“Complete Dehumanization”: Israel Killed Over 800 Palestinians in 11 Days (truthout.org)

From June 1 to June 11, Israeli forces killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded over 2,400 as they carried out bombardments and raids across Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported. This is an average of over 72 Palestinians killed each day at the hands of Israeli forces....

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

StaySquared ,

Side note:

It’s apparent that the U.S. has invested into this war beyond just funding / weapons. In the recent massacre, there were reports from Palestinians that U.S. soldiers were presently injuring and killing people. It appears that Hamas was right all along regarding that aid dock/pier. It wasn’t for aid.

StaySquared , (edited )

Wat. If Hamas wanted Palestinians to starve… then why is it the Israelis that were stopping aid trucks and destroying the aid packages? Why wasn’t Hamas destroying the aid trucks?

For one, Israel is the leading global recipient of Title 22 U.S. security assistance under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.

There’s multiple reports stating that the naval pier constructed by US forces on Gaza’s shore was used in the attack on the Nuseirat, with ground forces launching from this pier. And witnesses reporting that U.S. soldiers breeching homes/buildings during the attack.

You claim that Hamas spreads “obvious” propaganda, yet it is Israel who has pushed the most atrocious propaganda and all of it was a lie, all of it. And the U.S. government is just as complicit, especially for trying to take down TikTok, trying to push the anti-semitism bill/law in the U.S., violating our first amendment right, outlawing BDS in some of the states in the U.S., again violating our first amendment right (that’s three acts of treason against the U.S. Constitution) and each congressman/woman, at least on the republican side, having AIPAC handlers. Each one apparently has an assigned Israeli whispering into the ears of our representatives.

Btw, seems like Netanyahu was right, Americans are easy to control.

That’s cool… I have a whole bottle (smelling salts) of it in powder form in case I need to pop off a personal record in one of my exercises.

Probably an accusation created by the FBI because Rammstein made a song about America. /shrug

StaySquared ,

Here’s an amazing idea… how about we unite against the government and demand it stop spending our cot damn fkin money and especially stealing our money and exporting it to chit hole nations?

How about we do THAT first.

No… I have a feeling OP is a bootlicking government slave. Hey OP, for how long has your union forced you to vote democrat/marxist?

StaySquared ,

Amazing… so Lemmy users love government and love the way it spends us into further debt.

Got it.

StaySquared ,

All of them. Especially those who claim they don’t need America, yet beg for our money whenever they need it.

It doesn’t matter the amount we give to other nations. We, the citizens of this country, need it. That’s not even including the spending our government does for stupid researches… like animals on cocaine and how they behave. WTF?

StaySquared ,

It’s all going to plan. It’s why they prime us with movies about modern day civil wars, AI killer robots, and government overthrows.

StaySquared ,

Nah I’m good.

I currently drive on a daily basis a Toyota Corolla… I purchased it for the sake of saving as much money as possible overall with said vehicle. I’m 6’0 245lbs - not obese mind you… and I’m genuinely tired of getting in and out of that car. Absofkinlutely NO way am I buying another sedan. Next vehicle is a big boy full sized SUV or pickup truck. I want to climb into my vehicle not damn near tear my knee just trying to get into my vehicle.

StaySquared ,

Damn that’s crazy. I also own a Honda Odyssey (Mini-van) and that has a lot of room. I’ve driven in Yukons, Suburbans, Tahoes, Sierras, and Escalades, all of these vehicles feel incredibly roomy. However, I’d rather stick to Toyota, just haven’t gotten into a Tundra or Sequoia.

StaySquared ,

How the hell do you get into your car? If I get into my Corolla without bending my other knee like I’m trying to tear ligaments and tendons, opposing knee will smash into my steering wheel.

StaySquared ,

I do mobility work for sure. In the realm of powerlifting, it’s necessary. Otherwise injuries will definitely occur sooner or later, regardless of the weight.

StaySquared ,

Damn son, I’m not old haha

StaySquared ,

Well for a few reasons. Bulk groceries (Sam’s club / Costco), we use the van for that. Same thing when I need to purchase large items from hardware stores. Or even transport large items. But yeah, the way I get into my car, I have to bend my left knee in such a way that it sometimes produces a sharp pain in the inside of my knee. If I try to get into the driver seat like a woman, which is butt in first rather than right leg in first, I end up hitting the top/back part of my head on the top door frame.

If it was an integrity issue with my knee(s), I wouldn’t be squatting 500lbs+.

StaySquared ,

Okay, I’m a boomer. A boomer that in hopefully a couple years (when the market gets back to normal) will finally own a truck <3

StaySquared ,

LOL.

StaySquared ,

I sit at about 13% bodyfat at this weight, per DEXA scan. At 230lbs, I sit at the lower end of 9% bodyfat. Or at least that’s what it was last year. Once a year I lean out then get a DEXA scan done to compare percentages of bodyfat vs muscle mass, this gives me an idea, on paper, if my muscle mass has increased or not.

StaySquared ,

So I’m not strictly a powerlifter. My first 15 years of gym training was for the sake of size (bodybuilding), once I reached a certain size I decided to move onto powerlifting for the sake of strength. However, in order to maintain my size I mix both powerlifting with bodybuilding, or what we call, “powerbuilding”. After two years of strict powerlifting, I noticed smaller muscle groups were getting outshined by other muscle groups and it was causing not just visual imbalances / asymmetry but also strength and stability imbalances (the heavier the weight the more strength you need in all working muscles and these muscles also need to keep me stabilized throughout the movement) which was impacting my bench press for example.

So at best, I can promise you, I’m not obese. Obese for me would be entering about 25% BF, which would push my weight to around 270lbs if not a little more than that.

I don’t know why they’re trying to shove AI down our throats. They need to take their time, allow it to evolve.

StaySquared ,

Car tech today spies on you. Manufacture of said car collects that data and then sells it to lexisnexis, who then sells that data to auto insurance companies. Which in turn analyze the data and determine to upcharge you for your driving.

They’ll never lower the rate, they’ll just keep raising it until you finally become a pirate and drive dirty.

Thanks Ford, for your American patriotism. Fker.

StaySquared ,

Oh for sure you’ll have to move to another insurance company to hopefully get a better rate. But your current insurance company, never ever lowers the rate unless you had tickets in the recent past and those tickets fell off your record. That’s the only time I’ve ever experience my rate lower and it was roughly $40 less per month.

StaySquared ,

Yeah supposedly we in the U.S. have this… but it’s BS. Or maybe the option does exist but I was never given a discount with a clean driving record of 8 years.

StaySquared ,

Don’t do it. It’s a bait and switch. You’ll get the initial discount, then you brake hard one day because someone cuts you off… and next thing you know your rate goes up. Also if your take a turn too fast. If you speed. If you accelerate hard (RPMs go above normal range).

StaySquared ,

Honestly… when I was doing my research, for the power consumption and the flexibility of Raspberry Pi, nothing came close to it, at least not at the time (2016). Since then, I’ve never even bothered to look at it’s competition.

StaySquared ,

If you play close attention to the "power’ of your toilets flush… you’ll notice when it’s getting close to a clog. That flush will make you second guess something isn’t right. And if your neglect it, you will sooner or later realize it was in fact on its way to clog.

Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit (www.theregister.com)

HR software biz BambooHR surveyed more than 1,500 employees, a third of whom work in HR. The findings suggest the return to office movement has been a poorly-executed failure, but one particular figure stands out - a quarter of executives and a fifth of HR professionals hoped RTO mandates would result in staff leaving....

StaySquared ,

That’s not what happened in many orgs in California. If you didn’t RTO, you were terminated.

StaySquared ,

Literally good for you, eh?

Masturbate right before gym, then go train. Note how your performance was. Especially if its a squat or a deadlift day.

Note down what time you went to sleep, when you woke up, and every meal you ate (all calories, including macros).

Now refrain from masturbation from that day until the next session you have of the same exercise, make sure you go to sleep within the same time the night before, wake the same time the day of training, and eat the same exact meals, go train the same exact exercise, same sets, reps, and weight. Note your performance.

yeah yeah down vote me.

StaySquared ,

Interestingly if I refrain from ejaculation, the longer I go, the more aggressive my performance is. I was in the camp that it was all BS. This was in my late teens and early 20s. I decided to test this claim after a gym owner/coach/professional bodybuilder gave me his thoughts on his personal journey into gym training, explaining that he would not ejaculate 1 week prior to a set of specific exercises he had planned to PR (hit a new personal record).

I’ve gone so far from refraining to ejaculate (about 6 weeks) that I would literally urinate a mixture of urine and ejaculate - without the orgasm. Reaching this far into refraining, my aggression and focus was noticeable. More interestingly and may have been coincidental, but refraining from ejaculation even eliminated joint pain I had in my elbows from heavy bench and overhead pressing. I’m including this because apparently there’s people who have arthritis (of some sort) and after ejaculation, their arthritis flares up immediately after.

I personally don’t care if people want to call it a myth, but if you’re an athlete, you compete, or simply take weight training seriously, you should maybe test out said myth for yourself.

I joked with my wife that I couldn’t break a 685lbs deadlift, I hit a plateau there - 4 times in a row (4 different sessions) until I decided to refrain from sex for 10 days leading up to my next deadlift session where I was able to smoothly pull a 690, so smooth I debated to go after the 700 (my next milestone) but decided to save it for another time.

StaySquared ,

Last nearly forever? That needs to be broken down into details. Aren’t batteries for EV limited to about 10 years of use? And they’re a costly replacement?

A good solution would be to make EV batteries easily swappable instead of “charge stations”…

20-30 years for rubber…

You have way too much confidence. Have you owned a car for 10+ years? Almost everything rubber - especially within the suspension system needs replacement within the first 10 years of wear and tear.

StaySquared ,

Lots of companies jumping the gun… laying off so many people only to realize they’re going to need those people back. AI is still in its infancy, using it to replace an actual human is a dumb dumb move.

Can Adobe be used on a machine that’s sandboxed / offline? That way you can do your projects while disconnected from their servers, once the project is complete, just move your files onto an external drive and away from Adobe access?

StaySquared ,

Hm… I wouldn’t think you’d need a VM, rather just disable your ethernet card, disable/disconnect wifi, or unplug ethernet cable.

StaySquared ,

Ha… This is true.

There’s only been one company that I had worked for almost 4 years. Every company I’ve ever worked for, on my second year I check the job market, if it looks good I start to submit my resume with the goal to get job offers that offer either more pay or more PTO/sick time/holidays (more time off combined). Take my job offer, present it to my employer, then just leave to the other org because more than likely I’ll have a target on my back when it comes time to cut employees / lay off.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

StaySquared ,

Semi-O/T

There’s censorship just for having a different opinion. When you challenge someone’s belief in any subject… or just simply have a disagreement, you’re getting banned. Lemmy is following in the foot steps of Reddit in the sense that it appears that the left/progressives want to be segregated and keep the division. No dialogue, no meeting in the middle… just ban anyone who threatens their bubble.

StaySquared ,

Bingo.

I honestly thought it was more along the lines of they read a comment/post from another community that they didn’t like, more than likely checked their history and then decided to ban them.

StaySquared ,

I have no idea what you’re suggesting… but just about the entire non-western world laughs at Reddit-type leftists because they can’t come to terms with reality. So much so they (Reddit-type leftists) refuse vehemently to acknowledge that it is their feelings that they’re putting before facts of life. Refuse facts, refuse reality.

This is supposed to be the 2nd and final Nakba, annexing the entire Palestinian territory. With the goal of expanding Israel into Greater Israel. This goal will never end until the elimination and illegalization of Zionism. It doesn’t matter what the U.S. politicians say. BDS is the only first step.

StaySquared ,

Just like Nazism? Yeah, no thanks, right? derp.

StaySquared ,

Democracy in of itself is corrupt. It’s why many nations don’t want it and why Western powers have to bomb or coerce Democracy into other nations.

Let me be clear, I love Capitalism. I wish everyone in a Capitalist society would become wealthy from their hard work. I hate lobbyists and interests groups. And I hate governments who dk suck lobbyists for their personal gains rather than the prosperity of its citizens.

StaySquared ,

I could be wrong, but I thought Elon had a campaign to eliminate bots from X? Not sure if that ever took place though or if it’s in the process of.

StaySquared ,

No one knows. Apparently all the bigots on X are the bots.

That’s the best that has been done /shrug

Plus, who really gives a fk about X if you’re not even using X? I don’t know why the hardon for the community size of X.
