    Israel is the only country in the world that isn't allowed to bomb its enemies.

    If any other country does it, it's to protect themselves. When Israel does it, it's "genocide".

    There were people wearing clothes declaring support of Hezbollah, which at worst is literal support of terrorists and at best, dimwitted.

    It's okay though, you can be as racist as you like towards Jews and it doesn't matter. It's the only form of racism that's acceptable.

  • Why do some people defend the billionaires and capitalism?

    Yes, why do you not?

    This is a country where COVID originated and with a population of 1.4 billion, yet apparently only 5,272 people have died. They're not great at telling the truth and are masters at propaganda.

    This is an absurd statement that could only be made by someone unfamiliar with Marxism. The presence of markets do not mean that the system isn't Socialist.

    The profits from companies are retained by the companies. Isn't the idea of socialism that the workers own the means of production and no companies profit? The Chinese economy is set up the exact opposite.

    Lol. Firstly, China claims they've eradicated absolute poverty. Do you really believe that?

    Secondly, China has opened its markets to the world and allowed a ton of private ownership and private companies to take on the global markets.

    The only thing that isn't capitalist about China is the word "Communist" in the ruling party.

    The simple fact is that capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty historically than anything else.

    Is capitalism a perfect system? Of course it isn't. But it's the best one we've got.

  • I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues. One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history. So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

    I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain. I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward. I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

    I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive. I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look? So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

    I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort. So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

    Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph. I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

    Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

    Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

    I was browsing the PS Store and spotted three of these complete rip-off games, all from the same company. And they're not even subtle rip-offs either. Take Rocket Car as an example. Looks remarkably similar to something else, doesn't it? Then there's Construction Machine Simulator. Again, remind you of anything else? Okay, there's a few of these type of games, but this one doesn't even try and disguise that it's ripping off the main game in this genre: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP6326-CUSA43614_00-0303332389496733 And finally, there's Wash Simulator. Yet another not even subtle rip off of another popular game: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10008957 These are the only ones I've spotted from a quick browse through the Store, I assume there is more. But how on Earth do companies get away with stuff like this? I can understand it on mobile app stores, but are there no checks before these games are put on the PS Store?

    Noticed this earlier on the Play Store and thought I was going mad. 😂 It's a nice change though!

    Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I'm not overly knowledgeable about them. The Bose Soundlink Flex seems to have good reviews from the bit of research that I've done, but any recommendations from you guys on good ones to buy?

    Someone sent me a DM to test it out but pressing it on doesn't do anything, so there's no way to respond. I had to log in to the website to reply. I haven't checked GitHub, so I don't know if this is known or not.

    When scrolling the feed or opening a post, the app has suddenly started freezing and there's no option other than to close it completely. But it will very quickly lock up again. This is on Android using a Pixel 4a.

    At the moment, there doesn't seem to be a way of knowing whether you have any messages or replies in your inbox without manually checking it yourself.
