As a mobile user, I’m just stuck with the stock YouTube app.

I do miss Vanced :-(

Rays against the abolition of time

If we are going to shed tears for the loss of culture, then the loss of Roman era bath houses and early Christian churches in Gaza is quite a bit more concerning to me than this painting.

I fail to see how Israel or Netanyahu has any leverage over the USA to simply not veto a UN resolution that all other Western countries either support or abstain on.

A US vote against (without veto) or an abstention is entirely within his power to do.

Also, sidestepping Congress to deliver military aid to Israel is also not something that can be blamed on anyone else than Biden.

One thing I have definitely observed over the years.

It seems only the left comes up with new ideas and so, even when they don’t have political power, they still move society forward.

And yes, there are backlash and temporary regressions, but overall, no free country seems to be moving towards old, conservative ideas.

For humanity, the only way seems forward. Towards the newer and better ideas.

I don’t think saving money and eating at home are conservative values.

Lots of liberals and progressives do those things, too.

Heck, poor minorities do that to an extreme.

Same here. I got older and richer and became even more left wing than I used to be.

But what is true, is that society is becoming more progressive faster than I am, so by the time I am 70, I’ll probably be a relative relic.

Waiting for SBF to respond to this.

They are probably eating everything they can find, considering they are living under famine. If there is a bag of popcorn in Gaza, they will eat it.

But I agree, this doesn’t look like popcorn to me.

RIP Navalny.

I remember him flying back from Germany to Russia after the poisoning. Watching Ricky & Morty with his wife.

Very brave, but incomprehensibly stupid.

If ever there was a person who had a justified claim to political asylum, it was him.

I learned this back in the 90s, I’m surprised new research is needed.

The solution seems to be LED lighting. The right LED bulbs don’t trigger the bug brains.

Edit to add source (below) and I forget the detail: it’s about using LEDs with less blue light, since blue light affects the bugs.

I presume Blinken means Netanyahu with “he”? Or does he mean himself, Blinken?

Because Netanyahu is a genocidal psychopath who doesn’t feel any remorse for any of the victims of Oct 7th, the hostages or the civilians in Gaza. He just wants ethnically cleansed land.

Blinken, I do believe, will feel guilty for supporting these atrocities.

Heck, one of our longest serving Christian democratic prime Ministers was an ardent supporter of Israel during his time in power, but really felt guilty afterwards.

I, too, feel guilty for having ever been supportive of Israel. It’s just not right.

It’s not necessary for the person to be the sole target.

By comparing the persons DNA to 2 or 3 relatives in a database, it’s quite easy to identify whose DNA you have, or at least narrow it down to a few potentials. (E.g. the DNA is from a male that is a cousin of X by the male line and nephew of Y by the female line).

It really does seem like Trump is mentally preparing himself and his followers for a big loss.

Let’s not forget, this is exactly how we ended segregation in the US and Apartheid in South Africa.

Activism works. Let your voice be heard.

This is also why bad actors fill sites like reddit with bots, to try and control the public narrative.

But bots can’t vote. Bots can’t demonstrate. Bots can’t boycott.

And also kudos to Lemmy and Lemmy mods for keeping this place relatively free from bots.

Excellent. One step in the right direction. Good guy Germany.

Ehh, you might want to read about the origins of the bakers dozen.

Shrinkflation has been a feature of humanity for a long time, probably ever since we started trading goods.

It’s just easier to give less when your buyer would prefer that to paying a higher price.
