How can this be debunked? Didn't the UN just start their investigation less than a month ago? I didn't see any conclusions come out.

Did you read the article?

What exactly is the relationship between spirit aero systems and Boeing? Who owns which responsibilities between these types of fuck ups? Is it Boeing design? Spirit manufacturing? Boeing inspection? The buck stops with Boeing, but since they deliver the final product, but wtf is going on at Spirit.

The poster was sympathetic to how unaffordable shit is. I think they are aware. Yes, they got lucky, but they recognize that and are commenting on how bullshit it is that this type of security is out of reach.

So, now I’m in my parents’ estate and I was able to retire early (really I didn’t need to work, but I liked my job) and I see how high home prices are for the U.S. now and wonder how new families are ever going to be able to continue to live and find housing in this country.

Isn't that supposed to help to some degree? I thought part of the housing trouble was boomers staying in large homes too long meant less homes for younger families with kids to use.

People are being killed at a large scale, the aggressor is pink washing using a what aboutism about those people's track record on gay rights, and this article doing a what aboutism about israel and the west's gay rights track record. The headline is about genocide. But the content of the article is just trying to make an argument about which side has the better gay rights track record. I don't think any body is actually arguing, or believing an israel argument, that this war is justified because israel is supposedly kinder to gay people than palestine.

But this is kind of a criticism of responding to what aboutism with what aboutism. Both sides were historically anti queer in both similar and different ways.

Generalizing a subset of folks that is Lemmy users is nowhere in scale like generalizing an entire generation. Lemmy users skew in certain demographics and political leanings due to the nature of the Reddit backlash, FOSS advocates, etc.

Yeah. I'll give this kid credit as a high school student writing this. But the premise of pink washing is that it is used to divert attention or sway public opinion. That doesn't have any bearing on facticity of claims. It is possible to call out pinkwashing by Israel and the West and also call out homophobia in middle east society at the same time.

Thanks. I didn't even consider tax implications.

Because I need to accept some meetings, but not any meeting. But the difference is the volume of meeting invites coming in. And folks expecting me to show up even when I didn't respond yes.
