they missed #4

Hasbara: Anyone who even says the word genocide is Hamas

I won’t shit on your taste except to note that I completely dont understand why so many people like taylor swift… but I’d have high hopes for the khruangbin, I’ve been hearing some on the radio and liking it, and theres at least some very catchy tracks from vampire weekend, if not amazing IMO, but I haven’t listened to the album through or anything.

we’ve finally done it!!! how to delete someone else’s post

She did a fundraiser for Palestine and they told her it was too little too late and that she didn’t give a shit about Palestinian children.

A kids content creator using their platform to fundraise for a worthy cause that is (though wrongly,) seen as highly controversial and political is great. Its not revolutionary, but its productive and its normalizing in a way that politics-focused people speaking out is not. Why the hell was she being harassed?

yesss we’re back! I’m hyped, very interested in getting some boards made and soldering them up once its consolidated onto one board

seems like it’s particular to the person and their hair/skin but what I’ve gathered is that you take the machine and a tweezers, insert a fresh needle into the holder. lightly insert the needle at the root of the hair, parallel to the direction the hair is coming out. you basically just let it slide in until it reaches the root of the follicle, where it will meet some resistance. Then you trigger the pulse with the foot switch, and see if the hair will come out with the tweezers. if the follicle is properly destroyed, it should slide out with basically no resistance. if it does not come right out you can increase the power and try again, dont pluck it ofc.

Doing it to yourself is gonna be pretty damn challenging or impossible on many parts of the body but you could maybe find a partner willing to help. Seems like there are training videos online that might help learn proper technique as well but I cant vouch for any specific ones

I dunno we have at least one poster in lebanon, idr where in the region theyre originally from but they have an interesting perspective in the news mega

yeah but if you do some googling, it seems they actually did add such isolation in the past couple years. Though from what I read, the isolation still isnt as good as chromium’s, its not fair to say they don’t have it

honestly he wasnt even much of a socdem. He just did some trust busting and regulation. Far from the worst liberal pres we’ve had tho.

Modi on the other hand…

its run by reactionaries so I dont usually mention it but if you just need to look up the occasional tweet there is still nitter.poast.org

not like twitter isnt also run by reactionary(/ies)

I didnt. sucks to hear that’s happening. the whole fucking internet is on such a failed witchhunt for bots that making anonymous accounts is a giant pain nin the ass now.

what security issues? genuinely curious, I no longer use it but havent heard anything particularly out of ordinary

I know it used to have a certain reputation/one specific issue but that’s been fixed for years

show was good because thats actually how dumb the tech industry is

ngl nobody cares about iowa outside of primary season and even then most people dont care about presidential primaries, so idk why most people outside the midwest would know about des moine, iowa

Got it

my company is getting out of the mobile app business and mostly focusing on PWAs and backend stuff, otherwise I’d see if we had any openings…

What kind of tech, if you don’t mind sharing? a rough list of technologies and tools you’re familiar with or specialize in might help narrow things down a bit (or if you’d rather get out of tech, understandable.)

I only know like one person IRL who’s been forced back to the office, but I suppose my circle is small. remote work is still out there but the demand is high

edit: I know someone not-super-technical who’s gotten into the salesforce niche and always seems to be in demand lately

I don’t love love plumbing but I’ll do it 30 hrs a week if it needs doing and I dont have to worry about my basic needs not getting met (especially when I get too old or injured to keep plumbing)

most shitty jobs aren’t that shitty if you take away the profit motive and treat people with a little dignity.

unpasteurized milk is also a risk and theres definitely people drinking that. its not well adapted to human spread yet but letting it spread unchecked through the US’s like 40 million cows and potentially other animals too, is a great way for it to acquire the mutations necessary to get a foothold in humans and start killing.

and its influenza… we already know it has that potential
