Can I ask what country your from?

When I went out to Seattle to protest this weekend we were a bit bigger than the last time. It's still a almost depressing number of people for a supposedly "leftist" city. But I look at Italy and the numbers in the global south and try to remember I'm not alone. I'm just far away. The vast majority of the world stands with Palestine. It's just been so disheartening to live in the brain rot of the imperial core. My normie friends tell me "like, no one even hears or talks about this stuff".

I just have to remind myself that I am the sane one in a truly sick society. The numbers of the world are massively on my side. Even if I can't speak their language or give them a hug.

Mired for sure.

a troublesome or intractable situation

Something has already come from it. That something doesn't have to be the end of Zionism though to make it meaningful.

The totality of all action will be what brings about Zionisms death. From the single protest with 50 people you went to. From the BDS movement. From the blockade from Yemin. From the flotillas. From the small win against Microsoft recently. From all of it, and more, Zionism will end one day.

Do not feel disheartened by not meeting the end goal or even making noticable progress for each individual action. Feel inspired by the acts of defiance to also take action in what ever way you are capable of.

I didn't actually think they had anything to do with it until he put that out. It was so odd.

Technically True. The IOF will blow them up if they try to feed themselves by fishing.

WE'RE PROTECTING YOU FROM US!

What are the odds any of these countries ships actually defend them? Am I being overly negative? Or are they basically glorified rescue boats for when Israel attacks?

As an American. Dude, we've got Nazis marching through our cities. America definitely bad. Please send help.

It's a slow trickle. It's like the research that was done into gambling addicts. The majority of dopamine doesn't come from winning. The majority of it comes from the anticipation. Or in our case. Writing out a long comment that no one else will read.

Yep. Some of my best conversations have been random ADHD people I met at a party. Usually with some normies trying and failing to follow our conversation. And never talk to them again.

Ok. Making this a text post. But if you just want to hear song here it is.

Ok. Hear me out. Some context first. Guthrie grew up without cars primarily (given Oklahoma at the time); and his parents likely being one of the many in that time that hated cars taking over their streets; and most of all polluting the environment with their noise; he likely grew up experiencing that transition and also his parents likely criticism of it. Ok, bad run on sentence but that's his basic background.

I think even we today take for granted how peaceful, calm, and better a world is without cars. Guthrie apparently wrote this song for an album for kids. But given his always "tongue in cheek" style and very strong left leaning political views. I think this song is literally mocking (1) the kids of rich "well off" people from Guthrie's generation that were using cars to 'show off' and (2) the obsolute absurdity of anyone thinking the car farts were cool.

Just wondering if anyone listened to this song and thought the same. I can't find anyone actually taking this song seriously since it was written. But Guthrie has other songs written for children that people have taken double meaning from.

I was convinced of this by the time I heard him make the horn sound of the car. Maybe listen to other Guthrie songs. But that almost "dying/obnoxious" noise he made was telling.

I know people joke around about this a lot. But I was blown away by a recent switch to I did from using cv2 with python to using cv2 with C++.

I had literally hundreds of thousands of images to analyze for a dataset. My python script would have taken 12 hours.

I ported it to C++ and it literally destroyed it in 20 minutes.

I'm sure I was doing something that really wasn't optimized well for python. I know somewhere in the backend it probably was using a completely different library with multi thread optimization. Or maybe turbojpg is just garbage in python. I'm still not even sure what the bottleneck was. I don't know enough to really explain why.

But holy shit. I never had that much of a performance difference in such a simple task.

Was very impressed.
