Also Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart was great and I don’t hear many other people talk about it

World News@lemmy.world•Irish women’s basketball team refused to shake hands with Israel
41·2 years agoBut deliberately misunderstanding the term antisemitism is also quite frustrating.
Given how the term is broadly understood in modern usage, I wouldn’t say the players are misunderstanding it; I think it’s more a question of misidentifying where the pushback is actually coming from.
And I am sympathetic, given all the reasons both modern and historical that might make it easy to infer antisemitism. But starting there shuts out any possibility for nuance or discussion or learning.
What frustrates me is how hard it is to get people out of that mindset - of taking things other people are communicating and adding one’s own assumptions on where they’re coming from. You have to be able to recognize how your behavior is limiting your ability to empathize and grow, and that kind of change can be so challenging.
It feels like an uphill battle, but positive change doesn’t happen overnight.

Chat@beehaw.org•Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action?
13·2 years agoI’d hope some of it gets socked away for any possible time in the future when costs may be greater.
As for the rest of it, I’d like to see it used to grow the platform - marketing to increase user base, more developers, etc. Whatever makes sense.

politics @lemmy.world•Kellyanne Conway thinks Republicans can win back women in 2024 by saying, “We took away your abortion rights, but we’re letting you keep contraception”
19·2 years agoSure, but only if you count stealing nudes off her underage daughter’s phone then keeping the child porn in her possession for an undetermined amount of time until she found a spiteful enough reason to tweet them out to her 3.5 million followers being abusive.
Yeah in my experience it’s largely where you go.
Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.
There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.
Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it’s one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn’t know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.
Yep pulled the hoses off the showers, IIRC

News@lemmy.world•Reno Is Beating the Odds in Solving Homelessness
12·2 years agoHaving an actual address is ingrained in all aspects of modern life in the US. Picture trying to get a loan for a car, or applying for a job without an address - mandatory fields when doing either. Then look at the housing market, and it would be obvious to anybody why it’s so hard for these people.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Cancels Japanese Esports Events Following Threats to Staff and Spectators
6·2 years agoNintendo games might be very family friendly, but Nintendo as a company has a well-earned negative reputation in a lot of verticals including esports and community events.
The article doesn’t clarify where the threats were coming from, so it may be for different reasons. And obv it doesn’t justify harassing and threatening random employees though.
I guess when they call themselves the party of law and order they’re talking about the TV show???


As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.
But I do expect we’ll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They’re still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don’t even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.
Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.
