Are you fucking serious? Do you genuinely not know who Chaya Raichik is? Because if you're acting in good faith and actually aren't aware of the vile hatred and harassment orchestrated at her hands, you really need to drop her name in the old Google machine and do some reading.

Has a lot to do with age demographics and the inability for Meta to allow a person to easily delete their page. Many if not most millennials have a Facebook page, but like myself, never use it and when asked if I have a Facebook, say no even though I technically have a one I don't log in to.
Anecdotally, most of the people I know over the age of 45 have a Facebook and use it regularly. I don't know very many zoomers, but the few sub-30 year olds I do know, never even made a Facebook account, but do use Instagram.
Exemplified by the fact that we have started having free states again like during the civil war. The Maryland governor has been very clear and direct that the state of Maryland will take in political and social refugees from Florida and Texas. Where transpeople are being forced to die or pretend not to exist in Florida, Maryland is codifying their right to be and live as who they are.
You can't blame lefties and progressives for wanting to escape to freedom when their other option is death or hiding.
Wild, what sub? I said worse than that almost every day for years on reddit and never even caught a temp ban from an individual sub.
A few Q's. What is the country you moved to? How much debt did you have when you got ready to leave? What are/were your professions, and how much did it cost from start to finish?
The reason I ask all this, is because the overwhelming majority of families, not single individuals, but couples/families, that want to move outside the US have too much debt and couldn't afford it anyway. At least not legally immigrating. Also, many desirable countries outside the US have strict admission policies around what degree fields and professions they're willing to give a work visa to. "Move to another country like we did" is a statement I frequently hear from people that don't actually understand what an immense privilege and undertaking it is to accomplish that.
There's also the issue that while I'd like to pack my family up and leave, many places aren't much better off than here overall. At least not enough that moving to get away from social issues like homophobia or transphobia makes it worthwhile. Many countries, even "progressive" ones struggle desperately with bigotry even if the overall economic situation is currently better. It makes much more sense for me to stay put and try to actively make my community better than it does to abandon it.
Anyway, curious to hear how you made it out, where you went, and what you do for a living.
Totally agree. Mega threads are great, especially in smaller communities where posting the same question or article over and over clogs everything up. Even more relevant with a small community that suddenly found it's subject matter in the news and now every asshole is spam posting trying to farm engagement.
It's some opinion article that got picked up by Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson. Not only was it an opinion report, but it was largely taken out of context by right wing pundits to get rage clicks.
Also, right wingers are amazingly ignorant of the world and that people in many countries consume insects as a relatively normal part of their diet, and that insects have always been a pretty regular source of protein for our species and previous versions of humans. They're so obsessed with what "third world countries" do and what what they think makes a "superior" civilization that they can't see that they're being rage fucked by their own prejudices.
Yep. That was the organization exodus for my last job. Without any warning or planning, a state government agency, demanded everyone come back first week June 2021 when not a single other state office was even considering it. It was way out of left field and threatened to completely fuck up many people's lives and there was a mass exodus. Staff left agency wide. I think it was somewhere around 300 employees of a several thousand. Which may not seem like that much, but when 300 people quit in one agency over the course of two weeks, it's extremely noticable lol. The leadership at the top got berated publicly by the governor and they had to reverse course to stop people from leaving. But hey, I got a promotion, a huge raise, and got to demand my telework schedule because I instantly became more important hahaha.
The next exodus was my specific division. The deputy director we all liked and the media relations manager we all liked were fired out of nowhere by the same agency leadership that fucked up in the telework debacle. They placed their own drones in the two spots and it absolutely decimated morale. Not to mention the stool pigeons they selected are two of the most incompetent people I've ever had the displeasure of working with. I took a high-paying job with a federal contractor and bounced. Four people left in the few months following. They hired new people, two of which left within three months. I still talk to the social media manager who's still there and she fills me in on all the bullshit they're continuing with. Out of a public affairs division of 14 people, there's only six still there that were there when I left last September.
Look up whathowwhy on YouTube. He's a dude from the UK who puts stuff into epoxy. A few years a go he put a hotdog into a cube of epoxy and would do periodic video updates on the hotdog. One year I actually watched the New Years Eve livestream of the hotdog slowly spinning on a dias. He'd put a little party hat on it and the live chat was absolutely hilarious.
Oh man, no joke. When we first were trying to figure out chickens that's exactly what happened. Went from learning how to keep foxes and racoons out of the coop to gold and crypto are going to be the only currency stopping the new world order and the leftists want you to eat bugs so here's how to make beef jerky at home.
Agreed, and not only that but holy fuck we just broke up a week ago. I was in a relationship with that bitch for 12 years, I don't need my homies over here telling me it's time to forget about it lol
