I let go of my faith in my teens. For a while I was pretty set on not calling myself a Muslim. I think that 'Muslims' is not always a description of someone's literal faith, but perhaps the experience they live(d) through. I have no problems identifying myself under 'Queer Muslims', even though I am technically an atheist and therefore don't practice, because that is not always relevant. I was raised as a Muslim, and therefore have a lot in common with others who are Muslim.

Agreeing with your summary of his actions and calling him cringey are not mutually exclusive

Good god, I am so tired of hearing about this cringey edge lord.

FWIW I am trans and I 100% agree with you. Been thinking about making an account on another instance, just not sure which yet.

Not OP, but there are at least 2 things going on here:

The first part is that the Jewish person is effectively treating this like an inside joke, where someone might not find it funny unless they were present in the situation that the joke references.

The second part to the ‘God not being there’ bit (which is what actually makes it funny imho) is basically saying that the holocaust was so horrible that God was clearly someplace else/asleep/absent to allow something like that to happen under his watch.

Eh... I know this is a meme sub, but this undermines any arguments to be made about real problems with healthcare systems by just... not being accurate.

If you need stitches in the UK, that's an A&E (ER for my North American friends) sort of ordeal, and yeah, you won't be seen immediately because the system is badly managed and overwhelmed. You'll have to wait several hours (unless you're bleeding out/at risk of death, in which case you'll be seen quickly), not 43 months ffs.

That said, anything that's non-urgent can take a few months. The only exceptions to this are 1) mental health, where you're looking at several months for the waitlist almost irrespective of severity, and 2) gender-affirming care, where you won't be seen for well in excess of 5 years, which at this rate & in this political climate (TERF island), is likely to outlast the NHS gender clinics themselves. Private is still an option for both of these branches of healthcare, but it's expensive for sure.

Damn, you sure showed me the light... Do you not realise how self-righteous this sounds?

I guess being against genocide is just being one of the sheeple.

Yep. Also calling it the“Israel-Hamas war” is propaganda. Makes it sound like the only people dying in Palestine are Hamas soldiers, which is obviously nowhere near the truth.

Centrists are literally just anti-opinion and spineless.

Free Palestine.

Ah yes, everybody has that one drawer to keep pies in.

I've come back to this after sleeping to check; has anyone figured out what the hell this means?

[-] Borger 40 points 10 months ago

What does this even mean
