Her message was shit. I still don't think that Israel would feel comfortable annexing the west bank like this under her presidency. The dems are cooling on Israel, especially since it was slowly leading them into a war with Iran and tensions with Saudi Arabia. So I'm not saying the dems are better on this issue for altruism. No. I think Gaza was fucked either way and the dems are complicit in genocide there. But I do think Trump will directly result in expansion and full out war into the west bank and then the whole region in a way Harris wouldn't have and they are very different in that way.

Legit. Fuck Israel. Fuck Zionism. Fuck apartheid. Fuck the genocide of Palestinians. But also fuck antisemitism.

I'm saying people won't be represented. Not just disappointed. Representation is important. That's my argument. I said it very clearly. Representation isn't problematic and my argument is literally that I think representation is more important than the risk of cultural appropriation and exclusion. Tucking away minorities to save them from cultural appropriation isn't it. Its infantalizing. Also, we can fight for inclusion and representation and still call out cultural appropriation when it occurs.

So then they should never have the chance to perform their sports at the Olympics or on an international stage? Representation matters. It wasn't just white ladies break dancing at the Olympics.

I'm not an expert, but I had an expert explain that an unlocked boot loader is only risky if you think someone nefarious is physically able to get their hand on your phone. Is that true?

I think its a way to argue that sports developed by certain groups shouldn't be allowed in the Olympics because then those who didn't traditionally develop said sport might compete in them. It results in exclusion, which is worse than the risk of cultural appropriation IMO.

A rise in homelessness is great?

I haaate "equal rights means equal lefts."

These dudes fantasize about a woman picking a fight with them so they can beat the shit out of one and have it be socially acceptable.

Honestly, this decision wouldn't probably impact future college attendees. But, there are other changes coming to federal borrowing that likely will. Income based repayment is being restructured and it's looking pretty good.

However, this will probably hurt the economy. A lot of people are about to hit repayment at a period of high inflation. It's not a great economy. And, if a lot of people decide to ignore their student loan bills a la 2008 financial crisis, were in for a global economic doozy.
