Ugh… reading this brought back some unpleasant memories from my own youth.
I am guessing that they were silent because it should have been pretty obvious that if anybody tried sneaking around, it was highly likely that a patroller or a guard would have spotted them and shot their ass off, and these grandparents gave this kid the silent treatment because it was less rude than yelling or insulting him. Still, I became more depressed reading this.
Belgian socdems posterboy Conner Rousseau, who had stepped down after he got caught drunkenly calling for racist motivated violence against minorities, has been reintroduced on the electoral list for the Vooruit party 🫠🫠🫠🫠
still don’t get how belgium is a country. and socdems lol
Left wing of fascism or something like that right
Oh I remember you talking about him before he also did some sexual harassment
He did. He also tried to bully journalists into not publishing the things he said during his racist rant. Left wing icon.
No dog pictures today, have one of a bee instead
Belgian bus manufacturer Van Hool officially declared bankruptcy today, costing at least 1800 jobs. The deciding thing seems to be the Belgian government opting to let BYD build busses because they are cheaper. I just hope it is 1800 people getting unemployment benefits + severance packages cheaper. Top notch thinking, effectively shutting down a company that has the knowledge and capacity to build more public transport, a vital thing for the future 👍 fucking idiots
Ngl but it is kind of poetic. Of course its a shame that the people will be the losers since the shareholders prob already have massive savings in a financial paradise.
That is what happenened in global south countries when forced to open their markets, the key difference being that the global south did not have the time to develop (nor colonies to accelerate growth through extraction) and belgium did have the time.
So it did not get nationalised?
Nope
Bus does not ride.
Car to expensive.
Guess we will walkSorry to hear that. You tried.
Went clubbing yesterday with friends and had a blast. Maybe clubbing a day before an exam wasn’t smart, since I have a huge hangover but don’t regret it (yet).
Kiribati?
Varadero , Cárdenas , Matanzas province , Cuba .
Wow, thought that was an atoll
@bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml I finally finished that Dialectical and Historical Materialism EPUB you asked for
Thanks! Finally be able to read Stalin on an ereader.
users are harassing a trans person in the freedesktop organization for banning a well known bad actor from contributing, the guy who made hyprland, who encourages and participates in queerphobic harassment, especially against trans people
It’s especially infuriating because previously people had reasonable discussions on /r/linux about how ridiculously shitty this guy is, but now pretend as if the accusations are completely unfounded, or pretend it doesn’t matter (the usual defense is “it’s his personal Discord, how can you ban him for stuff he does there??”), along with the usual complaints about “ideology infiltrating Linux” (this is especially hilarious seeing how many of these people also worship Richard Stallman), as well as the typical redditor idea that rules lawyering is perfectly valid because “debate” and any use of common sense moderation is “power tripping”
But all he has to do is say “Red Hat Bad!!” (this isn’t even a Red Hat thing really) and write a few one-sided blog posts directly naming and shaming and everyone goes nuts
Words can’t describe how upset I am at this situation, people like this are the absolute lowest scum of the Linux and free software community
Do you think they even realize how many of the people who write the software they rely on are queer 🤔

Can someone actually make sense of this lunacy? Is it true that 99% of drones intercepted by israel? And this concludes Iranian response lmao
Nah they’re bullshitting to save face
Them announcing the start and end of the attack is pretty sus, i’m pretty sure they just used this opportunity to test/exhaust their defensive munitions.
where are the sources tho?
he is a military analyst who is a former UN weapons inspector etc. Most of what this guy says can be trusted.
Hope its true, i absolutely despise their “invincible” posturing. Media is silent about this as usual.
To be honest, I feel like throughout this Nakba I cared too much about foreign Jews and not enough about the Palestinian gentiles, and a lot of that simply has to do with my gravitation towards Jewish cultures. There are other reasons: expectations that the devastation is already familiar to you, and my desire to avoid focussing on depressing news too much, but whether either of those is a good excuse I can’t tell. While appealing to self‐interest is generally a good idea, at the end of the day, this is (and should be) all about the Palestinians, not the foreign Jews on their stolen lands. I feel like my coverage has been unbalanced and without good reason, too.
On the other hand, skimming my submission history it doesn’t look like I neglected the Palestinian side that much, so maybe I’m being too hard on myself.
Happy Friday, comrades!
one guy is not having it

I’ve had a ticket for the Eurovision in Concert preparty since before the genocide after 7th of October started, but I’ve been questioning if I should go. Israel’s participant is not performing there, thats why I’m on the fence but I’m still leaning more towards not going. On the other hand, I already have the ticket, so it doesn’t matter if I go but there will also be a protest at the venue and I know that some of my acquainted comrades will be there and I don’t want them to think I support it.
it would probably be more satisfying to join the protest instead
and you’d be experiencing roughly the same level of noiseYeah, been thinking about it. That’s probably what I’m going to do. Plus it will be a nice story telling them I actually have a ticket but decided not to go.
Israel lost
Skill issue ngl (amazing, hopefully this is a step in the right path)
Good
