Eh, maybe, but he still lost that debate pretty hard.

Oh Christ, earpiece truthers. This shit’s been around since Bush/Kerry.

From where I was sitting, it seemed like Harris beat the ever-loving-shit out him. He took every piece of bait she laid out. I’m not the target though, so I hope undecideds saw what I saw.

And her tired but patient tone, like a pre-school teacher explaining that you can’t eat chalk. Truly perfect moment.

I don’t think it really hit me how badly our country was doing until I heard Linsey Davis say, “There is no state in our country where it’s legal to kill a baby.”

To be fair, Jill Stien isn’t running her own Instagram account. It’s probably some intern that’s scrolling through comments and liking anything that says, “vote Green.”

The UN expressed concerns about a potential genocide, but we haven’t heard much in the last six months.

Well, maybe you haven’t, but today I read in the AP that the the U.N. chief called the destruction in Gaza the worst he had ever seen. His exact words were:

“The level of suffering we are witnessing in Gaza is unprecedented in my mandate as secretary-general of the United Nations. I’ve never seen such a level of death and destruction as we are seeing in Gaza in the last few months.”

He then went on to say that a two-state solution was the only path forward, and compared Israeli treatment of Palestinians to South African apartheid:

“It means that you have 5 million Palestinians living there without any rights in a state,” he said. “Is it possible? Can we accept an idea similar to what we had in South Africa in the past?”

“I do not think you can have two peoples living together if they are not in a basis of equality, and if they are not in a basis of respect — mutual respect of their rights."

Anyway, I guess this must be one of those antisemitic dog whistles you’re talking about. I must be a moron for believing every crazy thing being said by…[checks notes]…the Associated Press and the United Nations. I bet those are some of those racist conspiracy sources you’re talking about. From now on I’ll only trust reliable sources like yours, which is…[checks post]…“trust me bro!”

Also, speaking of sources, did you know that Wikipedia actually did the opposite of what you suggested? They voted to remove the words, “allegations of,” from the article because they decided that there was enough evidence to call it a genocide. Thanks for bringing that up, I forgot about that!

What do you suppose it would be like to be on the wrong side of history? I’m guessing you’re going to find out real soon, given that you’re resistant to doing any kind of introspection on whether any of your views might be stemming from biases. It’s a shame you lack the self-awareness to take your own advice and reevaluate your beliefs (beliefs which, again, include FUCKING GENOCIDE DENIAL). But maybe you’ll feel a bit better if you keep calling everyone else antisemitic and comparing them to the alt-right. Then you won’t have to think about the atrocities you’re supporting.

They’re not questioning him for the same reason questions about Biden’s fitness were brushed aside until the debate; no one’s actually listening to the old guy right now. For Biden, this was because his team was carefully controlling his public appearances. For Trump, it’s because no one goes to his rallies except his supporters, and they’re obviously not going to question him. Most people get the headlines and clips of his most outrageous statements, but almost all of them (myself included) would rather bash our own heads in with a crowbar than sit through one of his rambling, racist speeches.

At the debate, a large portion of the population is going to sit down and listen to Trump speak, and this time, his opponent won’t be an even older, even more incoherent man. If that doesn’t lead to questions about his fitness or mental state, then I will be concerned. But right now, the fact that no one is paying attention to Trump’s mental decline makes sense to me.

I’ve said this before, but create a new license requirement for these, “light duty trucks,” that are causing all these problems. Right now a standard Class D allows any chud to drive one of these things. If you want to drive something that weighs more than 5,000 pounds, you should have to get a special license that teaches you about how huge their blind spots are and why they aren’t crash-compatible with normal cars.

For sure, but that second layer of confirmation when you get home is good to have. The fake in this picture is very obvious, but the GBA games can be a lot more subtle.

It can actually rip entire cartridges, so if there’s a game out their that you can’t find a rom hack of, you can make your own ROM, or make your own home brew version on GB studios.

Though promoting a false narrative about Israel committing a genocide (the casualty numbers are consistent with urban combat in other conflicts) is an indication that you aren’t really questioning the narratives you’re seeing on the internet.

Oh, this is just a normal urban conflict? That’s good. I thought that since a U.N. human rights expert said what was happening in Gaza was a genocide, the ICJ demanding Israel prevent Gaza from becoming a genocide, and that dozens of nations and NGOs recognize this as a genocide, this was probably a genocide. Luckily, you were here to tell me this was normal and that I shouldn’t believe everything I see on the internet. Thanks, random account! Your empty words, backed by no evidence, have shown me the error of believing in the reporting I followed from actual journalists!

In all seriousness though, you disgust me. Attempting to convince me that facts I learned, from reading and listening to hours of reporting, is just an internet narrative would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. Your attempts to make me believe my sympathy for the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians that have been killed is actually rooted in antisemitism is cowardly and manipulative. And your false equivalence between calling for the end of a genocide and JD Vance’s weird comments on Mountain Dew is just pathetic.

You’ve built in your head a narrative that criticism of Israel is antisemitic, and rather than consider the possibility that you may be incorrect, you’ve taken it upon yourself to chastise anyone who criticizes Israel. You demand that everyone else reevaluate their own beliefs so that you don’t have to reexamine yours. And that’s led you to genocide denial. Great job buddy, great fucking job.

I’m curious to know what I’ve said that’s antisemitic. From where I’m standing, there’s only one comment here that’s antisemitic. It’s the one that’s equating criticism of the nation of Israel for its ongoing slaughter of Palestinians with criticism of the Jewish people as a whole. All Jews are not Israeli’s, and criticism of Israel is not criticism of the Jewish people. Implying otherwise is a bigoted and cowardly attempt to shield a nation from accountability.

Every nation can and should be held accountable when it commits atrocities. If I were to condemn the Taliban for their misogynistic, regressive theocracy, no one would assume that I was condemning Islam as a religion or Muslims as a people. So, how can I do the same for Israel? Tell me the right way I get to say, “Israel has killed at least 40,000 people (probably closer to 85,000 in reality), mostly civilians, and it is disgusting that both major parties support this slaughter.” Let me know what way I can criticize Israel that doesn’t offend your delicate sensibilities, so we can finally discuss the fact that our nation is funding a genocide.

Well, you’re not wrong.

Careful buddy, if you keep talking like that, AIPAC is going to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Nazi-apologist to take your job.

For any GB, GBC, and GBA fans, I highly recommend the GB Operator from Epilogue. It’s a super simple USB device that will not only play your games and back up your saves, but will also authenticate your cartridges. It’s great for something like Pokémon Ruby and Saphire, which has a lot of bootlegs floating around.

It is truly insane to me that the one party in this country has moved into straight-up holocaust denial, but the only thing that will get you labeled an antisemite by either party is suggesting we politely ask Israel to do a little less genocide with the weapons we give them.

Quark belongs to everyone. He’s a national treasure.

There’s only one Quark.

OK, then again, it’s super weird that you’ve internalized the criticism in this meme. There are centrist accounts on this instance that I don’t like, but I don’t accuse them of punching left when they say something I agree with.
