They are using YT shorts. The next video auto populates with something the algorithm thinks you’ll watch for 15 seconds and it’s usually correct. Its like a slot machine. Quick and easy entertainment that people can lose hours in

Yes, there are people who 100% think Israel not only should forgive and forget about Oct 7. Then there are the people who think Israelis deserve that and worse.

Al Jazeera finds all the best anti Israel voices

Afghanistan is a giant country. Gaza is the size of Las Vegas. Do you think maybe that will have an impact?

A lot fewer, based on the attacks so far. While I’m sure lots of people would prefer Gaza to be pushed into the ocean, the end result will likely still be Palestinian but with a different government and decades of rebuilding. It sounds like Israel is mirroring the Iraq or Japan invasion method which means a tear down and rebuild of government that will need to keep promises about launching rockets and other attacks.

Should have been a lot of things. Bibi can go get fucked but in the here and now Israel is going to make sure this conflict ends by force. No more Hamas for nutcases like Bibi to fund.

Duh. Israel is going to want to monitor the region for a long time to make sure Hamas isn’t coming back. That’s going to mean boots on the ground.

Other nations that want to stop this from being permanent will need to step up and volunteer their own soldiers to monitor the region because Israel won’t give up the land without some strong promises that things won’t slip

You’re being downvoted, but a shit tonne of people are justifying the atrocities because it’s againstna people they hate.

Yeah, they are not known for just letting go of someone for no reason. This guy must have been dusty balls useless

Theres only one person to blame and that’s the person who lit it on fire. It’s very convenient for no one except the ultra rich to have any agency in the world but it’s not how reality works

Except this arson wasn’t done by rich people. It was locals who want to use the land for farming cattle.

Absolving individuals for their behaviours is a great way to go nowhere. We all make choices

You are correct, unlike my autocorrect which decided it didn’t like the word ‘post’. Edited

Not just Mercury’s story. All those times the movie had Mercury spiraling into sex and drugs and the movie versions of May and the rest of the group were cuddling with their wives and girlfriends. You know, the way they were famous for doing.

Started this because I didn’t see it in theatres and can’t find the og discussion thread.

I finally watched Barbie after a full year of heavy PR campaigns to see the best movie of the year that was saving theatres and driving studios to go back to original IP for film ideas. And after all that my reaction is a solid…meh.

It was fine. I felt other movies have done the same themes but better and more cohesively. And I’m not sure what the final message of the movie even was. It felt like there was some boardroom interference in the final product because you could see the story aiming at something, then changing course before they got to a satisfying conclusion.

Acting and set design was good, it just overall felt like a miss that was made bigger by the giant campaign they launched to sell the movie as great.

You see it with everything from food quality, cigarettes, fuel. The standards set in the West prevent so much random shit we never acknowledge.

This behaviour isn’t because he’s famous it’s because he’s incredibly wealthy and no one has ever told him no.

DDG is my go-to, it’s normally good enough. Google used to be better at showing searches so I’d still go check out then if I couldn’t find something.

But since their ad strategy changed to favour paid suppliers and their servers are getting switched to handle heavier computing, Google is starting to suck now. So honestly its probable that you’ll need to work harder to find what you’re looking for regardless of which engine you use.

We have had this same type of decision so many times in our history. Fossil fuels, antibiotics, plastics, AI. And we always have to learn too late that there were big, avoidable mistakes.

Might be better to just accept that and adapt to the fact that we are just horrible at making this type of choice.

How do you use Plex? Can it work on a fire stick?

They absolutely would be profitable, it’s just that those costs would then be passed on to the consumer. People would see energy costs skyrocket to make up the difference.

The oil companies still have a product most of the world needs and people will (and have) killed to get it. We’d rebel against a government they tried

In order to get passed oil we need to move to alternatives like EVs.
