@mekkaokereke Reading this whole convo has Billy Jean playing in my head.

Heard it so many times I have the whole thing on file.

@StillIRise1963 This is just so horribly sad.

So the parents figure education is just gaming the system for points.

Such severe disrespect for knowledge is upsetting to see.

@StillIRise1963 They made wife beating legal inn Russia.

I bet there's plenty magats jealous about that.

@mekkaokereke I noticed before how 2-3 viral vids of a crime, pushed onto TV often enough, can in fact make people believe there's a huge crime wave.

Because so much screen time features crime.

Then when you look up really boring stats which are just numbers in a CSV, it turns out crime has been trending down for decades, and still is.

No screen time for that, though.

And if those few vids all feature a black perp, you've fed the racists a narrative.

It's incitement, really.

@eniko Hundreds, already.

A lot more than I expected.

@eniko It's hundreds of people *in my heart* which is what counts.

[refusal to admit math error intensifies]

@tillshadeisgone Attacks like this can only come from bigotry.

There's literally zero other motivation to go "But are you really trans tho?" or "But are you really black tho?"

So sorry you have to deal with "neutral" people who think "both sides have a point".

No, bigotry is fucking bigotry and it has no valid point.

@StillIRise1963 College admission showing their whole ass.

They only let in that many black people because they had to.

Now that they no longer have to...

You have to keep in mind that when your caravan reaches a watering hole, draw water for the people, then let the horses drink, then let most livestock drink and let the camels drink last.

Because those fuckers will drink all of it, no matter how much there is.

If anyone is annoyed that so many people have so little to live off, maybe consider supporting policy which doesn't leave so many people destitute.

Something like UBI would really change things.

Until that gets enacted, don't begrudge people that they're asking for the means to live.

@goatsarah Fully agree.

It's shoddy, partisan rubbish.

The Wakefield of trans care is how I describe Cass.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I just hope they don't scare off too many people with that intensity, because the other guy is still obviously worse.

@AnarchoNinaWrites There is literally no fucking way the current D team would go for UBI.

I actually got mad when they suggested a vote for Harris will bring an end to destitution.

Just cos you wish she would doesn't make it so.

Ds have had senate+congress+president several times over the past 50 years and they never, ever came close to implementing UBI.

Even M4A is too far for them.

Seriously, how deluded is that?

@gwynnion I can see the same tactics which were successful in UK and USA get trialed in Europe.

The media control is not as heavy everywhere, but that the attempt is universally there is very discomforting.

It's clear each country's rich assholes think this is a brilliant plan.

@StillIRise1963 Lots of people don't get how propaganda is meant to work.

It's not like you see one ad and boom you're propagandized.

It's a slow wearing down of your beliefs by making them seem a little too far out there.

It's so slow you don't notice it happening.

That's what's so dangerous about it. That's why you need to choose what media you read/watch/listen to.

If you spend too much time each week with the wrong influence, you will start to slide.

@futurebird Sleeping with air temp over 26C is a strain.

Over 35C is like trying to get hurt.

It's definitely not purely a luxury thing, unless health and life count as luxury items.

@PhoenixSerenity @trendless I'd probably just put a Honeywell 50250 in each room they spend a lot of time in.

It's a workhorse, which has been in production for a good while.

It's highly likely to have continuous filter availability.

There's even third-party filters for it!

It's a little loud at full power, but that's only needed if there's a lot of dust, like from cleaning vigorously.

@PhoenixSerenity @trendless It's definitely worth learning a little about it so you know whether you're making a good choice.

Some products sold as air quality improvers don't actually do a very good job at all.

Some will even worsen air quality.

The regulation of these devices is just missing.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Unless it's from an official Bavarian beer hall, it's just sparkling fascism.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah, uh, maybe doing cultural refs from a century ago isn't that great outside vampire circles.
