Israel arms ISIS-jihadists to fight against Hamas just like they armed Hamas to fight against the PFLP.

You may ask yourself β€œwhen will they ever learn?” but that's assuming the Israeli government's goal is to live in peace. Why should they need to learn, when arming terrorist groups that destabilize and escalate this conflict isn't a mistake?

Considering how much genocide, ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism and hence the expansion of their borders they have been able to justify due to hamas; considering their main argument behind stopping the entry of humanitarian aid was because they were sometimes raided by terrorist militias, which as it now turns out they funded, it was a worthy investment.

@unknownpseudoartist we both put out music with cats. you and i understand the internet πŸ˜›
i also like that you have your own site! im at work but got a tab open for you. ill be checking out your tunes when i get home!

also, you should check out indieart.support and shout out with your artist details @hello to get on the directory!

in reply to Unknown Pseudoartist

so im inclined to scold you for all your self-deprecation but then i would be a hypocrite. but i do like this part:

"Basically this is that kind of music you'd expect to find in a random MySpace or Soundclick profile in the 2000s. That kind of thing you'd get 128k MP3 downloads in a static HTML site. That kind of stuff that would normally be done by some passionate young person who just discovered they can do cool stuff to share online in a cyberworld full of people willing to discover and listen more random, creepy stuff like this. "

and i think you'll find plenty of company around here. especially as a #caturday-er.

anyways, you do a really good job with bass sounds. the overall tonal quality and just getting bass synth sounds. often times better than actual bass guitar but let's not awaken the bassists, right? i aint tryna die right before the weekend.
favorite track on the placeholder of something... i think gotta be absurd. ill check out the other album after this last listen.

in reply to benda

hey thanks a lot for listening! this means a lot to me ❀️ (even if I don't agree with my fake bass sounding any better than real bass haha)

Regarding the self-deprecant comments... well, it's complicated, but let's say I was in a bad time and dealing with a bad situation in certain communities regarding harsh criticism and I was tired of that, and just felt the need to break with that and go more my way without any pressure. Feeling a lot better about that already, so no worries πŸ˜€

in reply to Unknown Pseudoartist

thats good to hear. theres a lot of pressure from our economic and societal systems to make the creation of art something that turns a profit, or needing to be a certain amount of prolific. all nonsense. the point of making art is the part where you are making it. that journey, that mindset. the best therapy, imho (or at least thats what i keep telling myself bc hell no i;m not paying for therapy lol).
in reply to benda

heck yeah! Couldn't agree more. In fact sometimes it's not even about economic stuff but more like some folks pretending to be Yngwie Malsteen (even when Yngwie seems to be not that arrongant anymore haha), or obsessing on production/mixing (which can be kinda elitistic, since oftentimes that's more a matter of money and expensive tools rather than simply doing stuff). Art should be more about having fun and expressing things, not about bratting or obsessing on getting better at it!
in reply to benda

and yeah, I like the idea behind the paragraph you quoted! I can't say I was a huge fan of everything that was done in the internet in the mid-late 2000s, and it wasn't the greatest times for many people (too much of bigot bullsh*t, you know). But when it comes to art and creatives stuff, definitively missing that special charm and the prominence of more amateur-ish attitude, in the best way. I just love the underground side of music and art πŸ˜€ and it's a pity some of that got lost.

It’s easier to understand conservatives when you realize that they operate on a system of vertical morality while we operate on a system of horizontal morality. In a system of horizontal morality, something is right or wrong based on whether it causes harm, violates consent, etc regardless of the social status or class of an individual. In a system of vertical morality something is right or wrong based solely on whether an authority figure says so or not
in reply to Danielle ForΓ©

This is why they say things like, β€œwithout god what’s to stop you from going around murdering and raping?” In their system of morality, those things are only bad because an authority said they were bad. And when the authority says they are okay, they’re okay. Which looks inconsistent to us, but makes perfect sense to them.

This is why they also think that abolishing the police would result in the purge for example. They can’t conceptualize morality independent from authority

in reply to Danielle ForΓ©

So when you wonder, β€œHow can they flip flop on liking Elon?” It’s easy: Elon is good when their authority tells them he is good and he’s bad when the authority tells them he is bad. It doesn’t matter that Trump is a rapist or a cheat or racist or anything else, because the authority said he is good. That is the only requirement. Everything is built on appeal to authority
in reply to Danielle ForΓ©

Your geometric organization of these two morality systems is a really nice mental picture.

I've always found it impossible to convince certain family members to see certain issues from pluralist perspectives, and this "vertical morality" is exactly why.

I suspect we are seeing the result of Christianity's alignment with violent state power structures pervading its history.

We should not forget Christianity is a cult of an authoritarian theocratic religion.

in reply to Danielle ForΓ©

and there's a mountain of harmful ideological baggage hiding under that deference to authority, lots of ugly assumptions about "human nature", that nobody knows any better and must be told to be good, where the definition of "good" was locked at the beginning of time and cannot be questioned rather than being an ongoing consensus based on what we experience of human joy and suffering. entirely different ways of responding to the fact that humans can learn to be, do, anything.

So some Democratic politicians actually got the memo, but clearly others are flailing. To help them out, I’d like to offer my sage political wisdom. Try the following message:

1. Kick Trump out.
2. Tax the living shit out of billionaires.
3. Use the money to get folks back on their feet and clean up this mess.

Just that. Simple and direct, no fussing around. Give that a try and see how it lands. Float a trial balloon in some minor swing district election and see what happens.

tried watching a restream of the game fes bullshit show

couldn't last more than 5 minutes before an illogical discomfort and rage took handle of me so i decided to stop

i don't think i can ever go back to watching those shitshows tbh
not now knowing that majority of it is slop(with denuvo mind you) if not outright subversive leftoid shit

Occasional renewal of the prediction that Trump will not finish his term, and I think it's even plausible he'll be out by the midterms.

The current situation is unsustainable, even for the people who are benefiting most from it. Those people will, of course, try to keep him in place as long as they can, but it's a losing battle. With a lot of ugly tradeoffs in the meantime.

Sadly, Dem leadership are among the ones who believe they benefit. They don't even try to hide it. Schumer and Jeffries, like the fash faction and theocrat faction, want to keep Donny Littlehands in the Oval Office as long as possible, because they think that's what's best for them. Lesser techbros will start turning on Trump now, with Musk and Thiel paying the bills, but they can't do much harm without getting hurt back. And the bigger techbros (Goog, MS, FB, Apple, Amazon) are basically part of the Big Bidness faction. That faction isn't going to defect until the very very last minute.

BTW if you want to be horrified go look for Jeffries's response when a journalist asked if he was planning to do anything about Trump having crossed Jeffries's "red line" of congressional arrests. When I say he'll be much worse than Pelosi that's what I mean. Pelosi was good at procedure and knew how to use money to whip. The only things Jeffries is good at are passing the buck and reassuring donors.

That means the rest of us just have to hope we survive, and that midterms don't get derailed by a terrorist attack, and Trump doesn't get martyred in a way that cements GOP power, or any of a dozen other obvious that could wreck the possibility of Dems regaining control of one or both chambers.

fyi all you tech bros salivating over some kind of "ai assistant" that's intelligent enough to understand you and act on your desires, but for some reason doesn't need to be treated with respect or be given any sort of compensation at all...

hate to break it to you but you're reinventing something again, and it's definitely not something good

Been off my anti depressants since April now and now I feel like I've reached a state of craziness. I've developed an unhealthy obsession with someone (who hopefully doesn't know, but I did send a Facebook request), and am not sleeping at night. If I don't work through this over the weekend, I'm afraid it is back to the Zoloft for me.

Keep checking my fb to see if the request is accepted, and I'm guessing it will not be. Keep checking said persons active status on Teams at work. Keep trying to walk past said person. I am a psycho.

Also in the strangest coincidence, when I tried messaging said person at work, it actually failed to go through. You can't block internal people so that was fucking weird.

Sure, people could move away to more liberal/open platforms like PeerTube, but the audience there is too fragmented and small to sustain creators financially. Things just aren’t quite there yet


And why are people on YouTube? Because that’s where the content is. Viewers won’t move away until after content creators do. You are the people with the power to do this.

If the g flag is not used, only the first complete match and its related capturing groups are returned.


It returns the first match (which is aabb) and its capturing groups, which in this case are (aa) (matching "aa") and (bb) (matching "bb").

@notype @barubary well im a third of the way through the course, the lesson is on regex, although they already covered /regex/g and /regex/i in a earlier lesson. it doesnt seem to complicated for where i am at right now, its just they didn't really explain it. just threw it out there along with a method that they didn't teach me either. that's what really threw me off is i didn't realize the .match() method was also returning the search elements.
in reply to benda

@notype @barubary I came at this a different way, and wondered what the heck the /d modifier is doing. Turns out:

1) W3schools is completely wrong about what it does (shocker, I know πŸ™„); and
2) All it does is add a particular extra bit of information to the return value.

I'm getting my info from stackoverflow.com/a/73947884, to which I am greatly indebted, and major props to SO user Andrejs. I reproduced their work with the text and RE under consideration here. 1/2

i got my regex introduction from the perl book. simple, no-nonsense: perldoc.perl.org/perlre

here's another classic book, though more hefty: regex.info/book.html

whatever you do with these old documents, skip over the software specifics (which are outdated) & go directly to the regex syntax (which has barely changed since).

How it should have been:

Xorg and Wayland competing with one another to be the best. People choosing whatever they like like.

What's really happening:

Intentionally not merging pull requests that improve xorg. Closing merge requests and issues en mass. Apps dropping support for xorg and forcing people to use wayland.

Instead of "let the best person win", it's "let me win".

@istvan @bonifartius Support for more than 4GiB of memory on a system that runs many programs is necessary - after all a computer with the power to run 40,000 programs at the same time cannot do so if there is a 4GiB memory limit.

Although that can be achieved even on a 32 bit processor with nasty hacks, such kind of cruft is best avoided.

The x86 instruction set and the way arguments are passed is horrible - the AMD64 instruction set solves many of the issues and is quite pleasant in comparison.

The X32 ABI may be of interest to you, as that is mostly 64bit, except with 32bit pointers - meaning the AMD64 semantics can be used, but programs are limited to 4GiB of memory (but you can also run specialized software that needs more memory than that with 64 bit pointers too).

Japan has not only issued an apology to its citizens for its disastrous effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, it has declared a State of Emergency and started investigating these crimes for due punishment.

Japan has launched several scientific inquiries and will persue criminal investigation to both establish the truth and subsequently punish the perpetrators.

Is this the beginning of a Nuremberg 2.0?
Panic has hit the globalist elites, the cabal, and and Big Pharma. In their terror being discovered by the Japanese, they will do everything possible to discredit these investigations.

And the mainstream media has undoubtedly been instructed to create a total media blackout of this devastating news. This is evident.

But we must be that voice for the people. We cannot allow the elites to further gaslight the public.

"Merz remains silent - Trump boasts about Nord Stream stop

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’₯ β€œI was the one who stopped Nord Stream 2. I sent this to Germany... I'm sorry - or not.” - Donald Trump, live in front of cameras.

πŸ“ And sitting right next to him is German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Silent. In agreement. Not a word of indignation.

What does that mean?
➑️ The German chancellor sits wordlessly by as the former US president openly admits to destroying Europe's most important energy connection - and does so in a tone of mockery.
➑️ Trump makes it clear: it was never about freedom or security - it was about American gas, American interests and geopolitical control.
➑️ He even calls it part of a possible trade deal. Energy as a means of blackmail.

πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Merz's silence is consent. The closest US ally in Europe - and no dissent, no β€œHow dare you?”, no protection of German sovereignty.

❗️Was Is this a chancellor who sits next to someone who openly talks about sabotage - and who simply lets it stand?
❗️Was Is this a German foreign policy that allows the destruction of critical infrastructure to be publicly served up by its β€œpartner” of all people?"

i’ve been investigating trump for 10 years and have yet to find a link to epstein. other than the fact that epstein scouted his targets at trump’s country club. and that they used to party together. and that trump had him killed so the feds could collect the blackmail he had on him. and that trump has constantly said how attracted he is to young girls and how two of his wives were trafficked internationally. and how trump tried to sell off his oldest daughter. and how he’s been accused of rape.
