That was a grim read. My favorite part:

Reportedly died by suicide after shooting himself in the chest five times.

_Arend also defended their portrayal of Russia as a country with a free press, prompting challenges from viewers to critique Russian leadership and ongoing conflicts. _

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word “doublethink” involved the use of doublethink.

Funny coincidence : our prime minister worked 33 years for Irving.

Funny. As Canadians, we say we’re Americans when we do stupid shit abroad.

Thank you for taking that bullet for us!

Not trying to excuse his actions but read the _Early life and reports of abuse _section.

This guy is a product of a mentally ill mother who abused him. Imagine being 4 years old and your caregiver keeps telling you she wished you were dead. Not a recipe for a well balanced individual.

My point is yes, his place is in prison. But if you want to prevent other acts of this kind, social and mental services need to get better. They clearly failed in this case, more than once.

For me, Linux recreates the exhilaration of 1990s MsDOS: will this setting, that I really don’t understand, make my game work or just render my whole system unusable?

I really want to play this awesome new game called Syndicate…

What’s the worst that can happen? Reformat for a 4th time this week?

y/n?

Thanks for the video , it was an eye opener, to say the least.

When I drop off my electronics at “recycling” facilities, I always wonder if they don’t just end up at a place like this. It’s hard to tell if sending them to a local landfill wouldn’t be less impactful on the environment.

Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

I though I was the only one petty enough to do that… Now I now there must be dozens of us!

How I envy you to be able to watch Archer for the first time.

I must have watched the whole thing a dozen times.

Me : shakes 6 mils in front of Lemmy

Lemmy:

Something about stones and glass houses might apply here… Or is it kettles and pots?

Thanks for the links. Interesting reads.

Tldr, oxfam:

Around 50% of these emissions meanwhile can be attributed to the richest 10% of people around the world, who have average carbon footprints 11 times as high as the poorest half of the population.

Hard to swallow pill: The way of life of the rich countries, including the one of their poor citizens, is the problem. We, the westerners, are the problem, not the billions of China and India.

But yay electric cars and recycling… Insert “I’m doing my part” meme.

After listening to the 4h one on the Aztecs, I can now say with confidence that Cortés was a special kind of bastard whose grave deserves to be pissed on by all.
