Teleprompters and boisterous crowds doing heavy lifting.

Last night he had to use his brain. Today he had to read teleprompters and smile. They are both work, but one is much more automatic. Loss of cognition that comes with age isn't consistent, it ebbs and flows. We're going to see more of this, I hoped that we would see a sober recognition of these facts today outside of the speech he did not write. The admission felt like they were pasting over what happened instead of acknowledging that blood is in the water. Yeah go vote but it sure would be nice to have a President with cognition instead of these two geriatric fellas.

YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead

Generally medical professionals do not vouch for using milk for tear gas despite it often being touted. The research seems to suggest they are largely the same in providing relief...

Milk of magnesia is a common first aid go-to in edit:those situations in my experience. Good to know.

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? ( old.lemmy.world )

An interesting aside that you probably know: corned beef and cabbage is a distinctly Irish-American tradition. The Irish were economically forced to raise cattle for corned beef for British folks. Despite raising and curing the beef, they could not afford it and subsisted on potatoes. Britain's wealth and insatiable appetite for corned beef was so immense that those who made it could not afford the price. On the other hand, the reliance on potatoes for subsistence during this period as well as its outcome is well known.

The whole reason the Irish subsisted on potatoes was that the corned beef they were wage slave raising and producing was to be eaten only by English and French folks that could afford the extravagant costs. Another type of corned beef was here already in the US. It was the Jewish kosher corned beef that became synonymous with Irish American culture.

Hasn't changed US foreign policy for decades, so yeah probably not. From arming to giving Israel protection in the UN, the US is all in on Palestinian genocide. The US does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC because the court could be used for "political reasons". This goes back to the creation of the ICC, which the Clinton admin helped to form but then vote against. Israel, Russia, Israel, China, Libya, and Qatar are the only countries who do not recognize the jurisdiction of the court. There is a through line on why they don't: it is because of what they have already done and continue to do that would levy charges at the court. In fact the US has the American Service Members Protection Act to make cooperation with the court next to impossible.

TL:DR; the US has been complicit in Palestinian genocide since Eisenhower.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back ( www.windowscentral.com )

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

People without a state fighting for their right to be a state shoots rockets at country that they are at war with.

Kiev shoots rockets into Russia and everyone gets it.

I'm anti-war as much as the next person but I can understand that a besieged people will act like they are under seige.

You're living in fantasy land. Israel is wiping Palestinians off the planet, actions > words. Israel is guilty of Hamas and Israels actions according to your own logic.

There is absolutely equivalence, both are besieged and their actions are understandable at the state level. Fight back to your oppressors.

apfelwoiSchoppen ,
@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

I did not say that and wouldn't. Israel created the conditions for Hamas to come to power.

Eh, internet points are not real. Much of the conversation devolves into purity of tactics for a people who attack their subjugators. Decades of subjugation and genocide are irrelevant but we will overanalyze the actions of the oppressed as society always does.

We need hardware requirements so that not just pixel phones can get grapheneOS. Giving into Google hardware to escape Google software is a step I don't want to take. I'll take calyxOS or divestOS until then.

Pentagon says none of the aid unloaded from US pier off coast of Gaza has been delivered to broader Palestinian population ( www.cnn.com )

None of the aid that has been unloaded from the temporary pier the US constructed off the coast of Gaza  has been delivered to the broader Palestinian population, as the US works with the UN and Israel to identify safe delivery routes inside the enclave, the Pentagon said on Tuesday....

They seek Palestinian annihilation. Two state solution? If they ever cared about that it was only superficial.

Because wedding dresses are white and an old famous fuddy dutty racist said it.

apfelwoiSchoppen , (edited )
@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

No, she's wrong period. The color of wedding dresses has a misogynist history. Traditional is a bit tinged here. Who the fuck cares what dress color some person wears? In this case it was a racist misogynist with a lot of power and sway.

I've a great many folks in my time have second weddings there are lots of white dresses. The only people who give a shit about that deserve the dust bin of history and when mentioned; mentioned as farce.

Less loss from transmission, less habitat destruction. It is really win-win.

    Rapid climate change inducers

    apfelwoiSchoppen , (edited )
    @apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

    Thanks for the FYI. Yes I know. Destroying ecosystems and habitats for thousands of square miles of this unlimited expansion of development absolutely does not help reverse climate change. And heating and cooling these gigantic cubic foot spaces is an additional burden on our energy systems and carbon footprints. Especially as we race towards another catastrophic extinction filter.

    UN CPPCG Genocide Article 2 defines genocide as:

    ... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:

    Definition C:

    Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.

    Meanwhile Biden is really hand wringing about this as he readies yet another 1 billion dollar military package for Israel.

    Recognition, restoration, reparation.

    If you have a statement that begins with "I'm not racist but …", that is your first sign that you are being racist. Living in apartments always comes with a high likelihood of noise. It is an unfortunate fact and has absolutely nothing to do with race.

    Google juices reddit posts now so no need to throw that shit in anymore. There were recent news articles about it coming from the antitrust case against the company. Now many folks use "-reddit" for how bad reddit is these days clogging up search.
