Hope isn't deluding yourself that there are no problems in the world. Hope is believing that the world can be changed for the better.

The first step to fixing a problem is admitting there's a problem. Once you understand the problem you can then work on solutions to those problems.

I think you have "hope" confused with delusion and apathy. You can go ahead and hope and pray that things will improve and leave it up to the adults to actually improve things for you. Making real positive change involves taking a cold hard look at reality. If you're unwilling to understand reality then you're incapable of making any positive change.

It's all in the reflexes.

Yeah, it's really weird. Sure if you're a comedian doing stand up, you should come up with original material. But if you're just drinking some beers and having some laughs, why would anyone care?

I remember seeing a countdown clock on a TV show for the OIsen twins turning 18.

Those girls were on TV since they were babies and people were lusting over them. It was the creepiest thing I've ever seen. I don't recall the Olsen twins ever having any roles that were at all sexual in nature. So people were lusting over them solely because they were children on their TV screens that they were sexually attracted to.

Well we shouldn't pretend that the internet reacts in a perfectly normal and healthy way to someone going nude on a TV show.

It would be posted and shared and people will wank over it. People will be creepy as fuck about it. If it's a body double, it's the the nude body of someone the internet weirdos don't know, then they won't be creepy weirdos over it. Well I suppose they will still find a way to be weirdos, they'll express anger over it. But that's probably preferable to millions of creepy weirdos wanking over a scene about a woman being humiliated.

So it's not shame over her body, more knowing in advance how shamefully people will respond to it.

What assumptions? In your post you're putting everything into either a capitalist or socialist box as if that's all there is. You think of Linux as only a "fuck you" to corporations.

Do you think Linus doesn't accept PRs from corporations or something? Do you think Linux isn't used by corporations?

I think you're the one making a lot of assumptions and oversimplifications.

Here's Harrison Ford's first movie appearance:

According to Ford, the director told him he wouldn't make it in the movie business because when a great actor is on the screen, you know it's a great actor. Ford replied, "I think when I'm on the screen you're not supposed to see a great actor, you're supposed to just see a bellhop."

If Marx were alive today he'd probably hate modern day "marxists" and they'd hate him.

Fascists use religion (along with everything else available) to gain, increase, and maintain power. Fascists will even use socialist rhetoric if it gains them power. Actions matter more than what people are saying.

You can say you're a socialist or whatever, but if you want to hurt people simply for being different from you, then you're a fascist.

Yeah nothing going on at all... just the Prime Minister resigned, no biggie.

Sounds like you understand everything that's important to know about this race.

The mentality that everything is an opinion and all opinions are valid is an sign of acute internet brainrot.

The truth actually exists. You've spent too much time on the internet if you think in terms of "choose your own reality".

Of course it's just a cartoon. In reality, Sideshow Bob wouldn't be arrested at the end.

Protest swiftly condemned by all levels of government; organizing group denies hospital targeted

Toronto police say they are increasing their presence along hospital row after a pro-Palestinian protest downtown on Monday night, including outside Mount Sinai Hospital.

Toronto Police Service spokesperson Stephanie Sayer told CBC News the increased police presence is to ensure that essential hospital services and emergency routes remain accessible.

"Interfering with the operations of a hospital is not acceptable," Sayer wrote in an email.

Police have not said if the hospital's operations were impacted by the protest. The hospital has not responded to CBC News's request for comment.

"The Toronto Police Service is investigating several incidents that occurred in front of Mount Sinai Hospital and along the demonstration route. As we have said before, officers use their discretion during large crowd demonstrations and even if arrests are not deemed safe to make at the time, investigations will continue and charges can be laid at a later date," Sayer said.

GENEVA, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday it had opened an investigation into several employees suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel by Hamas and that it had severed ties with those staff members. "The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7," said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General.

"To protect the agency's ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay."

Lazzarini did not disclose the number of employees allegedly involved in the attacks, nor the nature of their alleged involvement. He said, however, that "any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror" would be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.
