That and ring doorbells being used as a big data harvesting point for the police.
The surveillance culture we have is so normalized now people don’t even care that their security camera is more of a corporate livestream then a secure loop. But hey, how else an I gonna pust pictures of the guy stealing my 3rd Amazon package of the day.
Tucker Carlson don’t got that Seth Rogan build type for a mission like that…
It’s the opposite. The pool of young people to pull from is smaller everyday.
In this regard, Russia has the advantage where they can just keep throwing more and more bodies into the war without major unrest. Luckily Wagner is gone, as they had the human wave then special forces combo down to a science, but the problem of Russia having exponentially more manpower at their disposal remains unless they begin drafting all Women between ages 18 - 60. Which will likely never happen.

" Siding with Yemen " is a bit rich. The writing is on the wall for the current regional war to expand into a proper world war. They don’t want their infrastructure, be it shipping or oil related to be hit by missles.
It’s one thing to carry out an air campaign halfway across the earth where your enemy cannot reach your homeland. It’s a bit different when the war is in your backyard and not on the television.
Same reason why Saudi Arabia is so squeamish about this whole air raid campaign. Both nations host American bases and troops. They are the logical first targets for the Houthi’s to attack. Signing off on this would be stepping foot into the ring as a meatshield, with little to gain from this charade.
Yemen has already been bombed back into the stone ages, infrastructure wise. More airstrikes will not break them.
As much as we let them keep making.
Who knew that firing the most loyal, dedicated, competent and hardworking employees would have this result?
I was told Elon’s shitposting would resolve wokeness and make twitter great again.
Tiktok also didn’t censor the major protests in France like Facebook and Twitter did at the time.
Theres only a handful of social media outlets. Tik tok is just not suppressing the Pro Palestine content like Western owned media outlets have been.
We speak lots of " free speech " in the West, but look how quick, German, British, American, Canadian government and media spheres are united in calling Palestine protestors terrorists and supporting hamas.
Its just our lack of free speech being exposed when it goes against the powers that be.
Yes. Theres plenty of Jewish activitsts blocking Isreali consulates and weapons factories in the West. There is also anti war jews in Israel. There are plenty of bloodthirsty, pro war Christian zionists in the West but the anti Christian narrative isint at play here despite they in our political class supporting this fully.
Promoting antisemitism will just make it harder for those people to meaningfully act in solidairty.
" We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. "
Not to mention all the destruction of farms, the poisoning of water sources, all the destroyed vehicles and rotting corpses of men and animals alike laid everywhere.
They will be calling this the 2nd Nakba. Not only is it a massacre of the people, the Palestinians last remaining lands have been salted. Gaza looks like Stalingrad.
It is an entirely man made disaster. Or state made disaster if you will.
Haha fair enough. For what its worth they had iPhone 4’s and Ipod touches. It was close to a decade ago then it was to yesterday.
Yup. I remeber the girls at school listening to bootlegged YouTube videos from shitty rip off apps from the appstore lol. Before revanced, there was vanced, after revanced, a new Phoenix will emerge. The people will it.
I married a smoke show I met on Bumble.
I gotta be real: you’re all doing it wrong.
My ex was on bumble and she had over 4000+ likes. She was too anxious to even open the app by the time we had met. I deleted it for her.
You can have the greatest profile in the world as a dude, it just dosent matter statistically speaking if you’re not perceived as attractive/ have shitty photos.
If you married a smokeshow you met off of bumble, you could have probably had the same or better luck in real life. I’m not saying boo hoo poor boys but at the same time most of the guys desperately hoping for a connection on these apps won’t be able to get a date. Guys outnumber women on these apps something like 4 - 1.
The monetization of the apps are no good. I’m not agaisnt online dating but at the same time the status quo is pretty shitty, espcially if you fall into categories of people who are viewed as less desirable on these apps; ie Asian men and Black women.
UV disinfectant lights were likely used by ignorant, frugal event lighting staff.
That’s some really low tier event planning. That would be like if you went paintballing and the owner included a few live hand grenades amongst the paint ones. It’s almost impressive how badly they fucked up.
Atleast the onion writers get a break from writing headlines. Job is done for em already.
Latin America is just ahead of the curve. In the West we will continue protesting and putting pressure on our politicans like the world did to the West when it supported aparthied South Africa.
Keep pretending as if the rest of the world’s opnions don’t matter. You will be even more enraged and shocked as the walls continue to come down on this genocide perpetuating government. Netanyahu must go!
Of course not, but Biden admin is panicking because if the Israeli’s keep this going eventually the de facto regional war that is going on will become a de jure one.
They are pretty much begging Isreal to not erode any more of their legitimacy in the middle east and globally. It is not working.
For sure, conscription in of itself is criminal but like the USA during Vietnam, poor people,ethnic minorities and developmentally disabled men are disproportionately grabbed off the streets and litteraly forced into service.
The men in Moscow and St Petersburg seem to still have avoided such issiues this deep into the war.
Maybe conscription is the wrong word to use, and more like state sponsored cleansing of " undesirables." Certainly helped the state reduce spending on male prison populations…
Best I can offer is another withdrawal from Afghanistan tier retreat.
I agree. I’m a " reddit refugee " so to speak but I think people here are jumping the gun with their expectations. Of course, Lemmy is not brand new but the actual influx of users seems to be pretty recent.
It took years for reddit to really become a more diverse site that actually appealed to a wider demographic then just tech nerds and communists, which from what I can understand is more or less what lemmy was comprised of before the huge uptick in migration here lol.
Anyways I do think people need to cool it with their expectations. More and better moderating tools being needed is in no way limited to just Lemmy either. Mastodon also has problems with admins fucking with whole instances, or just outright disappearing and leaving the ship without a captain.
Its the teething stages of the fediverse. For what its worth, its fucking amazing thats something as decentralized is getting this much play anyways.
The more people that come along and the more diversity in communties will eventually make the fediverse a better and more useful place then reddit was. It will take some time though, and a much large user base. It will come though.
Must not have spent much time in crypto spaces. I would say they trend along the lines of Joe Rogan fans, but they are definitely more " bro libertarian " then leftist if anything.
There are some leftists who are into crypto currencies, but by and large most of the crypto space is dominated by anti game stop bois,investors, business moguls, drug dealers and small business owners.
Not exactly a huge overlap with leftist ideals there.
The classic 4chan cars for under 5K chart still largely holds up today.
Take it with a grain of salt and perhaps bump the years up by a decade or so.
Personally i would take a 20 year old car with low milage that still has solid saftey features and a comfortable interior vs a newer car with better technology, but arguably worse saftey features and undoubtedly worse privacy.
Not to mention it’s going to be cheaper to break some shit on an old car vs a brand new one that’s loaded with sensors and computers. My 2 cents anyways.
