This news sparks joy. It’s a shame the FBI is wasting their time on petty political bullshit like this instead of going after real crime. What a shameful chapter for the FBI, and that’s really saying something given their illustrious history.

Sorok Sorokov, a powerful Orthodox nationalist group, said many Russians had not understood that times had changed and that the state should tighten its control over such performances to stem what it called a general decline in moral values.

“In recent years, comedians have often crossed red lines and made jokes about topics that are taboo in any normal society,” said Georgy Soldatov, director of the group’s human rights centre.

“Human rights center”

Alex needs more people working with their hands. You know, stuff like tilling land, then planting Coca seeds. Follow that up with nurturing said plants until they can be harvested and then he’d like you to use your hands to help process those leaves into sweet sweet Colombian bam bam. From there he’d ask you to use your legs to help transport that magical white nectar to wherever it is that he is currently located so he can deposit it directly up his nose. This is an essential process to delivering value to shareholders interested in trading in subjugation and death.

I use voyager and some of my alts are Piefed accounts. It works fine, I haven’t really run into any issues with it.

You create a new account on a Piefed instance. There’s a lot to choose from like Piefed.social, piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, etc

Theres a lot of animosity right now between some Piefed and Lemmy users for some reason. I use both, I dunno why people are picking this fight right now, it seems pretty fucking dumb to me.

Soroush feels that the lives of Iranians have turned into a game for the country’s leaders and for Western powers. He points to the betting website Polymarket, where many have bet thousands of dollars on a US strike on the night of 31 January.

“Our lives and our deaths have become entertainment,” he said. “A game for others.”

It takes a special kind of soulless degenerate to bet on war and death like this. Western society is rotten to the core.

Saba, 41, spoke of her fear for the future of her eight-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. She also described her frustration with the government’s repression, the self-interest of opposition figures abroad, and the US warmongering.

“What a miserable people we are,” she said. “Our rulers massacre people in the streets. Reza Pahlavi has become the face of our opposition abroad. And our enemy is a fool like Donald Trump.”

Amen, Saba. I couldn’t agree with you more. What a sad state that or so called leaders keep us divided when we so clearly share more in common with each other than we do our own leaders.

One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

I politely tell the service reps when they try to upsell me that I only give Comcast money because I have no other choice and I would rather tear off my fingernails than give them more money. Seems to get them to quit their pitch for cell service or whatever bullshit of the day they’re hawking.

Is his eye lazy even in his own book? I guess credit to him for owning it, likely the only credit I’ll ever give him

Shit, I live in NJ and I’d like to join Canada, minus the whole monarch head of state part. I’m willing to overlook that for obvious reasons. I like hockey guys, let me in! I suspect that I should probably keep the fact that I’m a flyers fan on the down low.

Buttery Males

Definitely possible and even likely for at least some of them, but I would bet money a good deal of it is just hubris. A ton of these people give off the vibe that they earnestly believe they can do no wrong and know better than the “so called experts” because they’re so great and brilliant and strong. Anyone that tries to pierce that bubble is just a “jealous loser”.

Just textbook narcissism, shocking stuff.

Honestly embarassing levels of arrogance in that oversight

Fishing expedition an expression for cases where a police officer or agency goes after someone, generally someone they don’t like, usually for personal or political reasons, by searching for crimes the person has committed in absence of any actual suspicion of a crime being committed. Basically digging up dirt on someone as retaliation for whatever they don’t like a person for.

The current DOJ is doing a lot of it. They make up bogus justifications for what are clearly illegal search and seizures so they can make their political enemies’ lives more difficult. None of the charges will stick, but they’ll still ransack your house, confiscate your computers, shit like that. I don’t want to make their lives easier in the event they want to dig up dirt on me; at least they’ll need a search warrant to come in and steal my DVR drive out of my home rather than hitting up a tech company that doesn’t care about me beyond my being a revenue stream to get my data.

It’s not just a random person, you’re opening yourself up to the government subpoenaing wyze and collecting information about you without your knowledge or consent. In a normal world with a responsible government that wouldn’t be a huge deal provided you’re not doing anything seriously wrong, but that ship has sailed as of late. Don’t let them incriminate you with a fishing expedition for convenience

My bad, I mixed up wyze with nest, which google owns. Amazon owns blink and ring. I do know wyze was founded by former Amazon employees, which is definitely not the same as their being controlled or supported by Amazon. That said, you may want to read up on some of their security breaches, which have happened multiple times.

The cameras I inherited from the previous owner. They’re fairly low quality analog cameras but they get the job done. They had a Night Owl Brand system but I replaced it with a reolink dvr I have on a vlan so it’s separate from the rest of my network. When I have more time I’ll probably switch over to frigate though. That’ll likely come with me buying some higher quality cameras that are digital.

You can have both. I have a 360 camera set up around my house that records to a local dvr. I can remote into it when I’m not home and I’m not supporting ghoulish companies like google or Amazon.

You still haven’t articulated how he’s the one being bullied and not USA house, but ok.
