Bingo.

I have people who I actually want to receive calls from on the "pass through" list, but when I just want to relax? Everyone else goes straight to voicemail.

Normalize turning on DND permanently.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I absolutely believe the IRS needs to be funded enough to go after these ghouls (aka the opposite of "Starve the Beast"), but the first thing they did after the last increase in funding was go after people that sold more than 600$ a YEAR online (Ebay, Mercari...etc.) despite "The IRS insists it will not be targeting low to middle-income households"

They only delayed it for one year after the outcry. So yeah, I'll believe it when I actually see it.

Skepticism is healthy in this day and age, but that site is also biased btw. Even the founder says their methodology isn't unbiased.

When determining bias, there isn’t any true scientific formula that is 100% objective. There are objective measures that can be calculated, but ultimately there will be some subjective judgment to determine these. We have put up a scale with a yellow dot on each page that shows the degree of bias for each source. Each page also has a “detailed report” section that gives some details about the source and explains their bias.

When calculating bias, we are looking at political bias, how factual the information is, and links to credible, verifiable sources. Therefore, the yellow dot may indicate political bias or how factual a source is, or in many cases, both. It is important to note that our bias scale is based on the USA political scale, which may differ from other countries. For example, the Democratic Party of the USA is considered centrist or even right-center in many countries worldwide; however, in the USA, they are considered Left-Center. Please keep this in mind if our ratings seem off in your native country. (08/08/2022)

It's a site run by one guy and 3 volunteers. Not really the greatest source.

The top three are also nations where toilet paper is not available and you have to use your hands to wipe.

Where in the world are you getting this from?

They have Toilet paper, They also have Bidets.

In Diablo 3, I always saved the NPCs in Act 2 while doing bounties, even though there was no incentive to do so. Dunno if it counts as feeling good, but could never bring myself to ignore their cries.

Ah yes, the typical two-sideism crap.

Well if Aljazeera is the problem in your eyes, do you also think Ynet which reported it in the first place and shows pictures (which is what Aljazeera based their report on had you bothered to read the article), is also biased?

After 9/11, USA went into a bloodlust, invading Afghanistan because they (Taliban) wanted proof that Osama bin Laden was involved with the terrorist attack first. bin Laden fled to Pakistan, but the USA didn’t invade them, nor threatened to. Instead, USA just kept their boots on foreign soil because, hey, free real state and cheap poppy, amirite?

Just to add to your point.

From way before 9-11

Before the Invasion

After the invasion.

They're mostly a bunch of neo-colonists that believe in western exceptionalism and won't spend any time learning about the country the west occupied for over 20 years, let alone the complicated dynamics of the country.

I mean legit half the comments are variants of "We need to civilize the savages".

Reminds me of all the crocodile tears against leaving Afghanistan in the first place "Think of the women!" they cried, well what happened when the country was dealing with a famine (which of course impacted millions of Afghani women) and the US stole half of Afghani assets at a time they desperately needed it? crickets.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

Remember when the Afghan people had a phenomenally well equipped and well trained army, and then they just gave up inside a week because things were “hard”?

You didn't read the Afghanistan Papers did you?

 

Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez.

Edit: Not sure why imgur marked the album as NSFW, but there's nothing NSFW in it other than the name of one of the mods including the word "bitch"

 

Hello All,

I'm trying to assist in migrating a few subs over to Kbin/Lemmy, I'm still confused on the difference between Kbin and Lemmy.

Regardless, have been looking into tools to migrate content from the subs, and came across this one https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter

However, the readme assumes readers have knowledge they don't have, so it's for example not clear to me if it's possible to "import" the database created by this tool to an existing lemmy instance or if I would need to create an entirely new instance just to host the content (and then what? can instances be "merged"?)

Thanks for your time in advance.
