There’s nothing here
No, they are a proxy war by Iran to push back from normalized relationships between the Saudis and Israel in a time when Iran is starting to feel internal pressure to “catch up” to the rest of the world. I feel for the people there, but this is messier and more disgusting than a simple retaliation.
Gonna guess Spirit just lands you in the middle of the Gaza Strip and hands you a pistol and says “Good Luck”. Also they billed you for the pistol.
There is this belief by so many that somehow, if you create the perfect system, it will somehow overcome human nature or that humans will somehow starting acting collectively altruistic with the right political model.
In most cases, they also imagine themselves in a position of power in this new government, either up in an upper “leadership” class or somehow silently leading “but I’m not a leader”, as if somehow the idea itself is so potent that people will just, you know, execute it flawlessly without intervention.
I would say now that I’m in my thirties that my favorite part has been watching this mad scramble over the past decade of absolutely everything new and innovative becoming these out of control behemoths because investors somewhere decided that an app that rates farts has a market cap of $10 billion.
Now we’ve come into an era where fart app employs 20k people and they somehow need to make all of the money back that they burned building a global fartforce
I think there’s a gulf of difference between alcoholism that leads to end-stage liver failure and death and “I’ve been drunk before”. Considering he is dead in 2023, gonna say he was pretty pickled already in 2021, especially with whatever downtime the pandemic offered

I compare it to the bitter notes in okay coffee. I don’t crave it on its own but I can respect it, it’s part of the whole
Also keep in mind this is only going to block good faith bots – accounts marked this way. So you might end up blocking all of the useful bots that self identify as such but still be left with crap content from accounts continuing to repost more covertly
So it’s interesting, I have the soapy gene but have found that I do enjoy it, in modest amounts, in certain foods. It primarily just exists for me as an acquired, slightly off flavor that balances the rest - think like trying coffee for the first time versus later in life.
That said, some food trucks really just give you whole scoops of the stuff and I can exhaust that good will pretty quick when I have a bowl of hot soapy pork broth
If a guy is being executed wrongfully and he’s certain there’s no hope for escape, pretty sure he’s not going to be excited by the idea of going through a painful hell as well just to prove a point.
I switched off of world because I got tired of my feed only working about 30% of the time. It had been extremely normal, to the point where I can’t recall the last bit of downtime. Don’t underestimate the ability to actually view content on lemmy as a driving factor here…
The tree is craving hot cheesy nachos at 3am
And then submitting that resume as a 10pt Arial Word doc
“Oh hey, a lighter version of Mozilla without the mail stuff”
It really has been forever…
Don’t worry, that’s being actively eroded. People cost too much to hire, at least according to the businesses, so they’re just gonna find ways to make less people work more and more.
This is why we’re looking for water on Mars, Nestle wants to bottle it
