Israel’s goal of Hamas’ destruction makes it unavoidable

"We did nothing to prevent the reckless deaths of twenty times the number of innocents and we're all out of ideas"

what the fuck you want

It's weird how they still class things as war crimes, despite everything being totally okay as you say.

Are you parodying Depeche Mode?

I'm Canadian and I gladly pay more taxes than you so that I and my friends get free healthcare when we need it.

Here's the thing. I worked in America for the better part of a decade and I had to submit two tax forms, one to each country. You end up paying the greater of the two and using it to offset the other.

What I know is this: every year, every year, I paid an extra 1% to America. No matter how my (binational) tax guys worked it, my obligation to America was always higher.

The year after I came home I still had to submit taxes (January layoff scares so I moved back) and it was still higher for America despite sitting in a different country (it's a factor) and using different services. It didn't matter.

In Canada I pay 1% lower income tax and enjoy healthcare access. While they've done away with the regional premiums, I was even okay paying that; as my yearly outlay, proudly at the top bracket, was still less than copays while in America. I would gladly pay the same premium to ensure equal access to dental and optical care for me and especially people who can't drop (now) c$1000 on some specs or way more on a dental crown.

It's not that I'm a good guy, but I pay taxes for schools because I don't want to live around dumb people. I do and will pay taxes so we can take people who aren't healthy and skilled and contributing income tax and make them so they are. Poverty should be no excuse for not being employable.

You call it propaganda, but it’s exactly what Hamas is doing, isn’t it?

You may need to look up 'propaganda'.

They’re targetting and killing journalists (and were already doing so before this) and their families.

Well, they ran out of MSF doctors to shoot.

criterias

Like 'email', this noun doesn't need an 's'.

Chain/Mid-range is pretend servancy to let the middle class feel like they have agency over other humans, even underpaying servers to increase supplicancy.

Having been in the industry, this is simply a strange take.

Only the vast minority of guests I've waited-on in my time have even tried to exert authority over me. A quick reminder that they dictate their meal needs but not my time has set them straight quickly. And usually it's external stresses - ie a bad day - that has them acting up. Lend an ear and make a tippy friend if you can.

It's a job. The job includes relaying orders to the real heroes in-back and grabbing what they may need but they're paying for it. Then they leave.

Don't read some class struggle into it.

It's a delaying tactic to try and slow the coming effects while we get a better idea.

Stop making mimes nervious.

ones that fully left reddit

Ones who fully left reddit, you mean. We are people, not things.

When I was on Reddit I consumed it fast and often. The bus, the car, the patio, the loo; everywhere.

Now I launch Lemmy and say to myself "oh, right. Less stuff"

I think I need to normalize not checking Lemmy like it's reddit, still. There's definitely some behaviour to unlearn.

It's fun to add context so everyone outside your clique knows what you're signaling too. And is the misspelling on purpose?

.. and why is that thing Windows, vi, or Ansible?

I feel strangely triggered

'ur'

Fuck I hate illiterate memers.

received assurance that the movie will no longer be screened with a break.

It's weird how the projector just breaks down around the same time every movie. Maybe it's overheating, as it is fine like 10 minutes later.

There's a bizarre parallel to picking a hospital in America while you're unconscious in a merc ambulance.

try to figure out if what I want to watch is covered by one of them

Justwatch.com, my dude.

Talk about delimiting both ends of your subclauses. #americanGhostComma.

scrapping tool

I think scrapping wasn't what happened here.
