bobthened,

wasn’t sexual but indeed very sexy in style.

Those characters have child-like facial proportions. 🧐

bobthened,

At the same time Israel was releasing Palestinian “prisoners” (largely children and largely imprisoned for petty crimes like throwing stones) they were capturing and imprisoning from the West Bank (where there is no Hamas) roughly the same number of people as they were releasing in Gaza.

bobthened,

That doesn’t really matter though. The point still stands regardless of if it’s explained by money literally disappearing into a hole or huge rounding errors and inefficiencies in their accounting systems.

They are still allowed much much more leniency with much larger amounts of money (aren’t they aren’t ever properly held to account for it) than regular people are allowed with comparatively tiny amounts of money.

bobthened,

The current charter specifically makes a point of saying that that’s not what they want though. Makes a point out of dragging a distinction between Jewish people (they don’t have a problem with) and the Zionist project (which they do have a problem with

bobthened,

That’s not the point. People aren’t saying that they’d rather have Trump in charge. The point is things will never get better if everyone keeps unquestioningly giving their votes to the Democrats regardless of how little the democrats represent their interests. The only real way most people have of making a political party change is by withholding their votes until that party changes in order to regain the votes.

bobthened,

Plenty of centrist liberals support Israel’s “war against Hamas”. US president Joe Biden and the Democratic party for example.

bobthened,

It might, but luckily DeSantis is so unlikeable and has zero charisma, that the republicans would never win a presidential election with him as the candidate.

bobthened,

The pipes on the wall are in exactly the same place on both pictures.

bobthened,

Name an alternative browser that has the same level of ability to block trackers built in.

bobthened,

bobthened

Okay, so name an extension that will provide the same level of tracker blocking as Brave does.

bobthened,

You do know that’s not what shire means, right?

Like the kind of political YouTuber that doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about.

That’s pretty accurate. She claims to be left wing, and a fan of Bernie Sanders but she frequently repeats alt-right talking points and conspiracy theories. She does a lot of that thing that a lot of right-wing online personalities do in paying lip service towards being a centrist “I MaKe FuN oF bOtH sIdEs”, but really ending up making the right look far more reasonable than the left the majority of the time. She’s also good friends with the conservative pick-me YouTuber Blaire White.

She became popular around the time of gamergate largely (imo) because she says a lot of the things those types like — makes a lot of videos ridiculing feminists etc — and is a somewhat conventionally attractive woman. So gamers^TM can convince themselves they don’t hate all women and all women don’t hate them because here’s one who agrees with them and “she [supposedly] isn’t even right wing”.

bobthened,

I do like the idea of them, same size phone takes up half the space in a pocket etc. But my current phone (that I’ve had since 2017) still works mostly fine.

I do think they’ve missed a trick by going all in on the foldable plastic display rather than two bezelless screens that folded out to look like one screen. I’m not phone designer but I think it might be more durable to not have the actual screen bending.

bobthened,

If you think there’d be folded plastic in the design I’m talking about then you must be misunderstanding me.

bobthened,

I’m using it right now. Working just fine so far, exactly the same as the reddit version, and I haven’t been asked to pay $20 for it.

‘World Of Warcraft’ Players Trick AI-Scraping Games Website Into Publishing Nonsense (www.forbes.com)

A website called zleague.gg has been scraping Reddit threads, feeding them into an AI and publishing auto-generated summaries without proper oversight. World of Warcraft players on Reddit noticed this and created a fake thread about a made-up feature called Glorbo to trick the AI. The AI then published an article summarizing the...

bobthened,

Non paywall version?

Meanwhile, the government can only offer a poultry paltry 6% pay increase to junior doctors.

bobthened,

Literally nothing lol. It’s just a right wing conspiracy theory based on fear of change.

Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...

bobthened, (edited )

My interest are gaming, standup comedy, memes, react videos, metalurgy, machining, blacksmithing,

Because a lot of the type of guys who like seeing those stupid conservative videos also like many of the same things as you. Gaming^™ is well known to have a problem with the alt-right, react videos have a very similar structure to conservative “libs destroyed with fact and logic” types of videos, and finally a lot of conservatives like to think of themselves as an old fashioned man’s-man so they enjoy things like metalwork and other typical “manly” careers.

bobthened,

Yes. With Ron the fascist DeSantis deliberately alienating Trump supporters I think it’s safe to say that his arm of the party has shifted from a leopards eating faces party to a jaguars eating leopards and faces party.

bobthened,

Now do that for every single company.

bobthened,

Cyberpunk had the same thing, but it turned out to be a) very minimal options b) made no difference at all to story or romance c) irrelevant because without mods you couldn’t see them in game apart from in the inventory screen.

I suspect this would be the same, just a pointless feature to generate clickbait articles and maybe get a few more sales to horny coomer idiots.

bobthened,

Yeah there’s a few of those types here too unfortunately.

bobthened,

Free speech has always had limits.

It’s mostly about the government not arresting you for what you say. It doesn’t protect you from the consequences of saying hateful things in a public space. Say something racist in an area largely populated by the race you’re talking about and you’re likely to get kicked, post some right wing misinformation in an online space that is largely left-leaning and you’re likely to have your post deleted. Neither of those things infringe on anyone’s right to free speech because other people also have the right to not want to listen to Nazis or racists or TERFS etc.

bobthened,

Love this.
