In the West Bank, Trump is giving Netanyahu a free hand to blow up the region in c/politics

This is literally the trolley problem. Do nothing because you don't want to "participate"--the trolley kills a dozen people. Choose to "participate" by pulling a lever--only one person will be killed.

It's idealism vs realism. Yes, ideally no one would vote for anyone funding Israel (or allow the trolley to kill anyone, to stick to the analogy), but if we think of the realistic outcomes that will happen, I'm going to pull the lever every time.

Choosing to opt out of engaging with the system is still a choice with real consequences.

I like the taste of the fun dip sticks and the taste of candy cigarettes from when I was a kid :c

Oh no, I might be a beige millennial. Help.

Some instances have automod for certain words. OP was just trying to post without getting caught in the filters. Be angry at the instances, not the OP.

Now I know for sure time travel never happens.

Eight years ago 500,000 marched in DC against Trump. He has returned and so has the protest - just on a smaller scale in c/news

If you like hating Eric Adams, I highly recommend the Eric Adams takes/episode from the If Books Could Kill Podcast.

RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users in c/technology

[–] littlewonder 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You know, the news about Chinese and American users comparing their worldviews seemed weird to me because it reads like this is the first time Chinese and American users have interacted and had the chance to talk "candidly".

My first thought was, "Why the fuck is this news? It's not like Chinese users can't interact on American platfor---"

...oh. Right. The great firewall.

Every time I see one in public... in c/linuxmemes

Did you use that build that's meant for Surfaces (the name is escaping me)? Or did you use a non-specialty OS and wrestle with the drivers?

I'm curious because I have a 4 Pro and 6 Pro and I've been hearing mixed things about the touchscreen and the pen on Linux.

The Washington Post kills off its "Democracy Dies In Darkness" slogan in c/[email protected]

The new slogan reads like a Fox News euphemism for selling entertainment as "news".

Do you think increasing ADHD diagnosis are due to better detection or "tiktok"? in c/asklemmy

[–] littlewonder 1 points 4 weeks ago

Same, and I limit short video scrolling on Instagram to doing it for a set amount of time with my partner, since it's like a little comedy break for us. I know myself well enough to avoid that shit like the plague, otherwise.
