Thank you for taking the time to write this out so eloquently.

World demands end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine in landslide UN vote (geopoliticaleconomy.com)

The vast majority of the world voted at the UN General Assembly to demand an end to Israel’s unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory within 12 months, with 124 countries (64%) in favor, 14 (7%) against, and 43 (22%) abstentions....

Can you counter point it rather than just saying ‘not thinking’? From these comments you’re coming off as the not thinking one.

It makes sense that Ukraine would cosy up to USA if USA has something Ukraine needs, no?

thetreesaysbark ,

Hmm, I’d be wary to parents taking advantage of this.

It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes

On an individual basis sure, but this still poses two problems:

  1. Is there a group of people that typically vote a certain who are prone to having more children than other groups. Due to different cultures, this is likely true.
  2. Why should parents of children get an extra vote over those who can’t have children? Personally I feel that having had children should bear no influence on the power of your voice.

What’s this thing recently about using ‘im too autistic too…’ or 'because of my autism '?

It feels like people are using this like we’ve used ‘retarded’ in the past.

Kinda sucks.

thetreesaysbark ,

Sucks for those who genuinely can’t have it though, and rely on herd immunity

updoots encourages circlejerk

I mean, making a post about hating on Reddit, on Lemmy, is pretty circlejerky too at this point.

Or cook a big batch of your own soup at the weekend. Then microwave it for lunch.

If Microsoft are worried about Linux now, imagine what they’ll feel once it activates!

What hobby are you slipping out of but don't really know it? (kbin.melroy.org)

Mine is video games. Like, I've sworn to myself that I was going to cling to that until at least 10 or 15 years while I still have the cognitive ability to play them. But it's mid-30s and they say the 30s is generally where your love for video games go to die unless you're in the industry or having some working part involving...

I started playing chess on lichess, it has tonnes of tutorials and an AI you can set the level of. Really helped scratch my itch.

thetreesaysbark ,

Probably almost definitely overall a wholesome story.

I think the kids morally ambiguous situation was better than the situation their parents were putting them in so it’s a net win.

Whilst I don’t want to argue about whether the appreciation of people in your life should be encouraged by a celebration day, I would like to point out that holidays aren’t specific to appreciating people . They can also be for appreciating things , such as natural phenomenon.

Personally I’d prefer winter and summer type celebrations on the equinox and solstice than Christmas and a seemingly random (in my country) public holiday at a point in the summer where it isn’t that warm anymore.

thetreesaysbark ,

I’m not a cake lover, but I’m upvoting this because this food is really well put together and actually looks good!

thetreesaysbark ,

Huh… So you’re telling me ring if fire isn’t just from octonauts?

thetreesaysbark ,

I’m downvoting, but this still makes more sense than the post did.

thetreesaysbark ,

Triforce (by Yogscast guys) is excellent.

It’s just three funny, kinda nerdy, guys chatting shit. No scripting. Minimal ads. Funny stuff.

thetreesaysbark ,

I was fully expecting one of the steps to just be the guy jizzing in to the bowl Xd

thetreesaysbark ,

Yeah this is what irked me.

thetreesaysbark ,

Am I not thinking properly yet or is it weird that northern hemisphere summer makes the world so much warmer than southern hemisphere summer?

Is it just because these measurements are taken on land and there’s more land mass in the northern hemisphere?

thetreesaysbark ,

Do you know if this is at the chrome or chromium level?

thetreesaysbark ,

There are many people in a government, and different people pull in different directions.

Regardless of other policies, this is a step in the right direction.

thetreesaysbark ,

I guess this is more motivation for that offensive in Russia.

If you think the couches are big in the US, just think what Putin is cushing up to each night…

Olympians are turning to OnlyFans to fund dreams as they face a 'broken' finance system (apnews.com)

Dire financial straits are leading droves of Olympic athletes to sell images of their bodies to subscribers on OnlyFans — known for sexually explicit content — to sustain their dreams of gold at the Games. As they struggle to make ends meet, a spotlight is being cast on an Olympics funding system that watchdog groups condemn...

thetreesaysbark , (edited )

I thought the point being made here is that they should be making enough money to not have to resort to Only fans.

What does whether they’re getting it on in camp or not have to do with this article?

Ukraine ambushes Russian convoy in Kursk as Kremlin declares emergency (www.theguardian.com)

Ukrainian forces staged an overnight ambush on a Russian convoy 25 miles inside the international border in Russia’s Kursk province, as the Kremlin declared a federal emergency and said it was transferring extra forces to try to snuff out a four-day incursion that has badly damaged its credibility....

thetreesaysbark ,

They also have very little perceived military strength at this point, right? Apart from their nukes I guess.

thetreesaysbark ,

What’s your alternative?

Elon Musk brands Starmer 'two-tier Keir' and asks 'is this Britain or Soviet Union?' over Facebook comment arrest video (news.sky.com)

Elon Musk has ramped up his row with the UK as he branded the prime minister “two-tier Keir” and questioned if it was “Britain or the Soviet Union” after a man was apparently arrested over Facebook comments....

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s also a Russia sympathiser and is in someway benefiting from spreading discontent in the west.

Or in a similar vein, just gets paid to do shit.

thetreesaysbark ,

Whilst I agree ‘left-centre’ by USA standards is going to be different from other places in the world. I have to concede that this community is created for a US audience in that no internal US news is allowed.

If I’m right about the above, that would mean it make sense for this bot to be basing it’s data on how a US person would see it.

thetreesaysbark ,

*arse

thetreesaysbark ,

Less likely to leave or it made no difference, I guess.

It could also be that with the previous government only 10% were considering leaving.

thetreesaysbark ,

Well that was strangely coherent. Still more words than necessary mind.

thetreesaysbark ,

I just had a quick look. What territory did they lose in 2004?

Is your present emotional state part of your present conscious self awareness?

This is a deep meta question; not the response you give others. When you ask yourself, “how do I feel,” is that answer you synthesize, the answer you draw from the edge of your conscious and unconscious self; is this answer a reference to the immediately preceding past of your inner experience, or is the answer from some...

thetreesaysbark ,

How do I feel?

Usually with my fingers :)

But more seriously, there are depths to how I feel. An easy example of this is how I feel in a moment vs how I feel about my life in general. There are also aspect of my life that I may be deeply unhappy about whilst feeling generally good about my life as a whole.

Especially over recent years, as relationships in my life have grown more complex, I’ve really started to appreciate how I can have two feelings about the same thing at the same time.

thetreesaysbark ,

But but there’s a person on the internet that might be wrong! shakes fist at sky

thetreesaysbark ,

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted.

Correct me if I’m wrong but you’re not saying this is a good thing. Just that it is a thing.

Makes sense to me. But I concede that I’m ignorant of what diseases we have cured recently, and too tired to research it right now.

thetreesaysbark ,

Cheers bye

thetreesaysbark ,

This isn’t meant to be rude or anything, I’m just not sure why you’re telling us this.

Is it just an in interesting fact for non-americans?

thetreesaysbark ,

Okay.

I guess in the same way you found my comment to be for no reason, I also found yours to be the same.

IMO, your comment wasn’t really on topic. They asked a question about why it happens to them, and you replied that it never happens to you. How is that on topic?

I did find it interesting that it doesn’t happen in the US, I was just checking that you were just making a comment about your own experience, and not to help answer the ops question. That’s cool, and I was just checking.

I hope you have a nice weekend:)

thetreesaysbark ,

No?

thetreesaysbark ,

They do the dance too though. Really weird.

thetreesaysbark , (edited )

Your last point is pretty much the most likely way to excel in life too, unfortunately.

You’re lucky if you do actually like the person you have to suck up to.

thetreesaysbark ,

I’m sure it must be more difficult for you :( just to try and keep you going though, it’s definitely a numbers game and those of us who don’t have any concerns sometimes misread too.

Tbh, the recovery is probably more important than the execution in this scenario.

thetreesaysbark ,

Except the gunman was killed right? So he wouldn’t be able to try again.

thetreesaysbark ,

He didn’t accomplish anything though did he?

thetreesaysbark ,

I wish more effort was put in to gamifying education courses.

Advice on whether to get a contracted job or not

Basically, I currently work in a digital cinema company as a helpdesk for them and the job pays ok but is pretty stable as my colleagues have all been there for years. I have an interview soon for a FAANG company to be on their IT Helpdesk. It’s a job that will give me a lot of good experience, but it is a 6 month contract...

thetreesaysbark ,

Ask yourself, in 6 months time will you be able to find another contract job or employed job easily? If the answer is yes then I’d say go for it and get the extra experience.

China tells NATO not to create chaos in Asia and rejects label of 'enabler' of Russia's Ukraine war (apnews.com)

China accused NATO on Thursday of seeking security at the expense of others and told the alliance not to bring the same “chaos” to Asia, a reflection of its determination to oppose strengthening ties between NATO members and Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea and the Philippines....

thetreesaysbark ,

I can’t work out your tone from this text. Are you suggesting I’m saying it’s okay that either of these things happening?

I’d say that if NATO are willing to point out China funding Russia, they should also be capable of the self reflection to admit their own faults too.

I get that this wouldn’t work politically though. It’s just really frustrating to see such an obvious scream at a mirror.

thetreesaysbark ,

No worries. I can see how it’d be interpreted like that. Especially given the amount of what aboutism we see in the comments.

I also struggle with Lemmy comments as I’m usually writing here tired in my ‘downtime’ between other responsibilities. You guys get the worst of me! Haha
