Can you please show me a single protest of an Israeli citizen against the war specifically because of the genocide?

The same folks being killed by Israel? Those ones?

Empty save for claw marks on the inside, and the creepiest doll you can find.

Thank you for your service.

Very serious follow up: How much do you make in a year if your answer is “yes”?

Do some dudes use TP when they pee?

Fact checking.

So many people just believe anything they see or hear if it agrees with their worldview.

This is really interesting… Can you elaborate? I’ve never one had a follow up to the check mark.

I use a high dpi mouse, what do you use?

Spoiler: I think resolution matters here. The top comment is wrong, if anyone cares enough to take notice…

This feels only partially accurate. I’m a web developer, and I know websites don’t track all of what you suggest. Can you clarify, or come clean on what actually takes place?

Honestly, I doubt it… I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be abrasive.

I’m sorry, but “now”? This has been a thing for at least half a decade. Are you Encino Man? Did you just wake up?

Yup. I canceled Netflix when they removed the star ratings because it was clear what they were doing. Most people didn’t care, though.

Anyone still on shitter is not going to care. There is zero integrity on that platform at this point. Just people supporting hate speech and Musk by their very participation.

Yes, we know. We’ve been alive long enough to see You Tube’s slow demise.

That is really good to know! Do you use a real silk one ($100+), or the “silk” ones off Amazon? I’ve always wanted a real one.

This is an AI video, which makes it’s pretty unwatchable for me. I’d love an alternative source of information.

Rotten Tomatoes is, and always has been, an absolutely abysmal place to go to find out if a movie is good.

Making any major social media service mildly inconvenient will kill it.

Spectrum near me charges me $79 a month for 400mbit down, and… Get ready… 10mbit up.

I’m in southern San Diego and they have non-compete agreements with the other companies. I can’t get anything else.

Yes and no. No, it’s not Reddit doing it. Yes, Google is strongly favoring reddit results. They are combating AI content in this manner.

Google searches are becoming worthless more and more. This may be the beginning of the end for them unless users quickly adopt their generative search approach when they release it.

Yes. Google is strongly favoring both in search results in their feeble, and failing, attempt to combat AI.

This life is what we can make of it, with a harsh overtone of constant surprises - some wonderful, many terrible.

It’s that dichotomy between the darkness we grow calloused to, and the lights we find along the way that bring hope and meaning into our world.

It’s hard to face the end - either through our own eyes, or the eyes of those we love… But I think every darkness can be the setting for something else to come.

I’ve lost enough loved ones to know they’re sometimes the only lights I can see in the darker times. None of this helps explain the terrible nature of death, but I think it helps sometimes to know they aren’t truly gone to us.

When they leave this world, I think they can actually end up being more powerful because our minds reach out more than ever to connect with their memory. In this way, we are never truly alone, and we always have a light to carry.

As for the immediate grief, I always turn to one of my favorite quotes on the subject:

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.

Khalil Gibran
