No one's getting banned here lol. Also deaddit happened because of admin, lemmy still has every opportunity to pack up shop and create new communities (with blackjack and hookers).

Yeah pretty much.

I mean I'd just draw back to three things:

• Ben Gvir was closely involved in the Israeli far right group that assassinated the Israeli Prime Minister in the 90s.
• Netanyahu previously said that people should give Hamas money, as this would be the best way for Israel to take control of Gaza and the West Bank (and apparently now their eyes are on Lebanon next).
• For some reason Netanyahu left a skeleton crew on the border, sacrificing guards in the towers, relying on an early warning system with an obvious single point of failure (sole reliance on the cellphone network), on the 50th anniversary of the last Yom Kippur war. Anyone with half a brain would realise that such a calendar date is a time for heightened security, not relaxed. And this is the man who campaigned for office on his ability to provide security for Israel.

The Nazis didn't have prisoner release on the negotiating table. I'm not saying Hamas' terms were right, but the IDF hardly exhausted all options, or even most options, before they went "oh boy here I go killing again".

Also, the IDF previously killed hostages that were topless waiving white, such is their bloodlust.

They did, and then the lemm.ee dev came to their rescue to tell them how they should have set things up (like he did) :D

And these days it's trivially easy to move accounts between instances.

I dunno, allegedly people actually vote for a man named "Trump".

Those same people are also the lead developers of lemmy.

We can also safely assume they had a very happy life until hammas decided to kidnap them on OCT 7.

Absolutely. However they were kept alive until recently. What happened recently? Israel stepped up its assault. This is a strong correlation.

Does the IDF expect Hamas to just hand over hostages when they come in? If Israel were sincere about their desire to rescue hostages they would be acting differently.

Aside from him lying to you and breaking your boundaries, he's quite clearly on a phase where he's trying harder and harder things. Trying weed and mushrooms in Amsterdam is one thing, but more than likely he was doing those before and went there on a drug holiday. Taking LSD the way he is probably isn't healthy either, but escalating to meth is another thing entirely.

He's not going to get better on his current track, no matter what you do. You need to cut him lose before he cheats on you with a meth head (if he isn't already, we've already established he's a liar).

It's an old video, but it checks out

Edit: Wait, that doesn't check out, it's not the proper channel!!

Hexbear is fine until you openly disagree with them. When you do that you get banned for vexatious reasons.

Hexbear is also an oxymoron in itself, supporting Putin's Russia while also claiming to support LGBTQ+ rights. Frankly, it's a bit of a honeypot.

lemm.ee is lovely, meanwhile :D Federated with almost everyone, no bullshit, and an admin developer who knows his stuff and supported other instance admins when the shit hit their fans (meanwhile his instance was already immune).

Also, Estonia gained its liberation from the Soviet Union literally by singing.

Starliner isn't going anywhere, the flaws so far have been identified and mostly addressed. The only outstanding one is the doghouse arrangement of control thrusters, which has apparently led to overheating. This likely isn't anything anyone could have predicted.

The failures so far:

1. Flammable tape being used around wiring. This annoys me, and Boeing as an airline manufacturer should really have known better. However, it is notable that this was discovered by Boeing engineers - it's not like they tried to cover it up.
2. Parachute lines not being rated for the worst case scenario. They were rated for 3 chutes, but NASA required capability to land safely with 2 out of 3 chutes. Boeing found this also before crewed flight certification.
3. Helium leaks. That's what it does, helium is a sneaky bastard and leaks are common.
4. Aft control thrusters receiving heating beyond what was expected causing teflon poppet valves to expand and the thrusters to shut down.

Boeing as a brand is heavily tarnished, primarily from the MCAS and door plug issues, however it's also not going anywhere. The company is too heavily entwined with the US military.

Meanwhile the old guard have mostly left the company and dropped the bag, leaving the remaining investors to feel the brunt of everything while they run off with the short term profits. They've won, and all the bitterness people are displaying isn't affecting them.

I'm all for hating on the bullshit from Boeing - and have a particular bug in my bonnet against the former McDonnell Douglas C-suite levels who have dragged the company through the mud, performing the same antics they did at MDD - but the fact is the issues with Starliner have been massively overblown by people looking to jump on a hype bandwagon.

That isn't to say the craft is without issues, nor that some of the issues (1 & 2) shouldn't have happened, but just that people aren't being rational, and the anti-PR noise is annoying and counterproductive.

Hehe her dog is a donut hole with a PhD.
