  • Galaxy S10 til the wheels come off

    Jump

  • I've been getting the Samsung 'plus' models several years after they come out for a couple hundred bucks and still can't find a reason to upgrade from the S10+

    New phones are way too expensive for a better camera and marginally faster apps, which would be entirely out matched by a dedicated camera at the same price.

    Surprise surprise, I also drive an old ranger that has aux but no Bluetooth so everything works out

  • Paying workers more is inflationary, but raising the cost of goods because you control the supply chain is "business"

    Basically, raising product costs to cover increased labour costs are bad because actual workers are getting that money instead of the wealthy capital class.

    I wish people understood boycotting more. Sure 6 companies own everything, but remember when the cost of a barrel of oil went significantly negative because people weren't driving for 2 weeks?

    If people collectively decided they didn't want to buy anything but the absolute necessary staples for a few months there would be an absolute catastrophe in the supply chain and they'd be forced to lower prices significantly.

    They may not lower prices forever, but modern business is built entirely on supply chain logistics. If people stop buying anything, or buy things exclusively to return them we would see some serious changes

  • Indian farm worker in Italy ‘left to die on road’ with severed arm

    Jump

  • I am not sure what point you are trying to make, or how it relates to my comment/the article?

    Even if we're talking about someone who simply lacks basic or any morals, that would make them even more susceptible to Greed.

    Especially when using a system specifically designed to provide them with vulnerable people who are mostly hidden from public and given less wages and rights, don't know local laws, and are incredibly desperate.

    What a convenient coincidence, heartless Greed finds itself flush with unlimited desperate workers. Again.

  • Indifference is just a tool they use - the root cause is Greed.

    They hate immigrants, but love slave labour. Then use immigrants "taking jobs" (what the farm owners actually want, because slaves are very profitable and locals would never do that work at that wage) to rile up the population to vote for Conservative governments, who often don't change the influx of immigrants but who does love to lower taxes and turn a blind eye to labour abuses.

  • You forgot my favorite of sleep-hating-brain internal dialogue!

    "Why would you need to sleep until your alarm goes off when I can wake you early and you can be anxious about not sleeping! Or all the stuff you feel you should now start but are too tired to do even though you know I won't let you sleep!

    Wouldn't want to sleep through that! Why do you think I kept you up so late??"

    The men vs. bear saga reaches the inevitable conclusion

    Jump

  • You're previous, brief, comment literally mentioned media fear mongering - apparently it was imaginary media fear mongering tied to an imaginary scenario involving millions of interactions between men and woment and only two rapes (not sure how media fear mongering ties into an imagined hypothetical.)

    You are all over the road bud.

    I'm saying that it's not media that's brainwashed women into believing some Rape bogeyman exists - Imaginary scenario or not.

    It's that every single woman personally knows someone(s) who has been raped/roofied/sex assaulted/groped etc. and they don't need media hype to come to the conclusion that being raped in any environment is always a possibility. This is a very sad fact that women live with every single day.

    Not sure how you perceived that as an accusation that you don't believe in Rape

    The men vs. bear saga reaches the inevitable conclusion

    Jump

  • Most of the "fearmongering" is actually women talking about their experiences.

    When media fearmongers Rape, it's mostly by informing the public about rapists being sentenced to very light sentences, or rapists facing no jail time, or violent rapists being released.

    Either that or they outright victim blame and discuss what someone was wearing, where they were, who they were with etc, basically inferring that if she was safely at home under a man's protection, it wouldn't be possible for her to be raped - so look at all the safety she threw away to be reckless (outside without a male partner) and have fun (literally existing while being a woman walking sex organ waiting to be claimed).

  • The official Israel account on X asserting that Palestinian civilians are not innocent

    Jump

  • In this war the Israelis/IDF are the Nazis in control of Palestine from the outside, and Hamas are the Nazis in control inside Palestine. Palestinians are victims (not necessarily entirely innocent), but also not really given another option either. Palestinians are largely controlled by Hamas and everything is controlled by Israel, and both see Palestinians as pawns and human shields/targets.

    For the sake of discussion, I'll ignore the fact that even if the Palestinian neighbours knew about the hostages and went to the IDF, they'd probably be tortured/killed just in case. So choosing not to alert the IDF isn't necessarily support for Hamas, and could very well be an aversion to the IDF bombing and executing the shit out of your neighbours.

    The best way to survive is being invisible, and I wouldn't blame someone for wanting to be invisible when the city they live in is a cage/prison that is being bombed to hell and both armies are very happy to kill Palestinians.

  • Plastics production alone will doom climate goals

  • My dystopian expectation is we'll probably settle on all plastic should be white so it can reflect light back into space, replacing albedo effect we got from all the snow we used to have

  • Disaster with the floating garden

    Jump

  • I didn't look very close at the growing medium, so the "spill" looked like deer poops and I imagined a deer was tricked onto water and literally all the shit was scared out of 'em when they fell in

    Happy to see your garden was salvaged and improved, but a little sad that my deer theory wasn't accurate

  • GOP tries to 'correct the narrative' on use of mailed ballots after years of conflicting messages

    Jump

  • How dare you! They are not hypocrites!! Democrats are always wrong about everything, so who cares if you have to abandon logic, reality, and consistency in order for the world to make sense?!

    Being objectively wrong is an insignificant price to pay when it still feels like you're right!

    So many videogames I enjoyed just ended before last boss

    Decent job with lots of down time, and I desperately want to want to learn more things and give myself potential for career advancement and some job flexibility. Like I really want to be able to do it, but I just can't bring myself to start because I don't need to, even though I like learning new things.

    Even when I complete a home project, or accomplish a life goal, it's just kind of.... Meh? Well that's done I guess?

    There's also a constant battle of feeling anxious in most social settings, but feeling guilty/lonely without them. Almost like juggling two things you don't particularly like, trying to find the balance where you're least mentally uncomfortable.

    It's great having videogames, but you can only do something so much before everything starts to feel formulaic and unfulfilling.

    There is always a feeling or sensation that I should/could be doing something else unless I'm hyper fixated on something

  • Been using this often since you originally posted it!

    Love gif style porn and this is one of the best ways to mow through them.

    I'm pretty much a monkey who's too distracted by tits but is there any features/tips for using it I may have missed in pre-nut fog?

  • I can almost understand the idea when applied to extremely dangerous individuals. There should absolutely be some kind of separate system for people who are too dangerous to be able to reintegrate into society.

    A one size fits all justice system is a terrible way to run a society
