“Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself.”

Obviously I know the answer, but why is such an easily disproven lie uncritically repeated? Does literally no one in the mainstream media have the guts to call it out?

No. You do not have a right to defend yourself from your own illegal occupation for fucks sake.

I know. I’d assume everyone on Lemmy knows. That’s why I said ‘free’ in scare quotes and not free.

Anecdotal, but a friend of mine was ticketed for it within the first week it went into effect. She (understandably) assumed that being stopped at a stop light was acceptable. That said, I’m not aware of any enforcement since then and wouldn’t be surprised if they deliberately only enforced it right after it took effect.

Still wouldn’t risk it, though.

In Virginia, at least, it’s not a meaningful distinction.

There used to be an exception for GPS, but the state changed the law a few years ago so that any non-hands-free use of a phone in a non-parked is a ticketable offense. Swiping away an ad at a red light would technically be illegal.

I’ve been getting a lot of ‘suggested’ locations and sponsored pop ups in Google Maps the few weeks. I get that it’s a ‘free’ product, but ugh. My GPS while I’m driving down the highway is one of those things that really, really needs to be clutter-free.

For fucks sake, the 1968 DNC protests are what popularized the term ‘police riot.’

How big are your bags?

We need a maximum age limit for politicians and voters. People that aren’t sticking around for dinner don’t get to pick the groceries.

So, so I get a prorated refund on my Google One subscription, or…?

Since no one apparently read the article, it’s the Democrats doing this.

The Debt Collective named Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) as particularly responsible for the language.

I mean, we should definitely do something, but the George Floyd protests failed to make any lasting change.

It’s not a coincidence. For instance there’s the GILEE program which is literally a Georgia to Israel police exchange/training program.

This is the one Windows app I just cannot find a good alternative to. Deadbeef comes the closest, but even it is laggy when searching my library, sometimes crashes when I add too many files, and has a mediocre search function.

Arming bureaucrats and giving them legal immunity was maybe society’s largest mistake.
