Close to four months since the conflict between Israel and the Islamist group Hamas began on Oct. 7, 2023, participants in the demonstration in Hiroshima’s Naka Ward called to “free Palestine.”
More than 50 people, including members of a citizens’ group that stands daily in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome demanding an end to bloodshed and attacks, walked down Hondori street shouting “Stop the massacre” and “Ceasefire now” among other slogans. They then held a rally in front of the A-bomb Dome.
A farmer in his 30s from the Hiroshima Prefecture city of Shobara commented, “No matter how hard a day I have (here in Japan), it would probably seem like paradise to the people of Gaza. We must take action beyond calling for a cease-fire, to bring the occupation to an end.”
A woman from Algeria, which was under French colonial rule for 132 years from 1830, said she came to the event because she felt that Palestine was suffering the same fate as her country.
Participants also voiced anger and questions about the Japanese government’s decision to suspend funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and the Hiroshima City Council’s lack of resolutions regarding a cease-fire and other issues.
So I just made a joke that “more women should poison their husbands” to my cool boss and then immediately found out that he got divorced because he was poisoned by his ex-wife
I’m apologizing profusely and he’s like “oh it’s fine it was funny” and then he offhandedly mentions that his next girlfriend tried to poison him also
libsoftiktok going after a beloved inventor furry for some reason
if you’re wearing a fitbit, you’re using spottacus’s technology. be grateful.
I’m going to be honest being a furry is more respectable than inventing biological monitoring devices used to harvest data and micromanage workers and becoming a billionaire off of them
there’s a chasm of difference though between developing a legitimate, potentially life-saving medical technology and putting it out into the world, and then being a big private company that decides to use that technology for gross breach of privacy. the moral failing is definitely not on the inventor.
“the problem is its never gonna be what all the fans want” imo the problem is the majority of fans have bad fucking taste like. if you write a story with the intent to keep editing it in line with what fans want you’re gonna end up with a shitty story. obviously you can take in criticism from early access but once you publish the thing you shouldn’t constantly be retconning characterization wtf. good god
also even if they didn’t have bad taste where is your fucking spine. commit to the bit already you cannot avoid criticism
when I was in high school my dad was speeding like crazy because I was running late to my job at the cemetery. and the cop who pulled him over gave him three whole tickets because who the hell goes 95 in a 25??? but then, when my dad went to court the cop didn’t show, and so the judge looked over at the charges and just couldn’t believe it. he thought the cop must’ve been so racist that he made it up because who the hell goes 95 in a 25? so my dad got all 3 tickets dismissed bc of racism. that he didn’t even experience because he was in fact going 95 in a 25.
to clarify. my dad used to be a cab driver in ny and he also grew up in india so he just drives like a dickhead.
