Starkstruck , in Blue checks aren't protecting sex workers from X's porn crackdown

Tumblr users fled to Twitter after the porn ban, now Twitter is making the same mistake.

tallwookie ,

is it a mistake? why cant sex workers create their own platform? too much work?

archiotterpup ,

Yes. They’re not developers for a reason.

Oh yeah, give it to me, ohh, ohhhh, OHHH YEAH

Wait why the hell does it still say ‘critical error at line 5176’ HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THIS SHIT?! It was so much easier when I just boned people.

SheeEttin ,

Semicolon.

Sharkwellington ,

They prefer to be fucked over at work in a different way.

emax_gomax ,

This is such a bizarre point. Why does anyone try to use existing services when they can just make their own. Go dig a well for water and build your own dam for hydroelectric power.

Rooty ,

Deplatforming is bad when one of left’s sacred cows gets targeted.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you, due to passing your purity test of being both on the right and against deplatforming are saying you now disagree with Musk’s interpretation of free speech and are now denouncing him due to his deplatforming of sex workers. Right?

Rooty ,

I really don’t care about either of them, I find it funny how the argument “free speech only applies to the government” goes flying out the window when somebody we like gets booted of a privately owned platform. And criticising certain parts of leftist rhetoric does not automatically make me a right winger

duckCityComplex , in Democrats refuse to help GOP out of House speaker mess, trashing Jim Jordan as an 'insurrectionist'

At the risk of sounding like a hopeless optimist… Wouldn’t it make sense for the Republicans to nominate more of a centrist with promises to work on common ground with the Democrats (whatever narrow terrain that may consist of now) and thereby sideline the MAGA crew to irrelevancy?

Yeah they would take a lot of heat from Trump & co., but maybe they could actually pass something for their constituents.

mrcleanup ,

On the one hand, yes, but the Republicans made it so any one person can call for a vote to oust the speaker, so it only takes one unhappy rep to restart the cycle.

So I think the current plan is to just sit back and let the American people see that the current batch of Republican reps has as much ability to work together as a bag of weasels until the Republicans are willing to actually admit that they fucked up and ask for help fixing it.

So this could take a year to resolve.

leds ,

But wouldn’t a moderate speaker supported by the majority from both parties easily survive a vote like that?

mrcleanup ,

I’m sure we will find out. It sounds good in theory, but I’m not sure how many true moderates may be left. We seem to be in a “compromise is weakness stage”

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Their “moderates” were the anti-Trumpers.

They got primaried and voted out.

S_204 , in Israel Gaza live news: Children among dead after strike hits Palestinian convoy - BBC News

Reminder Hamas lied to Gazans and told them the warnings from Israel were fake.

Hamas NEEDS human shields for the pr.

This is the pr. The blood of those people are on Hamas’ hands. They don’t care about civilian life.

Israel is not going to stop until Hamas has been eliminated. Hamas is going to kill as many civilians as they possibly can to delay that from happening.

clearleaf ,

Israel bombed the exit while people were trying to leave and they bombed a civilian convoy while people were trying to leave. They also bombed ambulances that were helping people who got bombed while trying to leave. If Hamas’s claim was that Israel would bomb people trying to leave, then that turned out to be the truth and the warnings from Israel really were fake.

S_204 ,

The ambulance they bombed was stolen from the kibbutz in Israel. That’s more Hamas propaganda.

Can you link me to a verified source on the bombing of the convoy? Haven’t seen anything other than Al Jazeera which obviously isn’t reliable in this situation.

clearleaf ,

What are sources that you do trust?

S_204 ,

I’m looking for sources that aren’t actively funded by supporters of the conflict. Al Jazeera, jpost et al aren’t helpful right now.

shunir ,

So no sources, just “trust me bro”?

S_204 ,

Did you read this chain or are you just fucking retarded?

He made the claim, I’M THE ONE asking for a reputable source, pointing out that Al Jazeera and their like aren’t reliable.

Give me some AP, or even the fucking BBC and I’ll engage. Otherwise, bro go get fucked and learn how to read.

shunir ,

First things first. Seems like my comment chain got messed up and I answered you, but whatever.

Next one, GTFO with your ad hominem bro.

Lastly here’s a BBC link. Is that good enough?

S_204 ,

Ad hominem? You’re an idiot who’s just going around picking fights responding to the wrong comments.

Secondly your source isnt bad so thanks for finding but in terms of validity I’m holding out for verification… when there’s reputable information indicating Hamas did this themselves now coming out. Which considering their demonstrated lack of regard for human life wouldn’t be surprising once it’s confirmed.

You can go back to arguing with whoever else you’re arguing with. I’m blocking your dumbass, no need to waste time with morons.

NOT_RICK , in The NHL bans Pride Tape, setting off a backlash from players and fans
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I’m really mad I learned Provorov is a homophobe after I got his jersey. The NHL is spineless

nocturne213 ,

I am not a sports person (other than the occasional soccer match), but aren’t all of them (nhl, nfl, nba, mlb) spineless?

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

MLB has been pretty good LGBT support wise and the NBA is pretty good too minus some of their China hand waving. At the end of the day they’re all corporate and thus amoral but I still think there’s a spectrum in terms of actions, even if the motive is financial.

pdxfed ,

NBA is the leader. Not perfect but far and away the best.

TAG ,
@TAG@lemmy.world avatar

The NBA tries to be “woke” to appeal to the kids. They pushed out a team owner who was openly racist. They don’t seem to tolerate racist and homophobic jears from fans.

Most of the players are black, so they don’t expect them not to comment on BLM or to all stand for the national anthem. They have had some problems with players being anti-Semitic, they have punished them enough to get them to keep their mouth shut.

surewhynotlem ,

Sell it. It’ll lose them a sale, and you won’t need to keep it.

Will those easily work for other vaccines? Or would it need a separate trial for each type?

ChicoSuave , in Journalists hit as Israel fired at Lebanon were clearly marked as press, CNN analysis shows

I know Israel is some kind of diplomatic darling but killing Innocents and moving into their homes makes it hard to take their side. Killing in retribution usually is hard to align with.

Calm down, Yahweh.

This is my view on Jerusalem. Abrahamic religions can get fucked. If you three can’t share your toys they should be taken away.

Show me on the Christianity where it says death to all non-believers…

Riccosuave ,
@Riccosuave@lemmy.world avatar

Sure it says is right here:

Deuteronomy 13: 6-11

6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.

tym ,

Yeah, but like, show me some real examples in 2023. Because we’re looking at a movement in Hamas that literally wants all non-believers executed. Lime, show me the equivalent Christian or any other denomination equivalent of what Hamas leadership put out a few days ago. Radival Islam’s “take no prisoners” approach to its proliferation is at odds with civilized society. Weapons tech is catching up with this problem though. Going to be an interesting future.

Ookami38 ,

Niiiice you installed the movable goalposts!

tym ,

Let me be most-clear: crusades are back on the menu and I have non-muslim daughters these savages would just love to rape and torture should they advance their jihad far enough to make it to our soil.

Fuck them all… I’d say bomb them into the stone age but they’re already there. Any further questions? These goalposts have been firmly planted for a millenia.

Ookami38 ,

show me on the Christianity where…

Shows

Ok but not like that

Moving goalposts. Pretty clear, and also a pretty disgusting view.

InternetCitizen2 ,

That is the 2023 example, unless the Bible is no longer relevant?

tym ,

Which sect leader is citing the Bible on record as an excuse to wipe out an entire religion again?

See my other comment. If raping and killing non-muslim babies is their game and I have said non-muslim babies at home, I say wipe them off the fucking planet. Clear enough? A good defense is a good offense. I fully support Israel since apparently that’s the only way to save non-muslim children.

clearleaf ,

Why are you trying to compare it to Christianity at all? They practice Judaism in Israel.

Daqu ,

They do WHAT? Those heretics should step on Legos.

Riccosuave ,
@Riccosuave@lemmy.world avatar

First, I think all organized religion is at best regressive, and at worst completely at odds with creating the ideal model for society. This is doubly true for ALL Abrahamic religions including their various sub-divisions or denominations. They all either overlook, condone, or outright support the abhorrent morally bankrupt prescriptions made by their respective holy books and leaders up to and including their “god”.

With that being said, let’s not act like there is any religion that comes even close to rivaling Christisnity for the total amount of violence, war, and collateral damage caused in its name. Let’s also not act like there aren’t ongoing attempts by Christian Nationalists in the United States to erase the last century of social progress the second they gain any political power.

Ultimately though, what matters in this conversation though is that you formulated a premise that I then destroyed. So then you decided to shift the conversation, and out yourself as a bigot in the process. If you have legitimate objections against Islam that’s one thing, but you’re calling for the same kind of violent ethnic cleansing that you think makes Muslim extremists “savages”.

So, what does that say about you? It says you are a hypocrite, a moron, and nobody should take you seriously because you care more about acting tough on the internet than coming up with anything of intellectual substance to discuss.
