nossa, vc tava lá ontem, logo antes do jogo, ou foi no almoço?
eu passei ali na frente, na volta do parque, no finalzinho da tarde, tipo 17h30. sempre passo por ali na minha caminhada, na ida e na volta. os garçons já estão até me reconhecendo, embora eu nunca tenha entrado. já vi várias comidas interessantes anunciadas lá.
you'll probably never see this, but I stand corrected.
looking at my saved logs, our first encounter seems to have been in Sept 2024, when I was starting my move out of gnusocial.net to gnusocial.jp, before gnusocial.net shut down. from my responses to you (that's all I have in my records from that server), that seems to have been when you first accused me of antisemitism. I suppose you may have blocked me then. with my messed up perception of time, I'd have guessed that that interaction took place a while later, after I'd moved. my bad, sorry.
unfortunately, GNU social doesn't (didn't?) support account moving proper, so the move was manual, and so the block didn't follow me with that move. my records from gnusocial.jp show posts by you in my timeline on gnusocial.jp, but I don't see any interaction in the brief time while I was there. presumably you didn't block me there, because I see posts from you all the way to the end of my timeline there.
then I moved to my present address, on snac rather than GNU social.
I have a vague recollection of an interaction in which I was puzzled as you seemed to recognize me and attack me while I had no immediate recollection of you, just like today. I don't know when that was, or where my account was then, but I can only conclude it was after I moved to the present instance, where you hadn't blocked me.
so I must conclude that you had blocked me at gnusocial.net, and I most certainly had never known about that block, just like I'd never known about arnebab's block.
oh, I was in other instances a while ago, that's true. I had no clue you'd blocked me there. I didn't get notified about blocks there. I was pretty sure our first encounter had been after I set up my own instance, but my memory is not great, and my perception of time is somewhat messed up. sorry about the incorrect recollection. no intent to gaslight. but no Holocaust denialism or racism either.
erhm... what multiple people? I honestly only see you doing that and leaping to incorrect conclusions. maybe the other posts aren't even visible to me, just like your blocking me on the earlier instance wasn't?
I don't recall anyone's asking me to stop, just you mislabeling me as racist in overreaction to some unstated misunderstanding that now begins to be clarified
what's DARVO?
I know what a piece of shit is, and I'm not that. really. there's no need for such name-calling either. we can hold a debate at a much higher level, unless you really don't want to.
I don't care so much about the word Semite, whose meaning IIUC encompasses Palestine and Israeli alike, as I do about false claims of antisemitism for opposing the genocide that is underway. that sort of claim seems to be a common tactic of victim reversal. denying this ongoing genocide is, to me, no different from denying the holocaust that took place during WWII. I honestly don't recall whether you labeled me antisemite, or whether you denied the genocide, or something else, but my use of the term semite, without knowing that background you just told me about (thanks for that!), is in response to the IMHO abusive labeling of antisemite used against people who call out the genocide of arabs, who are also a semitic people. please don't read more into it than that in what I wrote before: that would be a mistake, and leads to wrong conclusions.
now, I can't really apologize for the meaning that you (and presumably others) associate with a word that is in no way intended by me, and wasn't even known by me. it would be like apologizing for using a word that is offensive in another language you speak but I don't. to me, semite means the peoples who speak semitic languages. that encompasses hebrew, arab, aramaic, and other languages, and their peoples. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Semite covers those meanings at the top. the derogatory meaning that you appear to (reasonably) object to, that wasn't known to me, is only the last one in that list. now, it should be clear that I didn't mean that upthread, because I hope it's clear that there I referred to people of Gaza, so the narrow derogatory-to-Hebrews meaning unknown to me couldn't possibly apply. I shall also note that the derogatory meaning is not present in cognate words in other languages I speak or learn: semita in Portuguese and Spanish, sémite in French. so please excuse my use of the cognate English word with the meaning that overlaps with that of my native language, instead of leaping to condemnation.
as for the etymology claims you referenced... they don't seem to hold a lot of water, I'm afraid. so many romance languages besides Latin itself have used the term under Latin-originated word derivation rules to refer to this broad set of peoples, mostly held as descending from the biblical Shem, who speak Semitic languages, that whatever a German came up with over a millennium later may very well be meaningful for Germans and those impacted by that hateful cultural artifact, but not to others to whom that term already had, for very long, an established meaning that didn't carry those hateful connotations.
shall we move this unrelated discussion to a separate thread? I wouldn't like to take part in derailing the original, very interesting thread, with this topic
I look forward to that calm explanation. maybe that could change my mind. until then, all I seem to be getting is calling out for labeling a genocide as a genocide. I don't recall, do you deny that it's a genocide, do you feel attacked, or what?
your conclusion seems to be (again?) based on false premises. but I agree I'm not meant to be in positions of authority or leadership: I don't like to have power over others. I don't mind leading by example, and it's not like I can help it.
achei divertido que em espanhol (argentino?) suprema é como chamam filé de peito de frango. fiquei imaginando uma feijoada com suprema. com tudo mesmo! 🙂
precisamos ir juntos ao solar gaúcho qualquer dia desses. tem várias dessas delícias lá com frequência. feijoada costuma ser quarta e sábado; dobradinha eu sempre pego nos meus almoços de quinta; carne de panela e rabada parece que tem quase sempre. fígado é mais raro ter, mas jiló volta e meia aparece. frango com quiabo não lembro. vaca atolada é raro.
are you sure you want to go back to that discussion? I thought the conversation about LLMs would be more useful, and now I'm pretty sure it would be far more likely to be productive too. FTR, I don't see how opposing genocide can possibly be hateful or racist; it's genocide that is fundamentally racist.
oh, there you are again. I haven't changed accounts in quite a while, so I guess you didn't block me after all. if you had blocked me, I wouldn't be seeing your posts. now that you mention it, I vaguely recall an unfortunate episode in which my standing against genocide of Semites in Gaza seems to have caused you some very significant discomfort. I'm afraid I haven't changed my mind about that, and it makes no sense whatsoever for me to apologize for that stance, but I wouldn't mind exchanging other ideas civilly with you despite that difference. if you'd rather not, please don't hesitate to block me for real this time.
that discrepancy reminds me of Wilholt's law: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
why did you conflate verified and unverified accounts as if they were the same?
why are you making disparaging statements about actual people who have been carefully vetted and raising completely unfounded suspicions to me, rather than facing and challenging the people you're accusing of fraud? are you trying to find truth, or aiming for destruction, of a necessary project or of actual suffering people?
I guess not, because a number of the links you listed don't seem to be listed there
what does that mean? that others are creating fake accounts with their names to cast doubt on their actual ones? that they've set up additional accounts that haven't been verified (yet?), because haters often report and flag their legitimate accounts? that someone else is replicating their posts, including their fundraisers?
I trust Gaza Verified's vetting process. I encourage people who can help the people behind vetted accounts to do so. I discourage conflation of vetted accounts with nonvetted ones. Direct your healthy distrust to those who deserve it.
o corte seria cenário de guerra mesmo. é nessas horas que se mede soberania com mais clareza. ataques mais sutis e dissimulados não teriam o efeito de mostrar quem dá as cartas.
