MargotRobbie , (edited ) in SAG-AFTRA Approves Deal to End Historic Strike
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

Finally, after all these months, I’m glad we got a happy ending… for the moment (It’s not perfect, of course, but life rarely is.)

But I guess it’s time for me to get back to work.

That Oscar isn’t going to accept itself, you know.

This is what happens when we have democrats in office.

The republican party is a joke.

In the last two years Michigan has gone from being on shaky ground politically to being a stronghold for human rights and rejecting garbage. Now that Ohio is following suit with codifying abortion rights and legalizing recreational cannabis… Great Lakes region is stepping up!

Fingers crossed idiot republicans don’t try to undo the will of the people.

Absolutely brutal and completely unnecessary at that. The level of risk to everyone on that highway was never gonna be worth it just to catch some migrants.

Manjaro? I use that on my computer!

Oh, you said Mounjaro? Never mind.

Manjaro users don’t have the superiority complex required to be this prude.

It’s because they have no idea how their system actually works

This comment was made by the Real Arch Gang

DarkenLM ,

I personally know a handful of people that also don't know how the fuck Arch works but still use it.

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I was just kidding. I don’t use it myself. Those people are everywhere though, I can confirm.

DarkenLM ,

I figured.

Arch is great for people with a very extensive knowledge about the entire system, or for masochists. One wrong command and the whole thing catches on fire.

Respect for those who know how to use it and are not assholes about it, though.

turbowafflz ,

In my experience once you get it set up arch isn’t that bad. I can only really remember one time it really broke and that was when my laptop ran out of battery during a kernel upgrade (I know I should have had it configured to keep multiple kernels but for some reason I didn’t). I’m using opensuse a lot more recently though and it definitely is easier, just not by like an insane amount

Zozano ,

Getting Arch set up from scratch is a great learning experience. I recommend everyone to at least try to install it once properly, you’ll definitely come away with a better understanding of the system.

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely. I’ve tried it, it wasn’t my thing. I get it, but it’s not for me.

TWeaK , in Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 100% Clean Energy Bills Pass

By 2034, at least 60% of the energy mix will instead need to come from sources like solar and wind.

That’s a very lazy goal.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

2040 being 100%. It is a start. Don’t fight the small wins, encourage/clap for them and hopefully they will start to pile up. Make sure they know signing better bills get you votes, maybe we will eventually have good candidates and actual changes

Therealgoodjanet , in Israeli diplomat pressured US college to drop course on ‘apartheid’ debate

If that isn’t an admission…

Annoyed_Crabby ,

This actually happened before the current conflict, it’s a good read, it tell one small part of a story on how Israel have a tight grip toward any conversation toward the state.

Therealgoodjanet ,

I know, but apartheid in Israel did not just start now. It’s been going on since forever. They can deny all they want, but they keep telling on themselves. Mostly unintentional of course, but admitting regardless.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

It’s been going on since forever.

Not really tho, as Israel as a nation didn’t exist until 1948 … a mere 75 years ago. And in the beginning it was not powerful, nor able to withstand incursions from surrounding nations who didn’t want Israel to exist.

Since then it has garnered the unwaivering support of the most powerful nation on earth and has become like the brutal spoiled child, demanding everything and doing whatever it must to get it.

Therealgoodjanet ,

Of course, yes. But for most people on here ~75 yrs = forever. It was well before most of us were born. But you’re right, it started mostly in 1948.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

… it started mostly in 1948

Not to be pedantic here, but it did start in 1948 … because before that there had been no Jewish state for almost 2000 years, after Rome destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD and the Diaspora began.

Therealgoodjanet ,

It started before 1948 even, because although Israel was officially not a state until then, there was turmoil because of people moving there and wanting to start their state on occupied land. If you look at the history there was unrest around WWI already. It just escalated after 1948 because the west legitimized the existence of Israel.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

How could less than 10% of Palestine’s population cause unrest on the eve of WW1? Because there were only 80,000 Jews in Palestine then.

If you have sources saying otherwise, please post them.

Therealgoodjanet ,

The Balfour Declaration is a great place to start, here’s the Wikipedia page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

That was written after WW1 began. The link and population I provided were from pre-WW1.

So no, it’s not a good place to start.

Therealgoodjanet ,

That was not the discussion, the point of discussion was “before or after 1948”.

Karyoplasma ,

“around WWI” does not mean pre-WWI, just around that time. And 1917 is definitely around WWI.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

Ok. You’re right about that.

But the link to the Balfour is about what Britain did, not Jewish people.

Do you have any links verifying your statement that Jewish people were practicing apartheid during WW1?

Therealgoodjanet ,

Sorry, I should have been more clear; the actual apartheid started with the creation of the state of Israel (of course). The unrest, suppression, stealing of land and property, and discrimination of people started way before.

GlitzyArmrest , in China tells Britain to stop efforts to 'enhance' ties with Taiwan
@GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world avatar

Last I checked, Taiwan has been functioning without the CCP since December 1949. I think Taiwan can decide who to have ties with.

psycho_driver , in 8 dead in crash after police chased a suspected human smuggler, Texas officials say

Holy shit that was a brutal wreck. Both vehicles mostly disintegrated. I hope no kids were involved.

girlfreddy OP ,

And ofc the cops won’t say how fast they were going.

If you’re gonna be a cop and engage in behavior that endangers others, you better be able to own up to it.

pr06lefs ,

Or else what? Extra vacation?

bus_go_fast ,

you better be able to own up to it.

Why? They’re good at lying!

Because it’s what real adults do. Otherwise they’re simply announcing they’re spoiled bratty children who were never taught what responsibility means.

    rynzcycle , in Amazon lowers cost of health care plan for Prime members to $9 a month

    So I looked into it, it's NOT health insurance. It's just access to use your health insurance at their video doctors and offices (mostly in major cities). The $9pm is to cover their admin because insurance won't.

    My PCP already has a pretty good portal, and I've not had any issues getting prescriptions filled, why would I pay extra for access when everyone else gives that for free?
