When you’re a hammer everything looks like a nail.

If they can’t bomb Irish defense soldiers they’ll get the next best thing.

So… If it looks like voters might turn out en masse for liberal candidates then there’s a freak-out about voter fraud and a demand to lock voting down. But when something happens that might impact conservative voters from casting their ballots then the rules need to be eased. Sounds about right.

Yup. Everything has to be about him. That’s how malignant narcissists roll.

Give it enough time and he’s gradually replace all the boring old books in his Bible with new ‘classier’ ones that focus exclusively on him.

The Gospels of Steve, Roger, Jared, and Mike.

The Books of Kim Jong Un, Putin, White Supremacy, Sexual Assault, Embezzlement, Sedition, Gluttony, etc.

All taking about how the Orange Messiah was bulletproof, super-buffed, the smartest man who ever lived, irresistable to the ladies, so so virile, better than Jesus, etc.

And his hardcore followers will gleefully lap it all up.

“FECK! ARSE! GIRLS!”

Well, I didn’t have Israel vs Ireland on my WWIII escalation bingo card.

Article doesn’t say, but I’m assuming they captured him in Ukraine. In which case Russia took someone from a foreign territory they were at war with (they’ve done this so much already that we know it happens) as a prisoner of war. And then sentenced him in one of their internal kangaroo courts.

I’m not a lawyer, but it sounds like they broke a plethora of Geneva Convention provisions. (Again, something we know Russia does a lot.)

Fuck Adobe. They are the epitome of the greedy, toxic software company.

I switched from Photoshop over to Krita last year. I’ve tried Gimp in the past, but just can’t adjust to the UI. Krita is different too, but not to the same degree. I’ve been enjoying it. It’s well-made and very powerful, with very good online support.

Isn’t this the second time he’s had a fly buzzing around him recently?

He either needs to ignore them, or keep fresher diapers.

I get where they are coming from to a degree - that the Israeli government has not fulfilled it’s obligation to get the hostage home, and that the country on general is becoming increasingly run on religious fervor. But it’s disappointing that the ongoing genocide seems to have little to no part to play in their concerns. There’s millennia of bad blood there and they have been victims of atrocities too, I understand that. But if the murder of innocent people in their name isn’t causing pause for thought, then there’s something seriously wrong. (Same thing goes for every nation or cultural group.)

This is a legit excellent movie. A real sleeper. This was one of the first movies I watched on Netflix many years ago, and it was great. Good concept, decent acting and special effects, and a surprisingly coherent plot.

To expand on what others here have said: no they can’t, and there was a recent article here on Lenny taking about how AI (which I know is different from average bots) has figured out most of the visual captcha types.

I hope so too. Although the IT job market isn’t great right now, so I doubt the departures will reach a critical mass.

He was off by two months 35 years ago?!! HOW DARE HE!!!

Ah yes, because the only viable alternative party is so sympathetic towards Gaza and the West Bank.

If these Muslim scholars and leaders think the Democrats are bad (and to be fair, they are definitely not great in their response on Gaza), they are in for a rude awakening if the Republicans win. It shouldn’t even be a surprise to them. Do they not recall the rabid anti-Muslim reaction and persecution across both large parts of America and the Muslim world after Sept 11th? These Muslim leaders speaking out against Harris have their heads up their asses.

While at the same time having the best debate ever! Everyone’s saying so. A beautiful debate. Very classy, very high energy. 90, 73, 82, 67, 85, 94, 80, 78, 91… BINGO!!!

Interesting. Teams has been doing this for a few years now, so I assume it’s the same functionality just transferred over to Outlook (which has been going through a massive overhaul recently). For anyone in an MS-based company with Teams being actively used, this is not a new thing.

Not triggered at all.

The evidence says otherwise.

Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere. And I think I’m done seeing the dubious quality posts and non-constructive comments you are spamming Lemmy with. So I’m gonna block you and move on.

But one last thing, and I say this with the best of intention…

I seriously don’t understand your rationale or your aim on this platform. Your frequency of trying to antagonize others indicates an unhealthy addiction; the quality of the content is all over the place, with no apparent discernment for legitimacy of the sources; and the need to engage with people here almost always turns negative, which isn’t helpful to you or anyone else.

I know you get defensive about people accusing you of being a Russian operative (which I don’t think you are) and of them ‘persecuting’ your opinion. You put on a proverbially happy face, but the urge for contrarianism (which is usually a sign of unhappiness) and that undertone of feeling disrespected shines through that. Surely you know by now that the reason you get so heavily down-voted by others on this platform isn’t because they disagree with your opinion. It’s because you seem to post and comment in bad faith trying to antagonize others and then proverbially run and hide behind the “hey I don’t support that opinion/candidate myself!” argument. You obviously have some sort of an agenda, but you won’t admit to what it really is. That lack of emotional and intellectual honesty is what irritates people.

You will keep doing what you want, and that’s totally your prerogative. But you’re not changing anyone’s minds. You’re only galvanizing them against your opinions and marginalizing yourself.

Maybe you need some emotional help? (Rhetorical question, I don’t want an actual answer.). If so, then I hope you get it.

Ooh, two replies! Didn’t mean to trigger you, friend. :)

And no matter how much you try to weasel out of it with misplaced semantics, you are still incorrect. :D
