  • Honestly I think if you lean into the grey hairs it can totally work for you. I understand wanting to stop the balding (assuming it’s actually happening and not just you imagining things – see a dermatologist), but just because you have some grey hairs doesn’t mean you’ll look like an old man in a couple years. You can always dye it if you want to, but as someone who’s had some grey in my hair since my 20s, it’s really not going to age you that much on its own, and some people will think it looks great.



  • The IDF is a military force actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel itself is a colonist state that only exists thanks to constant violence threatened and perpetrated by its military and the US. It is not in any way antisemitic to criticize these entities up to and including advocating for their dissolution. Anyone who takes this valid criticism and turns it into “Jews Bad” is either incapable of understanding the complexity of the issues here, is a bad faith actual anti-Semite looking for an excuse, or has fallen for the ubiquitous state propaganda that has been conditioning this exact response.

    States and militaries are not culture. Nationalism is not identity. Fascism must be dismantled whatever form it takes.




  • For downvoters: China has no global “social credit system”. There was one medium-small city that implemented what we imagine for a bit (though with the harshest punishments being things like inability to purchase luxury train tickets, not imprisonment like the propaganda says), but abandoned the project. There is a “social credit” or “public trust” system that has pretty wide adoption, but in almost diametric opposition to the Western propaganda, it’s not for keeping tabs on citizens, but rather government officials and contractors, to ensure interagency knowledge of any impropriety. I.E. precisely the sort of system that would help prevent a cadre of hacks and conmen from infiltrating government agencies and abusing them for personal gain.

    Stray was so mid… If it didn’t have cute cats it would have been forgotten instantly.

    I was most flabbergasted by the fact that you never hunt anything!! What a miss! How do you make a game where you play as a cat without any stealth stalking of prey??
