Should… should…. we tell them that hours worked doesn’t equate to productivity?

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen and read Blinken talk about “concrete plans” for the past couple of weeks already. Where are these plans? Where are the discussions around formalizing them with UN’s backing?

Most importantly, what sort of “concrete plan” does not involve a ceasefire and a hostage exchange with Israel on board? Let’s start there.

Right? We strongly condem Israel for Palestinian lives.

Also, here’s billions more to keep it going.

I really ought to call you a fucking idiot, but you’ve probably heard that all your life, so no sense for me to keep hammering it home.

I’m all ears for the genius take you have but being the fucking idiot you are, you’re probably going to have a stroke trying to put it down into words.

But sure, keep laughing. It’s likely good for your smooth brain.

The response people expect from his is an immediate ceasefire which he still has failed to accomplish. Not only that, he has failed to outright counter the narrative that Palestine = Hamas that some news outlets are spewing and failed to approach the issue with neutrality. Blanket support for Israel has made him (and the US) complicit in a genocide.

People in his admin have quit over his stance and are apparently furious with how he’s positioned the US in this “war”. He/his admin also criticized Rashid Tlaib for speaking in favor of Palestine which caused dems and republicans to censure her.

Basically, fuck Biden. And also, we’re fucked in 2024 at the hands of yet another geriatric asshole incapable of forming a coherent sentence, chose which flavor (D or R) you want.

The irony of you calling me “stupid” without understanding how an elected President, admin and political party can influence domestic and foreign policy….

Lol.

That’s what I’ve been telling my friends and myself but hard to keep perspective when my congressman went to Israel to “show support for Israel’s defense” and not a single thought or word to these dead kids.

Thanks for the kind words though.

My heart just sank reading the headline… fuck.

Fuck Biden and the rest of the US congress. Bunch of spineless assholes and cowards.

What father/brother/kid isn’t going to join Hamas if they lose their families to these unforgivable acts.

Or human rights.

Systemic prejudices showing up in datasets causing generative systems to spew biased output? Gasp.. say it isn’t so?

I’m not sure why this is surprising anymore. This is literally expected behavior unless we get our shit together and get a grip on these systemic problems. The rest of it all is just patch work and bandages.

Democracy has been dead for the GOP. This is just authoritarianism in action under the guise of democracy. Fucking crooks.

Thank you!

Any… ahem… any quick guides to get setup and started? Trying not to end up in rabbit holes before I get going.

Take away common features (4K and HDR) from an already existing plan to squeeze out $4 from users at the cost of good-will and subscribers, which is the inverse of increases in subscriber count, which is what matters most to a streaming service along with content.

That's some smooth brain Exec MBA product strategy right there.

Exhibit a: Jesse Watters, is what we like to refer to as a stupid fuck.

“That’s cool and all but do you condemn Hamas though?”

/s

Try browsing Reddit on this issue. Holy hell are bots gone all insane justifying that “Hamas needs to be crushed” on any civilian death. It’s a fascinating case study on how perceptions and narratives can be morphed and controlled.

Right? The normalization of occupation and stealing land in this day and age… it’s downright insanity.

And then people wonder why organizations like Hamas exist…

US: “Yeah, if you could land grab and displace people without making a massive fuss and killings, that would be super cool…”

Death toll releases

Biden: No, that can’t be right. Israel is merely “defending itself”

Death with names of victims releases

Biden: Sticks head in sand and yells gibberish

You see why neutral parties concerned for human life have been calling for a ceasefire now? Or do you want more blood on your hands? How children are enough? 1000? 2000? 5000?

Jfc, this is depressing…
