  • Energy is everywhere people. It's huge and filled all around us. I came into this room and looked around and said, "Wow, look at all this energy." This guy, Robert Boyle, scientist, smart man, brilliant man, he told me he said, "Energy is stored in a medium around us. It's the luminiferous aether." Lu-mi-ni-fer-ous, now there's a funny word. I think it sparkles but we can't see it, I don't know. But he knows, the guy in the lab coat this Boyle fellow. He knows it well and I think we'll see more and more people talking about it.

  • I don’t think I realized just how bad Islamophobia and racism towards Arab people is in the US until recently

    Jump

  • It was so intense, the anti-Muslim sentiment. I'm also in my 40s and I also remember it too well, unfortunately.

    I remember arguing with my family why we shouldn't go to war with Iraq. I told them how it would kill tens of thousands of people (I was off by an order of magnitude). Iraqis and Muslims were referred to by them in slurs. Every bit of propaganda you've ever heard was mentioned. There was no getting through to them. It's probably one of the most radicalizing things I've ever seen first hand just how set they were in this. Like a switch had clicked on this topic and all you could hear was what was said in the news and from your worst coworkers in hushed tones.

    But that's the kicker, these things weren't even said in hushed tones. You could be openly Islamophobic in public. You could use slurs in public against Arab peoples and get grunts of approval in the fucking grocery line at your local Piggly Wiggly. There was no mask. The only filter existed in liberal media and even then that filter was not N95, let me tell you.

    What's strange is I did now an older guy who was a family friend who had retired as a sniper and decided to do the PMC (Private Military Contractor) thing in Iraq when it kicked off. Mostly escorting convoys and shit. You'd think he'd be hoorah but for him it was just a money thing. And when he came back he had more sympathy for Muslims and Iraqis. He had some wild stories and some people he worked with were actually Iraqi themselves (one guy was a former Mr Iraq body builder guy who sadly died in an IED ambush). I think Iraq either woke some people up to the humanity of the other or cemented it in their minds.

    In rural areas it never really died. I moved away from rural Tennessee in '04 and Islamophobia showed no sign of abating. Talking to my mom/grandmother over the last year who live in North Tennessee and South Kentucky reinforces that. They still have that same fucking mentality. It might have cooled for a few years but all you need is some white people dying at the hands of a guy in a turban and the hate boils back over again. Really gross.

  • the person below you posted the green party support for a plan to infringe upon iran's sovereignty and relinquish aspects of their nuclear program to western oversight which in turn empowers and emboldens the zionists so before you claim they are antizionist please consider that they are, in fact, not. they might be outspoken against this genocide, which is of course, cool and good, but in the long term policies like that only strengthen the zionist position in the region

  • yeah, yikes, that makes the green party even worse of a

    party imho

    iran should not ever, and i repeat, EVER, abandon any pursuit of anything nuclear and in fact has a legal and moral obligation to development its own nuclear arsenal as a deterrent to the west. any effort to infringe upon this basic sovereign right is imperialist and must be vehemetly opposed by any self proclaimed socialist. any socialist who would support such a platform is also a

  • so my gramps was a total germophobe and in his defense he was putting on a brave face to help me with the vomit situation but the shit covered kid that wasnt even his blood was like, waaaay too over the edge for him

    he was also a sailor in ww2 and was all tatted up with anchors and betty boop and shit so this 6'3" old guy with tattoos just looking down and saying that to this kid is so funny to me in hindsight

  • When I was like 8 or 9 I went to a diner with my grandparents but I wasn't feeling great. About 5 minutes after we got our meal I went to the bathroom and had to vomit, which I proceed to do a lot of. There was another young kid in there my age or younger, no less than 5. He had shit everywhere in the other stall, real nasty.

    My grandfather, a germophobe, comes in to help me and as he's doing so the other kid comes out of the other stall covered in shit and looks at him and says in a squeeky little voice, "m-m-mister, can you please help me?" and my grandfather looked him right and the face and said, "fuck this," and walked out.

    My grandmother came in right after and helped us both and while doing that the boys father came in and thanked her profusely.
