  • Oh yeah some streamers definitely do not appeal to everybody, but in the same sense neither do all teams, players, sports, or genres

  • Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • Except not everybody watches only professional sports, and not everybody who watches sports does so for the love of seeing the sport played at a high level.

    That’s why I compared it to sports teams, which people watch for the individuals, narratives, amongst other things

  • What are your predictions on the Trump/Biden debate happening tomorrow?
  • Due to the government’s war on adderall. Where is my fucking prescription?

  • Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • YES I ALWAYS EXPLAIN THIS PART WHEN TALKING TO BOOMERS ABOUT IT.

    Like imagine you could be in a chat room cheering for the Eagles playing football with everybody else who was watching the game? That would be fun as hell and the trash talk/ insight is enjoyable

  • Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • Streamers are to Gen Z what sports teams were to boomers.

    Just watching somebody you don’t know play a game and cheering for them because you happen to like them

  • Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • There’s an entire piece of at home technology that used to exist and tons of people used to have that I don’t think anybody under the age of 25 has ever actually seen: The VHS rewinder.

  • What are your predictions on the Trump/Biden debate happening tomorrow?
  • My actual bold prediction is that the debate isn’t going to happen because somebody (or both) backs out last minute

  • You might be fine to smoke with but I can’t forgive you for being br***sh

  • UN Relief and Works Agency estimates 65000 people remain in Rafah, in stark contrast to 6 weeks ago, when Rafah had 1.4 million displaced people before Israel forced evacuation/military operations.

    Link to the UNRWA Briefing

    I am not trying to assert that Israel killed every single one of these people, but these kinds of forced mass migration/exodus events have historically been one of the main methods employed by genocidal entities in order to slaughter populations en masse. This is so fucking grim.

    Reminder: it’s antisemitic to ask what happened to the other 1.33 million Palestinians that were in Rafah.

    Greece set to officially introduce the 6 day work week starting July 1

    Link to the article here

    >“We were elected to implement an aggressive reform program. And that is what we are doing now. We now have three years without further elections ahead of us, our performance will be assessed in 2027.”

    >It almost sounds like a threat from the conservative Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. His centre-right party Nea Dimokratia With 28.3 percent of the vote, it easily took first place in the European elections, almost twice as many as the left-wing opposition party Syriza (14.9 percent). However, it remained far below the 33 percent target set by Mitsotakis.

    >The reason given was the currently largest It rises of the Greeks: the high Cost of living,According to the Bank of Greece, 27 percent of the Greek population spends more than 40 percent of their income on housing costs.

    >Mitsotakis wants to counteract this – and focuses on employer-friendly measureswhich, however, causes the unions and left-wing politicians to cry out.

    >Employees must be informed 24 hours in advance

    >From 1 July Employers may invite their employees to Six-day week This will make Greece the first country in the EU to introduce a 41-hour working week. Previously, this was only possible in the tourism and food industries, but now the arrangement of a sixth working day is permitted for all private and publicly controlled industries (but not civil servants). The employee must have at least 24 hours before For the sixth working day, a Surcharge von 40 percent of the daily wage; 115 percent if the day falls on a public holiday.

    >Overtime is not possible. The day must be entered into a system that is to be controlled by the state.

    >This is intended to ensure that “industrial companies with rotating shift work and highly specialised staff do not have to interrupt their processes,” quotes the HE DOES the Greek Ministry of Labour. Furthermore, every employee also has the right to eleven consecutive hours off work per day or night and to 24 hours every seven days.

    >Up to two jobs

    >But critics stress that workers are already under a lot of pressure: wages are too low, and many Greeks are forced to work two jobs to cover the cost of living – about eight hours a day in one job and up to five hours a day in the other.

    >Also that the Right of termination to be relaxed, will tighten working conditions: employers are to be first year can dismiss the employee at any time. Mitsotakis wants to encourage companies to hire more people: The Unemployment rate in Greece is twice as high as the Eurozone average (2023: 10.9 percent). Social security contributions employers should be reduced. A reduction in the VATwhich is often seen by left-wing economists as an effective measure to combat inflation, the Prime Minister vehemently rules out.

    >Protest by trade unions in September of last year when the law passed parliament.

    >Many working hours, but little productivity:

    >Economists have long complained about the low labour productivity in Greece – one of the lowest in the EU, while Greek workers already have the longest working hours in Europe compared to the EU. The German Federal Statistical Office According to 2022, an average of 41 hours per week, the European average was 37 hours per week. In Austria The average working hours per week were 35.7. The lowest value was reported for the Netherlands at 31.3 hours per week – due to the high proportion of employed people in part-time employment (43.4 percent).

    >We need to focus on increasing productivity and automating processes, otherwise the competitiveness of the country is not sustainable. This could also be achieved with a Reduction of working hours cites the HE DOES the head of the German-Greek Chamber of Industry and CommerceAthanassios Kelemis.

    Louisiana passes into law that the Ten Commandments must be posted in all school classrooms

    Link to the article

    >BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom under a bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on Wednesday.

    >The GOP-drafted legislation mandates that a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” be required in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Although the bill did not receive final approval from Landry, the time for gubernatorial action — to sign or veto the bill — has lapsed.

    >Opponents question the law’s constitutionality, warning that lawsuits are likely to follow. Proponents say the purpose of the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the law’s language, the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.”

    >The displays, which will be paired with a four-paragraph “context statement” describing how the Ten Commandments “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries,” must be in place in classrooms by the start of 2025.

    >The posters would be paid for through donations. State funds will not be used to implement the mandate, based on language in the legislation.

    >The law also “authorizes” — but does not require — the display of the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence and the Northwest Ordinance in K-12 public schools.

    >Similar bills requiring the Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms have been proposed in other states including Texas, Oklahoma and Utah. However, with threats of legal battles over the constitutionality of such measures, no state besides Louisiana has had success in making the bills law.

    >Legal battles over the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms are not new.

    >In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a similar Kentucky law was unconstitutional and violated the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution, which says Congress can “make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” The high court found that the law had no secular purpose but rather served a plainly religious purpose.

    >Louisiana’s controversial law, in a state ensconced in the Bible Belt, comes during a new era of conservative leadership in the state under Landry, who replaced two-term Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards in January.

    >The GOP also has a two-thirds supermajority in the Legislature, and Republicans hold every statewide elected position, paving the way for lawmakers to push through a conservative agenda during the legislative session that concluded earlier this month.

    The Argentinian Peso sucks so badly that it has made Huawei the world’s single largest beef importer. Huawei is immediately spending all pesos in its Argentinian accounts on beef to sell in China.

    Tracking Milei’s Wins:

    Huawei does a lot of business in Argentina. As a result of the recent Argentinian currency instability crisis, it has become impossible for Argentina to pay China in RMB or USD, and Huawei really doesn’t want to be stuck holding the hot potato (Argentinian Pesos) in its accounts.

    Imagine you have two cows:

    Huawei has immediately been taking any payment it receives in pesos, and immediately flipping it by purchasing Argentinian beef, which it then ships to sell back in China. China is the largest importer of beef in the world, and Huawei is now China’s largest importer of beef, which makes it quite possible that Huawei is currently the world’s largest beef importer.

    The Times of Israel has deleted an article containing the now released hostages’ many positive accounts of their captivity, claiming that they were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome when interviewed

    Highlights include: having been well fed while Hamas fighters skipped meals and could not eat, seeing/hearing the struggle of the Palestinian people and their families and feeling deep sympathy, and being baked a birthday cake on their birthday which is now being reported as a “cynical gesture.” As we all know, it is very easy to acquire the ingredients to bake a cake in Gaza right now and there is plenty of time to spend baking it just so you can dunk on somebody. Israel’s barbarity knows no end. It will simply not allow Palestinians to be portrayed as human beings who have emotions, human connection, and empathy for even a moment.

    The article has since be republished here with an entirely new narrative and pieces of testimony removed
