What is this meme about even?

Downplaying Boeing's poor safety record by suggesting that they're the subject of repeated attacks that aren't their fault?

Who does this resonate with even?

It was a tough sacrifice, but the really important thing going forward is making sure Elon gets his 56 billion dollar bonus reinstated that was so cruelly taken away.

This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don't want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

Seems like one of those things everyone would say in the abstract, particularly on a survey. Then when the studios go for safe projects and the thing they remake is among someone's personal favorites they'll watch it anyway, validating the strategy.

That's what I thought about the elephant tusk looking AirPods yet here we are.

The Reality Distortion Field sometimes makes things hard to predict when it comes to Apple products.

Yet this is the same party attacking the left for being antisemitic, and the media never contextualizes their attacks with things like this or their Jewish space laser actual antisemitism.

How? How does a country take that much of a financial beating and still be thriving? Where is the point of being broke and not being able to fund a war anymore?

Not only that but I remember reading a lot of articles about how Russia was going to economically collapse as a result....almost two years ago.

Also a lot of articles about how weak Russia was militarily, how they lost all their troops and equipment already, how morale in their military was so poor the army was just going to run away at any moment, how one major asset after another was destroyed by the Ukrainians...for almost two years now.

Yet here they are still, not collapsed, not defeated. It probably is a good idea to take the media with a grain of salt and realize just because they're the so-called free press doesn't make them necessarily the truthful press.

Yup, you're a real hero with your populism. Look how great that turned out.

People these days treat democracy like a damned religion instead of a system of governance. Turns out though that complex decisions often benefit from expertise instead of letting the lowest common denominator decide.

Lol sounds like this increases tax revenues by increasing the number of addicted smokers buying cigarettes and then taxing the sales.

Really sound government policy there.

It doesn't seem like neo-Nazism in this case but rather the long standing hate by Muslims if it makes any difference. From the news coverage I've seen of this, it seems like it was a mob of Muslims waving Palestinian flags.

This is total BS and people are upvoting it just because it sounds truthy.

Piracy links? Yeah, sure.

Archive links? Like OP said, even corporate Reddit allows those. The risk to a Lemmy instance from allowing this is literally zero. There is a rule of lawsuits among lawyers that you always look for the deep pockets because you can't get anything from a lawsuit if the defendant can't pay. There is no way Lemmy.world would be sued for this before Reddit, which actually has money to pay with. That's even setting aside the notion that linking to archives could be found to constitute copyright infringement.

From the article's sub headline: ”Palestinians in Beit Hanoun were instructed by Israeli army to leave their homes and head for city centre. Hours later, the city centre was targeted”
