Es wird geschätzt, dass dem deutschen Staat durch #CumEx jährlich 100 Milliarden verloren gehen.


Trotzdem ändert sich nichts. Das Personal ist nicht da. Es passiert einfach.

Was für ein menschenverachtendes System dies doch ist, dass deswegen die Sozialhilfe kürzt damit die Reichen sich selbst kriminell bedienen dürfen.

Հիշում եմ և պահանջում is a phrase that echoes louder every year on April 24th, Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.

This is my first time posting about this tragedy, but every child in Los Angeles has grown up knowing of the 1.5 million Armenians systematically exterminated by the Ottoman Empire.

In a time when my own country is increasingly complicit in enabling atrocities abroad, and when my president refused today to call genocide what it is, I am struggling more than ever with navigating the dichotomy of living in the liberal capital of a fascist autocracy.

Հիշում եմ և պահանջում means “I remember and I demand”, and it feels now like something I have to share. Because recognition is not just about the past-- it's about what we tolerate in the present.

History denied is history repeated, and I feel the weight of everything I was taught in history class growing up repeating itself now.

For the lost. For the survivors. For those still fighting to be seen.

So I quit my 50mg Zoloft 2 weeks ago and now this week I've been extremely dizzy. It is making work very difficult, and I am already not in a good place with my boss because he's a dickhead. Today I was probably the rudest I've ever been to him, and now I'm wondering if I need to stay on my Zoloft. I'd rather not be dependent on SSRIs, but every time I've tried going off, I have either quit a job or been fired. I'm just afraid that I'm an actual loony toon.

Ansarallah Launch Missile, Drone Attack on Zionist Targets in Tel Aviv, Haifa


The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday two military operations against vital Zionist targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The YAF’s Missile Force carried out a top-tier military operation targeting a vital Zionist site in the occupied Haifa area using a hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.

He confirmed that the missile successfully reached its target and that the Zionist interception systems failed to stop it, adding that the strike caused widespread fear and panic among settlers, with more than two million Zionists reportedly rushing to shelters.

Meanwhile, the YAF’s UAV Unit carried out another military operation, attacking another vital Zionist site in the occupied Palestinian city of Yafa (Tel Aviv) with a drone of the Yafa type, the spokesperson added.

Saree said the operations were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in rejection of the genocide in Gaza being committed by Zionists with US support.

The YAF spokesperson reiterated that the Yemeni people will neither retreat nor abandon their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties and will continue their path of Resistance in support of the oppressed Palestinian people until the Israeli war on Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the enclave is lifted.

On Tuesday evening, US aircraft carried out four airstrikes on the al-Salem district in Saada, northern Yemen and US-led strikes targeted Kamaran Island in the Red Sea in western Yemen, in addition to two airstrikes on the al-Salif district.

The bombing came after the YAF announced downing an American MQ-9 drone off the coast of Hajjah province that was conducting “hostile missions” in Yemeni airspace.

Saree said the US drone was shot down with a domestically produced surface-to-air missile, noting that this marks the seventh MQ-9 drone downed in April alone, and the 22nd since the beginning of the YAF’s military operations in support of Gaza.

In the same briefing, Saree mentioned that the YAF forces carried out two military operations targeting the US aircraft carriers USS Harry S. Truman and USS Carl Vinson, along with their accompanying warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.

Holy crap. Somehow auto-renew was turned off for most of my #domains at #Cloudflare and pretty much all of my domains had #expired and some were in the #redemption #period and others were in the late redemption period.

Let's just say #restoring a domain that is in the late redemption period is FUCKING EXPENSIVE.

Fuck me. But I would have lost everything. My email. Logins. All of my fedi instances. Everything.

Now to figure out how auto-renew got turned off.

And the only reason I knew anything was up was because let's encrypt told me it couldn't renew the cert for one of my rarely used domains.

Domain renewal fee: $10.44
Redemption Restoration Fee: $44.00 (!)

#America Underestimates the Difficulty of Bringing #Manufacturing Back


source: molsonhart.com/blog/america-un…

Chinese manufacturing labor isn’t just cheaper. It’s better.

In #China, there are no people who are too fat to work. The workers don’t storm off midshift, never to return to their job. You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do.

Chinese workers are much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills.

Would you steal the font for a campaign "You wouldn't steal a car"?


Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language ( bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/… )

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded ( web.archive.org/web/2005122320… ).

I haven't been on gab for months, but there was still a small contingent (or just a bot farm) of braindeads peddling and consuming that garbage.

Bitchute used to be full of "killary executed by military tribunal!11!" shit on the trending tab, but it seems they've winnowed it down to mostly "judeo-christian" conservatives and the odd "pam bondi is totally going to do something any minute now" videos.

The latter seems like the logical extension of qlarp. Pam Bondi is indeed the "whitehat" whose being "in control" is what we're witnessing now.

in reply to Old bastard

@Kusojiji i think a lot of those Q accts on gab are bots. how long could boomers maintain that level of enthusiasm? it just seems fake

bondi isn't making my dreams come true. if there was any valid criticism of trump last time it was his awful ineffectual AG appointments and he repeated the same mistake again. that, and his zionism. two biggest complaints. oh and that whole "warp speed" thing

Wife went on a little trip with her sister. This means I'm taking care of all her critters. She will pay dearly for this. She has this one ram that is absolutely huge. Biggest sheep I have ever seen. When standing in front of me his heat is level with my chest. He lowered his head and charged me. Probably because I'm not her. My buff sveltness made it easy to dodge him, but he kept coming. He weighs 2x me, but it became necessary to tackle him to the ground and show him who's boss. 1 of 2

Like to #play alone? #Ubisoft is still watching you!

Among other things, the company collects data about when you start a #game, for how long you play it and when you close it. Even after the complainant explicitly asked why he is forced to be #online, Ubisoft failed to disclose why this is going on. Under Article 6(1) #GDPR, there seems to be no valid legal basis to randomly collect such user data.

i figured out a way to do my battery discharge test of the LiFePo battery without running a space heater or wasting the charge.

just hooked up the shop lights and a fan, and using a DC clamp meter to measure the current, and then timing how long it takes to completely discharge the battery. this way i can discharge at like 7 amps without heating up the shop with a space heater or something :blackmanthinkingjpeg:

Even here in Washington State, gas has fallen from almost $5/gallon about $4.94 to $4.09 for regular, but our wonderful legislafuckers are trying to increase gasoline tax again even though we've already got the third highest gas tax in the nation and on top of that they claim they need the money, yet they have money to buy houses for blacks while they tax the rest of us out of ours.

I'm not happy with Zalenskyy's posturing, happy to wipe out the entire male half of his population in the name of pride. So there ya go. You and I both know you can stop this war in a heart beat, as you promised prior to election, by simply cutting off funds which are laundered back to use DemonRats for the most part anyway, weapons and intelligence. Or you can continue to support the slaughter of millions.

Well, he can go ahead and fuck right off. #Perplexity #AI #ads #privacy #security

i will have to apply for jobs soon, HR is pretty much always women, so putting this into consideration i made some important notes for my approach, i will be focusing on my strengths:
- make my professional skills list way too wordy and difficult for a woman to read so she immedietly doesn't read it and doesn't figure out i am middle of the road
- make sure to scale up my picture in my resume
- put the fact that i do singing and firefighting into my list of hobbies
- in the application also mention that i am single, and i really really love Older Office ladies completely randomly

i think this will improve my chances, what do you think?
