I am curious, what do you think Zionism is actually?

I don’t think I can continue contributing when there’s literally a rule condoning ethnic discrimination

The rule against Zionism is literally the opposite of "a rule condoning ethnic discrimination". This community's second rule is actually redundant with its first one, but it's worth stating separately due to the prevalence of misunderstandings about it.

FYI, aside from being predicated on the forced displacement and/or murder of the Palestinian people, Herzl's Zionism (to which the state of Israel explicitly credits its existence) has also always been rooted in antisemitism.

Wikipedia says:

The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the "powerhouse of the cell", a phrase popularized by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 Scientific American article of the same name.[4]

But know your meme attributes its meme status to this tumblr post from 2013:

screenshot of text: "what i learned from school 1. im a fucking piece of shit 2. everybody else is also a fucking piece of shit 3. mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"

Contrary to comments in many places like this reddit thread from 2018, I suspect the phrase wasn't actually used in many textbooks or very commonly known prior to that tumblr post.

(If you search on Google Books you can find numerous textbooks using the phrase. Range-based search on Google Books appears to be broken so I'm not sure, but all the ones I checked were published well after 2013.)

You better find a way to make it easy, soldier, or I'm gonna start pushing buttons!

in other news, the market price of hacked credentials for MAGA-friendly social media accounts:

notein case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.

in all seriousness, renaming someone else's account and presenting it to CBP as one's own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.

where is this?

edit: via this comment I see it is Stonehenge von Tiefenpölz, aka Fränkischen Stonehenge built by artist Alexander Lämmlein between 2018 and 2023 in Tiefenpölz, Upper Franconia.

you can still use OpenRC instead if you want, and sxmo will continue to do so by default.

you can read here about why they added systemd.

in this interview the guy behind the event (Mark Fitzpatrick) says this:

screencap with subtitle "and it's, it's um it is sinful, you know, to act out on that."

he's also a flat earther:
