I spent a few years repairing medical equipment in halfway homes, psychiatric institutions, and nursing homes. All for low income people. I am definitely going to die before I ever end up in one of those shitholes. Literal hell on earth all of them. People screaming pointlessly for attention or pain relief into hallways populated only with jaded and underpaid Nigerian woman who can barely keep up because they are so understaffed.

That ethnically cleansing a native population and throwing parties outside of their concentration camp doesn’t always end great?

I’m aware.

And they aren’t even just murdering State actors. They are murdering journalists left and right from wherever. Just like aid workers and people trying to feed the Palestinians that they are starving to death on purpose.

That’s fair. People have to pick their own targets. If I ever encounter people that served in the IDF currently in the future I’ll definitely think of them as targets.

I’m with the prosecutors. This seems like some rookie journalist is just parroting the stories he’s told by a criminal before trial without providing any evidence. He could have at least talked to some scholars or lawyers or get somebody to agree but it’s really just a story that seems to be made up.

It is no different than Republicans in Congress making symbolic votes when they know that a bill will pass without their support. I could not care less about what stuff she says in a concurring opinion. It will be newsworthy when she actually rules separately from the rest of the heritage foundation appointees.

Yeah it says that he “revealed himself as a celebrity” when he isn’t one. Sounds like he was drug seeking. You see that a lott honestly. People trying to get drugs for bullshit reasons and then calling you racist if you don’t give them to them. And now there’s no further discussion of whatever medical emergency he had? lol The guy was ranting about being part of a 70-year-old doo-wop group and calling himself a celebrity and I don’t blame anybody for thinking he was crazy.

How do you think the subject of him being part of a singing group even came into the discussion when he was there for chest pain? And what happened with his medical emergency?

I mean claiming he was a celebrity pretty much did prove he was mentally ill because he’s not one though?

So this is going to be like the same thing as Reddit? Where it’s only stupid questions that the op didn’t even bother to Google?

Good Lord, I think there’s a higher percentage of spambots on Lemmy than on Reddit now.

Right? Couldn’t somebody just post “I’m Michael Anderson’s cousin and he’s full of shit” and that would balance out the original post since they are both just made up?

I don’t know what you are talking about. I have never been unable to access whatever media I wanted using nothing but a web browser for the last 20 years.

The last problem I can remember having is not being able to see season 2 of interview with a vampire on streamio because of some weird glitch. So I opened a browser and played it in like 15 seconds just by googling what I wanted to watch and Free TV.

You are right, it was an ignorant comment, born out of frustration from my day. I’ve removed it.

I keep hearing all this promotion about jellyfin but I don’t understand. Kind of the same as Plex. I get how it can be useful to share stuff with other people from your personal media library, but who cares? I can play whatever I want from a web browser in like 30 seconds. If I want it to be high quality, I’ll bother to use my real debrid account and select a high quality source. If someone is an idiot then I’ll give them streamio on a Chromecast. Nobody has explained to me what possible point there is to creating a complicated system of sharing your own files instead of just browsing the endless number of available higher quality files at will. Is this like people thinking that steam is going to remove their access from games and they need to back it up personally somehow?? I just can’t wrap my head around it because all this shit is online everywhere for free and requires zero effort…

PS : it’s means it is, it isn’t possessive.

Certainly my opinion doesn’t change the value of it. you can spend all the money you want on plastic garbage. Or by Taylor Swift records. Or buy a Tesla cyber truck.

Opinions are subjective, but you are factually purchasing pennies worth of plastic for hundreds of dollars because of some kind of nostalgic brainwashing or just general silliness.

Agree on the bag. Disagree on the currency. If Legos were used as currency then it would be totally logical if still completely stupid. Even then, there’s human labor involved in making a quality bag, but every Lego brick is exactly the same and made by a machine out of a penny’s worth of plastic.

Are you comparing mass-produced plastic machine made pieces to art? I will absolutely agree that you can make art with them, but at the end of the day we’re talking about plastic trash injected into a mold. If you want to get me to somehow defend a company that sell s plastic waste for a massive premium, it just isn’t going to happen.

What do you think would happen if you tried to sell “Legos”?

Do you think Lego would agree with you then?

What’s that like $100 worth of plastic? How is this news?
