Topic | USC cancels valedictorian's graduation speech because she is Muslim |
Doe 04/17/24 8:17:46 AM #57 | andel posted...
advocating for a 'one state solution' is advocating for genocide, regardless of which state someone thinks should cease to exist. it isn't possible to abolish israel or palestine without an actual genocide occurringAn actual genocide is already occurring in the current solution. The thing she allegedly liked on social media is saying Israel as an apartheid state should be abolished, ie Israelis and Palestinians should all have the same rights in the area under one secular state. Obviously that's not easy to accomplish, but again, the current system is a genocidal one, so acting like she's the one advocating for genocide by allegedly liking that post is rich. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY |

Topic | USC cancels valedictorian's graduation speech because she is Muslim |
Doe 04/16/24 5:15:43 PM #44 | I looked and here's evidence the pro Israel groups cited in her social media likes as her being an antisemite
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f7c81070.jpg ... they highlight "abolish Israel" and imply it shows she's calling for the genocide of Jewish people despite minoring in "resistance to genocide"... but the very next clause, not even next sentence but the next clause after the semicolon, is saying the opposite, that people should all remain in the land just without apartheid. "Compromise" is very very generous IMO. This college apparently has programs studying genocide and apartheid and resistance but when the time comes that a student who took those classes gets great grades and extracurriculars, they back off and say "we won't risk her actually speaking what she learned in our classes!" --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY |

Doe 04/16/24 3:22:13 PM #1 | I have primary through my job and since I'm young I'm still on my dad's insurance too. Well I've been trying to get a prescription for about a month now and still haven't gotten coverage because of the cryptic ways the insurance companies fight with each other.
I have a message history with my doctor/his nurse assistant on the MyChart app and last Friday they said they'd "never seen this before" in regards to the primary saying it's all good on my doctor's end but denying on the pharmacy's end. They said they'd call the insurance and contact me as soon as they figured out what's going on, still silent so far. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY |

Doe 04/16/24 10:16:40 AM #437 | We recently had a thread revisiting that CE meme format where people would put a CEman quote on an inspirational background, but I never found the one I was really looking for. The quote had something to do with white people needing to be careful to avoid Hell or else when they'd go there they'd hear the "N word for white people". And for some reason that was the funniest shit I ever read

Doe 04/16/24 10:04:44 AM #1 | https://youtu.be/7-4no0aMa8k
It's on its own a great song and has lyrics fitting for the material ("Hope dangles on a string...") while matching the vibe of Spider-Man 2 and Peter's identity struggle so well. I think this is one of the best movies about a superhero ever made but I don't know how total the impact would've been on me if not for this song. It's like all the power of the movie packaged into this track that you can tap back into. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY |

That doesn't sound that odd to meWhat I mean is, if the race has a record, it's weird to me for someone who can break it to run it but as someone keeping pace for a person who hired them to help them break the record instead. Unless I'm misunderstanding and the hired guys didn't run the full race, but the article makes it sound like they did. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY |

Topic | Unofficial Current Events Discord Servers Now Up |
Doe 04/15/24 5:14:11 PM #68 | My piece is that channel proliferation is quite a balancing act on Discord. Based on seeing many discords die. I recommend starting slim and when one type of conversation overwhelms the General, it can get a dedicated channel. "Pre-planning" often ends up with a lot of dead channels, which isn't the end of the world since you can close them obviously, but I've seen it often contribute to "channel policing" cultures in such discords, which ultimately lowers engagement and retention.
What keeps discords alive is feeling like you can comfortably 'hop in'. Discord is very momentum based so when a channel doesn't see a lot of activity, people tend to feel less comfortable attempting to start a conversation in it. While GameFAQs has the topic system which acts like a declaration to initiate conversation, discord channels function more like group chat DMs. Discord does have the "threads" system but in my experience users don't take to it. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY |
