Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.

Jesus Christ. It's so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).

I mean, its a news article posted to a news forum. And if we look at the comments the parent comments for the top 7 threads are:

-unrelated anecdote -praose for the idea behind the festival -something removed (probably some random racist shit). Notably the child comments seem to call out the original sentiment. -a request for more info -tangential conversation about what defines a "major incident"

  • the classic "OMG wtf"
  • a comment likening this to another "needle panic"

I don't know if your issue is with the content or the reactions but I don't see how either points to the issues with social media. It's a bit sensationalist and some of the comments arent exactly thought provokers, but there's nothing (that I can see) that screams "social media bad"

Even to your point about boots, there are some people who are vegan (by their definition) and wear leather boots. Arguments can be made that leather will (in specific circumstances) result in less animal harm in the long run, and while I don't personally justify leather this way, I can understand how some have these perspectives.

The real issue is labels. As soon as you apply one, you are subject to everyone else's understanding of that thing. In my experience, if you don't meet their understanding of said thing you're dismissed as not being a "true x", or it's "if you truly are X then why do you do y?"

This is why I never refer to myself as vegan/vegetarian and just "I don't eat meat" (or a more specific statement as needed).

I never say I'm a leftist/socialist I just gestures vaguely at American politics believe that's kinda fucked and shouldn't be done that way.

I even dislike saying I'm an urbanist because, even though I despise car-centric design, I've been called out for the sin of hiring a car when I visited my hometown last (generally I cycle everywhere or use PT, but I had an ankle injury so woe is me I guess)

At some level we're all hypocrites, ones intentions are far more important, and shouldn't be dismissed as easily as they are. What's more important is to align your actions with your beliefs, be open about what you believe in, be open-minded when someone's beliefs don't align with your own, be ready to adjust your beliefs based on new information and experiences but most of all:

Be kind.

No! If we wait two more weeks then Iran will have nuclear weapons!

TBf they've cnanged a bunch since then, even still all they've really done is limited the PvP aspects.

If you love the PvE aspect of the game, then you aren't missing anything in safe seas

Yeah, sarcasm mate

[–] Kirca@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Cool narrative you got there mate, problem is while the term "alum" was used for (far more than) 5 centuries, the words "aluminium" and "aluminium" were both coined around the same time, roughly 1810ish. Also, Sir. Davy, who coined the phrase that you hold dear, was British.

Tldr: every part of that statement is wrong

top 1.9% of only fans

This is a complete aside, but does anyone feel like putting "top 2%" sounds better than "1.9"?

Like when I hear top 2 percent I think wow this person is somewhere between 1.5 and 2% but 1.9 makes me think 1.90 to 1.99.

Maybe it's just me.

I hate articles which are just "we watched this youtube video and here are our notes"

Here's the link to the original creators video, it's well worth a watch:

Because just having two characters with the exact same lines is boring, Gerry has had 3 games now, I want to explore someone else as a character, with new motivations, character flaws etc

The "poster boys" are the Ultramarines, who rock the blue and gold, but there are a tonne of different chapters with individual colour schemes.

In saying that I don't there are really any super popular ones rocking green at the time (probably were, but I don't recall any)

 

Hey android pals, not sure if this is the right place to ask but my Google Fu is failing me, I'm currently in a single party consent country but will be moving to a two party consent region soon, is there an app that works like an ivr that will screen calls and advise people they're being recorded (and ideally terminate the call if they do not consent)?

 
 

Hi all, sorry for disappearing for a while, I lost access to my account. I'm hoping to spruce this place up a bit, so am looking to implement a banner and icon, but rather than just pick one myself, I thought I would get your opinions. If you have any photos you think would fit the bill post them here and after a week or so I will upload the most popular.

I often search by local all but there are so many posts from Lemmy.nsfw. Nothing against the community but I do a lot of scrolling at work so that's not ideal.

Is there a way to block that instance without blocking all NSFW posts? (Need to keep my shit posts lol)

I've slowly been blocking individual instances but if I can block the whole domain that would be ideal (this might be obvious but I can't figure it out)

E: thanks for the advice everyone, guess I'll keep knocking em out when they pop up.

Hoping to ride this down the country come the summer time but we'll see where life takes us
