Because both sides are fighting are major assholes. Hamas does hide arms and fighters in and around hospitals. Israel doesn’t hold back attacking the hospitals to get at that gear, because they care more about killing Hamas than saving Palestinians. The civilians in Gaza are surrounded by assholes.
“On environmental issues, he is equally provocative, calling climate change “a socialist hoax”, and saying that a company should be able to pollute a river as it sees fit.”
It’s amazing how much damage can be done in a short amount of time when people like this get in charge. This isn’t even getting into the fact that he wants to end investments in research, when investments in US research generate 2.6x in economic output. I’m guessing it’s not too different in Argentina, but guys like this have no interest in facts.
Musk is an absolute sociopath, but there’s actually a logic to this.
Apparently the US has extremely tight export controls for telecomm tech used for war, and Starlink was concerned that by Ukraine using it in an offensive way it would result in the US or other countries classifying Starlink as military tech, thereby limiting where they can export it. That would be really bad for Starlink, of course, which is why they specified at the beginning that Ukraine should only use it for civilian goals (hospitals, schools, government, etc).
I assume the contract between Starlink and the Pentagon covers that, but I haven’t researched that far.
Cannibal: The Musical.
It’s a reeeally early Trey Parker and Matt Stone creation. A live action comedy musical movie about the Donner party. Definitely a classic.
He’s a poor man’s vision of a rich man, an ignorant man’s vision of a smart man, and a weak man’s vision of a strong man.
“Go back to Russia!”
Maybe. But it incentivises others to be patient trolls.
It’s really sad that patent law doesn’t require you to actually create the thing you’re patenting.
I mean, I understand the original rationale: building out infrastructure is super expensive, so the monopoly gives the company an assurance they can recoup investment. But then there’s no follow-up! There’s nothing requiring the ISP to evolve, so we end up with the same tech as when the contract was signed 20 years ago. At least wireless (LTE, 5G, etc) is promising for competiton, but buying spectrum from the FCC is also f’ing expensive.
Quick! Give the ISPs a bunch of federal dollars to build out their networks so they can quietly pocket it and do stock buybacks!
That special is an absolute masterpiece
Vaati also did a recent demo and summary of his gameplay: https://youtu.be/1c1crLkr56E?si=FYt5M0Kus8G_kGwa
And yeah, it looks pretty sick
Ahh, yes, the murder mittens…
Iron Sky!!
Who doesn’t love a movie about Nazis hiding for 60 years in a secret base on the dark side of the moon?!?!
So try that. Go a week without smoking and see if you can do it.
I roll the occasional smoke after lunch but it’s less than one a day. That’s how I know I’m not addicted: I go multiple days between having a smoke, I can smoke with friends on the weekend, but then not smoke by myself on weekdays. Try that to know if you’re really not addicted.
I guess they haven’t discovered the button to block communities?
My feed is quite nice after blocking the stuff that doesn’t appeal to me.
Definitely try Hellblade. And definitely play with headphones.
We aught to make the pie higher!
This is true. No realistic pay raise can compensate for a toxic work environment. At some point, most people will value their mental health over high pay.
Connect has the same issue for me. The app UI shows I’m logged in, Lemmy disagrees, so I just log in again.
'"It is not humanitarian at all because it only serves one segment of the population there. The hostages there do not receive any humanitarian aid.”
They mean the civilians in Gaza held hostage by the Israeli military, right?
