@awkc6375@emperorof_dune@UniverseIce They literally claim the spen slot prevents a wider battery from being used (yes there are workaround and if Samsung wanted to they could put a battery in). Additionally the spen prevents magnets from being built into the phone. That's the biggest tradeoff and not worth it.
@awkc6375@emperorof_dune@UniverseIce Fuck the S-pen. Gotta be the most useless feature Samsung apologists have held onto that have prohibited the ultra from being a better phone. Id bet my life if they offered non spen ultra w/ bigger battery and magnets would out sell other options. Pro will best phone this gen.
Nah because there’s nothing you can hate about Netanyahu that isn’t also innately true of the apartheid state of Israel.
Hate Netanyahu because he’s racist? Israel has always been racist.
Hate Netanyahu because he’s a war criminal? Israel has always committed war crimes.
Hate Netanyahu because he abuses and oppresses Palestinians? Israel has always abused and oppressed Palestinians.
Hate Netanyahu because he starts wars with Israel’s neighbors? Israel has always started wars with its neighbors.
Liberal Zionists act like Netanyahu has all these bad qualities that the genocidal apartheid state of Israel does not also have, but that’s just plain false. Israel was built on the premise of nonstop violence and abuse, and nonstop violence and abuse is all it has ever delivered, from its very inception.
Israel was built on a political ideology that is inherently racist and violent, and it is that racism and violence that elevated Benjamin Netanyahu to power.
Netanyahu didn’t create Israel’s violence and racism. Israel’s violence and racism created Netanyahu.
Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.
My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.
They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.
"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."
He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.
And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.
It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.
Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.
It's a real mess, man.
That guy sucks.
@CamineroFanClub@Dishlocation@PeterAppel23 I love reading the absurd justification for Michael Phelps. If track has 25m,50m, 150m, run backwards, sideways Usain Bolt would have 500 golds. Stop looking at medal count and look at how much better the athlete is than their peers. Every one of Phelps world records are gone
Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.
Thomas Massie has lost his congressional seat against a primary opponent whose Israel lobby funding made the race the most expensive House of Representatives primary in history. Massie has been a rare Republican opponent of Israeli abuses on Capitol Hill.
The spending on Massie’s ouster topped out at a staggering $32 million when all was said and done. The second- and third-most expensive House primary races were also heavily slanted by Israel lobby funding, with AIPAC pouring millions into toppling progressive Democrats Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.
Americans just watched the Israel lobby openly manipulate yet another election, and then in like two weeks they’re going to hear their government tell them they need to regime change another foreign country to bring “democracy” to its people. Americans themselves do not have democracy.
The ceasefire with Iran is tenuous and could end at any time. Washington is currently drumming up ridiculously transparent pretexts to justify attacking Cuba. And you just know as soon as the bombs start falling on whatever country they’re going to fall on, Americans will be told this is a good thing because it will bring freedom and democracy to whatever population is getting ripped apart by military explosives.
It’s just so silly how often the US propaganda machine bangs on about “democracy” while vast fortunes are poured into slanting the American electoral process to advance the agendas of plutocrats and special interest groups.
Let’s bring democracy to the Iraqi people! Oh no, the Russians are interfering in our democracy!
And meanwhile nothing of the sort actually exists in America. When the elections go toward whoever can afford to spend the most on manipulating and deceiving the public into voting their way, that’s not democracy. That’s plutocracy.
The rich buy up news outlets and social media platforms, pour funding into think tanks and lobby groups, and sponsor the primary campaigns of anyone who disagrees with them, and in so doing they are able to exert enough influence to get the public to vote in whatever way advances their agendas.
That’s why Americans have a joke of a minimum wage and no normal healthcare system. It’s why corporations are allowed to exploit the working class and pollute the environment without consequence. It’s why AI is being shoved down our throats with zero regulation while it consumes our clean water and takes our jobs. And it’s why American-made bombs are still falling in Lebanon and Gaza.
The rich and powerful are going to keep doing this until they are made to stop. They’re going to keep using their wealth and influence to manipulate public behavior until people stop allowing them to. You can’t vote this problem away, because they control the votes.
Forget about bringing democracy to Cuba. Try bringing democracy to the United States.
The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million.
Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone.
On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers.
When the establishment is willing to spend $35M+ and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why.
Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy a seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.
You are watching in real time as billionaires steal a seat in Congress to punish the sitting congressperson who forced the revelation of their pedophilic tendencies. They are actively working to buy this seat & rob Kentuckians of someone who actually cares about their state.
An Israeli soldier in 1985:
‘I’m not dealing with human beings (Lebanese). They are all terrorists and they don't have any human feelings, so l kill them without remorse.’
Reporter: ‘They live here and they’re trying to defend their villages.’
IDF soldier: ‘They know we’re going back to Israel in two months, why do they have to try and kill people?’
Israeli soldiers commit barbarism and mass slaughter, and then play the victim…since 1948.
Pay attention to the language.
“Israel tells residents to leave” like they’re doing them a favor and not threatening to kill them. Israel has no right to do so.
Also, there is no “buffer zone,” it’s Lebanese territory.
This is how you whitewash occupation and ethnic cleansing.
WHY CHINA F*CKS WITH IRAN!
The moment the US and Israel launched their brutal war of aggression against Iran, Western commentators began concern-trolling about its implications for China. Convinced that the 'regime' would collapse imminently, many expected the US to seize control of Iran's oil exports as effortlessly as it seemed to do in Venezuela after the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro in January. Much was made of the fact that 90% of those exports were bound for China.
Barely a month in, those expectations lie in ruins alongside the smoking rubble of US bases across West Asia. Iran has asserted sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, demanding payment for safe passage in Chinese renminbi. Its own Asia-bound oil exports have increased while those of its Gulf rivals are cratering. And amid the worst oil shock in history, China's long-term investments in renewable energy stand vindicated as never before.
These developments are accelerating a multipolar transition long in the making. At its heart lies a bilateral relationship between Iran and China that dates back to the Revolution of 1979. Chinese arms helped buttress Iran during the brutal eight-year imposed war against Iraq. Its oil purchases fortified Iran's resistance economy against Trump's 'maximum pressure' sanctions regime. And by welcoming Iran into BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, China is helping it assume its rightful place at the heart of a rising Eurasia.
And where China's official statements at the UN and other forums still smack of diplomatic restraint, its 1.4 billion people have wholeheartedly joined the global information war on the side of Iran as it fights to liberate humanity from the clutches of the Epstein empire.

"What do you want? To exterminate two million Gazans?"
“Of course. I have no problem with that... The one who'll be born there tomorrow will be a terrorist. So if you can, prevent him from existing"
a Zionist fanatic at the Oxford Union angrily asks George Galloway if he is racist because of his opposition to the genocidal Israeli occupation, and is applauded by the audience. Here's Galloway's response that gets the audience to applaud him by the end:
