There’s a huge rabbit hole with HDMI certification…

Like, display port is better in everyway, but people make a shit ton of money off putting “HDMI certified” on products, so that’s still the default.

The US is doing a pretty good job of replicating one era of Roman history…

You know the only thing more ridiculous than buying a toilet with a built in camera?

In October Kohler launched Dekota, a $600 (plus monthly subscription) device that attaches to the rim of your toilet and collects images and data from inside

Buying a camera to attach to an existing toilet, that has a monthly device fee that costs more than a fucking toilet does.

“I’m like you know what, I’m going go run for Congress. This is crazy because that’s kind of like discrimination! Like putting you in the back of the bus, or you know, ‘hey, you’re Jewish, go into the bathroom, here’s a ham sandwich.’ It’s like, illegal!”

To clarify, the video is still up on YouTube…

The “discrimination” is he thinks it should have millions of views. And instead it only has 35k.

Maybe sprinkling 1337 into our online texts would make them less useful to AI training

No, it wouldn’t.

I think search engines didn’t work with it;

No, they worked fine. It doesn’t take much for a computer program (especially search engines and chatbots) to recognize two words spelled differently have similar meanings.

Go misspell anything into a search engine, whichever you use, and notice how it suggests a correct spelling.

So if a few people try this, it’s not enough to have an effect. If enough people to have an effect do it, then the program quickly learns leetspeak.

But that doesn’t stop people from constantly having this idea

does it not then have the potential to water down enough districts to make them swing districts,

That’s how gerrymandering always works…

You want to get every district to where you’d barely win, and jam all the extra people who would vote against you into as few districts as possible that they will definitely win.

The obvious danger is if you gerrymander too much, and a wave shows up, you could potentially lose everything because you no longer have any “safe” districts.

I’ve been saying since the beginning that we’re better off letting them do all this redistricting ASAP, that way we can start the groundwork to win enough of those close districts to take the whole state government

The term “blood libel”, I don’t even know what it mean, to be honest,

At least you kind of asked what it meant…

Would have been faster to look it up tho:

Blood libels often claim that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos, an unleavened flatbread which is eaten during Passover. Earlier versions of the blood libel accused Jews of ritually re-enacting the crucifixion.[10] The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victims of human sacrifice have become venerated as Christian martyrs. Many of these – most prominently William of Norwich (1144), Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (1255), and Simon of Trent (1475) – became objects of local cults and veneration; the cult of Hugh of Lincoln gained the support of Henry III and his son Edward I, giving it official credibility and helping it to be particularly well remembered. Although he was never canonized, the veneration of Simon was added to the General Roman Calendar. One child who was allegedly murdered by Jews, Gabriel of Białystok, was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.

It’s just wild to me that so many people would spend more time typing a comment admitting they were ignorant of something, than it takes to just search it online so they could stop being ignorant.

And it’s not just you, it’s happening more and more.

So since I provided a source for what blood libel actual is, can you share why you made that comment instead of just typing “blood libel” into a search engine?

I don’t think it was overestimating, more just not realizing that the term “blood libel” isn’t a widely recognized antisemitic concept

Yes…

I overestimated people by thinking if I explained what “blood libel” is, I didnt have to literally say “blood libel is___”

They’re implying the original tweet means threat to kids isn’t from the genocide, and instead it’s the bigoted (and false) stereotype that there are secret Jewish rituals that kill children as blood sacrifices.

When I said “bigoted (and false) stereotype…” You could substitute that for “blood libel”. I just pre-emptively explained it not everyone knew what it was.

And rather than ask questions, a bunch of confused people furrowed their brow and down voted.

But you asked questions, so now you know:

Blood libels often claim that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos, an unleavened flatbread which is eaten during Passover. Earlier versions of the blood libel accused Jews of ritually re-enacting the crucifixion.[10] The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically, blood libel claims have been made in order to account for the otherwise unexplained deaths of children.

but you seem to believe there is something else going on?

…

Whoever Rachel is, she was clearly referencing Gaza and the ongoing genocide.

Eve then (likely intentionally) misunderstood and acted like Rachel was talking about Jewish blood libel. Which is a bigoted belief going back millenia that part of traditional Jewish religious rituals include child sacrifice.

Evan then “dared her to explain why that would be antisemitic”.

My point is that is not as effective as clarifying what was going on and why it’s not…

But I can admit when I’m wrong, clearly I was overestimating people.

lol I’m Jewish buddy

…

And Jewish people support trump too, why couldn’t a self-proffessed Jewish person legitimately believe Nazi propaganda?

You know that was literally going on during the actual Holocaust too, right? Why wouldn’t it be possible in 2025 when multiple high profile people fit that description?

Especially after you just did it in two comments in a row?

Israelis are openly in public killing children as blood sacrifices

killing children with glee with the specific intent to appease god and maintain their divine grant to the land of Israel

That’s straight up Nazi shit you’re repeating, and whatever religion you are doesn’t change that shit.

No, because that’s not a blood sacrifice, and you’re still conflating Judaism with Israel, which is what Netenyahu and the woman from Twitter want to happen…

It’s pretty important, because if you don’t understand it fascist movements will keep abusing your ignorance to help their own propaganda, even tho you clearly disagree with it…

There’s also the huge risk of actual nazis who are intentionally doing what you’re doing and saying they’re commiting blood libel.

So now instead of talking about Israel committing genocide, nobody knows if your an actual Nazi or just spreading Nazi propaganda because you don’t know what the fuck is going on.

Like, does any of this make even a little sense?

You’re acting like that’s a common scenario…

There’s a few small slices of area in a minority of states where you might be legally allowed to pick, but that is not a guarantee there’s more than one option.

To my knowledge most of them are artificial monopolies anyways.

Like, in Perfectville your choice between any available provider is legally protected. However company A and company B made a handshake deal to draw a line down the area and not provide service on one side of the line.

Very few of those green states are for electricity

And if you just meant:

Non profit = good

Then I’m going to have to explain an entirely different thing…

And I’m not optimistic about our chances to be honest

That’s an insane conclusion to draw!

The people who assumed the person who mentioned blood libel… Was talking about blood libel…

Used such a leap in logic that you can’t even imagine how someone could make it?

Jesus…

Instead, I thought about the ongoing genocide in Gaza and countless children who have been killed.

Which is almost definitely what they were talking about.

Asking someone to explain what they mean is totally valid

And no where near as effective or clear as explaining the situation… Because someone posting in bad faith would let it hang, but some legitimate posters might just not see it till much later, or even at all considering blocks.

Which brings up we don’t know if OPs screenshot was taken immediately after the last reply before they immediately lept to:

they would never explain how. the ambiguity is the point. disgusting hypocrisy

Which makes it sound like they specifically did not understand what was happening.

But I get the feeling this is one of those complicated things no one actually thinks about and just goes off feelings rather than logic. So even if they’re right, they still don’t understand why they’re right.

What?

They’re implying the original tweet means threat to kids isn’t from the genocide, and instead it’s the bigoted (and false) stereotype that there are secret Jewish rituals that kill children as blood sacrifices.

It’s almost certainly an intentional misunderstanding, but if anyone seriously can’t parse that out without someone explaining it, they really need to work on their critical thinking skills.

Bullshit.

You really think companies in America with monoplies would lower prices just because their costs went down?

I wish I lived in an America like that…

I don’t think the suspect will claim it, but…

A law enforcement official said that police have not yet determined a motive, MS NOW reported.

But the suspect has been linked to statements that show support for an anarchist ideology, two people briefed on the arrest told the news outlet.

The cops/feds are 100% going to say it, and already basically are.

Meanwhile, vehicles for model year 2031 will apparently be $925 cheaper than otherwise.

That would be if prices were set on what it costs to produce, and not set to maximize profits…

We see it with EV discounts too, if people will pay 60k for an EV and the government knocks 5k off with a tax credit, they price the EV at 65k and corporations are essentially given tax payer money as a bonus because when the EV rebates go away, they drop the price.

Complete with the performative Carhartt over a suit…

People thought they’d hang onto CDs and DVDs too…
