Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.

Don't do their work for them.

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

Hey guys, I need some input once again on the topic of mermaids. The logical conclusion to combining fish and human anatomy is to connect the human lungs to the swim bladder, of course. However, the esophagus runs behind the windpipe in humans, meanwhile the swim bladder runs behind the fish digestive tract, which means they are on opposite sides, so to speak. Which means the “tubes” of these systems need to cross somehow.

Option 1. They just kind of pass by one another asymmetrically

Option 2. Like the cephalopod donut brain, one “pipe” has a donut shape which the other goes through

Option 3. All along the merfolk esophagus actually goes in front of the lungs and windpipe, avoiding the whole crossing over ordeal in the first place

Input is appreciated!

no, keep going. i think you're finally getting somewhere.

[adaptations-polls]

Which version of this do you prefer?

This polls is part two, and focuses on non-film adaptations. Part 1, which only featured films, was posted earlier (though the 60s Batman series was also included on that poll because of Batman 66). A third poll combining the favorite options from both may be posted at some point in the future

*obviously with comics there's lots and lots of different runs that can have wildly different qualities and everything which kind of complicates things, but as the source material it does need to be included on the poll- you can just think of this option as indicating a general preference for the comics stories instead of being attached to a specific Batman run in the comics

Vexx really doesn't need to hypnotize Mari, as she already happily does whatever she says, but sometimes a goddess just wants to be fully in control without having to deal with any pesky questions or worries (even if Mari would not object to this activity in particular)

i may not be a reader of the romance genre but i will always support it.. do i realistically care that the love interest is a little overboard with his protectiveness... that he's a bit fucked up and violent.. no i dont.. of course people arent reading these books to be examples for real life.. like they know its literally fiction why do we assume theyre dumb.. women have been reading these for self indulgence for centuries and throughout time they'vealways been called shallow for it.. and i support these readers.. there's always going to be a pushback against romance stories .. and i will always stand by their right to exist with all their unrealistic rose tinted lenses

I keep seeing people respond to the Microsoft Recall bullshit with there's an ability to disable it and that misses the point. Several points in fact.

It's only a matter of time until an update bugs/"bugs" it and re-enables it without warning so people who had previously disabled it think they're in the clear until their info is leaked or they get a warning they're low on storage space.

If people don't have admin rights, they may not be able to disable it. Laptops given by work or school lock down what people can do with them, some going as far as dictating which browser one has to use on them. Even if you don't need admin rights to disable Recall, you may not have the ability to do so without losing the laptop and/or job and/or education.

I'm unsure of how it would handle multiple accounts but if it can be locked by someone else to always be enabled, children and people in abusive situations would also be unable to disable it. Even if it can't be locked, disabling it could result in punishment from a parent or the abuser.

Is it really disabled or is it "disabled" in that what the user sees is it being disabled while it's still collecting information and/or sending information to Microsoft in the background?

Such a feature should never have been automatically enabled in the first place. It's bad, predatory design to have such a feature enabled from the start and to expect users AKA customers to go out of their way to look up and then opt-out of something.

If disabling it really disables it, it can still result in stress and concern that it's not. The vast majority of people do not have the skills or knowledge to look into the OS guts to give themselves peace of mind that it really truly is disabled.

I'm sure I'm missing some, too.

TLDR is disabling is a bandaid someone else may rip off for you, someone may hurt you if you use, it may not work at all except as a placebo, and should have never been needed in the first place.

either the guy getting hit with the bagel becoming a guy with dimension-hopping superpowers in spiderverse is a reference to everything everywhere or its a very funny coincidence. like i know the spiderverse movie script was probably finalised ages ago but still. made me giggle

[carcarrot]

has no one made an edited version of tsb thats like. just the sparks parts lol

[blueskittlesart]

i miss the champions so much i know there's like no logical reason for them to come back in totk but i wanna see my guys again even if it's just more memories or something. do you think there's any way they could pull that off based on what we know about the game already?

i really hope so! at the very least i hope the abilities you get in botw won't be removed bc i cant navigate that fucking map without revali's gale. even the lack of expedited cooldowns from the dlc starts to get to me after a while at this point LMAO. in terms of actual implementation i'm trying to think if there's an easy way to give us more champion content in totk. In theory, we could continue to recover link's memories and see more of the champions that way, but from a writing standpoint that might feel clunky & at odds with the rest of the story unless it's VERY carefully implemented. My honest answer from a writing & game dev standpoint is that i don't think we're likely to get many more memory-style cutscenes, especially with the release of hyrule warriors a few years ago sort of serving as an extra source of champions content already. that might have been the point of hyrule warriors from a game dev standpoint, actually, if they realized while in production that totk wasn't going to have a lot of room for champion-centric content, hyrule warriors would have given them an easy way to satiate fans who really loved those characters without compromising the integrity of their already-written story in totk. tldr realistically i don't think there's going to be a whole lot of champion-centric content in totk but for now we can pray that i will have to eat these words in 3 months

even on Tumblr, perhaps especially on Tumblr, I will continue to make my kavetham obsession everyone else's problem. and I endlessly apologize. I can't help this disease

[arklayraven]

So devs are saying you can set the UR card pictures on home screen like with most moving cards.

But they aren't bringing up that the cards will have a premium picture connected to them...and no idea if the premium picture is moving or not.

It'll be three images in total. The standard art, unlocked art, and premium art.

The thing is though, no idea how the premium art is unlocked, or how to be obtained...It's premium, so it doesn't sound free to me, and I expect them trying to make money off of this as expected from their greedy changes/updates now.

(My guesses...might be worst gacha luck pulls or the images are stuck behind skill level 5 which would suck either way.)

But i know if this isn't something free to play players can't get, then I can see some/many being very upset soon. Which I don't blame them.

by the way Congrats IbisPaint. Somehow, you managed to piss off BOTH SIDES of the AI debate. (elaboration in tags)
