It’s amazing how consistent it is that the ones screeching the loudest about pedophiles constantly seem to get outed as pedos, if this holds true I wonder what secrets Jim Cavaziel is hiding, I wonder if he is in fact the Hollywood person getting adrenochrome from aborted babies that Qanon nutters constantly imagine.
The U.S. military is considering putting armed personnel on commercial ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, in what would be an unheard of action aimed at stopping Iran from seizing and harassing civilian vessels, five American officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.
It’s time for the Merchant Marines if that’s the case, those guys are actually trained for exactly this stuff, and most are former Sailors, Coasties, and Marines.

When LG folded their mobile division I chose a Motorola over a Samsung.
The only thing I’d buy from Samsung without a lot of persuasion is Samsung’s SSD drives, which are usually the best and most reliable on the market.
The main problem is that Samsung is one of the worst hardware manufacturers in terms of valuing privacy, even their TV’s are being geared towards spamming ads at you and spying on you through their cameras.
Also Samsung forces Facebook/Meta bloat ware on you.
The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?...
I grew up in New York City, my pops is fairly well known, we’re part of a large family, most people knew me as his son or one of my female cousins cousin.
Also I’ve seen LGBTQ folks get bullied, same with “neurodivergent” and other folks with mental and physical disabilities.
The only difference is that in a city you can find your “people” because in a small town there may be one or a few of you, in a large city there are many, but there are also many many assholes there too. Also public transportation is an absolute “plus” when it comes to a city.
Now I live in a coastal area of Florida that likes to think of itself as “small town” while being incredibly busy traffic-wise and having more population than Iceland, and that HIPAA thing is a real problem. My kid took in a friend who wanted to escape her crazy and abusive Jehovah’s Witness parents, well the mother works where my kid went to the doctor a few times, she looked up my kids medical records and then showed up at our house. I gave my kid so much shit about how the mother violated HIPAA and how she should get her fired, and my daughter wouldn’t, she just didn’t want to get her friends mother in trouble, but that was a serious breach of trust and this woman shouldn’t be working in the medical field if she can’t follow the regulations governing the field, if I did similar in my career field I would be completely unhirable.
So being well known in your 'hood isn’t like being well known in a small town? Maybe you need some perspective on the discussion and the differences? I’m just trying to point out that the similarities exist.
Also, I’m just generalizing NYC as a region to avoid specifics, why would I want to dox myself?
Also let’s be real, there are far more well known families in NYC than just the Trump’s, the Trump’s are outcasts of high society, which contains people who are actually wealthy, also there’s another term for the Trump’s and that term is infamous.
Nah you’re just being an obnoxious douchbag ruining engagement on this site because you want to feel better about yourself by being a judgemental prick towards others, sorry your life is so small enough and sad enough that you have to try and tear others down to feel better about yourself.
While I agree in principal, AMD exists, Intel is ramping up it’s interest in the GPU market, I definitely hope for some more competition, however nothing designed and owned by a Chinese company is going to be used by me or anyone asking me for advice on the issue.
Chinese companies only exist on paper, as the Chinese government owns all it sees as Chinese, this is why they keep putting their little police departments in other countries to both police people of Chinese ancestry and to police what people say and do about China. So when you buy a Chinese product you are taking a huge chance that your privacy will be constantly violated, and because we don’t hold China accountable they feel validated in violating those laws and your privacy.
Angel Novalez seems like the obvious pick, judging from this article, the other two would be purely political picks based on race. Novalez has actually shown a willingness to innovate and change the force to improve relations, and that’s the most important thing for a city with Chicago’s issues, rebuilding community trust and modifying how the police operate for the better.
Also Snelling having the “trust of the officers” is just a red flag to me, the officers just want to be shielded by a boss that protects them, sure Snelling may be good for the Chicago cops, but what’s good for them isn’t necessarily what’s good for the city, since the cops of the city have become part of the problems for the city, screw their trust. Chicago needs a reformer and that again seems to be Novalez.

Conservatives may not believe in climate change, but climate change definitely believes in them, we’re all fucked and these idiots are an anchor around our necks.
Every person I know who is one of those people that can’t be persuaded by logical arguments backed by irrefutable sources seems to have a powerful sense of ego/pride trending towards narcissistic. My father is like that, my stepdaughter-in-law, my former best friend, my kids former football coach, they’re all people think they’re smarter than everyone else, they still suffer from the same self doubt we all face but instead of facing those self doubts and finding teachable moments to learn and grow from, they instead doubledown on how great they are, and how much better than you they think they are.
See I thought that Beehaw.org was the Lemmy instance for news, as it’s supposed to be a well moderated instance, am I incorrect in that assumption?
Also it would be nice if Beehaw’s mods approved my account so that I could use that instance for those purposes. I’ve been trying to get an account created with them for almost a month now.
I’m like you OP, my main focus on Reddit was staying up-to-date on the most current events and technology/science based posts, the sort I generally used on Reddit was “Top this Hour” because that seemed to be the most reliable and up-to-date hourly news as the news rolled in.
Another thing that helped greatly was Reddit is Fun’s content filtering capabilities. Because who tf wants to read some bullshit from Fox News or other severely corrupted and biased news sources? The third party app for Lemmy that let’s me eliminate garbage sources from my feed is the one that wins me as a user, and I used RiF for as long as it’s been around, so they would be winning a loyal user.
Hence all of the home owners insurance providers exiting Florida.
DeSantis and Scott’s governorships have really failed to prepare this state for what’s coming, but hey, what do you expect from a bunch of corrupt pieces of shit like them and the rest of the Florida GOP?
DeSantis and Abbott have both said that they are changing their laws and allowing certain things to happen in order to push “certain people” out of their states, they absolutely seem to want to push as many poor, minorities, and overall left leaning people out of the state, as Senator Rick Scott of Florida (former governor of Florida) said:
“We actually don’t believe in socialism. Some people in our state lived under it, and we know people lived under socialism—it’s not good. It’s not good for anybody.” In a video posted to Twitter, Scott made it clear that socialists and communists are “not welcome in the Sunshine State” while reiterating a few points to really drill in the warning: “We like freedom, liberty, capitalism, things like that.”

So not surprising that they’re pro-China even though modern China is about as Communist as Nazi Germany was “Socialist”, it’s amazing how many “Communists” just completely ignore that China and Ruzzia are just more authoritarian dictatorships and Communist/Socialist in name only.
