Oh man somebody better tell Hamas that after 70 years of collectively turning the other cheek the global community is finally going to give a shit about Palestine. All they have to do is just turn over the hostages with no assurance whatsoever that the bombing campaign or larger apartheid is going to end.

Of course they’re just idiots who don’t understand politics though so what do they know. Let’s all laugh at them as their homes and families and everything they know is destroyed by a reactionary, hostile force that has been looking for excuses to annihilate their entire ancestry, basically since its founding, for existing as Arabs on land that some asshole in England said belongs to Jews as a treat for surviving the holocaust rather than make the serious reforms to western society that would be required to ensure that Jewish people wouldn’t need the same type of ethnostate that Hitler was going for just to have self-determination and avoid persecution.

The fact you think that would stop this is pretty laughable.

Netanyahu has said explicitly through negotiations that he would not stop the bombardment even if the hostages were released. That’s the entire reason why the deals keep getting rejected.

Oh don’t worry I’m just horribly film illiterate

Looks like “No, you’re Spartacus”

No idea what that’s a reference to though.

I wish I had that cat. Mine is of the variety that one day (I think she got a UTI and that created an association between the box and pain) decided that she will not pee in a box where she can see poo and will instead elect to pee next to the box. Sometimes even if it’s clean she won’t use it.

I finally had to invest in reusable pee pads for her after going through a pack of 50 disposables with no consistent correction in behavior. I also got a sifting wood pellet box for easier maintenance and a silica crystal box in another room for good measure. And line the inappropriate areas she wants to pee on with tin foil so she gets the message that it’s not a good place to do that. And a big ol gallon of anti icky poo for whatever falls through the cracks.

She’s getting better since I tightened up the tin foil boundary though!

If that’s what you want to believe then I will not be the one to stop you :)

Looks like a copy/paste bot. These have been around for a while. It’s a copy of someone else’s comment on the video.

Given lawmakers that understand how the internet works, I think it would be. To me this isn’t any different than a handful of years back when ISPs were throttling websites to give an advantage to the certain ones that paid them to work faster.

I’d argue they need to fuck up less than the alternative means of transport that we could be transitioning to if we weren’t so dead-set on being car dependent. So dead-set, in fact, that we are allowing ourselves to be made complacent; by billion-dollar companies that peddle entirely new technology to excuse the death and destruction to our environment and social fabric that they’ve wrought upon us and continue to perpetuate; instead of us demanding new iterations of the old, safer, more affordable, more efficient, but unfortunately less profitable tech that our country sold out to those same monied interests for them to dismantle.

Walmart did this with their wifi recently, you have to enter an email to get access. Of course it makes sense that mobile data doesn’t really work inside a giant steel warehouse, but I can’t seem to recall not having any mobile data signal at all until my last walmart visit.

I used to keep to myself and look up the location of the item I was looking for online. If they want me to bother a floor person for it though, doing that is highly preferable to giving walmart my email to sell along with any information they can extrapolate from my usage of their network.

Also, why the focus on rich and middle class? Is the vast majority of america not “lower”/working class? Edit: it seems like the entire conclusion of the study is based on the influence that money has in politics.

One thing that does have an influence? Money. While the opinions of the bottom 90% of income earners in America have a “statistically non-significant impact,” economic elites, business interests, and people who can afford lobbyists still carry major influence.

Of course if you focus only on people with money then you will come up with a conflicting result… so yeah. I also feel like I am missing something here.

We are actively being held back by companies catering exclusively to the lowest common denominator.

Idk maybe I was never informed on how the fundamentals I learned in college applied to an entire electrical grid and the implications I would need to understand if I were to hypothetically own a home some day. Would have been nice if you started out by explaining this instead of insulting my intelligence but maybe that’s just not how we operate here. Edit: The only surges I had heard of happening thus far were from power returning after an outage, and I’ve never experienced one afaik.

Yep. Happens a few times yearly for me here in the midwest, in every place I’ve ever lived, usually after a storm knocks out a power line or a transformer blows. It’s generally not for longer than a day or two but a direct lightning strike did knock it out once for like a week. Given, my state ranks pretty low for electrical grid reliability.

Our power companies, being privatized, have very little incentive to invest in their infrastructure until it’s already on its last legs and they can’t avoid it anymore. So they invest in politicians that let them put it off for as long as possible instead :)

What was it they said about capitalism breeding innovation?

lol. My bachelor of science in electrical engineering begs to differ but go off I guess.

If you’re just watching movies and tv I highly recommend just grabbing one of the streaming sites from the masterlist. Use a good ad blocker and you’re golden.

Apparently around 2012 she was on the street and had lost custody of her children. Anyways, for anyone else curious, heres a french cable network’s news site that shared it for some reason.

Yeah, obviously reactionary just means anything I personally disagree with. Duh.

Finally learned what DFSS actually means rather than just a breakdown pf the fucking acronym lol
