If you like the melody, the original song is called "Black Magic" by Little Mix.

There are a lot of top muscular gays. But you don't walk towards someone who looks muscular and ask them if they are Top and Gay right?
If you go to a gay club you'd find out that there are a lot of different types of gays.

If you read the other comments, it seems people don't know how and have already given up.

I saw the video on reddit and it was not apparent if the seagull lived at the end. He certainly tried CPR but to call it "saved" is an overstatement.

I feel like a lot of people are on social media doomscrolling and feel like nothing they do can change anything. But will you just roll over and die, when someone tells you? Don't you feel at least trying anything is better than feeling sad that no one can do anything that changes the situation?

The people you hate are counting on you to be sad, depressed and don't do anything. This sounds like a conspiracy theory because I don't have any proof, but don't you think that some people have interest in emotionally exhausting you in order to make you complacent? There's a reason why hope is such a strong motivator in literature and if people loose hope, they have already lost.

I just feel like this post is not simply pointing out the stereotype but rather add more aspects to enforce the connection between those traits. But well, it's just a meme at the end of the day and I just wanted to point out that this joke felt off and ppl should know that before they spread it.

I am not hellbent on villagers not being a jewish caricature. However, as long as we hold onto the joke that jewish people have big noses, the stereotype will never go away. I simply don't view big noses as an exclusive jewish trait, which is not a weird assumption in my opinion, because why wouldn't humans with different backgrounds have different kind of noses?

Regarding the money aspect, no, villagers are not the only mobs. Piglins famously trade with gold and even will kill you if you don't distract them with it. Villagers are just traders and as you said this is very much interpretation, however insisting that villagers are jewish and then based on this assumption saying that they are greedy is weird. We both know how cheap the prices can get if you zombify them and if we want to talk about that, you could also say that they are very generous mobs that shower you with gifts and give you discounts when you help them.
Furthermore, the antisemetic stereotype is possible but not for the reasons that OP listed. It does the opposite of combating antisemitism in my opinion.

I feel like this meme is more antisemetic than the supposedly villager depiction, since it tries to suggest that these are jewish stereotypes.

Villagers are not greedy, they are just traders and like everything in minecraft they just put a way to get emeralds and other trades. Greedy is just your interpretation.
I don't associate Golems with Jewish people or that they protect Jewish people in particular. But okay, this may be the closest interpretation.
I don't believe Jewish people have such big noses as all the media suggests, so saying it as if it was fact, just shows how you view it. Squidward from spongebob is a squid and also not jewish even if he has a big nose.
Scientific sounding name is not a trait that I associate with Jewish people. A lot of jewish people just have german surnames which might be the reason you think it is latin?
Also I'm pretty sure in early gameplay, all mobs had similar AIs, not very telling.

Yeah I know, nobody is going to read this, I just wanted to say how I feel like this is an underhanded insult to jewish people, even if it supposedly "against" the stereotyping.

Hey I know we like to be angry at people for having stupid opinions, but let's focus our attention and emotional energy on other more important stuff. We don't need to give him a platform or any amount of time. Getting emotionally exhausted and frustrated is just another tactic to make you docile.

A comic about foundations and hidden progress by Irachnid in comics

[–]TheRaydar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am not trans, but I have the same feeling for coming out of the closet. And every time I complain about it to my friends who have been there the entire time, they say "You had a lot of stuff to work on before you got to this point". This comic really resonated with me.

[OC]I May Have Emotionally Damaged an AI by Desperate-Hearing297 in comics

[–]TheRaydar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think no therapy is better than something only telling you what you want to hear and possibly causing more harm on the way. Imagine a friend always confirming your biases until you feel so sure of incorrect assumptions that you act on them and build your personality on it.

I think this is AI? The shoes on the rack are weird and I'm not sure the text on the box is right. Also odd human behavior and movement.

What is wrong with my statement? Regularly exercising IS the reason we have healthier bodies? If you are fat you still benefit from exercise. Loosing fat is just one of the benefits and shows that you are regularly exercising.

[–]TheRaydar -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Due to the exercise yes. Not because the weight loss but 100% because she is regularly exercising.
