  • They’ve been doing the same for Hamas. Hospital administrator? Hamas. And so Israel bombs out their apartment killing them and their entire family. You know, back when there were apartments.

    Same for police.

    That one is what gives away Israels genocidal intent. Getting rid of police gets rid of the first line of defense against civil disorder, and the people most likely to do stuff like distribute food and supplies.

    Police very rarely end up fighting as militantsin occupied countries, too. Unless you fire them en masse, which occupying countries shouldn’t do, if they’re smart.

    Edit: We do know multiple EMT teams and doctors were hit by the beepers.












  • I’ve been held at gun point three times in my life.

    Every time I was not doing anything illegal or even suspicious. I am white, not that that should make a difference, but we all know it does. EDIT: to be clear, I’m saying cops are racist, and unjustly target minorities.

    Each of those three times the person holding the gun was a power tripping asshole cop.

    I have been in several dangerous situations where a cop happened by, and just kept on going.

    I already live in a world where the police will not be there for me when I need them, and they solely present a danger with no benefit.

    You want to see people that are truly guided by a desire to help people? Go to a fire station or a hospital. Cops are not heroes, just assholes that want power over others.








  • I’m a sys admin/devops engineer, and yes, storage is far more expensive then people realize.

    This is the very definition of enshittification.

    EDIT: To those downvoting:

    Do you actually know what the definition of enshittification is? Apparently not.

    Enshittification (alternately, crapification and platform decay) is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

    It doesn’t matter that the cost of storage is a real thing. They gave things of value away for free to grow their user base and to try and capture network effects. Now that they think they have that they are taking away ( or decreasing ) the free stuff of value they gave away.

    The fact that storage has value is literally an important part of enshitification.

    It wouldn’t be enshitification if they gave away free stuff that wasn’t valuable.
