No it is not, the “This is them now” meme template has been around for a while and is not about race, and generally the more different/dramatic the faux before and faux after pictures are the more humorous it is intended to be
- Comment on Weirdest one I got 1 week ago:
i havent really thought much about the massive cultural and societal coordination and effort required to clean up a bombed out town
Ramma Damma feels like the tip of an iceburg - do you have any references (ideally translated to english, but ill try to make due if in their native language) of how a town/region dealt with the destruction and infrastructure reset?
Like theres the vivid memory of first hand death and destruction to process, and likely the absence of many able bodied people whod traditionally lead the cleanup but were lost in the war itself, but then theres a collosal amount of work ahead to return to s steady state, and all the idealic potential of how to improve things once theres a blank slate, and the realities of how to reuse/recover resources like stones and pipes and such
It seems such an intense era just thinking shallowly about it, and id like to understand more what that it was like, the problems that arose and how they resolved, and how it got organized

Taking the meme too seriously, but its a common theme that i do want to counterpoint
The US government is way more, and way more good, and way beyond the scope of the whitehouse and the clowns in it, even with its tainting
Theres plenty wrong and bad, but to ignore the good both invalidates all the good works done that is silently ignored, and also spits in the face of the whole yinyang concept
If we only focus on the bad, and ignore all the good, what sort of feedback system does that create for ourselves? Were finding out i beleive.

For those who have always seen this image and advice and have been like, “huh?” Like i was for the longest time, it wasnt until i finally started going to the gym and learning squats did i realize how fulfilling and painless lifting with proper form is
If youre looking for a good starting point for learning squats at home, ive sent this video to a couple friends with positive results: youtu.be/k-0OYcoyASk

But with different levels of quality control and potentially ingredients - not trying to dimmenish white labels, they serve a role, but its always been absurd to me that just because something is made in the same factory that those products are identical - a few items might be - but you can taste white label and brand name side by side and they taste different even if they have the same manufacturing marks and have different failure rates (and sometimes the white label even tastes better!)
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 8 months ago:
Hard assets make a lot of sense when paper assets do not.
Real estate and precious metals are the traditional hard assets. The stock market can implode, but a home will remain a home, an acre will remain an acre, an ounce will remain an ounce.
There are difficulties and risks and efforts required with hard assets, theres a reason why soft assets developed, but when things go wrong people trust what they can hold and walk on - and thus seek real estate and precious metals as they are certain and tangible.
With a little more trust in the system, there are softer assets available such as bonds, specifically treasury bonds, and there are etfs that attempt to exclude the ai bubble such as XMAG, or the sp500 but equally distributed instead of by market cap which increases diversity like RSP to reduce the fallout of the ai bubble pop
Theres a million ways to navigate a bubble, do the research and find confidence in your plan, and think about how you’ll react in various scenarios, especially when the numbers go down or arent going as high as expected

- Comment on Hurricane-killing particles could sabotage storms before they grow 1 year ago:
If a hurricane is aborted at the embryo stage, then all that potential energy in the water, which fuels the hurricane, is never consumed and dissipated by the hurricane.
I think if we tried this, we’d find the oceans to heat up at an even more extreme rate, and create spontaneous weather events that we are unable to prepare and defend against.
- Comment on ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 Finale Is 90 Minutes, Longest Episode in the Series 1 year ago:
I could not get past the first flashforward of the season, its content too morbid and topical for me to want to watch things build up to that scene over the season or watch them try to renounce the darkness as some joke. The worlds rough right now and just couldn’t push through it despite loving seasons 1 and 2.
- Comment on I knew it 1 year ago:
Exactly
This joke is literally “but what if they were gay, haha!” “I knew it!”
Its literally the bully humor that we’ve fought for years and years to rid ourselves of, and here it is on the top with over 200 votes.
This is hate wrapped in a virtuous wrapper at its most generous, and way too many people are just seeing the wrapper and not what’s just under its thin facade: homophobia.

I’m not really sure what you’re asking, but I will say, that most couple’s, be they gay, straight, or otherwise: do not like to talk about explicit details of their intimacy.
What happens in the bedroom are sensitive vulnerable personal moments. And its generally culturally taboo for strangers to ask and pry and expose those details.

- Comment on Navy warship production hits 25-year low, falls behind China: report 1 year ago:
I fully agree, companies whine and complain that they can’t find any skilled labor without ever acknowledging that it’s their job to train and take risks on the newbies. Instead they just want the perfect candidate for their specialized position to be gift wrapped and at “market rate” and desperate enough to go through multiple interview stages.
Even in my job, I’ve asked over and over for them to hire a junior/apprentice that I can train up from the beginning on our complex system and work, but they just want to hire short term contractors instead. We end spending the same amount of time training them as a junior, but then 6-12 months later when their contract is up, they go off somewhere else and we have to do it all over again and never build on our foundations.
I was hired as a contractor, and stuck through until I was an employee, and I’m now 5 years in, but it was not easy. It was essentially a two year paid interview.
And most don’t make it that way. If I was hired as a real employee as a junior, and able to train my way up with the masters of my company, who knows where I’d be and how not-delayed and not-over-budget our project would be.
When I talk to business about it, they moan how employees and contractors come from different budgets and the stock market favors contractors so their hands are tied, and I call bullshit on that. It’s bad business and the solution is obvious - train up the workforce you want to have.
It’s like buying a good pair of boots once, or buying cheap boots every year.

To reach across the divide for a handshake:
This is something Biden and many progressives have been pushing for,
Free community college/trade schools: whitehouse.gov/…/readout-of-white-house-meeting-o…
Advanced manufacturing training and jobs in the US: whitehouse.gov/…/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administ…
And even pushing paid apprenticeships: whitehouse.gov/…/fact-sheet-president-biden-signs…
And specifically in shipbuilding and getting the workforce where it needs, both in private ships and the military, the admin is moving in the right direction, opening new shipbuilding yards, getting people to train up, and putting in ship orders whitehouse.gov/…/fact-sheet-white-house-announces…
Getting more manufacturing back in the US, becoming more self sufficient, and having dignified employment are all my goals as a progressive too, and I’m really happy there’s movement from the current administration in their areas (despite complaints in other areas)
(I used all Whitehouse links as a from-the-horses mouth source, but there are plenty of articles about each)
