Besides taking themselves too seriously, they also give vegetarianism and the concept of animal welfare a bad name.

He was already dead long ago before he ended up being a statistic this year.

Looking for Vegemite in the middle of nowhere OK.

That is truly Mankind.

Unlike Hogan.

Mick Foley says otherwise.

All the more good reason to look towards Japanese pro wrestling.

Leave the World Behind was quite a documentary.

Obviously yes, because once removed from social media an individual stops being compared against and forced into FOMO.

Otherwise it takes some technical skill to curate experiences in social media, like choosing whom to actually follow and interact, keeping only truly best friends, limiting how much personal information is given to Zuck, and using plugins and scripts to control how much actual content is being shown. As someone who lived with a dumb phone for a long time until 2012, it’s disgusting but is a necessary evil I have to be on social media in some form (not using my deadname), because the majority of the clients I have to deal with are mostly on Facebook Messenger nearly all the time.

In 1972, San Miguel Corporation under Danding Cojuangco was awarded lands in Bugsuk island as part of a deal with the administration of president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. as part of an agrarian reform program. In exchange the SMC ceded lands to the government in other parts of the country.[2] The SMC developed a coconut plantation. This caused a land dispute between the SMC and the indigenous people who insist on ancestral domain claims.[3][4]

Not new. If the island is bought and earmarked for development without them aware of the transaction then it is no surprise there will be a long war, given that they’re dealing with a corporation making some of its profits from extremely popular booze, and has already diversified such as building expressways and soon one of the largest airports on earth. With at least a handful of military generals on the take (hence why there are army outposts at any corporate development even in areas not known to have significant NPA presence, to block mainly left-wing protesters).

Therefore they should switch brands, like NOT buying anything from SMC: Red Horse, GSM, etc.

with a kid who is like 10 and can’t read.

And is exposed to all the garbage and domestic violence.

In so many ways.

Like growing anti-immigration mentality and selective xenophobia.

IDK, but it feels some of the younger ones are more pessimistic than their elders (who think it’s okay letting politicians have their way as long as they have their basic needs met), especially in terms of job security and income, and that got expanded further with their concepts of economic security and public safety.

They want to know where their taxes are going, and likewise – if they’re in the middle class as they claim – some of them are blaming the lower classes for their supposed misery for voting the “wrong” candidate.

Dickheads forget there’s the Posse Comitatus Act. Unfortunately it’s a matter of time they’ll try to get rid of it.

It could come to your country too unless you take action.

I’m in a developing country already out of the shadow of a gun-toting jackass who nearly sold us out to China, no thanks to disinformation, and currently having to deal with politicians and businessmen ripping off the government in infrastructure money.

The US may soon have the hardest fall unless something drastic happens.

FU SPEZ

If in doubt, raid the local used bookstore. Yeah, and do use uBlock Origin, Freetube as your YT front end, and maybe sail the high seas. Curate your entertainment.

I switch on the news and its 90% pure political propagandano matter the station.

I’m using Bluesky mainly as a newsfeed.

The triumph of disinformation, greed, and self-centered ultraconservatism; a country about to implode.

Yeah, some countries do have very strict standards for entry as much as the US; they’ll choose only those they deem worthy by their standards – entry is only possible with either level of wealth, skill sets, pedigree, language, or a combination of those.

However, there are some people in my country who envy and would even fight to get a chance to be American, despite the ongoing horrors in there, because they still equate citizenship in a developed country with wealth and supposed freedom from corruption.

Yet another chapter in the fucking AI craze started up by them fucking techbros.

Also, someone forgot that in some places in the world, people have to use older PCs with SATA drives. That, until their discontinuation announcements, Crucial and Samsung SATA drives were several tiers better than, say, those cheapo Ramsta drives.

Try Krita, too.

This is so much pay-to-win.
