Some still survive injury to the head so if you want to kill someone instantly, try to aim for the heart. Security services know this that’s why persons of interest are advised to wear bulletproof vests. I am guessing Trump is wearing one so had the shooter tried to aim for the torso, that would have been more embarrassing than near-missing Trump to the head.

The difference is that Tetesuya was able to kill the PM because he did it at point blank range.

I don’t understand why it’s so mainstream to equate Palestine with Hamas.

Because the mainstream is unironically ignorant of the true political and social state of Palestinian society. They don’t realise that Hamas is an extremist Palestinian political party, while the actual moderate Palestinian faction worthy of support is the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. Show them this Wikipedia page of the ongoing civil war among Palestinians and you’d get cricket noises from the average perpetually online mainstream.

Gaza is controlled by the Hamas, while the West Bank is controlled by PLO/Fatah. But no one in the mainstream in the Twiterrati, Facebook and other social media will know that, because they get junk food information from fake news and propaganda or their own bubble in those social platforms.

Maybe because I grew up multicultural, so I rarely find any strange names, well, strange.

On the one hand, others pointed out that it could also be an acquired trait from watching streamers censoring themselves to prevent de-monitisation. Though I admit that I’m a millennial who grew up in a very profane Internet environment and people didn’t take things too seriously, unlike today. So there could be generational differences going on.

We getting old, fam!

Also I hate this trend of censoring fucking profanity.

No offense, but it’s cos of Americans.

Lemmy has the least shills and bots

Because it’s not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.

Me who still irons clothes

Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.

This is why you could and should never be lazy to search how to cancel subscription.

I always use Mozilla Firefox

So that isn’t my concern.

I remember someone asking what are good documentaries on evolution that doesn’t say “this is why religion is BS”. I cannot recall a time having watched a documentary on evolution that blatantly says that. Religion on the other hand…

Anyone with two thinking brain cells would already put two and two together and see the contradiction. When I first learned about evolution in school, I thought to myself that it contradicts what the Bible said, and my teacher and the book never even said anything explicitly. However, I somehow rationalised that god must have created beings first and evolution took course after. It is in my later formative years, through education and more reading, which made up my mind that religion overall is nonsense and the denial of reality.

You know, as someone who doesn’t have a PlayStation, I want to support PS game developers by buying the games on Steam. But after this atrocious nonsensical debacle by Sony, I will have to leave for the high seas.

I had a boss who got married when he was 40 as well. Same as others, I’m also unmarried and in early 30s, but I don’t feel the need to keep up with the Joneses either. I still have many things to do before I feel the need to settle down. There are plenty of people who marry late and don’t regret it. It’s best to figure out first what you want before jumping the gun, simply for the sake of social conformance and then regret it. I’m sure we know of people regretting marrying early, or stick to an unhappy marriage out of insecurity or for whatever reason.

Stealing my kills bro!

Valve knows when they have it good and not be greedy. They are essentially a monopoly but choose not to abuse it.

I can’t recall the time that Americans brought the latter pitchforks against politicians for a good cause, because the January 6 insurrection does not count.

I don’t see any enshitiffication features and ads in Windows 11 that Lemmy and tech news are reporting. I wonder if it’s because I’m in the EU.

Tell that to the citizens of Tambov and Kronstadt sailors in the 1920s.

Where can I learn this power?
