The housing market is fucked, economic mobility is fucked, the climate is fucked. They've already lost to the man, what else do they have to lose?

Smh, warehouse people always trying to keep things in boxes

I feel like when I was growing up, you just were in a fairly coarse bucket as your label with the assumption that people could have very different preferences within there.

The way I would have characterized what you described as being bi because you are interested in both genders' genitalia, but had a preference for feminine body types.

The cake is a poop

How do you exit vim, and more importantly why would you even want to exit vim?

Good answer.

He brought shareholders value by getting people pumped to buy the car.

From the perspective of his daughter who knew George Carlin personally, I can see how this would be disturbing. It's as if someone strung up a dead relative like a puppet and put on a show.

I think in more abstract terms from someone who just saw his standup, it's a fun novelty as long as they're not profiting from it or misrepresenting it.

Space colonization , I could see a colony on the moon being feasible in the next 20 years probably more akin to an oil field where it's mainly people extracting minerals and not recreational.

Oh no, my local community events aren't announced on Lemmy, therefore I should just never interact with people in my town and spend more time browsing lemmy.

If you only allow all or nothing adopters, you're going to end up with nothing.

Many sites I visit are not because I like the design of the site, but that I like the content that the users it has attracted have uploaded. Sure, there's YouTube alternatives, but they're not a replacement for the scale of YouTube. There's still a few subreddits I read because they don't have a good lemmy alternative.

Dude, I couldn't take one cat.

Yeah, for my own sanity I limit how deep I dive into some of this. I don't think you need to dive super deep though to say the standard for bombing civilian infrastructure is higher than bombing military installations and what Israel has bombed are civilian sreas.

I get that Hamas is coopting a lot of civic locations like schools and hospitals, but that doesn't give you carte blanche to raze cities.

We support Israel is more ways than just military assistance, but even there paying for the Iron Dome just frees up money to spend elsewhere. It's not like the only effect of our money is building this defensive capacity, it's all the things enabled by Israel having gotten this infrastructure subsidized.

Some of it, yes. Along with training. Either way, the only skin in the game I have regarding what Hamas does is as a human being who condemns terrorism against Israelis and the oppression of Gazans, but I'm not materially supporting it.

With Israel my money is directly funding their weapons systems. I think it's reasonable to demand that they not violate the Geneva convention and if they are going to bomb hospitals and refugee camps they at least have reliable evidence gathered beforehand that doing so will achieve military objectives of an appropriate magnitude that warrants it.

In my experience, people I interact with personally aren't citing Hamas propaganda as if it were fact, they give it the appropriate level of skepticism. They don't do that with IDF press releases or propaganda from the Israeli government so it is worth pointing out that all governments and affiliated news outlets put out biased reporting during war time.

Also, as a US taxpayer, my money is funding bombs being dropped on Gaza, they didn't fund Hamas' improvised rockets. Those were cobbled together using material stolen from the people of Gaza. As a result, I expect honest accountability of how those weapons are used.

This guy is from the Congress Party, the current ruling party is BJP who is the nationalist party that are the ones pushing for Hindu nationalism.

I think the problem is it feels like he's doing political damage control. It's better than nothing, but doesn't give me any renewed hope in the administration regaining any kind of moral authority in this conflict.

I mean, it's in bad taste to involve real people, especially to post their pictures, in erotic fanfic, but if he never harmed or threatened anyone I don't think that warrants more than taking things down and making and an apology to the people involved.

I certainly wouldn't lump that in with people who actively harm people and maliciously invade people's privacy.

There was never a mask

This is literally what the UN secretary general was referring to when he said the Hamas attacks didn't happen in a vacuum. I don't think the attacks were justified or even effective but it wasn't some random act, the growth of Hamas comes from Israeli government backed oppression of Palestinians which itself comes after failed peace talks so on and so forth until the birth of civilization (though you could argue until the late 1940s).
