I have a Brother MFC-J1205W and I’m super happy with it. Idk about the Linux support side, but it fits all the other requirements, it was pretty cheap, + so far for me it’s been super reliable, cheap ink, and very high quality prints.
I don’t disagree with any of that… the only part I was taking issue with was saying “there is a level of truth” that the armed forces of both sides are working for safety of both sides.
If the IDF stopped killing innocent people, it would dramatically increase the level of safety in the future for the loved ones of the soldiers. And likewise for Hamas.
I mean obviously having 0 Israeli military isn’t gonna work; I do get what you’re saying. But put it this way; if Hamas had disappeared entirely on October 6th, everyone on all sides would be a hell of a lot safer today.
without the auctions of their army their home will be at risk
Without Hamas’s recent actions, the home of the Palestinians would be at risk?
I think you gotta recheck your math on that one
And of course the same thing applies to Israel; without the IDF and settlers’ actions in Palestine, there wouldn’t have been an October 7th in the first place.
“What are you trying to hand me?” a Tampa police officer asked. “You realize when they pull my body-worn camera footage and they see this, this is going to go really bad.”
NYT doing its thing again. From the party platform:
To reach net-zero emissions as rapidly as possible, Democrats commit to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035 through technology-neutral standards for clean energy and energy efficiency. We will dramatically expand solar and wind energy deployment through community-based and utility-scale systems, including in rural areas. Within five years, we will install 500 million solar panels, including eight million solar roofs and community solar energy systems, and 60,000 wind turbines
I mean there’s more. Not all of it is as specific or aggressive as that, but some is. As they usually do as pertains to US political coverage the NYT is pretty much just making stuff up in this story.
You're allowed to say whatever you want; freedom of speech. You're not allowed to operate as an unregistered agent of a foreign power within the US.
If they're not filling out their 1124 forms, then fuck 'em. To prison they go. It can be a little lesser version preview of how they are saying they like for things to work in their chosen country of emulation and praise.
Yeah. I wouldn’t invest yourself too much in it. But yes, depending on things it might be worthwhile to just offer to let him put his money where his mouth is, if he’s super sure about things.
Offer to bet him money about the outcome of some real world event that is contingent on the way he is claiming that things are
IDK how you can apply that to AI; that’s not the best one. But you can bet that there are no workers dying of heatstroke in Amazon-supplier warehouses. You can bet him that Trump has agreed to honor the results of the election. Etc etc.
It’s very easy to just make statements at each other. If you offer to back up your statements, then he can either refuse (in which case it’ll be harder for him to say he’s definitely right and you’re definitely wrong), or agree and then one or the other of you will learn something.
It’s up to you. You can also just let it go. But if you want to prove him wrong it is easier to do with questions and real-world actions than it is by coming up with the perfect statements. As you’ve discovered, he’s not obligated to react to statements any way other than how he’s decided to react to them.
Is this what you perceive to be the issue I'm raising? Try again. Talking about the Russia - Ukraine "issue" is not what I was highlighting there. Want to take another stab at what I was highlighting about it?
That's like the opposite of everything democracy and freedom of speech stand for.
Innocent until proven guilty, and freedom of speech, and freedom for journalist and reporting is no longer relative.
Same question. What was the issue I was raising? Being a journalist and speaking freely, I'm obviously in favor of. So what was I pointing out when I highlighted those segments and made the connection I made?
For reasons which I don’t really understand, news articles will pretty frequently have the official headline be this vague or incoherent thing that doesn’t communicate all that clearly what is contained within the article, but then somewhere above the fold if you click will be a collection of words which much more accurately describes the content. When that happens I usually title it with the more coherent set of words instead of the headline (as with this story).
They didn’t change the headline; I had just felt like the subtitle made for a much more coherent headline on Lemmy. But if you prefer, I’m happy to put the site’s headline as the headline (and put the subtitle in the body text instead).
It's not a war between Russia and Ukraine. It's a war between NATO and Russia, with Ukraine being used as a pawn, and Ukrainians paying the price of NATO expansion and antagonism.
Explosive.
Russia is now demanding that Europe pay for gas in rubles.
Europe gets 40% of its gas from Russia. That’s 200-800 million euros per day.
Putin is basically saying: you want to play sanctions? Either pay up in rubles or freeze.
Yeah, can’t imagine why the UK government would want to detain and ask him some questions right now at this one particular moment in time; not like something has happened recently that woke them up to the real world urgency of allowing Russia to put dangerous toxic bullshit into their social media landscape that might have made them want to take any actions about it.
Dude I love debating with fascists. You obviously can't let them dictate the terms, but it's a chance for great educational setups that are just weird if you come in from nowhere and start talking about them.
They say Biden caused inflation and everyone's suffering because of him and only him
You say actually that's not true, working class wages have actually been rising (even adjusted for pretty punishing inflation) and that happened specifically because of policies X, Y, Z, and you link to a chart of wage growth over different income levels which some people may not have been aware of
They say how dare you defend Biden when everyone knows he's killing Palestinians on purpose
You say that's a really good point, he did take the biggest action on climate change in history by a margin of almost ten times over
They say wait wait I was talking about Palestinians
You say hey you're right Trump did say he wanted to just kill them all, and Biden (for all his fuckin war criminal weapons shipments) is weirdly enough the most anti-Israeli president (in terms of action) the US has ever had. For as sad a statement as that is. He put sanctions on settlers, he paused weapons shipments, etc etc, people should be aware, I'm glad you brought it up
They say what the fuck are you talking about he never put sanctions on settlers, or he undid them, their eyes already filling with aggrieved "this isn't fair" tears
You link to an editorial from some Israeli minister about how bullshit is Biden's behavior and why his actions against Israel are absolutely criminal and we need to get rid of him. Probably no one reading the exchange will have been aware of that editorial.
This kind of stuff is actually pretty common in lawsuits. You just throw everything at the wall, because sometimes something sticks. It looks heinous in the light of normal human behavior (and you can say they’re awful for not just settling the lawsuit and making the guy go through this), but once they’ve decided to fight it, you can’t really blame the lawyers for doing their jobs finding what they can to fight it with.
