From the article's sub headline: ”Palestinians in Beit Hanoun were instructed by Israeli army to leave their homes and head for city centre. Hours later, the city centre was targeted”

This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don't want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

It was a tough sacrifice, but the really important thing going forward is making sure Elon gets his 56 billion dollar bonus reinstated that was so cruelly taken away.

Lol sounds like this increases tax revenues by increasing the number of addicted smokers buying cigarettes and then taxing the sales.

Really sound government policy there.

That's what I thought about the elephant tusk looking AirPods yet here we are.

The Reality Distortion Field sometimes makes things hard to predict when it comes to Apple products.

Yet this is the same party attacking the left for being antisemitic, and the media never contextualizes their attacks with things like this or their Jewish space laser actual antisemitism.

What is this meme about even?

Downplaying Boeing's poor safety record by suggesting that they're the subject of repeated attacks that aren't their fault?

Who does this resonate with even?

Won't find many people shedding tears for the legacy cable companies or the legacy taxi industry. Two of the most hated industries before they got disrupted.

Seems like one of those things everyone would say in the abstract, particularly on a survey. Then when the studios go for safe projects and the thing they remake is among someone's personal favorites they'll watch it anyway, validating the strategy.

It doesn't seem like neo-Nazism in this case but rather the long standing hate by Muslims if it makes any difference. From the news coverage I've seen of this, it seems like it was a mob of Muslims waving Palestinian flags.

This is total BS and people are upvoting it just because it sounds truthy.

Piracy links? Yeah, sure.

Archive links? Like OP said, even corporate Reddit allows those. The risk to a Lemmy instance from allowing this is literally zero. There is a rule of lawsuits among lawyers that you always look for the deep pockets because you can't get anything from a lawsuit if the defendant can't pay. There is no way Lemmy.world would be sued for this before Reddit, which actually has money to pay with. That's even setting aside the notion that linking to archives could be found to constitute copyright infringement.

How? How does a country take that much of a financial beating and still be thriving? Where is the point of being broke and not being able to fund a war anymore?

Not only that but I remember reading a lot of articles about how Russia was going to economically collapse as a result....almost two years ago.

Also a lot of articles about how weak Russia was militarily, how they lost all their troops and equipment already, how morale in their military was so poor the army was just going to run away at any moment, how one major asset after another was destroyed by the Ukrainians...for almost two years now.

Yet here they are still, not collapsed, not defeated. It probably is a good idea to take the media with a grain of salt and realize just because they're the so-called free press doesn't make them necessarily the truthful press.

Yup, you're a real hero with your populism. Look how great that turned out.

People these days treat democracy like a damned religion instead of a system of governance. Turns out though that complex decisions often benefit from expertise instead of letting the lowest common denominator decide.

I'm sure this has been commented a lot but my first time seeing it, wow the leaker's name is actually Littlejohn as in Robin Hood's right hand man.

I'm scratching my head, who is the normal candidate? The one that was pretending like the Civil War wasn't about slavery? The one that picked a fight with Mickey Mouse to try and score political points but then got his ass kicked?

From the article:

On the federal charges, Dedmon and Elward each face a maximum sentence of 120 years plus life in prison and $2.75 million in fines. Hartfield faces a possible sentence of 80 years and $1.5 million, McAlpin faces 90 years and $1.75 million, Middleton faces 80 years and $1.5 million, and Opdyke could be sentenced to 100 years with a $2 million fine.

Fortunately, doesn't seem like they're letting them off easy or anything.

Meanwhile, Representative Elise Stefanik—the star browbeater of the hearings on campus antisemitism called by the House Education and Workforce Committee—has been gunning forthe resignation of Columbia President Nemat (Minouche) Shafik (a matter that is not the purview of politicians, but of faculty, administrators, and trustees). 

It's funny how even after kowtowing to right wing demands, she faces demands to resign not only from the left that she sicced the police on, but also the right that she has been groveling towards.

Saying something implicating a protected class like "I'm pregnant" might provoke some panicked calls to HR and actually get you off that list.

The French government has reported 24 arrests for more than 100 antisemitic acts in France since Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, including verbal abuse, people caught with knives near Jewish schools and synagogues and a drone equipped with a camera spotted over a Jewish cultural center.

This is the best they could come up with to hype up the threat and justify the crackdown on freedom of expression?

Is there even an allegation that the drone with a camera, aka basically all drones, was related to anything nefarious? Or could this just be a case where a hobbyist was flying the $25 toy drone he just bought but now that's antisemitic because it was over a Jewish cultural center.
