Saw this vid earlier today! It's like an extension of that earlier one that also touched on the dual stairwell issue (though I believe the containing video was about something else). But yeah, it'd be nice to see more nuanced conversation about these topics in more places.

He should, and he can, but he doesn't.

I misread that bit by the QR code as "scam here." Somehow I think that's equally accurate.

My first thought before reading was that it's a shame of course, but not a surprise. While reading, I didn't see (or missed?) if charges are going to be laid in this case. Maybe they're just gathering info on who to charge? Surely there have to be existing laws that suffice.

I tried to find where Haaretz wrote about STOIC (as referenced in this article), and instead came across an article about STOIC having had a campaign to influence lawmakers. (It's paywalled, but the comments section is interesting.) There's also a headline off that page about a march of nationalist Israelis through "the Palestinian area of Jerusalem," chanting:

warning - antagonistic and hate-filled words
"Death to Arabs."

This post specifically says you can't (without the bypass many won't understand how to do).

Personally, I like to check both Firework (for the forecast animation), and Accuweather (for additional local measurement data).

Yes, here's another joke (you might be able to see the first couple of reviews without logging in):

Interesting observation. I've done the same myself, at least in urban surroundings. I hope it makes your walk more enjoyable and satisfying.

Carlin was good at what he did but he absolutely did punch down, just not at a specific person. The overarching message for a lot of his comedy was "You know you're all being screwed over and maybe you have a hard time doing anything about it, but you deserve it because you're stupid." It's just such a popular sentiment to call everyone else in society stupid, while excluding oneself, that I guess few people notice those undertones and their implications.

It helps to grow up cleaning your own schools and having being taught personal responsibility from a very young age. I have no doubt there are still elementary kids commuting to other towns alone by train to go to school, as there were when I was living there.

I'm sure this has been solved already but I'm just wondering how you ensure people are voting based on the helpfulness and/or merit of the response. That's the ideal on Lemmy but it's obviously not always the case here. Presumably, you'd have to be logged in on the other platform to vote but you can just see the discussion from Lemmy, I guess?

How about when they inevitably share user data with advertisers (assuming that isn't the plan from the start)?
