The prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) truthfully described the problem of inceldom:

“There are incels who were born that way, and there are incels who have been made incels by others—and there are those who choose to live like incels for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” Jesus identifies three types of “incels” here: natural incels (“born that way”), forced incels (“made incels by others”), and voluntary incels (“those who choose”).

Truecels, or the truest incels, are born with facial deformities such as lopsided faces or eyes that are too close together or too far apart... but most incels today have been created by man. It's just not possible to buy a house and have 3-4 children anymore, and most women aren't interested in it. If you're a man in your 20s and you've got good income from a job, and cheap rent somehow, then you'll likely have to wait until your mid-thirties until all the women have got the careers and promotions that they want. Then they will "settle".

It's almost as if our society is designed to create more incels. Personally I am a volcel. Society is a cruel joke and I'd rather become an orthodox priest, than work 12 hours a day in a busy warehouse, driving forklifts or carrying timber. Sometimes I question why I bother contributing to society.

Fuck jesus, and fuck you for following that fictional loser.

"Jesus identifies three types of “incels” here: natural incels (“born that way”), forced incels (“made incels by others”), and voluntary incels (“those who choose”)."


That's not a thing. You're just full of shit. You can't even tell reality from this bullshit religious fiction.

That's why you're a voluntary celibate. Your religion talked you into devoting your life to them. Which makes you a giant fucking loser. Because everything you dedicated your life to is just stupid religious hate fiction.

The public's "mood" on immigration didn't come from nowhere.

It was manufactured by a nativist political party, a compliant media that refuses to distinguish between lies and reality, and a reactionary political opposition that would rather "just not".

Basically, for the last 30 years GOP/Maga has been inventing lies about immigration, the media has been reporting them uncritically and without context, and the Democrats have been like "WE AGREE!"

So if you want someone to blame...

in reply to John

The point here is that when you let disingenuous or evil political arguments fester, they eventually *become the conversation*.

GOP/Maga is *extremely* good at this long game of seeding cultural "truths" for decades and then reaping huge rewards as shortsighted and feckless politicians, businesspeople, and liberals dismiss them.

It helps that there has never been a major political party as narratively incompetent as the modern Democratic Party.

The Weaponization of NGOs: A Critical Look at Their Role in Post-War America
southfloridaconservative.com/p…
What began as benevolent outreach increasingly morphed into strategic instruments of influence, manipulation, and, ultimately, subversion. Today, many NGOs function less as public service organizations and more as ideological weapons—deployed against both foreign regimes and, increasingly, the American Republic itself.

#Palestine / Norway: Israel's Gaza actions endanger global Human Rights Law

#Norway’s international development minister warns that #Israel is setting a dangerous precedent for international human rights law violations in #Gaza which he states is making the world more dangerous by potentially normalizing the use of food as a weapon and restricting humanitarian aid access.

Norway, which recognized the Palestinian state last year, condemns these clear violations and maintains open dialogue with all parties, including Hamas, for long-term peace.

The Norwegian oil fund has blacklisted companies assisting Israel's occupation, adhering to rules against investing in anything that contributes to a violation of international law.

the classic cronjob workaround works great.

The command /usr/bin/openrgb --profile /home/user/.config/OpenRGB/test.orp
runs fine, loads the test.orp Setting i saved with openrgb-GUI. Until the keyboard goes back to default after 4 min or so. It uses the profile

Therefore i made a cronjob that does the same, just every 3 minutes:

A Farewell to Zeus, The Owl with Galaxy Eyes 😥


From Wildlife Learning Center

It is with shattered hearts that we share the passing of Zeus, our beloved Western screech owl, who touched the hearts of people from literally around the world. Though blind, Zeus adapted remarkably well to his disability and had a calm, gentle presence that left a lasting impression on everyone who met him.

Zeus came to live at Wildlife Learning Center 15 years ago after being found on someone's doorstep. He was treated at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where it was determined that he was blind due to trauma-perhaps he had flown into a window. We will never know for certain what happened to Zeus; all we know is that he was found helpless, unable to navigate the world on his own, and would require human care for the remainder of his life.

His distinctive eyes, which appeared to hold a galaxy or stars, captivated everyone he met, from visitors at Wildlife Learning Center to his social media fame from around the world. His eyes told the story of a tiny owl with a vast spirit, sparking curiosity and awe. Zeus was more than an ambassador for wildlife; he inspired a connection with nature that reached far and wide.

Under our care, Zeus was monitored closely, including weekly weighing to track his health. Despite eating well, Zeus began to lose weight. Blood tests showed no abnormalities, so a CAT scan was performed, revealing a large, and sadly, inoperable kidney tumor. There was nothing that could be done to save his life, so we ensured he was comfortable until it was time to say goodbye.

Zeus will always be remembered for his unique way of connecting with people and for the fascination he brought to so many. His memory will live on in our hearts and in the countless lives he touched. We will continue to honor him by sharing his story and helping other animals like him.

The world feels a little less bright without our treasured Zeus.


I know we've talked about Zeus here before, he had been Internet famous for a long time, after all. I first brought him up in a discussion about Burrowing Owls with a similar looking, but different, condition.

He was also shared by @ickplant@lemmy.world about a month ago, and I was happy to learn he was still alive then. (Post link here)

But sadly, he is now no longer with us. I am glad he got to enjoy a long and loving life for an owl with a serious medical condition. I'm so glad he was found and cared for.

Rest in peace, little buddy. The world doesn't get too many famous owls, but you certainly were one! ❤️🦉✨

Allemagne : fermeture de "Red. Media", pro-russe et pro-palestine - Par Loris Guémart | Arrêt sur images


#politique #propagande #UE #démocratie

L'UE devient de plus en plus autoritaire, épisode 35254.

Une sanction prise dans la droite ligne des sanctions décidées hors du cadre légal habituel contre les médias d'État russes RT et Sputnik lors de l'invasion de l'Ukraine en 2022. Plutôt qu'une décision de fermeture, le Conseil de l'Union européenne, qui réunit les gouvernements des États-membres, a décidé le 20 mai dernier, à travers sa dernière fournée de sanctions contre les soutiens de la Russie, d'y intégrer le fondateur et gestionnaire de Red. Media, Hüseyin Dogru, dont la société-mère AFA Medya opère en Turquie.

Pour quels motifs ? D'abord parce que sa société "a des liens financiers et organisationnels étroits avec des entités et acteurs de la propagande d'État russe et qui partage des liens structurels profonds, y compris des interactions entre des membres du personnel ainsi qu'une rotation de ceux-ci, avec des organisations de médias d'État russes". Des éléments déjà rendus publics par deux enquêtes de médias allemands, le Tagesspiegel et Taz, avaient notamment pointé que Hüseyin Dogru était chargé de liquider les actifs du média d'État russe destiné à un public jeune, de gauche et germanophone Redfish... et que Red. Media avait ensuite réutilisé en les renommant les comptes de Redfish sur les réseaux sociaux. Elles mettaient aussi en lumière l'emploi par Red. Media de journalistes exerçant auparavant pour d'autres médias d'État russes, y compris Hüseyin Dogru.

Mais ces sanctions ont aussi été prises parce que Red. Media aurait propagé "systématiquement de fausses informations sur des sujets politiquement controversés dans le but de créer des dissensions ethniques, politiques et religieuses au sein de son public cible, principalement allemand, y compris en diffusant des récits de groupes terroristes islamistes radicaux tels que le Hamas". Un seul exemple est donné : "Au cours de l'occupation violente d'une université allemande par des émeutiers anti-israéliens, le personnel de Red s'est coordonné avec ces occupants pour diffuser des images de leurs actes de vandalisme - qui comprenaient l'utilisation de symboles du Hamas - par les canaux en ligne de Red, leur fournissant ainsi une tribune médiatique exclusive." Cet argument est le seul mis en avant par Red. Media pour expliquer sa fermeture. Il se rapporte notamment à l'occupation d'une université berlinoise ayant engendré l'enquête du Tagesspiegel. Et à la diffusion d'une vidéo virale d'un enfant poursuivi par la police allemande lors d'une manifestation pro-palestinienne – pour l'arrêter selon Red. Media, pour le ramener à ses parents d'après la police allemande. C'est aussi celui qui interroge le plus, notamment au regard du fait que les médias allemands sont encore bien plus pro-israéliens que leurs homologues français.

Comment expliquer le silence total des médias allemands et des syndicats allemands de journalistes ? Peut-être parce qu'en sus de leur refus éditorial de porter le regard sur Gaza, ils gardent en tête la croisade de Red. Media contre le journaliste de la Taz Nicholas Potter. Il a en effet été attaqué notamment parce qu'en sus de son enquête pour le quotidien berlinois, il a aussi publié un article attaquant Red. Media ainsi que les médias de gauche MintPress News et The Grayzone dans le Jerusalem Post. Le titre, "Au sein des médias d'extrême gauche qui, soutenus par Moscou, Damas, et Téhéran, attaquent Israël" ne faisait pas dans la demi-mesure malgré des preuves moins éclatantes dans le corps du texte – MintPress News, par exemple, a fermement démenti tout lien financier avec les pays concernés, pour lequel Nicholas Potter n'apportait d'ailleurs pas de preuve.

Dans son article d'annonce de sa fermeture, Red. Media met de nouveau en cause Nicholas Potter, ainsi que la Taz, le Tagesspiegel, les syndicats de journalistes allemands... et Reporters sans frontières (RSF), qui avait évoqué le harcèlement en ligne subi par Potter dans son rapport annuel allemand – RSF n'a pas répondu aux sollicitations d'ASI. "Red.Media aurait pu défendre sa position sans lancer des attaques personnelles contre Potter", fait remarquer à ASI le secrétaire général de la Fédération européenne des journalistes (FEJ) Ricardo Gutiérrez.

"Red. Media va fermer, voici pourquoi"
"Red. Media va fermer, voici pourquoi"

Red. Media, 16 mai 2025

"Ceci étant dit, comme dans le cadre du dossier RT/Sputnik, la FEJ continue à regretter que les gouvernements européens, par l'intermédiaire de décisions du Conseil européen, s'octroient le pouvoir de censurer des médias, sans analyse sérieuse des reproches adressés à ces médias par un organe de régulation indépendant", poursuit néanmoins Ricardo Gutiérrez. Les sanctions décidées contre Hüseyin Dogru, avec des "accusations graves [...] ni démontrées ni étayées par des faits et des preuves", ont "pour conséquence directe la fermeture d'un média allemand, qui jouait un rôle d'intérêt public essentiel par sa couverture soutenue des manifestations pro-palestiniennes en Allemagne." Et le secrétaire général de la FEJ de conclure : "La FEJ condamne à nouveau cette décision intergouvernementale qui a toutes les apparences d'une décision arbitraire. Les médias qui ne respectent pas la déontologie et qui s'inscrivent dans une logique propagandiste ou déstabilisatrice peuvent certes faire l'objet de retraits de licence ou de sanctions, mais en Europe, sur base des standards légaux existants, c'est à des organes de régulation indépendants de prendre de telles mesures. Pas à des gouvernements."

Good to see that at least one journalist doesn't fall to the hype.

If the CEO of a soda company declared that soda-making technology is getting so good it’s going to ruin the global economy, you’d be forgiven for thinking that person is either lying or fully detached from reality.

Yet when tech CEOs do the same thing, people tend to perk up.

“It is for your own good!” says Romania’s hybrid regime

EU is getting more authoritarian by the day. Kill the beast !

In January 2025, The Economist delivered a devastating verdict: Romania had become the European Union's first "hybrid regime", downgraded from its previous "flawed democracy" status in the British newspaper’s yearly Democracy Index. The trigger was Romania's Constitutional Court annulling the first round of presidential elections based on what The Economist described as "murky intelligence reports" with evidence that was "at best, questionable".

Full ban on Russian energy? EU continues to commit economic suicide

As one German commentator observed: “The planned ban on Russian gas imports has little to do with the war in Ukraine — and everything to do with the American trade war. The EU is capitulating to Trump. The cost of that capitulation will be devastating, especially for Germany”.

AI isn’t an existential threat to humanity, capitalism and corporations are.

You see, we created capitalism, a religion modeled on cancer, and the corporation, a new, artificial species; a parasite that co-opts human beings to do its bidding; an organism that’s psychopathic by design and grows by extracting from and exploiting us and our habitat.

And we now find ourselves ruled by this religion and driven to ruin by these parasites as they drain our humanity, destroy our habitat, and condemn our future.

Your enemy is capitalism.

Your enemy is the corporation.

This is an existential battle against a cancerous ideology and an invasive species for the survival of our own.

I wanted to buy the last issue as Memorabilia, but their site is quite confusing.

When you try to buy it, the May 2025 issue on MagazinesDirect (where they point you to) shows the issue from two months earlier, (Make Linux Mobile) as the May 2025 issue, which I find confusing. If I buy, which one would I get?

Would I get "25 Years of Linux" or "Make Linux Mobile"?

My guess is that the paper editions get published late with a delay.

Edit: The June edition (published 29th April) has now appeared, so I guess that around the end of June, or beginning of July, the last issue will appear.

Es ist also auch eine komplette Fehleinschätzung so zu tun, als wäre nur Netanyahu das Problem.

Wenn wir irgendwelche Äußerungen Netanyahus in den deutschen Medien hören, dann sind das - so übel sie auch klingen mögen - das was ihm diplomatisch vertretbar erscheint, bei dem schon der Druck der US-Regierung und anderer Regierungen mit eingepreist ist.
Echtes Handeln in Gaza, der Westbank wird bestimmt und umgesetzt von Extremisten die noch viel weiter rechts sind als Netanyahus Äußerungen.

Deren Ziele sind auch nichts was irgendwie in einer Form unklar wäre: Komplette Vertreibung aller Palästinenser, oder eine Existenz ohne jede Menschenrechte, ohne jede Selbstbestimmung, ohne jede Bewegungsfreiheit.

Und diese Variante ist noch die freundlichere Variante der Extremisten in Israel. Wenn man der kürzlich in Haaretz veröffentlichten Umfrage glauben mag, dann ist ein beträchtlicher Teil der israelischen Gesellschaft noch deutlich extremer eingestellt.

The Who Cares Era | dansinker.com


#society #slop #misinformation #collapse

A pretty sure sign of a dying civilisation if you ask me.

Earlier this week, it was discovered that the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer had both published an externally-produced "special supplement" that contained facts, experts, and book titles entirely made up by an AI chatbot [...]

The writer didn't care. The supplement's editors didn't care. The biz people on both sides of the sale of the supplement didn't care. The production people didn't care. And, the fact that it took two days for anyone to discover this epic fuckup in print means that, ultimately, the reader didn't care either.

It's so emblematic of the moment we're in, the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore.
