Lmao. Yes I've spent a fair amount of time in Philadelphia. But this was on another level.

Also, I saw them live in Philadelphia and it was the worst live show situation I've experienced. The crowd was extremely obnoxious like the entire time. Mercilessly annoying. Technical difficulties and horrible sound.

I'm going to assume the context of this is old machines that still run Windows XP or something that are connected to expensive equipment with proprietary software. We have these at my job and if a computer broke, we had to buy a Windows xp build on ebay because our IT department laughed at us and was like "this is not our area and you are not networking any of these pc's" I love the sign though haha

When I was in college, my group of friends were mostly libs and libertarians (I know) and the mother of one of these people once went on a rant in front of us about how Hamas and Hezbollah were going to team up and destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. After we left the house, I remember all of us just laughing at her and saying "what a fucking stupid take that was" despite not necessarily having the same opinions about Israel or having good opinions on anything else. But, we all knew this was stupid.
Having not read the article or knowing much about Lebanon, I'm going to assume this is still an extremely stupid and desperate thing to posit?

I don't know who said it first, but I heard it from a podcast episode with Matt Christman and Sean KB in an episode about fascism

That's funny. Yeah it's definitely more than a few videos where it's like yeah the video you are showing is objectively fucked up, but the analysis always seems to come back to the evil Chinese government, or the CCP or unsubstantiated Radio Free Asia or Falun Gong rumors.

Yes, it's the wrong person, I am mixing him up with Nick Crowley. I'm sorry. I think I have seen a few Lazy Masquerade videos, as well. Do they do that?

My only problem with Nexpo is I feel like he does a lot of "China bad" videos and makes me feel icky sometimes. I was curious if other people had the same experience.

I was driving somewhere in my dream last night and someone added "death to America" onto the road sign. Kind of a guerilla art thing so it matched the actual sign font. I wish this happened in real life.

Undoubtedly. Still profiling and protecting capital using force. I was only trying to add some context to the situation and point out the absurdity that these people would have a political agenda in the form of being a Russian troll or that constitutes a hate crime. These redditors need to touch grass and speak to someone offline.

Song about dunking on rich kids. Incredible album.
I've started seeing various stories of people in the media speaking out in support of Palestine and being swiftly fired. I'm very curious if the current state of propaganda is going to increase the chance of people working in non-public facing jobs of also being fired and branded anti-Semitic. I'm scared of this coming up in the workplace because I don't think I'd be able to keep my mouth shut and I could absolutely see certain people starting shit.
Officially in my mid-30s and every year that goes by I realize more and more that friendships from the past, high school, university etc start to dwindle as people get older and are more set in their lives. I understand that's how life is, but the upsetting thing is realizing that these friendships are based on little more than hanging onto past experiences. I realize that I have less and less in common with them and we generally don't share the same values. They are mostly run of the mill libs "normies" type of people. Sure that sounds obnoxious, but as I'm sure many of you understand, being a queer leftist means that you will never have the same experiences as these people. I choose the people I spend my time with and the places I go very carefully to maximize my safety and enjoyment out of hell world. Sure it would be easy to write all these people off and just focus on my new friendships with people whom I have more in common with, but that's easier said than done. It feels wrong on some level to let these friendships go. Even if it's the other person coming to the same conclusion. It still hurts on some level. How have you dealt with this situation? I highly doubt this is unique.
I've been pretty inactive on here for the last few months and I see that things have moved to lemmy and there's federating and defederating and the fediverse (just assumed this was a joke about ) I feel dumb and I don't know what any of its means. Instances, controversies etc. Can someone please give me a tldr or point me to a thread explaining the timeline and key information? Thank you!
A friend of mine works with a local hazmat team and told me another Tesla horror story. Apparently, the other day a Tesla veered off the road, hit a guard rail and caught fire. Luckily the driver was able to get out safely. However, the fire department recommended to just let the car burn because of how much water it would take for them to put it out because of the heat of the fire. So the fire department just lets the fire burn out. Eventually it stops and they bring in a tow truck. They strap it on, and as they're loading it all 12,000 of the lithium ion battery rods spill out of the car. Now these are both hazardous waste and extremely volatile. So the hazmat team comes in and has to shovel up all 12,000 of these rods while wearing full flame proof gear in 90° F heat and put them into 55 gallon drums to get picked up as hazardous waste. All knowing that at any point, they could catch on fire. These cars are so fucking ridiculous. Whenever I see them I stay far away on the road. Fuck Musk, electric cars are a mistake and an environmental nightmare.
