So that isn’t my concern.

You mean to tell me that industries sacrifice long term consequences for short term profit?!

Not against you personally, but your premise sounds like a weak bothside-ism that justifies the cycle of violence. “He did first” kind of argument. “An eye for an eye makes us all blind.” as Ghandi put it.

The most rational and objective bothside advocacy is the two-state solution. It seems like the mainstream neglect this and does not think outside the box. I understand that there is so much bad blood between Palestinians and Israelis, but if both sides realise they are blinded by rage, they could emulate the Northern Ireland peace agreement that ended the 20 year cycle of violence between the Irish nationalists and British unionists. Many scholars and activists from both Israeli and Palestinian side advocate for two state solution and a Northern Ireland-style peace agreement. It is just a matter of ordinary people to look past the rage. Israel is there to stay and advocating to rid Israel is like trying abort a baby. And Israel stepping on Palestinians is repeating what the Nazis did to them and thus Israel could not claim the higher moral ground.

There has to be a united civilian will to accept that both sides are here to stay, like the Irish nationalists and British unionists have done. But both Israeli and Palestinian sides have internal divisions and many support their own radical groups representing their own beliefs.

_Life Internet was so simple back then. None with all these fancy gadgets and instantaneous loading of porn images and videos! Just living in the moment, being patient to wait for your favourite Internet material to load for 2 hours!

I’ve always said the same thing myself: I miss the Internet just there for fun. Now they try to make a living out of it; either in good faith or scamming you.

I can’t recall the time that Americans brought the latter pitchforks against politicians for a good cause, because the January 6 insurrection does not count.

Private browsing in Google Chrome will not store your browsing data locally into your computer; but Google will still keep that data in their own records.

I don’t see any enshitiffication features and ads in Windows 11 that Lemmy and tech news are reporting. I wonder if it’s because I’m in the EU.

I read that Americans in the 1980s used to mock Japanese for working excessively; but now they became the Japanese.

Also, there is another side to this; I notice that people with crappy personal life outside of work use work as distraction. They don’t feel or see any meaning outside of work so they derive meaning from the latter instead.

If someone want to work more hours, fine, but don’t expect the same to others.

He’s just going to say invest in stocks to amplify your income.

And some people have a far worse starting point for knowledge depending on the preexisting information they were given

Exactly. As the person responded with the link on Wikipedia about existence of third genders, I find that those who are anti-lgbt were just conditioned as such because of either religion, or plain homophobia, or both. I’ve lived in both religious and non-religious countries, and the former have anti-lgbt sentiment for obvious reasons. Meanwhile, homophobia in the latter-- especially in Europe–are more motivated by sheer disgust on non-heteronormative genders and less about religion. But I still think that the anti-lgbt sentiment by many Europeans is a residue and offshoot from patriarchal and homophobic teachings of Christianity.

Exactly. In jobs they will find out if you lied about possessing skillset they require, especially if it’s a critical one.

The real problem is due to the regulatory environment. Yes those rules are important, but they’ve also effectively banned new aircraft from being built.

Should we laugh at this? Lolz? If anything regulations should encourage better safety innovations! Government wants safety and efficacy from corporations that directly affect people’s lives. Just look at Volvo and tell me their reputation isn’t known for safety.

Regulations are pain in the hole, I get it, but without it we are back to the days of selling snake oils and monopolies of the Gilded Age. As they say in my field: “Do you think compliance is expensive? Think non-compliance.” The only people discouraging regulations are the ones who stand to benefit from ridding it in the name of short term profit. STOCKS ARE UP!

I used to chat online with an emo girl in my teens. I wonder how she is doing now.

I will never understand comparing one’s self to others. You’re like comparing Xbox to PlayStation. I remember my mother comparing my siblings and I to our cousins who were hustling at a young age (looking back now as an adult, it wasn’t a good thing considering their circumstances at the time). I retorted by saying they’re different people, why should I care? Then thankfully my dad backed me up from my mom’s nonsense!

Hand gestures during speeches is a common practice to persuade people, but the flamboyant hand movements are more common with demagogues.
