He’s dead to me

The 1000+ Palestinian kids being killed daily by Israeli forces are victims of this “beef” stretching back thousands of years, which is messed up and unfair (stating it mildly). I think that’s what most people are pointing out, that and Israel bombing hospitals.

Probably possible yeah, but if the account gets flagged after users reporting it, they’ll need to get a new number afterwards, which isn’t that easy (at least where I live).

Where are you receiving these spam messages from? Random numbers aimed at marketing or what?

Unfortunately the “shame” surrounding these things stem from the concept of sin and living as a “sinner” in a “fallen world”. I’ve been shamed countless times because of things the church did not agree with. I don’t know if he ever preached any transphobic ideas in his time, but biblical ideologies are rife with gender roles and toxic ideas about women and masculinity. Even if he didn’t preach any of that toxic garbage, he must have been struggling a lot with his own identity, even though he said it’s only for fun and stress relief (paraphrasing). Small towns don’t act gracefully towards people experimenting with their sexualities like this. Can only imagine the rejection he must have experienced having all of this play off on the grand stage of his life in that little town, since literally everyone there knew him.

3 similar but different questions:

• Where do you use YouTube (phone, pc, etc)
• Where do you use YouTube (country, location)
• Where do you use YouTube (browser, app, etc)

You didn’t state if you use an adblock extension, which is what this is all about.

The kids of yesterday grew up to be the journalists of today.

It might actually have played a frighteningly large role, guess we’ll never know. Was Veggietales as big in the US as it was for us in South Africa 20 years ago?

FYI, the Haven F-Droid repo has seemingly not been updated in 4 years. Latest available .apk is from 2019.

Thank you. You had the opportunity to explain why you use it and why you recommended it, and yet you had me google it myself like I could have done from the start. Now I know it’s a browser (like your comment implied) based on Firefox with additional privacy features. But I still don’t know why you recommended it. Oh well.

I think it’s because they died mostly due to ignorance and seeming idiocy, instead of malicious intent, cruelty or something of the like. It’s hard to have empathy for someone who took such a big risk for the enjoyment of the experience (like an extreme rollercoaster). Others who are more aware will immediately recognise the sheer danger of such an activity. They all accepted that risk. The fact that they could afford such an activity implies they were probably loaded.

Example headline:

7 millionare adrenaline junkies die in extreme skydiving activity.

– Yeah it’s unfortunate, but it won’t keep me up at night either.

Yes, my singular patronizing statement definitely warrants your over the top response.

It’s so sad to see how you’ve already convinced yourself of how he was guilty of SOMETHING before even knowing this, which is why I made the suggestion towards an empathetic approach. You’re clearly defending the cop and trying to show how the victim (the one who died in this exchange) was wrong after all. You said this knowing full-well that he has wrongfully spent a signifficant portion of his life behind bars, being berated by guards (which is how the system works), growing jaded and distrustful towards the broken system that ruined his life. You hammer on his non-compliance, where his compliance in the past did not grant him ANY justice.

I’m sure both sides made mistakes, HOWEVER, the weight of making better choices and acting appropriately rests on the shoulders of the officer enacting the law. That’s his job FFS. I’ve seen enough footage of officers escalating situations, switching off body cams before committing crimes, etc. and not being punished in any way. The cop is not the victim here. And you’re blaming the only victim in this scenario. His life is a tale of victimhood, and you cannot seem to fathom that his actions have been molded by a corrupt and broken legal system.

Exactly this. I wasn’t paying for using third party apps because I hated reddit as a website. I payed because it offered me the user experience I desired. Customization, ad-free, privacy-focus, etc. If they offered that with a paid solution to an official “pro/premium” app, I would have been interested in buying a yearly subscription. But no, the baseline experience on the official app is the same for everyone. Zero customization, doesn’t even support the core moderation functions that the site’s mods and maintainers need to do what they do (for free).

Would have been cool of there was a legal way to migrate some of the core content created by users on Reddit to Lemmy. I’m not even talking about media like images and video. Just conversations and opinion posts, guides, help and advice.

What on earth is that? And in what sense is it better than Firefox?

“Why did he flee?” Because he had been wrongfully accused and sent to prison for 16 years before, obviously! “Why did he refuse lawful commands?” Because those enforcing it are lawless and wrongfully sent him to prison for 16 years. “Why did he attempt to assault the officer after being tazed?” Are you being serious right now? Have you ever been tazed before? It’s an awful experience and does awful things to your heart, especially in the moment and especially to someone who is older. He obviously must have held a grudge after 16 years in prison and might even have promised himself to not go down without a fight next time, or maybe loose the rest of his lofe in prison. Guess he “just” ended up losing the rest of his life period.

Maybe try to live a little more empathetically and learn to try and put yourself in others’ situation, given what they’ve been through. This is an obvious egregious case and awful that it had ended like this. Not sure if you’re aware of how corrupt the federal government are in the US and about their internal gangs and racism towards non-caucasians.
