I’m guessing it impacted some people for there to be a Hacker News (a fairly respectable news outlet) article about it. I was just listening earlier today and didn’t have any ads. Same with my wife on her account (family plan).

Edit: wow, I’m a dumbass. Nevermind.

But yeah, I still haven’t had any ads after listening all evening while cooking dinner and what kt.

That’s not really a good example. He was fully masked and all the people involved were black (the bank teller who called the cops, the cops that showed up, etc.). He was also “sketchy” (from the bank teller’s perspective) with writing an awkward note to withdraw a large sum of money and that he wanted it done discreetly. It was still a fuck up on Bank of America’s part, but in this instance I give the bank teller some amount of understanding when the entire context is taken into considering. Ryan Coogler even said he was satisfied with how BoA apologized and whatnot.

All that being said, if it was a poor person in this situation… I highly doubt the outcome would’ve been so cordial

A part of me thinks the rise of extreme nationalism is fueled by climate change. We’re already seeing issues with access to clean drinking water around the world. Hell, in 2025, Mexico wasn’t able to honor their end of the water trade treaty with the US for the first time since the treaty was created in the 1940s, which helped the nazis in charge here justify refusing to send water to Mexico. https://www.ecoticias.com/en/usa-denies-mexico-water-1944-treaty/12590/

It’s only going to get worse. Resources are drying up, and when countries face issues supplying clean water and food, they tend to gravitate towards barbarism and tribalism. In my opinion, this is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately.

Genuine question, do they really want to be independent right now? I feel like Denmark is a primary obstacle to the US coming in and doing even more dumb shit.

Like Israel gives a fuck. They butchered countless innocent Palestinians inside schools, hospitals, etc. The US will pretend to give a shit, but the monsters in charge don’t care if innocent brown people are being killed

Poorer people get access to less diverse foods and more likely to have much more stressful lives than affluent people. Shocker.

Even if they do, don’t be a dumbass and have your phone on you and be completely covered and approach the device via analogue method (e.g. walking, bicycle without a serial, etc).

I was going to say, I thought open source 3D Printer designs/kits have been a thing for awhile. My friend just built his own last year using his original 3D printer to help in the process, lol

They’ll do anything but adopt firearm laws that are relevant and sensible.

Highly doubtful. Just read first-hand accounts from the many people that have escaped the country. It is a pretty bleak place to exist. If they literally make it illegal for their citizens to have real Internet, chances are your oppressor is doing some pretty awful things. It’s why the current American fascist regime has “humored” restricting Internet access. Same reason Iran cut off Internet access during their recent unrest where the government killed thousands of civilian protestors.

You’re a dumbass. North Korea"s treatment of human life is well documented Internationally.

Yes, because it’s totally normal for apartments to cost over $1 million/1.5b won.

This is known. The charismatic appeal of Trump to his supporters is absolutely baffling to those of us that have any semblance of common sense. I say this as a barely non-retarded person.

I wouldn’t be surprised if google/YouTube just bans all VPN IPs. They already make you sign in lately if your IP range has been “shadow banned.”

Are you sure she’s not diabetic? My sister is Type 1, so she’s had diabetes her whole life. Whenever her blood sugar was out of whack, she’d become drunk-like and also have seizures in really bad instances.

So it makes it okay for a foreign country to invade them without just cause?

Uh, what? Look at the context of this post, jackass. The meme is trying to portray Russia as a misunderstood good guy while everyone else is evil. I agree with most of the evil flags being there rightfully, but Ukraine is literally defending itself from unjustified invasion. Jfc, it’s crazy this has to be explained. Just look at the entire history of Russia’s aggression and bullying of Ukraine and try to tell me with a straight face that they’re unjustified in defending themselves from a foreign aggressor.

Ukraine–the county literally being invaded by Russia–is an imperialist, war mongering tyrant? Get the fuck out of here with this slop. Could’ve just left it with the main flags, but throwing Ukraine’s flag in there is legit braindead Chinese/Russian trolling.

Is the meme supposed to be a pun/joke about British and their love of tea?
