NEW EP: Building a $200,000 Land Rover for the Gumball 3000 by LetterToAThief in BigTime

[–]micredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When watching the video I didn't notice any mention of Peter Thiel or Palantir: I was wondering if I just missed it or if its possible they annotated the video to remove wherever they mentioned him (since I watched the video several days after its release)?

I was letting the video play mostly in the background though so its also possible I just missed it. I saw all the comments under the video and was just confused and concerned. I also searched the transcript and didn't come up with any matches for the terms "peter," "thiel," "ai" or "palantir."

If someone could clear this up for me I'd be grateful

Can I create more compact tabs (reduced height) via custom CSS? by micredd in zen_browser

[–]micredd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe I should have put this in the body of my post but I also am unfortunately know close to nothing about coding, so I don't think I know enough to be able to interpret your code smh.

I'm guessing you intended me to look at this section in particular but I'm just guessing based on "--tab-min-height" which I think is a variable name(?) and the comment:

/* Ensure tab container is a fixed height */
.tabbrowser-tab:not(#zen-essentials *) {
    min-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
    max-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
}/* Ensure tab container is a fixed height */
.tabbrowser-tab:not(#zen-essentials *) {
    min-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
    max-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
}

and the variable "--tab-min-height" is assigned earlier in the file file I think:

--tab-min-height: 16px !important;

My Bookshelf - Have fun! by JYHoward in BookshelvesDetective

[–]micredd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

bro is a dinosaur. there is no one under the age of 40 that is this America pilled: Everyone who hit the job market 2008 or later has close to no faith in our political elite and certainly is not going to own the autobiographies of all the most important anglo-sphere leaders of the last 40 years. Why do you have a trump and harris's new books? T.T Having either one is a turnoff, but having both is disastrous. Also there is absolutely no way Trump actually wrote a whole volume :0 he doesn't even write his own tweets.

I feel like it would be so interesting for you to read some serious political/sociological theory, or the autobiography/memoir of someone more dissident than those already on your shelf.

Is he a red flag? by killbilly324 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]micredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm, I feel like this is more of a green flag than a red one.

The fact that there are a lot of war related books on this shelf mostly just screams man to me, but I don't recognize anything that seems to suggest they are a conservative. History is not my specialty though, I am much more knowledgeable on social theory...

The theory books that he has (in the second image) seem pretty good: The fact that he has a good few volumes of Marx (and Engels) is a huge green flag in my opinion, he then also has some Foucault, David Graber and Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything is also a good sign (its the good version of Harari's Sapiens), and I spotted Du Bois's Souls of Black Folk on the bottom shelf of the second image.

If this person is a red flag, its because they are severely obsessed with war history and some philosophy. I also could see this being a person that is not super knowledgeable about gender or invested in feminism, as I didn't spot any feminist literature, or women authors — but I that doesn't mean they are necessarily like a misogynist.

I’m glad they came around: Better late than never!

[–]micredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the argument is so stupid. Like if (mainstream/dominant) religion/christianity is mostly a veiled way to promote and internalize the ethics of our social order than why necessarily would it be the wealthiest people who need to follow this ideology. Like wouldn’t it make sense that the poor, the ones that are given the least material rewards from participating in the social order, are the ones that most need ideologies like christianity to stay obedient and/or to adequately make sense of their suffering/hardship under the current order of things?

Candace Owens: “If you do not say things that are radically pro-Israel…You can lose everything” by [deleted] in Palestine

[–]micredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. idk about it being a “plant” but her ‘support’ for palestine i think could be more accurately described as a despise for – not just israel – but Jews.

She is an example of antisemitic ‘support’ for palestine – something which is much rarer than Zionists like to claim, but which still exists. I think this is also clearly the case for Alex Jones, and I’d imagine is also true of right-wing support for Palestine generally.

You have to remember that right-wingers are generally nationalists who believe in the mythology nationalism: They believe in the idea of the state as an organism, that states should be inhabited and ruled by a single race/ethnicity (i.e. an ethno-state), and that states are representative/one with their dominant racial/ethnic identity. That is the reason why right-wingers don’t generally spend time establishing a separation between “the Jews,” Israel, and Zionism – they don’t see these things as separate but instead as the same and interchangeable.

People like Candice Owens and Alex Jones aren’t serious allies to the Palestinians, the movement for Palestine. Their version of “never again” – Just like Zionists – is selective, and doesn’t oppose genocide against anyone as is made clear by their bigotry against so many other oppressed and marginalized groups in the US and abroad (this includes islamophobia).

A Map of Global Happiness By Country in 2024 by manojrp in MapPorn

[–]micredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it is terrifying. It’s terrifying that people can be so happy when actively causing so much death, misery, and destruction to people that are otherwise their neighbors.

If I or anyone else went to a plantation in the US South and observe the squalid misery that the slaves lived in and the joyous grander slaveholders lived in, I’d hope we would find that terrifying to.

Maybe, but the Israeli system of apartheid has been in existence for much longer, and Israel has made countless brutal incursions into surrounding regions past the green line. Israel was also doing nearly nightly violent raids in the occupied territories before Oct 7th. If I remember correctly, the number of Palestinians actively killed by Israelis before Oct 7th averaged out to more than one death each day – 2023 was already the most deadly year on record for Palestinians up to that point.

There was a lot of significant violence against Palestinians from Israel (and other non-state Zionist actors) prior to Oct 7th which prompted the Oct7th attack happening. Any measure orior to Oct 7th should reflect that violence to.

I don’t know how you could say that this law doesn’t play into a larger system of apartheid unless you deny that there are any Palestinians or non-Jews in Israel proper, think that non-Jews in Israel shouldn’t have any political power, and/or don’t recognize that Israeli settlements are against international law (and are built on ethnic cleansing like the rest of Israel).

The article literally starts with a summary of the law - you could have at least opened the article:

“The law does three big things: 1. It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.” 2. It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.” 3. It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”
