Thanks. Clear up a few things.

I’m completely lost. Can someone fill me on what the hell is going on?

Now, now Bibi. You wouldn’t want to be compared to an Austrian art school dropout that orchestrated the death of some your ancestors now would you?

The thing that I love most about Lemmy and the wider Fediverse is the sense of actual community. Many of the users feel like actual people I could meet in real life. It’s essentially a digital cafe. Sure as hell not going back to Reddit or those other shit Big Tech sites.

-Unrest in the Middle East as Israel and Palestine refuse to reconcile

-2 years on, the war in Ukraine has no end in sight

-The climate crisis keeps getting worse

-America debates how to categorize Mexican food

No love for GMOs?

I know that I’m 9 days late but thank you for the tip.

Wouldn’t depriving someone of their right to their preferred identity be considered a threat to human dignity?

Cristofacists looking at this and thinking to themselves: “We can one up them”

People are actually dying from this conflict and the first thing you guys do is argue behind your fucking keyboards about two shitty publications and a fake story?

Bibi over here testing the limits of Godwin’s Law. Keep it up you fucking genocidal scum!

In the future, people will remember William Gibson as a prophet.

This was possibly the worst waste of my time. Five minutes of pure CCP worship. Wrong on so many levels. And they have the gall to drag the Israel-Palestine conflict into this fucking trite.

Literal bullshit. Who would have thought?

Regardless where you stand on the political spectrum, I think we can all agree that this is deserving of sanctions.

How about for full album downloads?

Key word: directly. Banks may say that they won’t fund fossil fuels but doesn’t mean the money will disappear. Someone else can get the money for them. What Barclays has essentially done is add extra step for oil companies to get their financing. Remember people, banks and corporations are not are our friends. Anytime they claim to take up a social cause - be it climate action, LGBT issues or what have you- it is not for our benefit but for the benefit of their bottom line.

This is the oldest trick in the book: Scream ‘victim’ while doing horrible shit.

While I don’t wish death on the man (or anybody for that matter regardless of how I feel about them), Charles has been known to promote pseudoscience and quackery to the general public. It would be highly hypocritical of him to use mainstream medicine when he promoted utter nonsense to commoners. But, again, I don’t wish for his death; I would be an insensitive asshole for wishing otherwise. He is human after all.

My philosophy goes like this: Pay for the hardware, get the content for free.
