Iranian star Parastoo Ahmadi sentenced to 74 lashes for singing without hijab

Reply in thread

How about I support the side that was attacked first with massive terror bombing campaigns against civilian targets that responded with missile attacks that almost entirely focused on military targets.

Seriously. America started the war by double tapping a girls school intentionally. Almost 200 girls between 9-12 were murdered in that terrorist bombing attack.

And I use the word intentionally as even fucking Google maps knew it was a girls school. First strike packages are the most carefully researched and selected targets in any war.

The Very Hungry Kittypillar

I really really hate the meme jokes about brain worms.

The joke that RFK Jr. Has brain worms is actually better than the real situation.

Basically, he claimed he had brain worms in court to justify not giving his now ex-wife alimony, due to his supposed cognitive issues. He blacklisted her in their town and financially fucked with her until she committed suicide.

No medical evidence was given for the supposed brain worm.

The joke about him having a brain worm is cover for what he really did, which was much worse.

It must be SO embarrassing to be an educated American right now!

ADL defends Nazi salute

Reply in thread

This was a literal investigated criminal case, this isn't supposition.

Your serious doubts is nothing more than ignorance.

EDIT: Another thing that is not supposition. Israel was one of the final supporters of Apartheid South Africa. They supported them even after the US stopped.

Pick up a history book.

And Yes, Israel has just spent the last 15 months committing what every human rights organization has declared a genocide. Can't get more nazi'ish then committing a genocide.

Just Stop Oil protester, 78, has jail term extended after no suitable tag found

Reply in thread

They didn't.

You just didn't like the translation of your words into their consequences.

Most Nazi civilians weren't evil in any special unique way. They just didn't care about any moral framework more than they cared about not having the status quo broken.

It's an aspect of the banality of evil.

Your attitude, sadly the most common attitude, is the main driving force for the most heinous of outcomes.

Here it is being used to justify the literal end of the fucking human race and turning our planet into Venus.

Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”

Reply in thread

I'm a sys admin/devops engineer, and yes, storage is far more expensive then people realize.

This is the very definition of enshittification.

EDIT: To those downvoting:

Do you actually know what the definition of enshittification is? Apparently not.

Enshittification (alternately, crapification and platform decay) is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

It doesn't matter that the cost of storage is a real thing. They gave things of value away for free to grow their user base and to try and capture network effects. Now that they think they have that they are taking away ( or decreasing ) the free stuff of value they gave away.

The fact that storage has value is literally an important part of enshitification.

It wouldn't be enshitification if they gave away free stuff that wasn't valuable.

‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’

Reply in thread

You weren't paying attention. Many states banned anyone else from the ballot, even though there wasn't cause for that by the rules.

There were no debates (Something that would have given Democratic party members time to decide if they thought Biden was electable.)

Some states were told their delegates wouldn't count.

There was no fair Democratic Party primary. If you think there was you were either not paying attention, or you didn't want a fair primary in the first place.

This problem is a problem of the Democratic Part{EDIT}y's own making.

Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn't war — it was annihilation

Reply in thread

That's the point of 'The Banality of Evil' and the Milgram experiments.

There is nothing special or different about the Israelis, or for that matter the Nazis. They were normal people.

The only silver lining about the Milgram experiments is that they showed that if people were aware that the default nature of human beings was to follow orders, no matter how horrible, they would be inoculated, somewhat, to following those orders.

Please note, Israel is committing an unjustified horrible fucking genocide. None of this is an excuse for that. But you better recognize that there isn't too much that differentiates you from those snipers, because if you don't recognize that then you could be one of them in the future.
