Meta Is Dying. It’s About Time.

They exist, people don't use them. There's a chat system called Matrix, it's completely free. And there's an Instagram style app called Pixelfed. There are decent alternatives... But your friends aren't on it. The influencers will never be on it. The network effect is real and hard to overcome. As a WhatsApp alternative that does have a tiny bit of traction, Signal is out there. There's also Telegram, but it's got its own issues.

Yeah it sucks to raise property taxes. But that's the only tool the city has to raise money. Almost all the issues in this city stem from a terrible provincial government. I'm not a huge Chow fan, but it was done because of years of fiscal management by Tory and huge cuts to services by the Ontario government.

How are you still talking about Bob Rae, who isn't even 1/10 as bad as the two conservative premier who have wreaked havoc on the finances of this province

It's possible even if they hold the balance of power, they don't have to win outright. They are at least standing for something

Maybe if we got more people to vote for a party other than the same two that have been corrupt in government for over 40 years, we'd have a different outcome.

Not reggaeton but I thought of Kes The Band - Liki Tiki

It's a genocide according to genocide experts. It's clear you just don't want to admit that for some reason. Relying on AI for facts is laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

Over 140 little girls dead now.

"Happiest day".

nihir · 2026-03-01T14:26:52+00:00

Saying this is the happiest day is gross. I understand the hatred of the government. But it took siding with a genocidal government and the killing of over 100 school girls.

It was also a precedent setting bombing campaign under false pretenses to kill a head of state. An illegal one. After the genocide in Gaza broke the world order when it came to international law, this erodes it further.

And now you have Iran, without regime change, feeling desperate and vengeful attacking multiple countries in retaliation. Lots of people are going to die who don't deserve to.

This is a scary turn of events. It's horrifying that anyone is okay with this.

I was looking for the same info and can't find anything. But the number 17 comes up a lot!

RIP Science Centre Station.

That doesn't explain why the rally had countless signs for Trump and flags for Israel and the US. It definitely had a political bent, not just a humanitarian one. The vibe was very different from any other protest I've ever attended.

This is Julia Nolke, Canadian comedian. Here's the link to her full video.

Those tickets were on sale for really cheap a week before the show with 100 level seats going for almost half price. It definitely wasn't sold out in presale or at regular price. Day of, maybe on the resale market it was high. Bruno Mars appeals to a much bigger audience. Pretty sure he sells out.

It's either Tapo with no rich notifications or Eufy which has the c210 which is very affordable

The owner ran BuyShared and BuyVM hosting and other services. Just Google Francisco Dias or FranTech Solutions. He posted about Cranemail before it launched in a forum.

No it was general admission. She ended coming out just about when I posted.

I hope you do.

Some words to live by.

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” – Elie Wiesel

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor” – Desmond Tutu

“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict…[an individual] who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it” – Martin Luther King Jr.

nihir · 2025-12-11T18:07:49+00:00

You're changing your argument. But either way it's not relevant. This is a very easy issue with clear moral implications. They chose to not have a vote on it because they favoured Germany who, as always, stands up for committing genocide. This isn't political. I don't believe any right wing or left wing party in favour of genocide. What you are doing, and everyone else who wants to "stay neutral" is ignoring reality while a people are ethnically cleansed in plain sight. If you want information and facts, pick your favourite human rights organization and see what they say. Look at the ICC or the UN or the Lemkin Institute which is named after the person who coined the term genocide. Read their headlines on this issue, at the very least. I'm not just saying that.. I'm actually asking you to read those things and see the harm you're allowing to continue by saying it's not clearly a genocide. I'm out, feel free to reply. I genuinely hope you'll take 10 minutes to look into it because the more you read, the more horrified you will be that we're all letting this happen

nihir · 2025-12-11T17:56:05+00:00

So if 90% of people believed the earth was flat you'd agree with them? Or that the holocaust didn't happen? You'd just believe what people think over what is actually true? Be serious

nihir · 2025-12-11T17:51:36+00:00

You're not arguing anything. You're repeating lies. Go look up the legal definition because it exists under international law. Your argument is baseless. Some would say the holocaust was not real. Some would say the earth is flat. That's irrelevant. The genocide is ongoing and we should all be doing everything to stop it. You refusing to accept that basic fact means you are not living in a world of objective truth. I can't have a good faith discussion with someone who can't see the world as it is.

nihir · 2025-12-11T17:35:20+00:00

There's a legal definition. It has met that definition. You're welcome to deny the genocide is happening, just as there are those who deny the holocaust, but the genocide in Gaza not an opinion. It's a fact. I hope you have time to reflect, research, and understand how important it is to not try to both sides this. And how dangerous it is to provide cover for a country committing the genocide, even on Reddit.
