Μια παλιά φώτο από το 2024 παρουσιάζεται ως πρόσφατη ισραηλινή ρίψη βοήθειας.
Ο Άδωνις, το νεοναζιστικό υβρίδιο, δεν χάνει ευκαιρία να την ποσταρει στο Χ, και προσθέτει:
"Να δούμε τώρα τι άλλο θα βρουν να πουν για να κατηγορήσουν το Ισραήλ και να στοχοποιήσουν τον Εβραϊκό λαό οι ανόητοι αριστεροί της Δύσης"

Η εικόνα δείχνει τη ρίψη εφοδίων από αεροσκάφη των Ηνωμένων Αραβικών Εμιράτων, πάνω από τη Γάζα. Επιπλέον, δεν είναι πρόσφατο, αλλά από τον Οκτώβριο του 2024.

@androcat Now they’re stuck with stocks that won’t grow and companies that can’t exit or go public.

But the industry can’t blink, so Google acquires useless platforms that don’t make money and Anthropic considers buying it’s biggest customer Cursor. (Why in the hell would anyone do that)

Just for appearances. Nobody actually got rich. Frankly selling ”AI talent” seems like a better business model than making actual AI products! 😃

Couldn't sleep, so picked a movie to watch that I'd be fine with falling asleep to. Ended up being Moana 2. It's...fine. I pirated it out of the whole touchstone thing I'm doing with seeing where media culture is going, and it really just confirms what I and others have been saying about how disjointed and spastic family media is now. The term "key-jangling movies" has been tossed around a lot and it's very apt.

Unfortunately, all the key-jangling did make it hard to fall asleep.

Trying to argue that Zionism doesn't mean genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and nonstop violence and abuse is exactly the same as trying to argue that Nazism doesn't mean all the things that happened when the Nazism experiment was run. Nazism means all the things that happened under Nazism. You can't legitimately tell me that no actually Nazism just means a safe and prosperous homeland for the German people.

Are skettles vegan or are some of the food coloring ingredients or other ingredients made out of bugs or other animals

I think I heard rumor that skettles and or m&mcolorings are made out of bugs

Also once I found sherbert that had no milk and it had sugar possibly in the form of corn syrup and food coloring

And the food coloring numbers were made out of petroleum

It tasted great except that when it started to melt it started to smell like gasoline

Οι μερακλήδες στο ντουνιά,
Είναι οι Κυκλαδίτες,
Κάνουνε γλέντια ατέλειωτα,
Τις μέρες και τις νύχτες.
Ανάσα μου νησιωτική,
Θαλασσινέ μου αγέρα,
Τα βάσανά μου πάρε τα,
Και σκόρπισε τα πέρα.
Οι Κυκλαδίτες τη ζωή,
Ξέρουνε να γλεντάνε,
Από καρδιάς να τραγουδούν,
Και στο χορό πετάνε.🤝

Gianna Sisters Twisted Dreams

This is a jumping game

This game let's you switch between two sisters

Every time you switch the player character stays in the same place but some of the obstacles may change

Each sister has a different special move and if the settings are set a certain way using that move changes sisters

But you also can change sisters without using the special move

Some of the puzzles require memorization of when to change sisters so you do not die with split second timing

Love or hate Pragmata's hacking, it’s more than just a minigame

I loaded up a recent Pragmata demo in blissful ignorance – or, at the very least, regular ignorance – of the depth of feeling surrounding its central hacking system.

Da hat er wohl recht: „Milliardäre darf man nicht höher besteuern“. Denn jeder Cent mehr an Steuern wäre für diese die pure Folter.
Im „Ernst“: Hast du bzw. ihr mal darüber nachgedacht, was das für die dann verarmte Familie Schwarz bedeuten würde? Wohl kaum. Aber ich hab das gemacht und festgestellt, dass das nicht nur für die betroffenen Familien, sondern auch für uns eine Katastrophe sein könnte:
Das würde bedeuten, dass die dann prompt verarmte Familie Schwarz Bürgergeld beantragen müsste. Aber wie wir alle wissen, sind die auszufüllenden Anträge in einem Deutsch verfasst, dass selbst Akademiker diese kaum verstehen können. Aber kein Problem: Ich bin da gerne behilflich, denn das habe ich schon häufig gemacht.
Schlimmer ist aber, dass Herr und Frau Schwarz sich nun tagtäglich vor die Glotze legen und Privatfernsehen gucken müssen, sich dabei mit Bier besaufen und ihre Kinder auf den Strich bzw. zum Dealen auf die Straße schicken müssen. Ach ja: Und wenn sie dann zu einem ernsten Gespräch in die Schule gerufen werden, weil ihre Kinder, wenn überhaupt, nur selten in der Schule sind, dann müssen sie vorher 20 Kilometer zu einer Scheune laufen, um ihren Porsche dort rauszuholen, um damit zur Schule zu fahren, die fußläufig 5 Minuten von ihrem Haus entfernt ist. Sollten Sie bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt Bücher in ihren Regalen und Schränken gehabt haben, sind diese umgehend zu entfernen. Und ganz wichtig: Bücher lesen ist auch danach verboten, aber dazu haben sie nun ja auch keine Zeit mehr (s.o.) …
Ganz klar: Das Alles kann man der Familie Schwarz nicht zumuten und deswegen ist auch eine Auswanderung, z.B. auf die Bahamas, unumgänglich.
Aber auch das stelle ich mir nicht gerade einfach vor: Auswanderung mit 3250 LIDL-Filialen.? Das weiß doch jeder, das die doch gar nicht in 3 kleine Köfferchen passen. Und jeder der bereits aus- oder umgezogen ist, weiß, dass ein solcher Umzug nicht gerade billig ist und verdammt viel Arbeit macht: Alles, d.h.: Gebäude, Parkplätze, Laternen, Einkaufswagen, Regale, Waren,..., einpacken, Nachsendeantrag bei der Post stellen, LKW mieten, Helfer besorgen und für den Tag des Umzugs genügend Essen und Trinken für die Helfer:innen bereitstellen.
Hut ab, denn da hat sich die Familie Schwarz wirklich viel vorgenommen.
Aber danach warten ja noch ganz andere Probleme auf diese Familien. Stellt euch vor, die kommen nun auf den Bahamas an und müssen feststellen, dass sie als Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge nicht einreisen dürfen und/oder die Einheimischen keine LIDL-Filialen (mehr) haben wollen. Was dann? Zurück in ihre alte Heimat oder in die Wüste? - Wüste. Wüste? Wüste. Hey, keine schlechte Idee, denn da ist ganz viel Platz nicht nur für die Familie Schwarz, sondern auch für alle anderen, wie z.B. die Albrecht-Brüder, Rewe, Edeka, KiK,.... Nur Mut, ihr werdet, was die Plätze betrifft, euch bestimmt einig werden.
