Most of the Palestinian posts I see are fundraising posts. Seriously it seems like you’re just out there looking for what you want to complain about. There’s plenty of racism and bigotry on the fediverse if you go looking for it.

Precisely

I’ve seen plenty of posts by people asserting to be Palestinians.

Seriously all the posters I see and follow are far left and extremely pro-palestinian and are quite quick to criticize liberals, on multiple topics. Maybe you just followed a bunch of the wrong people and decided that was everybody.

The moderation and blocking on BlueSky set it apart from Twitter.

You’ve clearly not been on the platform for any appreciable length of time, if at all.

The worst is when a language formally has a disambiguating word but then speakers all just decide to not use it.

When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y’all.

My feed is currently like 2 people, plus a bunch of dead accounts from people who dipped their toe in but didn’t stay.

For me a lot of those toe dippers were subsequently found to have settled on BlueSky.

Just pay your taxes jackass.

Depends if the community came over here with me or not.

Download some stuff to your phone/tablet for “offline” viewing. Your work has decided to restrict you from doing non-work stuff on their network and that’s their right.

Here’s the whole section you’re selectively quoting

How does party affiliation work in Texas? In Texas, there are several main ways for a voter to affiliate with a party: by being accepted to vote in a party’s primary election, by taking the required oath at a party precinct convention, or by taking a party oath of affiliation generally (§§162.003, 162.006, 162.007). A voter’s affiliation with a party automatically expires at the end of each calendar year, which is December 31. (§162.010). A voter who has affiliated themselves with a party is ineligible to participate in the party affairs of another party during the same calendar year. (§§162.012, 162.013)

Emphasis added to show that there is no persistent, year-over-year affiliation (I emphasize this word because there is no party registration in Texas)

And the only way you can vote in a primary is to register with them

I have never registered with a party. There is no field for party affiliation in the online voter registration form

And the registration certificate doesn’t include a party affiliation

you can do it on the spot if you want, but once you do it, that’s it

Every primary election I’ve participated in the official who checks you in just asked which primary you want to vote in. And since voter registration in Texas does not track party affiliation you’re going to have a rough time convincing me this counts as registering with the party.

The spam you’re getting is simply because it’s public record whether you voted in any election, including which primary you voted in. But it’s not the same as other states recording your party affiliation as part of your voter registration, which Texas flat out does not do.

Texas doesn’t have party affiliation on your voter registration and we have open primaries.

We use “my side” and “your side” so it’s always correct from any perspective.

I love what Google did for recursion

And some airports are cheaper than others. My last international flight was 2x the cost to fly out of Houston (IAH) vs out of Austin. Even for the flight that went from Austin to Houston and then to the destination.

Oh shit

What a ridiculous thing to start throwing shade about. You’re there with a group and the group is spending money. I always see people just having water or soda out with a drinking group. Bars even give that out free sometimes, for a designated driver situation. If anything I would guess she has an insecurity about going out drinking at the bar and needs you to be doing the same or else she thinks it makes her look bad.
