I miss my hearing. I miss music.
  • @FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone you need to get off the .world federation bubble (which blahaj is a part of).

    Try Hexbear for a week. It doesn’t cost you anything, just take a look. You don’t have to stay if you don’t like it.

    But something tells me you’re quickly going to understand why Lemmy has two major federation poles after checking it out.

  • UN votes 124-14 to strip Israel of right to self-defense in Gaza, West Bank
  • Shoutout to the libs wetting their pants over non-Russian weapons being used against Ukraine

    I’m not sure what could be worse than literally bulldozing all of Palestine to the ground and killing the survivors that crawl out. And that is not hyperbole. Literal bulldozers are going in a line through Palestine.

    Maybe PugJesus can enlighten us?

  • Tupperware in fight to survive after bankruptcy filing
  • It’s all intentional. Tupperware, just like Red Lobster, Toys R Us, and every other high profile corporate bankruptcy where you just go “what were they thinking?”.

    They were taken over by Boston Consulting Group, stripped for parts (any remaining $), stole the land, and rolled the debt into bankruptcy.

    It’s so extreme it sounds like some shadowy cnspiracy but this is all public, verifiable information. All these companies either directly brought in BCG or their executive teams were BCG plants.

    Welcome to the efficient market of capitalism.

  • When pictures or videos first came out about the concentration camps of WW2 did people really not believe it? Or was there questions about it?
  • Well there is an active genocide where an entire country is being literally bulldozed into rubble with all survivors shot by snipers, heavily documented with endless videos, and the worlds most powerful nation is united in supporting it, so…

    Even literally during WW2, the US created concentration camps on its own soil for millions of American-born citizens who happened to be Asian. These people had their homes, businesses, and property just brazenly stolen by their white neighbors while they sat in camps in the desert. They had nothing to go back to. This is why many West Coast small towns have “Japantown” neighborhoods with 0 Japanese folks.

    So yes, I’d say it’s safe to say people didn’t “believe” the WW2 camps.

  • BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US, even with a 100% tariff
  • We talking about the same “rules” that allow regular Class D license holders to drive a 40 ft RV with no additional training? Or perhaps the same rules that allow Cybertrucks to even exist on public roads?

    Americans love to talk shit about safety standards when they don’t even exist at home

  • Apartheid Clyde strikes again
  • I feel like people outside industry don’t appreciate this message as much as intended.

    Industrial switchgears, often part of an electric apparatus that looks like a giant metal box, have lead times measured in years. The supply chain is completely fucked.

    A literal CEO of a $20billion company couldn’t skip the line despite writing them a letter and begging for any price.

    Companies are paying long haul truckers expedited rates to haul a 53 foot trailer with a switchgear inside, and the rest of the trailer completely empty. Just to get it 2-3 days sooner, after their 1 year wait. You cannot operate the facility without it.

    It really is a huge shame when one of them gets damaged.

  • Any leads on online gig work? Need money for rent
  • Yeah those “too good to be true” AI/mechanical Turk-type jobs are usually thinly veiled scams. Eventually they’ll stop paying or randomly terminate you, etc.

    If you have some kind of circus trick (drawing, editing, copywriting, etc), you could try fiverr. It’s quickly evolved into low-cost creative gig work and some creators charge up to hundreds for more complex commissions or larger jobs.

    If you don’t have a circus trick, the only other thing I know of is the “slave labour” (yes it’s really called that) community on Reddit. That one is fully peer to peer so be very cautious but people post more menial tasks there from time to time.

    Finally you could farm Bing Rewards and survey websites. It would be a truly pitiful wage but it converts time into money (gift cards) using the internet. This is really cruel and unusual punishment but… it’s an option.

    Edit: if you’re any good (like, top 1-5%) at multiplayer video games, kids will pay tons of money to boost their accounts on the competitive ladders. This is by far the most lucrative and easiest option but it requires you to already be good.

  • I just feel like I am really close this time [Trigger Warning Suicide]
  • Your instance is defederated with the single largest trans community and support group on the Lemmy platform. Take a look at hexbear, take your mind off things. Get off hostile instances. .world is the second most likely to SWAT you for this post, only beaten by exploding heads.

  • People who have those extra fold out laptop monitors, are they any good?
  • It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

    The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

    A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.

  • Miss me with that doomer shit
  • The actual climate scientists have been increasingly saying their models show there’s no point to even trying while capitalism still exists, and get continuously worse every time they add recent data to the model,

    …but I support, commend, and unironically respect your commitment OP. One person can absolutely make a difference to their local ecosystem assuming they have enough money and land.

  • Hey fellow rulers, Shah Muhammad II here. Anyone know why my messengers aren't coming back?

    Hey fam, I’ve been dispatching riders to the East but three different cities have been completely ghosting me.

    I just wanted to tell them about the hilarious caravan of nomads I kicked out of the palace. Some warlord named “Temu Jin” sent them so I took their stuff and shaved their beards. Probably another Kara Qhitai joker laying yet another claim to Khwarazm.

    Anyway let me know what you think, is there some kind of weather on the way? I see a huge cloud of dust from the East so maybe my messengers stopped to shelter. I’ll check it out real quick, be back later!
