  • So you believe PBS isn't verifying their sources and it just airing Israel's narrative?

    And again, do you seriously believe any sane news outlet is going to out their sources in this context? Why didn't you answer the first time I asked this? You know what you're doing-- you're pulling the Trump tactic of saying "any anonymous source saying something I don't like is lying"

    Edit: Downvotes but no replies, so I'm guessing you rubes genuinely think PBS just aired this story with zero vetting/verification. I'm sure Bibi told them to air and it and said "just trust me bro". I'm all for being critical of Israel, Netanyahu, the IDF but some of you have just gone off the deep end. Downvotes but not a single person willing to answer whether or not they think any sane news outlet would out their sources like this.

  • Sources close to the investigation said the captives had been shot in the head in the southern city of Rafah.

    Do you expect a media outlet to name its sources in a situation like this?

    Also you're more than welcome to search up the many news articles reporting in on this instead of being a smarmy little weirdo. Israel's ministry of health also confirmed that they were shot in the head, as confirmed in their autopsy. Given the fact that these people have families who will want to see their bodies, I highly doubt Israel is lying about how they were killed.

    But yeah, what's with the BS snark? So sick and tired of this Mean Girls garbage on Lemmy, it's so cringy.

  • I feel like I don't know enough about Maduro to judge him one way or the other, and I think it's too simple-minded to just settle on "America doesn't like him so he must be a man of the people" because that's an easy way to accidentally overlook all kinds of heinous shit.

    Also Maduro got ripped off. $13M for a used Dassault 900EX that's hot? Wack.

  • https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/09/01/bodies-discovered-underground-gaza-claims-israel/

    I don't have any official report but most media outlets' sources all claim the hostages were shot in the head.

    Edit: Here since you guys are fucking babies and can't be bothered to look up news articles but somehow can be bothered to cry when someone posts a source you don't like, have a PBS link

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/netanyahu-pushes-back-against-massive-protests-over-gaza-and-hostages-no-one-will-preach-to-me

    Now I'll wait for someone to cry about that link too because it's "funded by the Biden administration" or some garbage. I swear you people are like the online equivalent of a grown ass man who can't cook but is also a picky eater.

  • I read earlier this morning that the autopsy revealed multiple headshot wounds that were obviously fatal. I agree with you on the last part-- I saw an interview last night with the brother of one of the victims and he was quite critical of Netanyahu, pretty much saying it's entirely his fault.

  • I'm bored so I'm just going to make a list:

    • Lightroom Classic (I've tried Darktable, just not for me. I take a lot of photos on my DSLR and I've been using Lightroom since 2015 so for me it's worth eating the awful monthly subscription that I split with someone else.)
    • Anki (flashcard app, very popular among med school students and folks trying to learn new languages. Open source and tons of useful decks available. I've aced plenty of exams thanks to Anki.)
    • Bitwarden (finally caved and got a password manager-- could not be happier)
    • CHIRP (the best for programming handheld, mobile and base station radios)
    • CrystalDiskInfo (great for checking the health of SSDs and HDDs)
    • DaVinci Resolve (love using this for video editing-- pirated copy was easy to find)
    • Deluge (great for torrenting)
    • foobar2000 (I love it for music)
    • Greenshot (useful screencapture software)
    • inSSIDer (great for wifi analysis)
    • IrfanView (very good for photo management)
    • MusicBrainz Picard (amaaaaaaaaazing god tier music management software to get all the correct metadata/album art)
    • reWASD ($7 but it's so good for no BS macro'ing of keyboard/mouse/gamepad shortcuts and profiles. I have two PCs and two mice + gamepad attached to my PC and this software is very helpful. I think the license is for life.)
    • WizTree (SSD/HDD visualization tool that is useful for figuring out what's taking up too much space on your drive)
  • Who says the Dems are clean? Most leftists I know openly acknowledge she's so far from perfect but they'd still take her over Trump.

    Are you really telling me Trump and Harris are the exact same? Like give me a break. Why is Harris 3x more popular than Trump among Muslim voters?

  • Publicly shaming someone into giving you money and justifying it by saying "it's okay, we go way back" is so tacky .

    Also Peter Thiel isn't just politically exhausted, he's financially exhausted. Far from broke but exhausted after spending untold millions in the last decade on a political investment that hasn't really panned out, thus his recent distancing from Trump & Co.
