Prove it.
Btw Hamas is not Palestinian people. They are terrorists. Palestinian people live peacefully. Why don’t you go over there and be a hero?
You’d rather sit here online and argue stupidly than think for yourself. You aren’t changing anything for the better.
Stupid question. Iran enabled Hamas to strike first in a cowardly attack. How many ordinary, defenseless homes and lives did these terrorists destroy without restraint? Go look at the monsters in the footage. The trail of beheadings and rape in true savage horror. Just like Isis, just like Russia. The mark of true evil. Israel has never done such a thing.
Your question is invalid and irrelevant.
There’s an age limit btw: 30. 35 if you’re a veteran.
Millennials get shafted yet again.
It’s really irritating but some websites only work on Chrome for me. They range from work related to Google Meet instances. I only use it then but yeah.
Thanks for engaging with my thoughts.
I don’t support or condone fascism in any form, my point was that in times of natural disaster, aid should be extended to all citizens, regardless of their political views. Denying aid based on political beliefs can perpetuate divisiveness and mistrust in institutions meant to serve everyone. In my view, denying aid due to this would be itself a form of fascism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and so on.
We may disagree on certain points, but let’s not lose sight of the larger goal: a fair and just society for all.
They want to neg their employees, sounds like.
Yes. Several articles have come out recently discussing US intel on the impact of Chinese and Russian propaganda influence on the American people. This is further proof that many people have been preyed on.
Contrary to your opinion, an ideal President’s job is not to start or participate in civil or cultural wars. It is to help all of us. Even the ones who “don’t deserve it”. Denying aid also only plays into “their” hand. People who vote against government often complain that it’s never done anything for them. If it misses an opportunity to serve citizens, that failure only further chips away at the institution and democracy.
Republicans want that to happen. They have shown clearly at least since Nixon and neoliberalism that they want only one thing: to overthrow the people’s government entirely and replace it entirely with corporate capitalist overlords.
Taking a page out of Brave Browser’s book. So brave.
Yes, thank you for not jumping at me for this, I was just trying to be more inclusive rather than exclusive that all people should be able to make their decisions, not just especially female bodied. Apologies at my awkwardness!! Glad it produced a healthy sense of humor. I more than agree that women are people too. 🤣
How can anyone be on the side of the right and walk amongst those who, on average, more actively preach and wish for the deaths of people. Alvarez is serving up a BS pie. He may not have said it, but he can’t pretend he doesn’t know it’s a current sentiment in their stream. He uses Truth Social actively. They are the deluded ones.
It’s 2023. Stop being murderous, racist, and generally bigoted people. Let people and women make their own decisions. And quit efing overreaching, especially into families.
I think it’s about money and control. Slavery is a far more lucrative framework to a shortsighted business model that doesn’t value human life or input in the least beyond what it can earn. Think about exploiting a machine for unlimited gains vs waiting for people to work through a creative process, or rewrites. No breaks for hundreds or thousands. No day limits.
Then think about the people in power being able to implement their own (stupid) visions without any pushback or challenge. Want to incorporate your advertisers, backers or political agendas? Want to change your mind after you release? Responding instantly to testing? Boom. No creative pushback. No talent pushback or wrangling.
And they own it all outright if it came from their platform. Near total “self sufficiency”. There are so many stories about great movies or films that almost didn’t happen because one or several out of touch producers, or bean counters from accounting, almost ruined everything. (Thinking about “The Offer”, or more recently The Algorithm on “Barry”)
Eventually, maybe it could mean fewer unions to negotiate with if studios own both likenesses and writing process, or less bargaining power for the existing unions. They already own your face, or can compose “original” amalgams.
Much can be accomplished on a set / lot with computers as it is. Factor in non union performance, or weaker unions, and I bet they think they’ll print money. I am thinking like late career-Bruce Willis where it’s quantity over quality (before he announced his illness, he squeezed a few more millions out of his name and face doing a scene or two in a series of very low budget films). This would matter to many who care about quality, and ethics, however, look at network drama or procedurals like L&O. People in general can be far less discerning as long as it’s not too bad. In fact, they often prefer formula and tropes are tropes for a reason. Sometimes formulae are overt and sometimes it’s more subtle.
Is that all possible under current law? Do antitrust or monopoly laws cover this? I don’t know. I think pressure could shape laws as usual.
Just a thought experiment from a former entertainment professional. I side with unions of course against the executives and shadowy funders that make the millions behind the scenes. But take all with a grain of salt.
Edit: now I’m thinking about how cost and investment there is over a life to train people to achieve the necessary competence and ability (like any job, or any soldier), and how they could bypass some, or eventually all of that, knee capping human arts and culture. And to some degree literacy. We don’t belong in museums yet… Dang it >:(
Do you have suggestions on what might be more appropriate tools? What “punishment” may look like?
Forgive this noob, but couldn’t there be a trusted and maintained admin blocklist of instances which are bot havens?
Is that one really worth mentioning though?
It’s kind of reflective of the world right now - USA probably. Those in power are happily steamrolling the rights of disenfranchised people for money, while said people simply grumble but only change the channel. As long as there’s streaming, they stay in their lane.
Should be out in the streets!
16 years here. Hard but that’s life.
Didn’t say that. Hamas uses people as a shield hoping for PR. Convenient for you to ignore the way they went door to door to kill people. Then the music festival.
USA has a right to defend itself. NATO defend itself. Israel defend itself.
