Man I’m glad to hear that, cause the US isn’t exactly a dependable ally right now 😅 (sorry, I wish we were 🥲)

Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don’t even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.

I’ll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.

Man, I hope so. There are so many cool historical events that need movie adaptations

Man, Ukraine has really been on some action movie shit lately, ya love to see it.

I’m not really convinced many IDF soldiers are facing significant risk of losing their life, at least in combat- my impression has been that they and Hamas aren’t exactly evenly matched in terms of resources 😅

I could absolutely be wrong, I’m not terribly well informed on the conflict and what combat casualties each side has suffered

Massive respect to iraeli soldiers willing to defy their country. For many (certainly not all) criticising the war and senseless loss of life is an easy thing to just throw out on social media. It’s another thing entirely when it’s your whole country around you, and you’re a member of the military. There’s a reason we see people comit atrocities while “just following orders”- it’s by far the easier path when you’re handed down horrific orders.

I cannot imagine the consequences they might face for this kind of insubordination but it deserves recognition. The killing serves no meaningful purpose.

At some point I will but I’m not currently ready to make that transition. My friend and I are using Duolingo together and the social aspect plus the familiarity of the structure have been really helpful

They walked back the ai thing (at least that’s my understanding about it, I think there was a statement about it, not that that means much) but it’s very clear it wont be something that’s likely to work for me long term

But for the time being the structure that it provides and its format has helped me build a routine and actually stay pretty consistent, and I don’t think I’m at a place yet where I can transition away from it

But I have checked out the Foss options and there were some neat supplemental tools on f-droid, and at some point I’ll go through the play store and try out direct alternatives

This seems like it’ll break things like revanced, which honestly makes me sad mostly for Duolingo :(

Really hope folks find a way of spoofing this too. I’m hoping to switch to a custom ROM in the future and this doesn’t bode super well

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The Trump administration has continued releasing people charged with being in the country illegally to nongovernmental shelters along the U.S.-Mexico border after telling those organizations that providing migrants with temporary housing and other aid may violate a law used to prosecute smugglers.

I had a hard time following the title, heres some extra context (first paragraph of the article)

That’s the kinda shit that makes me wanna scream and put my head through the drywall 😅 I dunno why, but this specific kinda tech issue just gets me tilted faster than anything else lol
