Generally speaking everyone of a given demographic feels the same way at any given time. They hold the same opinions too. They are like clonal colonies of aspen trees. I speak for all of Siberia. I speak for all of the slain Russian Communists. I speak for the Red Army. I speak for feminists. If you disagree with me, you disagree with feminism. A carrot is a type of fruit.
Funny cause not having to constantly have a take about current events is a feature to me, not a bug.
Edit, which I hope shows retroactively on shares: since this got seen by so many more people than I ever thought/hoped it would, I want to add this.
First: It has been pointed out to me that my interpretation of OOP's post was uncharitable at best. I never wanted this to be about dogpiling on them, definitely don't do it.
Second: I think this post came across as me being callous or even gleeful about not having an opinion and being indifferent to tragedy. I regret that, I am not indifferent to it, and I have lots of opinions about it. The part I stand by is that I don't think I should be compelled to post them because they are fundamentally uneducated (although getting better as I read more about it from people on here). And I don't necessarily think people should feel like they are entitled to know everyone else's opinion about everything that's going on in the world.
OK that's all, sorry
i am begging people on these sites to realize that people have conversations offline
Generally I don't care what people on Bluesky are saying because it seems like the vibes over there are borne of people who didn't find the same aspects of twitter as insufferable as we did but also: There was a huge essay Shel wrote about Israel and Palestine and Zionism that was making the rounds the past 3 days, to say no one is talking about Israel and Palestine is a little disingenuous.
by people conflating an entire website for the portion they happen to see on a cursory feed or search.

You can contribute to that fundraiser below. Please only give if you are financially able—attention or spreading of the link is perfectly fine enough of a difference to make.
Information on Palestine Children's Relief Fund from the fundraiser:
The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
Anonymous User asked: at the behest of the part of my brain that is an idiot I decided to watch a summary of KHUX's story and it left me thinking: why does Kingdom Hearts insist on answering questions no one was asking? "this is why Maleficent came back during KH2" shut da fuck up. "this is why Ventus was a being of pure light" WHAT? I thought you'd answered this already? in the same game you introduced the character even??
nothing is funnier than retconning the essential nature of existence in a mobile game. nomura's never beating that one
