God I love this conversation thread.

That’s a fair question.

In consideration, take the Jim Crow laws from the USA. These laws enforced racial segregation and allowed for abject racism and abhorrent conditions/treatment of black people. In short, they supported racism.

Now one could say “but the people were the ones to carry it out” which sure, but then we might as well start asking ourselves how much government really matters and other philosophical questions. I don’t think the people are innocent, but to focus on your question, that’s an example of how political policy and laws can support things. The laws enable the legal environment, the people then carry it out.

Gotcha gotcha

People are happy and enjoy eating them so I guess I’m doing it right. How are you making yours?

That’s possible, the statement is a bit ambiguous as to which part they are "whomp whomp"ing to.

Not sure if you mean me by “person you’re replying to” or someone else. I believe it’s someone else but it’s a little bit of a confusing sentence.

Either way, it’s been a fun couple of months since this bullshit started. With all kinds of dumb takes and arguments. It’s enough to make someone say “oyvey”

Holy fuck.

Zionism (the political policy supporting the genocide) is not Judaism. How would I know? I’m a Jew and I abhore the Palestinian genocide. Nothing in the Jewish religion supports what is going on nor does anything in our religion say “go be ZIONISTS and kill people”.

That one no, but there are plenty of leftists in the fediverse that can’t understand the concept of “Zionism is not Judaism.” And saying such gets you down voted because lol.

Would be really smart if they so made it so that people are able to order actual products through the virtual store for delivery. Akin to ready player one or snow crash.

Would absolutely need some protections so a kid isn’t just buying a bunch of random stuff but that’s something to be figured out and would help Roblox transition to more than just “a game for kids”

The risk can be pretty fun hombre but you do what works for ya and I’ll own up to what I’ve done if I have to. A seemingly rare trait here in the states

Wait we don’t allow people with felonies to enter? Quick! Get trump to leave the country!

I know it doesn’t work that way but God would it be funny.

I personally want to see humans invest in geoengineering but not for climate change. I believe geoengineering research and development will lead to terraforming which we’ll need to expand beyond the earth.
