What the actual fuck. How do you square this?

This was my take after an initial thought "...nsfw?" 😅
"Technology" in this instance is "little nozzle pointed at bum" 🙃
For me, the gameification of Duolingo pushed me away. The fact that if I fail 3 times I had to wait to generate more "chances" is absurd when it comes to learning a new language; especially if that new language is a whole new character set, like Mandarin or any Cyrillic language.
Defenestration when?
❤️ thank you as well! Have a great day / night!
Fair point! In that case, how about "uncaringly" bombing? No matter how you swing it, they are taking a hammer to a population.
"Go south", bomb. "Go north", bomb.
And just to also address that, 0.6% has died because of this. Another fair stat, but hides the actual number of 15k+. This all kicked off due to a horrific attack that killed 1.5k.
Whether or not it reaches the legal definition of a genocide is effectively moot when the civilian population is getting decimated in a short amount of time. Placing the people killed behind a percentage, for me, turns a bunch of suffering into "oh it's not that bad " because you are excluding the injured, the family of those individuals who have died, and a whole swath of destruction that a larger group is never coming back from.
I'm not trying to change your mind, because this is the internet lol I'm just pointing that there is more to the anger and frustration outside of the general statistics, which are equally a valid way to look at the whole thing.
"Least bad group" in this case indiscriminatingly bombing a civilian population seems quite the bar position to get that tag.
Opinion: I don't think the "leftists" are saying that Hamas isn't terrible. The issue is that Israel is either going to create a whole new generation ready to create a new terror group and start the cycle over, or they are going to effectively destroy that generation. Both of which don't really mesh with an idea that it's totally a defensive push.
And hopefully it didn't need pointing out, but there is a weird disconnect with antisemitism vs anti-Israel: the former tends to be far-right individuals not wanting Jewish humans in their country while the latter tends to focus more on anti-Zionist groups within the county of Israel. Far-right groups tend to be much more pro-Israel due to it meaning either end of the world types or just happy they're "no longer in much country."
I don't normally upvote news stories, but did this one because of your comment ❤️
Goddamn...just. This is horrific. This whole situation, and the article is 1 month old.
To think of the things that have happened since
“Mint has always been a money loser,” Mr. Agostino, a former product manager at Mint, said in an interview. “Given the revenue Credit Karma was generating, it makes sense to go that path.”
Translation: "Eh, all it does is help people without bringing us significant revenue. Let's try to push the users over to a more spammy based app!"
I remember when both came out, and used them extensively. Finally dropped CK, then Mint, as they both started including more and more loan ads. We certainly had a good run of actually useful free stuff, but that's finally catching up.
So...they just lost the international court case then, no? He legit just said "we're taking it over."
'Course, this is me just being hopeful there is some recourse for the blatant disregard for humans 🫤
