Thanks! And amen. Even thinking about fixing the antisemitism/nazi/incel problem on a societal level is exhausting. It's gonna take time and a whole lot of smart and compassionate people.
But on an individual level? Some of those crazy fuckers are ready to hurt or kill people just because of who they are. No harm in preparing, and there's plenty of options for those who aren't comfortable with firearms.
Gorsuch's dissent was scathing.
I couldn't find a good summary in the first few results, but he at one point compared the Navajo's plight with waiting at the DMV. Waiting for hours in one line to be told, "Oh, we can't help you, go over there" and repeat.
Also a permanent home seems to imply some level of responsibility to assess their water needs.

I'm new too, but to #1 - I saw this post on and am commenting from Lemmy! The Jerboa app in particular. It's not quite RIF but after messing with the settings it's fantastic.
The whole thing is still very confusing to me but I love how we can all interact.
I believe most of them have a "free" mode, but it's just a matter of time. Peloton was floating bricking their treadmills without a subscription but I think they backed down. Still, why would I buy anything that could be remote bricked?
Fortunately a lot of normal countries have laws against stuff like that. We may have to buy Australian treadmills in the future.
Gotta be Rapunzel right? All that hair.
Regarding antisemitism, our strength lies not in sparring with the dark and ugly forces that want to bring us down, but in illuminating the shadows with positive examples of love and kindness. Living as proud Jews is truly the strongest defense against intolerance. This applies to all marginalized groups
Beautifully said. Still, I would encourage all my marginalized friends to make themselves familiar with whatever level of self defense they're comfortable with.
The civil rights movement might never have accomplished what it did without peaceful protest, mutual aid, and a readiness and willpower needed to defend themselves from violence.
We need to be ready for all three.
About 90% of couples who seek a surrogate in Italy are heterosexual. Yet they're trying to hide behind how "immoral" it is for gay couples to "rent a womb" from a woman?
Conservatives shitting in their own mouths yet again.
They're sitting at a birth rate of 1.24, why they're trying to keep anybody from having a baby is beyond me. It's almost like anywhere in the world the right wing inherently wants to run the economy into the ground.
Yeah they overcharged him thinking he'd take a plea. Kinda standard but fucked up, too.
Oh it definitely is complicated, and I'm not an expert in any sense. As I understand it a lot of the original water rights in this area were given out during unusually wet years, which has been a cascade of failures since.
I don't know that it should have been the Supreme Court dealing with this. Seems like congress should have, but doesn't like to weigh in anymore. Especially since fixing the water problems out here would cost money and maybe even require us to stop building houses, golf courses, etc.. so it gets punted to SCOTUS by default.
It feels unjust to me to guarantee people a permanent home somewhere and not have a responsibility to somehow address their water needs. Although, how do you give them more of something that barely exists as is?
I just hate how our government has so effortlessly "othered" people throughout the years. I feel like if 1/3 of Tuscon (about 175,000 people) didn't have running water, every level of the government wouldn't just shrug.
It is a terribly complicated issue and I don't know how to fix it without changing human nature. It's just endlessly frustrating.
Your link is giving me a 505 error just heads up.
But I must have missed that story so I googled it, hardly anything came up besides stuff on his and Serena's relationship. Makes you wonder if somebody's trying to scrub that story.
Not sure how reliable Mint Press News is but this article was interesting. Dude's sketchy for sure.
Someone who's more informed than me, please chime in.
As I understand it Alexis stepped away from the board(?) of reddit in 2020. Supposedly in protest after George Floyd was murdered. I believe he's just your standard "Hey look, I'm woke too!" venture capitalist nowadays. Likely still heavily invested in reddit, seeing as I don't think he's spoken out on the controversy lately.
He caught a lot of heat for firing Victoria back in 2015 iirc.
Most of what I saw about him was from his own website so take it all with a huge grain of salt.

Although as much as I hate to give props to a rich guy, he does put on a much better Real Human act than spez, Musk, or Zuc.
Archimedes liked that
