The enshittification of everything will eventually lead to some small companies making good quality long lasting appliances I hope, they will make a good name for themselves and have easily repairable parts, but since we live in the real world whirlpool or GE will buy them keep the branding and make it more “intelligent” and easily breakable by adding computer parts that aren’t needed and plastic parts that will fail and not be able to be repaired or replaced.
While the war in Iran should not be happening remember that at Rimpac they were doing live fire excercises and not US and Iranian ships attended, this means that while tragic the ship was not unarmed. I keep seeing some factual errors repeated to try and make things sound worse than they are leading to easy dismissal of arguments due to factual errors and complete dismissal of the point.
For me the variables made it a bit easier
Wasn’t there more to this interaction?
She has been vocal on “Jewish billionaires controlling the world” the whole George Soros type thing, she talked about Jewish space lazers, and a whole lot of other anti-semitic comments throughout the years. You don’t have to disagree with the religion to be prejudiced against it; for example I think the Torah is very problematic, same as the bible, the Quran, the Bhagavad-gita and many other religious texts, and the religious organizations they spawned, I do not find Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or other peoples who believe in their respective religions as the problem except in where their beliefs dictate their politics and are used to supress the freedoms and beliefs of others. That point of view by the overly zealous is seen as anti their religion because their religion tends to want to spread and become supreme, as well as fracture under their own weight, but that just means I don’t want for example the 10 commanents in my public schools paid for by my tax dollars. When you start say all (insert religious or ethnic group here) are something or other or that they control the economy, the media, the world, drink the blood of the innocent, or whatever or take the actions of a small minority of them and project it on the whole that is a major issue and prejudice.
Not a fan of her at all, and her antisemitism has not abaited in the slightest but more infighting withing the oligarghic-fascist regime the better so long as we are able to rebuild after.
With their partnership with Motorola I’m not so sure.
If that is the case they’ve been making very dumb decisions in the last 10 years for that. Threatening Europe with attacks if they don’t abandon Ukraine has increased military cooperation within the EU and military spending when Trump threatened to not help if they didn’t reach a certain military spending threshold, Trump increasing tarrifs on the EU, the largest importer from and exporter to the US has made EU start investing in open source technologies and to disentangle themselves from much of what has made the US rich since the end of WW2, the US manufacturing and technology sectors, Trump threatening Greenland has raised EU hackles as most of the member states are members of NATO and has forced them to re-evaluate their military partnership with the US on many levels, being one of the main reasons there is not even token support for operations in Iran, Russia’s 3 day military operation in Ukraine and their destruction of cables and potential destruction of pipelines to create price shocks and increase overall prices for Russian oil has led to countries previously very reliant on Russian oil toturn to France for nuclear power, to renewables, or to pay for higher prices for oil from the middle east (with plans to decouple from most oil as soon as they can to stop being forced into political situations over energy costs). That doesn’t sound like them getting weakened but them decoupling their economies and getting over the growing pains to stand on their own against the stupidity of the US and Russia.
I’d say they found a carve out for crimes done by the rich and powerful is more inclusive of those who avoid prosecution. Diddy can get out in a little over 2 years, OJ got off, all CEOs of major corporations tend to get away with a lot, not just the white guys but former HP ceo and presidential candidate for the US Carly Fiorina, the CEOs of AMD, Nvidia, Google, Microsoft and more are not white guys and you would find it hard not to say what they’ve done isn’t criminal.
It’s crazy how war crimes can be premeditated put out publicly and will never be prosecuted.
It would be funny and entertaining if it didn’t affect peoples lives the way it does instead of being a voluntary opt in option (and not some small TOS you agreed to this because we gave you no other choice)
Their insurance is better than yours they won’t suffer this until it doesn’t matter much and their vote doesn’t really count anymore.
For we all live underground
That by definition is subjective. You name anything that is ok in one society or even one area that is frowned upon in another that is subjective morality. For example as times have gotten harder and harder for younger people economically living with their parents in the Global West has become seen as more and more normal and not treating those adults as basement creatures or something.
Or someone who knows what happens in places like the PRK, China, US, and other surveilance intensive states.
Its not the roommates that bothers me it is the listening devices and constantly playing propaganda that is illegal to turn off, or forced “vacations” in labor camps for disagreeing with government decisions.
It happens a lot to guys who are near women who shine and are memorable, Marie Curie’s husband, Pierre Curie, was more than just her husband he helped with the radioactivity research and they both died because of it. That said how many women have been erased in similar situations like that of Rosalind Franklin being Upstaged by Francis Crick. In short Academia needs to be better about recognition and change the incentive structure that makes for some forcing their names into papers they had nothing to do with besides proximity.
For this if we can add TV shows I’d say quite a few scenes from Andor, the excellent speeches, when Keeno Loy wasn’t able to swim, the whole show is filled with scenes like this.
Wikipedia? It’s not software but worth donating to.
The woman in the top picture giving water to the starving kid actually happened though, she found the abandoned kid in Africa who was called a witch by his village and was on the verge of death so she adopted him from what I remember. You posting about fictional white saviorsin media has nothing to do with her being a human being and saving g that kid’s life.
