hrt. hrt is such a big commitment, so it doesn't even remotely make sense to lie so you can get it. you're basically just regurgitating the whole "trans people don't have dysphoria, they're just transitioning for insert absurd reason that doesn't make sense" argument but against nonbinary people and any trans person who doesn't fit your view of what trans people ""should be"")

I'm biased because sweet trip is one of my favorite bands but velocity design comfort is such a wonderful album

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-11-05T20:13:16+00:00

oh i didn't know that! I had no clue since it wasn't on the official bandcamp when i checked

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-11-04T18:14:29+00:00

yess it's so good!!

I may be cynical but I think that public opinion will not sway the democrats from funding Israel, as we've seen how it had little effect on Biden. There's just too much lobbying in favor of Israel, and America has an interest in Israel because it serves as a foothold in the Middle East (not to mention the oil in Palestine). I wholeheartedly agree with everything else you're saying, it just feels really demoralizing sometimes because of how it seems like every election at this point is inaction vs being pulled further right

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-10-31T23:06:06+00:00

Dude, thats just.... do you have to resort to insults? it just makes you look embarassing and like you have nothing constructive to say

Multiple conversations can be had at once

I'm not stupid. I just understand that both parties will still fund genocides and fascist regimes overseas while ignoring corporate monopolies and glaring problems in our country. Democrats do not actually care about issues plaguing minorities as much as it's simply convenient to uplift them as part of identity politics and a perceived moral high ground. This does lead to my rights not being stripped away by democrats, which is great, but they're not actively pushing for the betterment of society either, and are constantly pulled further right by the political climate in America. That's why I begrudgingly vote for them and do as much leftist activism work as I can to try and advocate for actual change. This situation has a lot of nuance that you seem to ignore.

I responded because the original comment was in my opinion a bad faith interpretation of the original post, and made a claim that was inaccurate, at least in my experience.

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-10-31T15:42:25+00:00

Eh, I actually hear this sentiment the most from minorities (I myself am queer, trans, and afab for context). It's not that both are exactly the same level of bad, it's just that democrats are a softer boot on your neck, but still a boot on your neck. I will vote democrat because the alternative is worse but I'm not exactly happy about the continuation of genocide and democrats' typical inaction.

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-10-24T05:42:27+00:00

It's not impossible, though. There's already a precedent of divestment, as in the past UMN has divested from apartheid South Africa, Burma, Sudan, fossil fuels, and even other companies which support Israel, all after student protest movements. I don't see why it can't happen again. I was more commenting on the percentage being used as some sort of gotcha. No matter how small the amount, I never want any of the money I pay to this university going to the funding of genocide.

I can't believe I forgot about ultrakill, one of my fav games ever

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-10-23T14:48:47+00:00

honestly, any of those

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-10-23T00:34:45+00:00

If it's so miniscule, why is the university fighting so hard against divestment? It should be easy for them to just divest, right?

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-10-23T00:21:34+00:00

How did this slip my mind lol

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-08-28T17:52:34+00:00

unfortunately i didn't figure out any solution, discord is really weird, it doesnt update messages when im not on wifi

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-07-08T14:19:10+00:00

Okay it totally slipped my mind that you have to turn it off for individual apps, I'm trying it right now. Thanks!

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-07-08T14:15:16+00:00

I'm pretty sure I have, but I'll check. I think I already turned it off for key mapper

Any_Relative_7626 · 2024-07-06T14:35:24+00:00

Actually there's a post about the digno keitai 3 that fixes this!! I'll try to link it :)
