US cops really have stored up an incredible amount of badwill, haven't they? Now, I can't help but see Nolan's Batman film (whichever the one is with cops in tunnels), Brooklyn 99 and others as straight up copaganda. Just zero sympathy. The balance will shift at some point, it has to.
I lie shamelessly to companies when signing up these days. They get fake DoBs, names, aliased emails, fake addresses, phones, the lot. Let them out that data on my profile without consent, hopefully they aren't going to expend resources to penetrate that veil.
This is going poorly for Israel. They don't seem to detect a tide of opinion rising against them, slowly but surely. Maybe they plan to smash-and-grab, get as much done as they can before they are truly forced to ease up.
The whole Levant area has seen so many blood-soaked conquests that any claim of 'proper' or 'original' owners is wilfully and maliciously ignorant. This is also the case for pretty much every bit of solid ground. Your desire to return things to "how they were" is just you picking your fave point on a timeline of history.
Perfect comeback. Fucking hypocritical piece of shit, this dude.
With a slimy bio on the coinbase page too: "Tobi Lütke has served as a member of our board of directors since February 2022. Since September 2004, Mr. Lütke has served as co-founder and director of Shopify, Inc., an e-commerce company, and, since April 2008, has served as its Chief Executive Officer."

It's not thriving. The devs are prickly arseholes, which is anathema to building a cooperative, volunteer-driven dev community and the tone of many mainstream communities is obnoxiously set by tankies amd their alts.
She should have resigned long ago, and ejected if she had refused.
Nice! Hopefully they can repeat and improve on this result.
The problem is, before they wemt on that murdering spree, the western world pretty much ignored their plight, or maybe tutted when they chucked a rocket or two over the border. But any kind of "proper" political solution was flatly ignored. It's not a justification, but I have to say that I umderstand why that situation led to a "fuck it, let's just rampage" attitude. And look, they actually have a tonne of eyeballs and attention on their shitty situation (and shitty leaders), so maybe something will come of this. Palestinians are paying an exorbitantly heavy price for it, though.
Nothing will be accomplished without violence.
At what point does the state confiscate them and auction them off? Give right of refusal to a residents' coop and shake off the parasite.
Let apple take the flak for moving the market and then quietly copy because of course it's more lucrative... classic.
You're delusional. The houthis are shitth. The idf and the houthis can both be shitty at the same time. Two wrongs don't make a right, it's not hard to understand.
It lacks the massive audience to bear non-nerd communities. The formula1 subs are not a patch on reddit, nor are the outdoorsy, camping and flashlight communities.
Does that help? As an appeal to authority, I'm not convinced. Anglicans aren't known for much more than constant infighting, definitely not for missile strike origin identification.
That's not the point of the comparison. The point of similarity is that it was a significant blow that struck without the defenders anticipating it.
This article is not about the US (for once).
Oh oops, you haven't pasted some cool copyleft licence below your words on this niche thread on a niche social media network so looks like I might remix and reuse your content without attribution... Unlucky
Petty corruption is pretty decently under control (you can't bribe a police officer if they pull you over), but institutional corruption, politicians amd their buddies, that had a field day with COVID measures and is very much alive and kicking.
See this example of "legal" affairs that stink of corruption. A lot of land was force-bought to make way for a new high-speed line to be laid. Huge overruns later, the line has been chopped short, it will no longer run across certain tracts of land. So a tonne of land that was appropriated from citizens is now going to be sold off. I feel sure the price on those sales will be below market value and it will be sold to their buddies.
Or Nick Clegg, the former deputy Prime Minister who, when he left government, went into a veeery cushy job at Meta.
Why do you avoid buying from catalonia?
20 a month?! No way in hell reddit app access is worth that.
Fuck that. Banksy wrote:

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
The longer quote is here.
I don't know whether it ever was, but it definitely got co-opted by racists as a slur in the UK. A pretty bad one too, I gather. Whether it's been reclaimed, I couldn't say. Personally, I'd steer very well clear of it.
Thieve from big corpos. Don't feel bad about it. They don't.
Dude, they did MATHS, that's science™.
Gag orders can forbid people from publicly discussing a case or aspects of it.
Fucking children with nuclear briefcases, terrifying. Guterres's speech was very, very balanced.
I'm not holding my breath. Rich people do not play under the same rules as normal people. Bankrupt me and I'm on the street. Bankrupt rich dudes and somehow they still have lawyers, nice clothes and roofs over their heads that they own.
Nobody holds yiur hand and tells you who to hate. You have to grow up and exercise your own critical skills to work out who you agree and disagree with. Hexbear and Lemmygrad are tutorial-level obvious. Lemmy.ml started more normal but seems to have drifted their way.
So get on an instance that more or less aligns with your views and dig out the block button. I use Sync on my phone and it lets you block an instance entirely.
Yep. There's a whole fucking lot of us.
Despite the judgement, this guy still lives a millionaire's lifestyle. Consequences are for poor people. Poverty is for poor, unconnected people. You'll see. The system is set up by and for people like Jones. He has hordes of people working out the loopholes and delays and deals that will let him wriggle out of actually just being fucked by the law.
Oh no, uh, yea, they were all stashes. That house? Jihadi radio, yea. That garden? A fiendish cache of turnips um, bullets~~?~~
Hamas is a sack of shit org for using human shields and storing their shit in civilian residences, but the IDF is absolutely meting out collective punishment to civilians using that excuse. It has happened, sure, but fuck me, this wholesale destruction is horrific. And when Guterres alludes to that fact, the screams of objection are hideous.
Still sticking to the Israeli air strike story huh? Nice, makes it clear how objective you are
Oh phew. I studied English Lit at university and had to wade through bits of both. I used to feel like I was some sort of uncultured swine for not "getting" them. But honestly, I just don't think they work as novels. As a piece of art, I guess, sure. Fine and modern art can look like nonsense without context, but often make sense when seen as part of a conversation with other artists and movements. If taken like that, fine, you do you, Joycey-boy, and write incomprehensibly. I'll be over here with my Iain Banks and Ned Beauman, enjoying them.
Lucky you. It won't be that way for many (I'm only not saying most because I don't have a source to hand to back it up on my phone).
Dude, this is a straw man you're arguing against. The truth is the lot of them are past it.
Bullshit, but go off.
Yea, you can see why, but it is such a hassle for people like OP. I used to have cassette tapes of a really good audiobook of the Lord of the Rings (something like 12 cassettes in a set!), but I just pirated a copy and dotched the cassettes because I had paid for that, and my copy would be awful quality. I have to say this kind of approach, as suggested elsewhere in these comments, seems the only logical outcome for this problem, it's pretty silly.
The doxxing truck is so incredibly fucked up.
