I’ve been getting the Samsung ‘plus’ models several years after they come out for a couple hundred bucks and still can’t find a reason to upgrade from the S10+

New phones are way too expensive for a better camera and marginally faster apps, which would be entirely out matched by a dedicated camera at the same price.

Surprise surprise, I also drive an old ranger that has aux but no Bluetooth so everything works out

I am not sure what point you are trying to make, or how it relates to my comment/the article?

Even if we’re talking about someone who simply lacks basic or any morals, that would make them even more susceptible to Greed.

Especially when using a system specifically designed to provide them with vulnerable people who are mostly hidden from public and given less wages and rights, don’t know local laws, and are incredibly desperate.

What a convenient coincidence, heartless Greed finds itself flush with unlimited desperate workers. Again.

Indifference is just a tool they use - the root cause is Greed.

They hate immigrants, but love slave labour. Then use immigrants “taking jobs” (what the farm owners actually want, because slaves are very profitable and locals would never do that work at that wage) to rile up the population to vote for Conservative governments, who often don’t change the influx of immigrants but who does love to lower taxes and turn a blind eye to labour abuses.

Exactly what I was thinking, this pupper was 100% chalked

You’re previous, brief, comment literally mentioned media fear mongering - apparently it was imaginary media fear mongering tied to an imaginary scenario involving millions of interactions between men and woment and only two rapes (not sure how media fear mongering ties into an imagined hypothetical.)

You are all over the road bud.

I’m saying that it’s not media that’s brainwashed women into believing some Rape bogeyman exists - Imaginary scenario or not.

It’s that every single woman personally knows someone(s) who has been raped/roofied/sex assaulted/groped etc. and they don’t need media hype to come to the conclusion that being raped in any environment is always a possibility. This is a very sad fact that women live with every single day.

Not sure how you perceived that as an accusation that you don’t believe in Rape

Most of the “fearmongering” is actually women talking about their experiences.

When media fearmongers Rape, it’s mostly by informing the public about rapists being sentenced to very light sentences, or rapists facing no jail time, or violent rapists being released.

Either that or they outright victim blame and discuss what someone was wearing, where they were, who they were with etc, basically inferring that if she was safely at home under a man’s protection, it wouldn’t be possible for her to be raped - so look at all the safety she threw away to be reckless (outside without a male partner) and have fun (literally existing while being a woman walking sex organ waiting to be claimed).

Been using this often since you originally posted it!

Love gif style porn and this is one of the best ways to mow through them.

I’m pretty much a monkey who’s too distracted by tits but is there any features/tips for using it I may have missed in pre-nut fog?

This is the first genuine aneurysmposting type content I’ve seen on Lemmy, congratulations!

Good luck with reality, gonna be tricky if it’s filled with conspiracy and mental illness

I’m not well versed in what is happening at specific campuses across the US - but if people not associated with the school (anyone not current students/Alumni) are protesting on Private property, the school is well within their rights to have trespassers removed.

Students should be allowed to peacefully protest on school grounds, or they can join non students protest that is off campus.

I’m not sure what the answer to Israel//Palestine is, but the US is absolutely directly funding and assisting in a genocide while publicly almost maybe finger wagging Netanyahu.

I would love to see North Americans actually tuck in to protest and figure out how to actually make them work. There’s so much that needs to change but never will until actual consequences come for those responsible.

Government/police insist on having basically unlimited ability to spy on people within the US, and then maybe catch a part of one operation after collecting heaps of evidence over months/years with tons of victims irrevocably harmed - and eventually a few main people get like 3-5 years in prison on a plea deal.

I get the whole “building a case” thing, but letting multiple children get abused, while other sickos learn the ropes to eventually “get enough evidence” so a few people can plead guilty for a comparatively light prison sentences is absurd. Shut anything about it down immediately. Even if it doesn’t go to trial/conviction I’m sure the police have creative capacities to deal with child abusers outside of prison.

And people still think sex education in school is about teaching children how to preform sex acts, instead of helping them avoid predators.

China also gets to ramp up war economies for Taiwan

Fully agree, the limited graphics really muted the effects and they became more prominent/ubiquitous as systems improved

But I also felt more connected and immersed with the muted effects stories despite the limited graphics and detail

Not sure how hot this take is, but ever since FFX I have found the FF series leaning heavily into the J part of JRPG

So we get epic characters with world ending powers doing trope-y anime poses and gestures, or get childish priorities and I find it negatively affecting immersion (for me anyhow).

The last “new” final fantasy I’ve played is 13, and some of 13II (as well as rebirth, which I still loved) so I’m not exactly caught up on current FF universes either.

FF1-9 all felt more neutral in that they were people acting to save the world and helping people along the way, whereas more modern final fantasy games seem to have this sweetie goofy cotton candy innocence elements that really clash with underlying story/universe. Like I’m watching elementary school Anime mashed into an adult FF universe.

I’d love for the FF7 remake series to shift to a much darker, gritty, adult tone (chocobos can still be happy tho, love those guys)

Obviously more US aid is crucial, and it’s recent absence is clearly having negative consequences in Ukraine.

If there is a silver lining, it’s that all of Europe is finally getting it’s military shit sorted out.

Russia is settling into it’s war economy and the rest of Europe has decades of dust to shake off it’s military capabilities.

Obviously NATO and individual European counties aren’t fully engaged in war like Ukraine is, but the resources consumed by war is proving just how under prepared Europe is for a long campaign.

Hated callisto protocol. I wound up just playing on easy so I could get through it as fast as possible.

The atmosphere was pretty good, but the entire game annoyed me from beginning to end.

The best way to tell if it’s a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.

They’ve lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.

So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it’s a false flag.

If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it’s probably real.

Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?

I have no problems with anyone who doesn’t force or coerce their beliefs on anyone else

Regardless of your personal actions or beliefs, you are being lumped in with extremists. If that confuses you because you personally feel innocent, there is an expression that goes something like

“If there are 9 people at a table and a Nazi sits and eats with them, there are 10 Nazis as the table.”

Tolerating or being indifferent to abhorrent behaviour is the same as rewarding/endorsing abhorrent behaviour.

As for the definition of evangelicals, there’s the literal definition

“Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm, ˌɛvæn-, -ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the centrality of sharing the “good news” of Christianity, being “born again” in which an individual experiences personal conversion, as authoritatively guided by the Bible, God’s revelation to humanity.[1][2][3][4][5] The word evangelical comes from the Greek word for “good news” (euangelion).[6]”

And then there is the applied practice of evangelicals who spend considerable wealth influencing politics to turn America (and the world) into a theocratic state with the goal of converting everyone and doing away with anyone who resists their goals.

They are uncompromising because they believe they act on God’s will giving them unquestionable holy authority to act as they see fit as long as it pushes their narrative and goals.

It’s not my job to educate you on your own religion, if you’re lost as to why anyone would despise evangelicals even though “they’re not all like that” that is up to you to reconcile.

There might be a subtle difference between a front lines Nazi and Hitler on the ‘innocence scale’ if you want to split hairs, but to everyone outside that group, a Nazi is a Nazi (who were all essentially evangelicals as well, surprise surprises)

if you don’t believe me, here’s something to read since you like proof/evidence so much, but I doubt you’ll ever challenge your own beliefs.

You can absolutely explain the ending.

It’s just that you will also be wrong

That’s because it is the closest thing to fascism. Especially when religion bleeds into politics.

Don’t be shocked that your faith of complete, uncompromising, control of human behaviour based on a collective, personal conclusion that you have all the answers to everything is perceived for what it is.

Believe whatever you want in your own head, and live your life according to whatever belief system you want. The second you try to extend the control you place on yourself to anyone else is the line between faith and fascism

If you don’t believe in abortions? Fine.

If you believe others should follow your example? Fine.

If you force others to follow your idealogies through control of legal/political systems? not fine

Y’all never seem to understand, nobody cares what you do as long as you keep self imposed control to yourself. But apparently the whole point is to “spread the love” through non-optional participation, which is what makes you so dangerous.

If your faith really was all that goodness you claim, people would actually want to join! But they don’t. So you force them. Jesus would be so proud ❤️
