Yeah, I don't get it. No one says, "fuck Alphabet for how they're handling YouTube". No one says, "fuck Alphabet for baking spyware into Android and Chrome". No, they criticize Google for that stuff. Why is Facebook different?
I don't think the people doing it now are bots, but I swear the Facebook-Meta separation had to have been started by astroturfing. People seemed way too eager to accept the rebranding and act like Meta was somehow different from Facebook.
Same. I'm ADHD (and I've had professionals recommend I get tested for autism), and tbh, I have no idea if I'm "real" or "fake" anymore; and if I'm "fake", how much of me is "fake".
I've had a conspiracy theory about Netanyahu and why he's been pushing into Gaza so hard. He and his party know that what they're doing is unpalatable for most western liberal and left-wing voters, meaning liberals and left-wing politicians are more likely to be(come) critical and cut off aid to Israel than their right-wing counterparts. Biden, as infuriatingly slow as he is, seems to be gradually becoming less and less supportive of Israel, while iirc Trump (or at least his allies) has talked about going all-in on Gaza.
If you're Netanyahu, the idea of your largest ally potentially dropping support and cutting off aid is a scary thing, especially when you're surrounded by countries that want you dead. Wouldn't you try to influence the politics of your allies to swing in your favor?
As such, I have a suspicion that Netanyahu and his party are not only using the genocide to stay in power, but also as a poison pill for western liberal and left-wing politicial allies. The intent being to make liberal allies like Biden unpalatable to their voter base so that there is a decreased liberal voter turnout to tip the scales in favor of politicians like Trump.
Or more simply, I think it's possible Netanyahu is using Gaza to stab foreign liberal politicians in the back and skew voter turnout in favor of politicians who are less likely to grow a conscience. I think that's why it is that every time Biden "draws a line", Netanyahu puts his toe over it and says, "nyah, nyah, nyahnyah nyah, I'm not liisteeeeniiiiing." It's not just to keep himself in power, it's also a way of influencing his allies' elections.

Probably something along the lines of, "Dumb American. Back in my day we beat sense into the autists and kids with down syndrome. Kids these days are too soft, only thing that'll cure an autism is a good kick to the head."
What? You put them in solitary just like they're putting kids in solitary. That way they learn what it's like to do that to someone else and then they won't do it again!
Personally, I've found that not really being into sex is a deal breaker for most people. Combine that with the fact that I have a hard time trusting people and maintaining relationships with them, and I've kinda given up.
I just want to feel wanted.
Edit, on a slightly different note: for everyone out there who is """fur-curious""" but holding back for one reason or another, stop that. I orbited the furry community for probably 15yrs before "officially" getting involved in the community a couple years ago and I seriously regret that I waited that long. People are a hell of a lot nicer here.
Okay, if I... if I chop you up in a meat grinder, and the only thing that comes out, that's left of you, is your eyeball, you'r- you're PROBABLY DEAD! You're probably going to - not you, I'm just sayin', like, if you- if somebody were to, like, push you into a meat grinder, and, like, your- one of your finger bones is still intact, they're not gonna pick it up and go, "Well see, yeah it wasn't deadly, it wasn't an instant kill move! You still got, like, this part of your finger left!" NO I'M NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO A MEAT GRINDER. I'M NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO A MEAT GRINDER. NO. I'm making a reference to the fact that, like, if I, like, if I were to get fucking KILLED... I don't know, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'. If- if- okay, if you were to- okay we're gonna take humans out of this, if alien Globgobglobgo 1 fuckin' shoots a disintegrating ray at alien Globglo 2, if there's only fucking TEETH LEFT, it's- it's fucking you're dead, you're dead.
"If I were to put you in a meat grinder," goddamnit, it's so fucked up! You understand what I'm sayin' though, I'm not actually saying that I'm going to put somebody in a meat grinder, goddamnit. Whatever.

It's referencing Facade, a procedurally generated breakup sim where you act as the catalyst for your best friend's divorce. You have a text box and you have to find the right things to say to make Trip and Grace hate each other and eventually get a divorce. Anyway, the word "melon" instantly gets you kicked out of their apartment.
Okay, Facade isn't a breakup sim, you're supposed to save their marriage, not ruin it. However, they're both massive assholes so it's more fun to ruin their lives.
You might have already figured it out, but it says
You wouldn't pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p
Also I don't think OP made the meme, I think they're just wanting to know more (as am I). Like, what's the drama? Why'd someone make the meme? It implies Netflix only lets you watch things in 1080p on a PC if you apply a bunch of workarounds (presumably to make the site think you're a TV or something).
You come into our house, eat our food, sleep in our bed, and then demand we change our culture? Nah, bitch, this is internet colonialism. I will not stand for the destruction of our culture.
I wonder if there's a way to obscure IPs on the side of a torrent tracker. Like an inverse VPN.
Tbh though, I feel like in this day and age they're gonna have a hard time cracking down on torrents. VPNs are easier to use and more accessible than ever. Just remember to recommend VPN usage when someone asks about trackers, torrent programs, etc.
Edit: also this is pure bullshit, I can't believe anyone actually believes this in this day and age:
In his speech on Tuesday, Rivkin highlights what a major problem piracy in the US has become, saying it costs “hundreds of thousands of jobs” and “more than one billion in theatrical ticket sales.”
Pretending it actually does hurt ticket sales, you know damn well companies wouldn't use the money to hire more people, Rivkin. They'd use the money to find new ways of cutting costs, aka jobs.
Interesting. I thought it was fairly well established that Jesus existed in some capacity but the debate was about who he actually was and (from a religious standpoint) if he did any of the things the Bible claims he did. It's interesting to read that non-jewish people of the time seemed to have no knowledge of his existence.
At the same time though, I wonder if it's possible that most people just ignored him, which is why there's apparently very few accounts of him until after he supposedly died, resurrected and ascended to heaven. Kinda like a street preacher in Times Square, NYC. How many people actually acknowledge street preachers on social media, and how many of them actually know the preachers by name? Then think about how social media didn't exist yet, so the bar to be recorded in history by uninterested third parties (even just as a letter to a friend about that "annoying Jesus guy") is probably a lot higher.
Not saying he existed, just that it's interesting to think that he could have existed but the lack of evidence is just because no one gave a fuck.

Hello, yes, LGBT person stuck in Texas here. Can I have their house please? I don't really like the cold, but if it means I don't have to feel scared about coming out of the closet then I could deal with it.
There's gonna be a day when people don't understand this anymore. Considering the resolution phone cameras have now, it may not even be that much longer.
Yeah, they look cute but just looking at them makes my feet uncomfortable. They're probably only comfortable if you walk on tip toes, but human feet aren't designed for that.
When it comes to extant tribes, many of them have web pages with info about them. The depth of information varies from tribe to tribe, I think typically encapsulating whatever the tribe feels comfortable sharing publicly. However when it comes to extinct tribes, much of what you'll find will probably be spotty and questionable, as what is known is likely the result of archeology and accounts from nearby tribes.
It's really frustrating how difficult it is to learn about the native cultures as someone on the outside. It gets glossed over in school and what you hear in pop culture is often heavily skewed or butchered to put on a good show for the audience. Then, because of how much of it gets butchered, chopped and screwed, the people who actually know the real stories become understandably protective and reluctant to share them. It'd be nice if there was a central, wikipedia-like site run by the tribes where you could learn about their stories and traditions.
