Hamas rips up pipe to make rockets, and steals construction supplies to make tunnels.
The pipe and supplies that are supposed to help Palestinians live and survive without disease.
So that Hamas can apply pressure to ISRAEL for the Palestinian conditions?
Myself and literally everyone I know want to support the Palestinians. And it’s impossible to support them while Hamas (or another jihadist organization) is there.
It’s a circle, not a line. Far left and far right end up meeting in the middle.
Lemmy only has the information that I give it.
And it demands fairly little information.
I’ll take that in exchange for nobody privately owning as much of my shit as they can get their filthy hands on.
They can’t charge their REAL customers, the ad purchasers, as much without the ads being “targeted”.
$14 is unrealistic and will never be paid, but it means that it’s an option… So I’m guessing that people will be able to “opt in” to a free version with targeted ads… This whole thing is probably just a workaround.
I too want to see the completion of George’s masterpiece,

I’m a cynic and I find myself pretty perpetually expecting the worse from humanity.
But sometimes we really pull it together and knock it out of the park.
I think it’s great to have high hopes, I wish I had the fortitude to stay positive more often.
My mom was complaining about some pyramid scheme get friend fell for and I explained how every business is a pyramid scheme.
You work, you produce way more value than you are paid, that money goes to paying other people and growing the business to make the shareholders rich. You aren’t rewarded for your work, generally. Somehow this is normal. The only difference with a real pyramid scheme is that they generally lie about how much you could succeed.
My wife and I are both lucky and we bought our place mortgage free because we were able to save while paying off our old place.
While making the purchase we specifically talked about how if the market crashes by 50%, we’re still better off. Because most likely every home will be similarly cheaper. And our earning potential would be similar.
The difference is that it’s hard to predict what will happen in an economic contraction like that. There would be a lot of joblessness and a lot of hardship.
If people have more energy and want to do more work for more money, offer them more money for more work or let them do other work. It’s simple.

Foley has a degenerative brain disorder. He IS dying. His quality of life will continue to deteriorate until he dies. This might be sad, but it’s just the fact. We need to be able to talk about these things.
The hospital cannot fix him. There is no acute care for his condition. It’s just a matter of where and when. And this is EXACTLY what assisted dying is for.
The only recourse the hospital has to people refusing discharge is to charge them the price of their hospital stay. It’s not coersion, it’s just consequence. It’s reality.
I’m not saying this ethicist did their job well. But without the full recording it’s hard to know what the situation was. I’ve been in the palliative ward at the local hospital and I can tell you that people fight really hard.
The alternatives, depending on how much care he needs, are long term care or hospice. Both are subsidized but if he has money saved he would have to contribute to his care and a lot of people don’t want to do that.
You’re right, that is terrible logic.
Good thing nobody but you is saying that.
That’s a far cry from “pushing” MAID.
Maid is an option, and should be an option. People need to know about it. However, there are always other options. Hospice is subsidized. Long term care is subsidized. Homecare nursing us subsidized. You just can’t stay in the hospital, because the hospital is for acute people in recovery.
There are absolutely illnesses that ruin your quality of life but don’t kill you, leaving you to suffer. Their medical system is NOT designed to care for all of everyone’s needs. It’s specifically designed to provide life saving care.
The stupid part is that if a person is so sick that they can’t care for themselves, and they get released home, they often just deteriorate and end up back in the hospital.
Their system beats our system, but it’s not perfect.
Just wait until the market stabilizes.
These aren’t GPUs in the crypto boom, they don’t produce their own profit. Stop buying from scalpers and the price will crater.
I love graphene. I wish I had taken the plunge sooner.
My first thought was that it was way too high. I haven’t had cable in… 10 years?
Edit: no, it was more like 15. Holy shit I’m old.
The ONLY acceptable apology at this point is a complete roll back and a full announcement of the direction they plan to take the company in for the next 5+ years.
They’ve absolutely lost the trust of devs, designers and hobbyists.
I can’t “picture” things in my mind, but I get pretty strong “feelings” about relative volumes, lengths, shapes, etc. As a result I can eyeball measurements pretty accurately.
When it comes to physically organizing things in space, I literally have to guess and test, and just rearrange things until they work… But, I do still get that “feeling” about how it might work.
It’s the same with empathy. If I see someone about to injur themselves, I don’t “see” it, but it definitely get a flash of feeling and I’ll wince and feel the thing.
Is that aphantasia? I didn’t even know this was a thing, but… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That’s always the conflict here, the free content on YouTube is just frequently so good. I guess I’ll just take a look for godot stuff right now and then decide.
More relevant than ever?
Kind of like Idiocracy.
Crazy People (1990)
A feel like I can’t describe it. It blows taboo and political correctness up to expose the BS in the advertising industry. It’s fun and cute and I swear nobody has seen it.
Hamas literally ran politically as MODERATES. They’ve gone full jihadist. Without democratic process to keep the structure honest no party can be trusted.
