Mexico is heading towards its most violent election ever, with 30 candidates murdered, 77 threatened and 11 kidnapped (english.elpais.com)

More than 170 attacks have been committed against politicians in the lead-up to the June elections. This violence has put campaigns under tension and is sowing doubts about governability in several regions. Specialists warn that the line between the Mexican state and organized crime is increasingly blurred...

Boiglenoight,

True story: Rambo was pivotal in helping the Mujahideen repel the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. They would later become Al Qaeda.

Boiglenoight,

Is this worth playing today?

Boiglenoight,

From my childhood they say. God I’m old.

Boiglenoight,

Thank you (and thanks to everyone else who replied). I’m going to give this a shot.

[UNRWA Defunding vs Genocide] Worse Than You Can Imagine - Craig Murray (www.craigmurray.org.uk)

The coordinated decision of the Western nations to fast track famine by stopping UNRWA funding was announced within an hour, following the ICJ ruling that Gazans were at immediate risk of genocide, and drove from the media headlines the adverse ruling against Israel.

Boiglenoight,

“Biden fully supports the genocide.”

This disqualified anything this person had to say. If you believe this, you’re either a confused person or seeking to sow discord.

Boiglenoight,

It’s an absurd thing to say. I understand (and agree) that the U.S. should do more to stop Israel. In fact, I am personally for ceasing all aid to them until they get their country under control. However, I’m not a politician and can make such statements from the convenience of my own home without consequence. I’m not a leader of a democratic nation that itself sits on a knife’s edge between gridlocked governance and full on autocracy. Biden no doubt is weighing the next election in his decision making because he has to. The wrong choice will land a maniac back in the White House. To say he supports genocide is just provocateur nonsense.

Boiglenoight,

Crazy people do this. It’s a gender neutral issue. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. Best you can do is not respond anymore than necessary with hope they’ll move on to the next person.

Boiglenoight,

It’s also a way to pay for providing a service. We hate it, but short of everyone paying for YouTube, it’s how they make their money.

Now double dipping is where things get questionable. If you pay for a video service AND they run ads. /Ripley flaming eggsacs

Boiglenoight,

I can skip through podcast ads with ease.

Boiglenoight,

I feel like that’s where it’s headed. Doesn’t matter what we’re talking about. A shining exception is private company Valve, which has proven time and again that it’s a model for how to treat customers.

Boiglenoight,

Just saying people don’t complain about ads in podcasts because they’re skippable.

Boiglenoight,

I like Gemini. It’s easily the best AI for rewriting things for social media that reflects my intent while sounding somewhat like me.

Boiglenoight,

Ok…just saying, they may be fretting about competition, particularly in the AI business, and I’m just sharing 2 cents about what they’re doing. It really is better than ChatGPT/Co-pilot for this kind of thing imo.

But people can’t have opinions without others getting rude or butthurt about something. 🤣

Boiglenoight,

How dare you call me a child—

Boiglenoight,

Ideal would be a playlist you build and hit randomize. You pay for it. No commercials. I don’t think there’s a service that does this…

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way....

Boiglenoight,

Ten was great. Yield was ok. Vitalogy was…bugs bugs bugs. Just keeps getting stranger.

Boiglenoight,

Going to throw it on while I do some work.

Boiglenoight,

Agreed. Please Don’t Destroy is pretty good though.

Boiglenoight,

I played a lot of Guardian Heroes, Sega Rally, and X-Men: Children of the Atom.

Boiglenoight,

Your kids? 😅

Boiglenoight, (edited )

That’s true too. Thinking about kids less than say, 15, watching this show is what makes me wonder. The level of violence is shocking to me and I’m over the hill. Can’t imagine how it might hit to someone in their formative years.

Boiglenoight,

Israel is killing an entire group of people for the actions of a few. In the short term they will be demonized, over generations people may say what choice did they have if not forget what happened altogether.

Boiglenoight,

Just say they. Not he/she. They. End of argument.
