Help me get my wife and children out of Gaza

Please donate if you can and reblog and signal boost this! Every penny counts!

Basil moved away from his wife Sanaa Jiuda, and his four children, Fatma(15 years old, Ahmed(13 years old), Yazan(10 years old) and Selaa(7 years old) to work outside of Gaza.

His wife and children fled to Rafah and lived in a tent within a refugee camp made up of hundreds of tents.

They are still in that tent, threatened by great danger.

Throughout all of this, Basil has tried to obtain papers for them to move in, but he does not have enough money to do so.

His family consists of 5 people, his wife and four children, and there is needed 15,000 US Dollars for each person, which includes the cost of renting a house for them, their living costs and the price of travel tickets.

Taken directly from the Gofundme:

How will I use the money?

The amount I would like to receive will enable me to cover the costs of their exit from Gaza, in addition to the costs of their stay in Egypt for a period of no less than 6 months, so that I can arrange the documents required to travel to me, in addition to the costs of airline tickets for their arrival to me ,

List Details:

1. We need $7,000 per person, which is a fee paid by each person to be allowed to leave Gaza

7000*5=35,000 Canadian dollars.

2. The cost of renting a house and the cost of living in Egypt for 6 months

6*3000=18000 Canadian dollars

3. Costs of travel tickets to Canada

5 * 2000 = 10,000 Canadian dollars

4.The cost of renting a house and the cost of living in Canada for 6 months

6*7000=42000 Canadian dollars.

Total amount: 105000 Canadian dollars

How will the amount be sent to my family?

The amount will be send directly in my wife’s name using Western union International Company so that she can pay the necessary costs for their exit from Gaza. The rest of the amount will remain with her to cover the expenses of renting an apartment in Egypt in addition to covering living expenses for her and the four children. The last part of the amount will be allocated to purchasing the travel tickets that will transport them. To me .

I hate seeing tweets like this because they all present the issue as "privileged cis people getting a taste of the trans experience and wanting out" instead of "intersex people being discriminated against" because the latter is what's actually happening. you cannot write a tweet like this and fail to acknowledge that these people are cis, yes, but they are also intersex and are being discriminated against because they are intersex.

intersex people and trans people should be holding hands on this issue and fighting for each other but perisex trans people continually erase intersex cis people from the discussion.

I'm literally begging y'all to use the word "intersex" when talking about this

Your first mistake in art is thinking you draw men and women inherently differently

I'm serious, this is genuinely not a joke. There's no wrong way to do art but you do make a mistake when you think that you draw men and women differently without any overlap or gray area, like they're two opposites and that's how they'll always be FOREVER. Treating two genders as vastly different is absolutely the incorrect way to think about things and considering how anatomy is one of the first things you practice when you start drawing human or human adjacent characters, it becomes harder and harder to unlearn as time goes on

When learning to draw, you need to understand that there's more body types for ALL genders than just "flat as a board with no hips" and "slightly thinner waist with larger chest"

I think it's a common misconception that domesticating animals is somewhat like enslaving them. It really is more of a symbiotic relationship. No wild animal would have willingly put up with early humans if they didn't get something out of it. Wolves wouldn't have stayed with us and become dogs if they weren't getting food and safety out of it. Many large herbivores that are now domesticated could and would have easily trampled their early human captors or broken their enclosures open if they didn't have a reason to stay. Sometimes individual animals still do if we don't give them what they need.

The animals that have stayed with us for thousands of years have evolved to cooperate with us better. Dogs have additional facial muscles around their eyes that wolves lack in order to mimic human facial expressions. Sheep grow their wool perpetually while their wild counterparts don't because a bigger fleece means they're more likely to be allowed to breed and be kept around. Domestic dairy cows produce much more milk than wild bovine species and domestic hens lay more eggs. Do you know how energy costly producing eggs or milk is for an animal? It's pretty intense! They wouldn't be able to do that if we hadn't given them the food and safety from predators and the elements to.

And we really need to show these animals respect and gratitude for what they give us by taking excellent care of them. They gave up a lot to be with us, often including the means to take care of themselves in the wild. That's a huge reason why I'm not against using animal products, but I hate factory farming. They are still living, breathing creatures with needs and feelings. They deserve a comfortable life and, when the time comes, a humane death.

today in "google AI is fucking useless because it hallucinates things that never happened", i bought a couple CVS thermometers that have both been acting up, tried to search if there had been a problem with the whole product line:

there is no record of this product recall. it did not happen. the date "feb 8 2024" is the date someone listed a thermometer for sale on ebay.

Google's trying to save you the time spent clicking on a site full of AI-generated SEO garbage by presenting the AI-generated garbage right up front! Such efficiency.

I was under the impression that we did know why: AI isn't actually a brain and can't actually think or understand information, so it has no concept of something being true or not, or what markers indicate truth or falsity, or how to synthesize information. It's putting a bunch of words in a jar, shaking the jar, and then dumping it out, and acting like that means the jar knows how to talk.

Like, in this case, OP asked for information about a recall. The AI knows that, throughout the entire internet, the word "recall" usually is surrounded by information like a date or a number, so it gives you a date and a number. It doesn't know what a date is or what it's for or what it means. (It also apparently doesn't know the difference between "recall" as in "removing a dangerous product from the shelves" and "recall" as in "remembering," since it smooshes the two together)

what's that thing again that you can put into ublock that blocks all the ai results from google?

On Github is The Huge AI Blocklist for UblockOrigin. You can import it, the linked ReadMe gives a description on howto.

[ID mostly by @homunculusalphonse : A photo of the Google search results for the phrase "cvs thermometers recall": "On February 8, 2024, CVS Health recalled its rigid tip digital thermometer with memory recall and fever alarm. The thermometers have a memory recall feature that stores the previous temperature. The item number for the recall is 375235991489." Both the links attached to this text are from eBay and Pinterest. This module does say "AI overviews are experimental", in much smaller font. /End ID]

The uBlockOrigin AI blocklist above is super helpful y’all.

You see it's very a complicated issue because. If you tell a trans girl she's trans it might save her life. but if you ever imply a cis guy is trans it might make him uncomfortable. I am very smart.

The Pascal's wager equivalent here is that all cis men should be force femmed and all cis women should be enmasculated.

I don't think many people realize how much they've been turned into a bunch of casually cynical jerks.

Someone may come to their parents and say "I want to write a book" and their parents will say "it's really hard to get published".

Someone might confide in their sibling and say "I want to sell my art on "x" platform" and that sibling will say "do you know how many people you'd be competing with? Do you know how many shops are even on that platform?"

I know a kid who once told his best friend "I think I wanna start a dnd podcast" and the friend was like "do you know what the word "oversaturation" means?"

Personally, I don't know why any of that matters? And even if it did, perhaps your response should be "Do it! Do it and see where it goes!"

Sounds like a joke but as a software developer, this is a really big issue

One that's made much worse with the existence of Electron

Nowadays, most apps are just Google Chrome masked to run a web page that acts like a app, and keeps hogging resources

Wanna know why the "minimum memory requirement" has been steadily growing like crazy? Thank Electron for that

When we get to a point where trans women are actually at least somewhat accepted, I hope you guys won't expect us to forgive you, right? When you guys say "yeah I used to hate trans women but it was how the times were haha" I hope you're not going to expect that to be a good excuse. I hope you don't expect us to forgive your transmisogyny because it wasn't overt "kill all trans women" type shit either. I hope you're not going to expect us to forget all this shit. I won't.

This post seems to be confusing a lot of you, so how about I explain it more clearly: you fuckers took your side against us when we needed allies the most. When we were getting legislated out of public spaces. When we were getting attacked from all sides. When it was the most convenient and socially acceptable to hate us. You ignored us, you argued against even the use of terms to discuss transmisogyny, you treated us like disposable sex objects. You mocked us and participated in our social ostracization.

When suddenly the path of least resistance isn't to be outwardly transmisogynistic, when it becomes socially unacceptable to despise us in public, you will not be forgiven for past actions because suddenly it's more inconvenient to act like that now.

You picked your side when it mattered the most.
