Fucking horrific. This is 2024, and we’re still doing this shit? I have two - count 'em, two - LGBTQ+ kids, and I’m so goddamn glad we don’t live in a murderous shit-hole like that.

I genuinely don’t know. Could be drugs, could be he was just high on life.

I switched to Linux years ago, and have never looked back. Every computer in my house except one (my mandatory work laptop) runs some flavor of Linux, and my kids have never been forced to use Windows at all. And if I have my way, they never will.

Another Feedly user, here. Definitely the way to go after the death of Google Reader.

My only concern with it is that I’d prefer any advertisement revenue to go to the original website with the content I want. Fortunately, if the website’s ads aren’t intrusive, I just disable ad block on that site and click through to it, giving them the views they need to keep going.

Seriously doubt this (and most polling these days). Gen Z is particularly unlikely to respond to polls or answer unknown callers in general. Until those issues in polling are solved, I take them with a grain of salt.

Mountains are fine, no complaint there… but my counterpoint would be that to reach a lush, green area, I can basically just step outside my front door.

You’re not wrong about the rain, though.

…most gorgeous state in the union…

I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Utah has a certain stark appeal to it I can see, but the sheer lush greenery of my native Oregon always wins me over.

Hey, they’re making it just small enough to fit between your legs.

Utah joins 10 other states in declaring themselves shit-holes no one should think about visiting.

kescusay , 7 months ago to news in Israeli undercover forces dressed as women and medics storm West Bank hospital, killing 3 militants

Oh, jeez, you’re right. Ugh… Getting everything confused in this mess.

kescusay , 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to news in Israeli undercover forces dressed as women and medics storm West Bank hospital, killing 3 militants

Unlikely to be Israeli dissidents in a Gaza West Bank hospital, and if they were Palestinian dissidents against Hamas, it wouldn’t make any sense to target them.

And if they were journalists, we’d already be hearing about it from their publishers, as we have with other journalist killings.

The most likely scenario is that they really were members of Hamas, but that just serves to highlight that the atrocities Netanyahu’s government has otherwise engaged in have been unnecessary.

Edit: Correcting myself, because accuracy is important.

With targeted operations like this, they knew exactly who they were going after and where. That’s not a defense of Israel’s actions, just a statement that this isn’t the sort of thing they’d do to take out some random civilians.

In fact, much the opposite. This more closely resembles the sort of action Israel could have done from the beginning to take down Hamas without destroying Gaza. It would have deprived Hamas of their propaganda wins, would have kept the world firmly on Israel’s side, and would have been much more effective long-term.

Dude, non-consensual porn posted in an inappropriate community is the problem here, not sex or the human body.

kescusay , 7 months ago to nottheonion in White House calls for legislation to stop Taylor Swift AI fakes

Guys? I’m gonna go ahead and say this: You get one warning: Do not post porn here, especially links to non-consensual AI-generated porn of real people. That’s gross, it’s inappropriate for the community, it’s almost certainly against Lemmy.world’s TOS, and anyone who posts it after this warning gets a perma-ban.

Seriously. Ew.
