Israel accused of breaking global labor law by withholding Palestinian worker pay
  • Exactly... Their right wing politics is like Christian fundamentalism in the US. But it is also a culture of religious propaganda to see others as less than human as well. Anyways... MSM will call anyone an antisemite that says it outloud.

  • Moody's poised to lower Israel's credit rating again amid escalating security situation
  • It was a joke... Israel recently said they were escalating to de-escalate

  • Israel accused of breaking global labor law by withholding Palestinian worker pay
  • Can you say why they won't do the right thing though, that is the real question. We know they won't but no one will say why.

  • Moody's poised to lower Israel's credit rating again amid escalating security situation
  • When Moody's is doing more to prevent de-escalation than the current Democratic President šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

  • Russia: Under a proposed new legislation, comments defending the decision not to have children could be fined by up to ā‚¬50,000
  • Great... How many weeks do you think it'll take Republican creeps to parrot the same proposal?

  • Trump Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Allegations of Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl
  • Snopes provides some good information about why the claim is suspicious, but there are also stories by Vox & MSM that go into more detail. Having proof Trump is a pedo obviously helps Democrats, but spreading misinformation because you want to believe it doesn't. Based on everything I've read I think it is a fake claim, but then again I still think Trump is terrible & would never vote for him.

  • Trump Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Allegations of Raping a 13-Year-Old Girl
  • It is good to question things but looking into this allegation previously it did appear to be false:

  • Trump Says People Who Criticize Supreme Court Justices Should Be Jailed
  • The scary part is that he has enough extremist followers in law enforcement & sitting judges that it is possible they'd claim an interpretation of the law in someway where it actually happens.

  • Read the Charges Against Ryan Routh, Suspect in Trump Shooting Attempt
  • It is really hard to take federal law seriously though when the very next section 18 U.S. Code Ā§ 922 states:

    (h)It shall be unlawful for any individual, who to that individualā€™s knowledge and while being employed for any person described in any paragraph of subsection (g) of this section, in the course of such employmentā€” (1)to receive, possess, or transport any firearm or ammunition in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce; or (2)to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

  • Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants
  • Even better, there is a video of it. He definitely said it.

  • iPhone 16 is here, but Iā€™m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18
  • Seriously? Matrix and signal already exists... So you can use them today instead of RCS to your heart's desire.

  • Israel lobbying US Congress to press South Africa to drop ICJ genocide case: Report
  • No... US clearly belongs to Israel, not the other way around. This is what happens when politicians are bought and Americans have been conditioned that you can never say no to Israel or you're an antisemite.

  • The UN chief calls the death and destruction in Gaza the worst he's seen
  • Hmm.. if only someone could stop sending Israel more money until they stop the genocide.

  • Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • Why get so offended? Just because he rambles like someone with ADHD doesn't mean that Biden didn't sound like someone with Alzheimer's. People will think ADHD people are better off cognitively than those with Alzheimer's.

  • Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • Omg Democrats are complaining about their own candidates position? We must worship her as she can only do good and never do anything wrong.

  • Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • No this is Republicans demanding something they never actually wanted and Democrats actually doing the right thing for once. Trump misses Biden so much already. Even if Trump is too old I'd rather Republicans think he isn't than to try to convince them to change him out for a better candidate.

  • Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • They were as braindead as Biden. They didn't want to think.

  • Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • The same ones who prevented Trump from winning were operating in bad faith? Seriously.. it was the Democrats complaining saying he should step down. Why on earth would Democrats want Republicans to pick a new candidate now? Do you thinking helping Republicans somehow helps your side?

  • My partner is a nail tech and gave me The Amulet of Yendor on my nails!
  • Glad it makes you happy, but thank God your partner isn't a tattoo artist.

  • Biden set to sign an order to prioritize federal grants for projects with higher worker wages and benefits
  • So they need to just have plans or they have to be wealthy already to get grants?

  • CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem

    This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why ā€“ people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information.

    Robust disaster recovery plans, including automated processes to remotely reboot and remediate thousands of machines, aren't revolutionary. They're basic hygiene, especially when considering the potential consequences of a breach. Yet, this incident highlights a systemic failure across many organizations. While CrowdStrike erred, the real culprit is a culture of shortcuts and misplaced priorities within corporate IT.

    Too often, companies throw millions at vendor contracts, lured by flashy promises and neglecting the due diligence necessary to ensure those solutions truly fit their needs. This is exacerbated by a corporate culture where CEOs, vice presidents, and managers are often more easily swayed by vendor kickbacks, gifts, and lavish trips than by investing in innovative ideas with measurable outcomes.

    This misguided approach not only results in bloated IT budgets but also leaves companies vulnerable to precisely the kind of disruptions caused by the CrowdStrike incident. When decision-makers prioritize personal gain over the long-term health and security of their IT infrastructure, it's ultimately the customers and their data that suffer.

    Anyone else have their account terminated or got through to support?

    About a month ago I got a notification that my subscription had been refunded and then another email that my account was terminated:

    > You are receiving this email because we have identified suspicious activity on your account. In order to protect our platform, we have refunded and canceled your subscription. You will no longer have access to ChatGPT Plus service.

    This was after using the service for two months. I emailed and sent them a message almost immediately since I could prove my identity, but they haven't responded back in almost a month. Their customer support appears to be non-existent.

    I keep wanting to sign back up, but I'm still pissed about it. I'm guessing it is because I used a virtual card when I signed up and they don't stay active for very long so I have to create a new one for each month of service. Usually I just get a failed payment notification and update my payment info with a new one which pulls from my bank account.

    It sucks not being able to use the service though because it was so helpful at helping with programming tasks and Bard isn't nearly as good. Has anyone had any luck getting through to support?
