Absolutely. Dumb TVs going forward. Unfortunate that the best screens like those made by Samsung are ruined by surveillance and hardware that can’t run the “smart” OS for more than a few years without eventually running like dog shit.
Naive and gullible, like I said. Or, alternatively, just a disgusting person willfully attempting to spread disinformation.
I see people cosplaying as Hamas as Palestine protests. Cosplaying as genocidal maniacs.
I can’t take you seriously.
First, Israel has committed war crimes against Palestinians for decades. When nobody plays by the rules there is no point in quoting the rules.
Very few people condone killing civilians or taking hostages. Most people support the liberation of the Palestinian people and peace.
Which is why it’s only the young and naive that support it.
Only the naive think that the situation is anywhere near as cut and dry as you seem to imply it is. And only the gullible think any fraction of the population worth mentioning are cosplaying as or celebrating the actions of Hamas.
But do you condemn Hamas?®
Most people don’t support war crimes.
But, at the moment, it’s war crimes vs. bigger war crimes. The question is, is the perpetrator of war crimes willing to stop war crimes when it’s the only conceivable leverage to stop bigger war crimes? Big war crimes likely doesn’t give a fuuuuuck about the little war crimes though - they literally killed the hostages in several situations. They are just pitching a tent because it’s an excuse for them to do even bigger war crimes.

Does it end? I ended my subscription with Netflix due to the repeated cancellation of shows I would get into.
More like they need to have everyone use the app so that they can offer “AI Assistant” features through it.
The sacrifice would be tiny if the general population made that same tiny sacrifice. Instead they don’t bother to ever wear a mask, exponentially increasing the chances they’ll spread it to someone else.
I have a family member that relies on me for help as well as a friend that I see weekly. Both are very high risk for COVID complications - family has almost no immune system and friend has a rare clotting disorder. I don’t think I would be able to forgive myself if they caught COVID from me.
I also don’t want to end up like two other friends of mine with long COVID. They were healthy and extremely active, now they are riddled with problems and had to abandon the activities they used to enjoy (and that I’d really prefer to continue to enjoy myself).
So, yes, avoiding everyone who takes no precautions has become quite a sacrifice. If I was confident that I’d be surrounded by people who were vaccinated and (regularly) wearing N95s I’d feel safer at restaurants, shops, gyms, public transit, parties, maybe even a concert. Instead I do take out or occasionally outdoor dining, minimize my time in most places, and avoid gatherings of any significant size.
Being extremely careful because nobody else is willing to be even a little careful really shrinks your world and it fucking sucks. Alternatively, I could join my dumbass aunt and make fun of people masking at the grocery store immediately after complaining about suddenly, mysteriously being diabetic following her third COVID infection.
I honestly only kind of care about the “story” and just want to watch a documentary about all the weird shit happening in the environment around them.
Because things escalated significantly in the last few weeks.

Apparently our typical installer for Visio 2016 and our 365 license use “incompatible installers” so it is going to be a pain in the ass for me to have both installed at the same time. Thankfully I’m trusted by IT so I might be able to just do it myself.
Edit: Looks like I’ll need IT after all. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/use-the-office-deployment-tool-to-install-volume-licensed-editions-of-visio-2016
Now if only it would stop dropping leading zeros unless you ask it
That appears to actually be a feature.
Because those in power spend a lot of effort distancing themselves from the impact they have and casting blame on everyone else, including on the victims.
A local factory may be poising the locals, paying little in taxes, and exploiting workers on the cheap but they are the biggest employer and its those minorities’ fault for some reason and if not that it’s the locals’ fault for not pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps like their fathers did…
Oh, and look over there, quick! A teacher is trying to groom your kid because he refused to shame that one gay kid in school! Git 'im!
