  • The uncanny valley is a sensation of another entity being close to human, but also have the feeling they aren’t human. We have identified humans as former primates with ears in the middle parts of our heads, shortness of fur or hair, and no tail. Meaning things that aren’t natural traits for a human that an individual accepts as a normal trait, that individual could be considered uncanny, but off.

    I know there’s no sexualization of animals, but that is not a widespread belief. Many people will mentally categorize you as furries, which is also something I currently find uncomfortable, but that’s my personal problem, and they are doing nothing wrong in doing what they do. Neither are you

    Ultimately my opinion on the outside looking in is this; people who try and convince you to not have the lifestyle you do cares about you and is concerned about you not fitting into society. At that point, it’s your job to prove them wrong without losing yourself or their care. They fear that you won’t fit into current society. However current society changes all the time. Ask any minority demographic that is put into the category of “lifestyle” and I feel they’ll tell you the same.



  • Nothing. It’s election year. If Biden does something, then Harris is going to be asked to up the ante which could be criticized as a running promise that might not be followed up on and cost her points

    That’s the only credit I will give Trump. He’s not afraid to throw guarantees and promises around like they’re Halloween candy. Now him following up on them (especially that don’t benefit him or his friends) is a different story…








  • Israel is the United States’ 23rd largest trading partner while the United States is Israel’s largest trading partner; two-way trade totaled nearly $50 billion by 2023 300 American mostly technology oriented companies have set up R&D centers in Israel, whilst 650 Israeli technology companies operate in the United States. Israeli American partnerships tend to contribute to relatively niche sectors of the American economy with the effect multiplying positively toward the wider economy.

    Bilateral relations have evolved from an initial American policy of sympathy and support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in 1948, to a partnership that links a small but powerful state with a superpower attempting to balance influence against competing interests in the region, namely Russia and its allies. Some analysts maintain that Israel is a particularly strategic ally for the United States, and that relations with the former strengthen the latter’s influence in the Middle East. They argue the military foothold offered by Israel justifies the expense of American military aid, referring to Israel as “America’s aircraft carrier in the Middle East”.
