Or pacifism?

If you want to be glib: “Okay then, unlock your phone and hand it to me. Also, tell me your home address, your daily route to and from work, and your last three girlfriends. Don’t worry; you can trust that nobody will ever abuse this access to your life and past, because you have nothing to hide.”

Even if you “have nothing to hide,” a malicious or uncaring actor can use your information to disrupt your life or cause you harm. Police agencies go after the wrong people. Crazy people stalk others. Blackmailers look for opportunities to extort victims. As Cardinal Richelieu supposedly said, “give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I’ll find enough to hang him.”

Google/Facebook/whatever private entity are not innocent. They will happily sell information about you to whoever is willing to pay. Government agencies subpoena data from them, too.

Great plan, Shaun!

Call an ambulance to tend to his broken pelvis?

Man, that author is really trying hard to mold lactose tolerance/intolerance into political agenda talking point.

Google Maps street view shows it painted yellow in 2023. The town needs to get busy and repaint it.

What’s updoc?

Not a news source. This is a one-sided, agenda-driven editorial.

Western trails: Ascend on nicely-graded switchbacks.

Eastern trails: Ascend straight up a seasonal creek bed.

Google for fediverse instance block lists and pick one of the right-wing cesspits that brag about their “free speech” and “no censorship” policies. Let’s see how much free speech they really tolerate.

Or try these Lemmy instances. They’re already trash, so no worries about ruining anything:

An audible sigh followed by “Fine” or “Sure” = Yes

But the lack of enthusiasm really kills the mood.

PPB is “Pig Pooping on Balls.” One of hexbear’s favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.

So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.

I must commend Lemmy.ml for remaining neutral and not letting its own political leanings influence join-lemmy.org

Bogus. They have intentionally removed specific instances from join-lemmy.org. You will find that lemmy.world is missing, for example.

And some of the other sins are only legal in international waters.

Saudi Arabia and Oman are both ruled by absolute monarchies that have cemented political control over their respective nations. Both countries have plenty of corruption and poverty, and the governments are shit, but at least things are stable and predictable for the populace.

Yemen has not found a stable political structure yet. Since throwing of British colonial rule in the 1960s (not the first foreign power to control the region, and surely not the last) Yemen has been in on-again off-again civil wars as various factions fight for control. Continued foreign intervention has not helped calm things down. The Yemeni people will continue to suffer as long as the fighting continues.

Oh, and Yemen’s aquifers are drying up. Yemen may become the first country in the world to literally run out of fresh water. That is not going to help anything.

The US has had a continuous and significant military presence in Kuwait since 1991. They have multiple bases in Al Jahra Governate. The whole world already knows where these bases are. You didn’t score some great gotcha against the US military.

Fuck Trump and fuck this stupid war with Iran. But even so, it’s shitty of you to fantasize about getting someone killed.

“Let’s go, boys! Big push before the finish!”

The value of a currency is not purely a function of supply. It changes based on the relative values of the things you can buy with it, including the relative values of alternate currencies. Human emotions play a large part, too. Simply coming up with a number for the inflation rate is a complicated and inexact exercise. Actively controlling inflation is even more difficult.

A little inflation is generally considered a good thing because it incentivizes people to spend their money rather than hoard it.
