Stupid fear mongering like this is why your politics is stuck in the last century.
But whatever floats your boat.

The Tour was run in stages, and while the contestants slept, Håkansson would pedal up to three days without sleeping.
After 6 days, 14 hours and 20 minutes, he arrived in Ystad - 24 hours before the contestants.
Absolute mad lad
Or am I now allowed to bash on all the christian performers out there too?
Who the fuck is stopping you dumbass? Go right ahead.
No one asked you to care or asked your opinion.
If you don't know the history behind Scientology and what happened to Chester, and why it matters. Sit the fuck down and stop acting like a fucking moron.
If only either of the government cared about the people.
A megalomaniac using his population as cannon fodder Vs a military industrial complex that could care less if people die for its interest.
seems like they were building an escape tunnel and they got caught.
That's a lot of black to make sure the clothes glue to your skin in the sun.
On Lemmy, it's a sin to make money off your work, especially if it is opensource core projects providing paid infrastructure/support. You can only ask for donations and/or quit. No in-between.
Typical US smokescreen where they make it seem like they're doing their job. but not really.
"Hey, look we tried, but our hands are tied!"
They have no problems invading countries for no reasons but regulating monopolies or banks or the rich. yeah, this is how it goes most often.
Google and other monopolies didn't get to this level of power overnight.
"But but but but… "
Piracy from the big guy who's exploiting little guys to make and sell products is fair.
Pirating things off the little guy, who's barely making a living is how the little guys stop making content on their own, and will instead opt to work for the big guy who can guarantee a livelihood, no matter how small. If you think you as a society isn't contributing to it then just look around.
And It is only getting worse. While you can fantasize about it, indie-anything who get lucky are exceedingly rare for a reason. But you won't stop removed about how everything from the Big Bad has gone to shit. It couldn't totally be because everyone thinks they're entitled to others hard work, because they paid for "the internet".
But as always, entitled pricks are how we end up on ever more convulsive state of the world, no matter which side you're on. So carry on, ig.
Give em hell. 🇺🇦

Eric Garner Murdered by NYPD (2014)

On this day in 2014, Eric Garner was murdered by the NYPD, choked to death after police suspected him of selling loose cigarettes. Garner said "I can't breathe" 11 times before dying. The man who filmed his death was poisoned in prison.
Eric Garner (1970 - 2014) was a former horticulturist at the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, father of six, and grandfather of three. On July 17th, 2014, was approached by Justin D'Amico, a plainclothes officer, in front of a beauty supply store in Tompkinsville, Staten Island. D'Amico suspected Garner of selling loose cigarettes.
Garner stated "Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today...I'm minding my business, officer, I'm minding my business. Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time, please just leave me alone."
After refusing to be handcuffed, 29-year old officer Daniel Pantaleo put Garner in an ultimately fatal chokehold. Despite Garner stating "I can't breathe" eleven times before losing consciousness, the several officers on scene did not come to his aid.
Ramsey Orta, a member of Copwatch, filmed the incident. Following a campaign of police harassment after the video went viral, he was arrested on weapons charges.
Before being imprisoned in Rikers, Orta claims a cop told him he'd be better off killing himself before being jailed. While in prison, Orta was poisoned by prison staff and at one point only ate food that his wife brought him. In May 2020, Orta was released from Groveland Correctional Facility.
Garner's death was protested internationally and became one of many police killings protested within the Black Lives Matter movement. Some perpetrators of violence against police have cited Garner's murder as a motive.
A grand jury elected to not indict Pantaleo on December 3rd, 2014. After the decision, Garner's widow was asked whether she accepted Pantaleo's condolences. She replied: "Hell, no! The time for remorse would have been when my husband was yelling to breathe...No, I don't accept his apology. No, I could care less about his condolences...He's still working. He's still getting a paycheck. He's still feeding his kids, when my husband is six feet under and I'm looking for a way to feed my kids now."
An NYPD disciplinary hearing regarding Pantaleo's treatment of Garner was held in the summer of 2019, and Pantaleo was fired on August 19th, more than five years after the murder took place.

Same applies for Palestinians, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. You'd be totally fine with that.
