15 years ago when I made the change from catering to infrastructure engineering

If you don’t mind sharing man could we know why you made the change and why infrastructure engineering?

some guy making a shitty startup thanks to government subsidies

Idk how to explain it but it seems like the western political economy is going to collapse soon, there is too much of this type of shit, a lot of money being moved around and hoarded without a lot of material manufacturing going on.

this current time took 6 months of applying Mon-Fri 8 hours a day to find my current position

Brutal, applying for jobs is a full time job in itself.

classic reactionary STEM grad who feels entitled to a high-paid tech position because I stumbled through three years of lectures

Mate you’re entitled to a high-paid job which doesn’t harm you psychologically or physically, just like every worker. Status and power over others is another thing but there is no shame in wanting a safe workplace that gives you all your surplus value. The bourgeois have run a massive psyop over the past few decades to push the idea that its being “entitled” to expect humane conditions at work since they need to make conditions shitty for workers by cutting a lot of corners to offset the falling rate of profit. They are evil parasitic trash that need to be roasted alive on campfires in minecraft survival skyblock hunger games hypothetically.

why did they call the horse that…

Didn’t shartpeero get humiliated multiple times to the point of irrelevancy after 2020?

Is Lassalle the same Lassalle who Marx allegedly called a few racial slurs?

I wonder why, I’ve seen them in some train videos on youtube

Thanks so much OP that is very based! Now one of the topmost pinned posts on the front page of hexbear explicitly brands pissrael as genocidal, a good signal to everyone about our stance. Thank you for taking the time to discuss things despite receiving a flood of messages at all times, really appreciate the consistent effort it takes to make such informative news and book club posts. Thanks to everyone who responded to the suggestion in the previous thread, all input helped refine it. Even something as small as this demonstrates the effectiveness of collective decision making.

Oh cool hello OP thanks for making these weekly informative news megathreads! Yeah nothing much mainly a small suggestion that a significant portion of the userbase is on board with *(judging by upvotes), what do you think of changing the “Israel-Palestine Conflict” header to something more along the lines of “Israel’s genocide of Palestine” or “The Palestinian Genocide”?

Someone in the last thread, @PalestinianDream@hexbear.net, explained the rationale behind our suggestion really well:

"i know im preaching to the choir on this site but the language we use is incredibly important. Its like why we call it IOF and not IDF, for the same reason we say the Temporary Zionist Entity instead of “Israel”, the same reason we say the Zionist Genocide of the Palestinian people and not “Israel-Palestine Conflict.”

Its about reframing the conversation with our narrative. It can seem insignificant, but its important to delegimize the entity’s existence first and foremost in the language we use. The same way zionists refuse to acknowledge Palestinians as a real people or Palestine as the land they are occupying. Words have power"

Furthermore, even though the links listed underneath are for “Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel.”, centering the genocide that such brave acts of armed resistance are desperately struggling against would the bigger picture into focus, the greater context for why there is fighting in the first place.

Having a clear focus on the genocide of Palestine being the source of all armed conflict in Palestine at the moment as part of the news mega that is pinned on the front page of the site sends a clear message to all users and visitors of where we stand, with the truth.

It would also give people here motivation to go and join any local actions against their own countries complicity in the genocide, hopefully.

Thank you for the consideration!

(Also to clarify a couple of things to prevent misinterpretation by any other readers:

• The extent of the suggestion is to change the 1 line on the news mega, nothing else.

• The suggestion is not to ban the word “conflict” or the phrase “Israel-Palestine conflict” from the site.

• The suggestion does not implicitly nor explicitly call OP a zionist, because OP is based af and cool.)

Does anyone know a way to directly communicate with OP? I’d imagine they don’t read their normal inbox on this account because its just too many messages.

a grown man beating a toddler to death

Its no surprise but those vile in-human bastards unironically do shit like this. *straight out of the horse’s mouth as well (btselem)

I really don’t understand this whole obsession

Hey mate there’s no need for this. I’m not accusing OP of being some zionist or trying to start shit, sorry if I wasn’t clear enough about this.

Calling it a conflict doesn’t mean it’s not a genocide. Calling it a war doesn’t mean it’s not a genocide.

I agree, there is a “conflict” and a “war” because the people who are being genocided are fighting back against their rabid murderers with the help of 1 ally out of 195 countries, Yemen.

The point here is that we center the genocide that pissrael is committing against the people of Palestine. Something that our governments and mass media don’t want. I agree that its not a lot, but its the least we could do, it would also make any zionists who visit this website seethe as well.

It sends a very clear message about where we stand. Because the nature of the conflict between the two sides (the entire western world v.s. *the innocent people of Palestine and Yemen) is that one side ideally wants every single person on the other side to die a slow, torturous death while the other side just wants to live in peace.

To re-iterate I’m not accusing OP of being a zionist or anything, just saying it would be good to center the genocide that our countries are complicit in.

@SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net requesting that “Israel-Palestine Conflict” please be changed to another header along the lines of “Israel’s genocide of Palestine” or “The Palestinian Genocide”. Especially when there is “Russia-Ukraine Conflict” written immediately after, its just not comparable. *I know you don’t have any bad intentions, this will just send a very firm message about where this website stands (against genocide).

So acid is like the spice melange from dune where taking it gives you the mental capacity to perform spacetime-bending mathematical calculations so that you can steer the ship at lightspeed without hitting planets

What a based speech.

Labbayka Falasteen, god bless you and your loved ones, it is a inevitable that the cancer invading your lands will be dragged to justice so that people can finally live in peace.
