I remember my first time... HBO had a supercut of Godfather I and II in chronological order on one of their free preview deals. My wife and I were like "Who's going to watch 7 hours of Godfather?"
7 hours later...

I think part of it is transparency. As a mod on lemmy.world, it benefits me to be able to look at the modlog and see a users entire history, not just on lemmy.world.
It depends on how serious they want to be about stopping the slaughter of innocents.
The only thing that's going to work is regime change and forcing a two state solution.
It's the lemmy modlog, it shows all federated actions.
You can see the same thing for lemmy.world here:
It's way, way too cold most of the year.
There are also dangers like sneaker logs. I love the coast and visit it when I can, but when you're a kid growing up here they always teach you "Don't turn your back to the ocean" because it has no pity and can and will straight up kill you.

"The coastline of Northern California, Oregon and Washington State are steep, tree lined, and have cold to frigid water temperatures. These beaches are quite unlike the flat, broad beaches of Southern California with their inviting warm water temperatures. The steep slopes of the Northwest’s coastlines are much more likely to cause sneaker waves; the trees that line the cliffs can wind up in the swift ocean currents running along the shoreline; while the cold to frigid temperatures, depending on the season, can induce cold water paralysis for anyone caught in these northwestern ocean waters.
While in Southern California people at the beach are in bathing suits or light summer clothes wading and swimming in warm waters with open beaches, in contrast in the North they wear heavier clothes, coats, shoes, and boots due to the cooler temperatures and in autumn and winter those waters are frigid. Encounters with the waves in Southern California, with its warm water temperatures and broad beaches, might simply knock a person over on the beach, but in the North the cold water temperatures could induce cold water paralysis rendering the individual helpless to escape the pull of the receding wave returning to the ocean.
Always respect the ocean on the beaches of the North Coast of California, Oregon, Washington with their steep, rugged tree lined coasts, and frigid ocean temperatures."
Israel is the 8th largest arms exporter in the world, they don't need our weapons to keep doing what they're doing.

Not sure how this is a crime... breach of TOS, sure, but a crime?
What law is being broken here?
If his fake bands are being paid for bot clicks, that's a problem for the platforms to figure out. They need to examine their TOS.
This was bouncing around work:
Riffing on Harvey Comics, specifically Richie Rich, Freckles, and Casper the Friendly Ghost.
Megalopolis, the new movie from Francis Ford Coppola, is getting dragged pretty heavily. There's lots of drama surrounding it and the trailer that dropped yesterday has been pulled because it uses some made up negative critic quotes about The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Dracula.
Archive of the trailer here:
What I find stunning is you could tell me it's an adaptation of the comic book "Mister X" and I would totally believe you!
Mister X is pretty obscure now, but it was a popular indie book back in the 80s, originally illustrated by Jaime Hernandez of Love and Rockets fame.
The basic premise is an architect was hired to design a city using the premise of "psychetecture". Architecture designed to promote mental health and well being. Sort of the polar opposite of Lovecraftian architecture.
Naturally, business interests interfered, altered his designs, and now the city is driving people mad. Mister X takes it on himself to correct the problems his city is causing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_X_(Vortex)
"Mister X's influence can be seen and was acknowledged in films like Terry Gilliam's Brazil,[6] Tim Burton's Batman,[7] and Alex Proyas' Dark City.[8]"
The author, Dean Motter, followed Mister X with related books "Electropolis" from Image comics and "Terminal City" from Vertigo, all worth reading.
So if you catch the trailer for Megalopolis and go "Well that looks interesting..." or are a fan of Brazil, Batman or Dark City, here's some reading material for you:
