The most annoying thing is they put buttons on the remote for services I don't subscribe to. Accidentally press one of those buttons when trying to change the volume? Well I guess we're spending the next 30 seconds opening a streaming service I don't use and then existing out of it (which they make unnecessarily difficult to do) and then finding my way back to what I was watching.

So you're saying that you're an Iranian bot and you're upset you weren't mentioned in the meme?

Going along with narratives pushed by people fighting for only their own self interest simply because it ticks the right boxes (contrarian, corporation bad, media bad) isn't going to make the world a better place. Especially if you're going on about things that makes it clear you're out of touch with reality.

I drink coffee hotter than that every day. Why do you think McDonald's was serving hot coffee instead of luke-warm coffee? Did you consider why the working class people they serve coffee to during the day might want it that way? Are you so out of touch you can't understand why the working class would want coffee hotter than the pumpkin spice mocha frapa whatever that a cute barrista writes your name on your cup of at the fancy coffee shop you go to?

Have fun defending personal injury lawyers so you never think about having a healthcare system would mean people wouldn't have to sue to get their medical bills paid. Could you imagine a world where people wouldn't need lawyers to sue to get medical bills paid?

No I wasn't saying you're like Hamas. I'm saying you're like the KKK LOL.

Visiting foreign leaders are issued a diplomatic visa by the State Department, which comes with diplomatic immunity. A mayor of a city doing this would just be a pointless publicity stunt as someone with diplomatic immunity would be released as soon as it came before a Judge.

NYC is the location of the UN so going down this path would erode the effectiveness of the UN at it's primary purpose (diplomacy) more than it already has been.

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

Basically that's what they did with Ocean's 11. The original Frank Sinatra version was shit. But it was a good idea, a crew of super cool dudes get together to rob a casino.

They remade it and it was very successful.

The Thing has a similar origin.

But it's rare things like that happen because Hollywood execs usually need an existing property with good numbers to greenlight a movie.

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.

I wouldn't say it's leftist, though there's a lot of leftists here. Lemmy is more like how internet discussion boards used to be. There's a lot of people with weird opinions on things, and there's no Reddit Karma pushing people to conform to the consensus. So people are going to have weird takes on things, and there's not 1000 comments upvoted above the weird ones, so you're going to see comments like that. So reply to with you your weird opinions on those weird comments.

Welcome to the version internet that's not pre-packaged and filtered to be bland!
