"I refuse to join an army that is only able to protect sharmuta bibi (netanyahu)
I refuse to join an immoral army that is sending children to their death
I refuse to serve a country that operates on bribery
I wont protect any of you
You can explode or just move to Berlin.

I wont step a foot in a place where blind motherfuckers
Who wanted to play themselves "heroes"
Been destroying territories, blowing buildings
Ruining families and orphaning children
They got their mouths shut
And guns put in their hands
they've been deviated to hatred
Turned into rats
While the royal family sits in their spa room
Others don't have money and sleep on the floor
They're hungry for bread while you're eating your cakes
Because the system works on few dollar bills.

Come and tell me that Im not ok
I refuse to be the country's property
Go fuck yourself, I'd be burried before id join the idf
I wont be a slave to an army who's a slave for a rich fucker
Come and tell me that im not ok
I never gonna swear on your holy book
Id rather die than join idf
No promise or threat is gonna change my mind on that.

Pull some coins out and youll get all you ever wanted
The ringing in your ears wont leave you because of your post trauma
They told you "join us, we will finance you"
And then they threw you to rot and made you sick in your head
Youve got a guilt for life, and blood on your hands
But tell me, didnt you knew that this is whats going to happen?

And they see me as a scum fuck with no rights in this state
Because i refused to be their fucking war dog
Say i dont deserve shit because i never wore that uniform
But im proud that i never did.

Come and tell me that I'm not ok
I refuse to be the country's property
Go fuck yourself, i'd be buried before id join the idf
I wont be a slave to an army whos a slave for a rich fucker
Come and tell me that I'm not ok
I never gonna swear on your holy book
Id rather die than join idf
Because everything about it is rotten
And i wont stay silent.

I refuse to join an army that is only able to protect sharmuta bibi
I refuse to join an immoral army that is sending children to their death
I refuse to serve a country that operates on bribery
I wont protect any of you
You can explode"

As always, survival rules:
1- if you can destroy something terrible, DO IT.
2- if you find a weapon, in a incipient skeezy situation, NEVER PUT IT DOWN.
3- if someone who IS NOT THERE WITH YOU tells you to not do any of the above, disregard them.
4- if you find yourself overwhelmed, nuke from orbit; IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE.

Apparently 28th April is Terry Pratchett Day, being his birthday an' all.

A person I never met, yet I still mourn his passing, for his works brought joy and comfort to myself and millions of others. Not to mention, as a teenager, a foundational education in society, politics, justice, and puns.

Call for help!

#Firefox is periodically getting reports of slow performance or even crash on YouTube, so far we haven't figured out the root cause.

So far the only suggested repro steps are:

1. Install uBlock Origin
2. Install Violentmonkey and get this userscript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/549531-youtube-volume-curve-designer
3. Open a YouTube live stream or this page: https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/profile/mekuna/builds/hydra-leveling-1-60-mekuna-s-hydrakuna

But any of my attempts ended up void. Can any of you try the same and see any memory usage spike?

There are maybe five reporters in Iceland who could do a good job of covering this and most of them aren't working at the moment because of burnout

UK/US media should, in theory, have access to the expertise but we aren't seeing much actual analysis outside of specialised outlets, industry-specific newsletters, and freelancers.

The non-captured media should be very much able to go deep on this, but none of them seem to be doing so and I'm not sure why. Are the just so degraded by cutbacks?

After spending quite a bit of the past couple of weeks chatting with friends and family, asking them what they're taking from the news, I think it's clear most of our news media is substantially downplaying the economic effects of the Hormuz straight crisis

What I can't figure out is whether it's intentional or not. I know it's unintentional in Icelandic media as they simply no longer have the resources or expertise to properly outline what's happening, but I can't figure out UK or US media

You shouldn't let your enemies use GoDaddy either. It's that bad

"At least you've got job security"

I am fucking -done- with hearing this.

No, I don't.

My 'job security' is an illusion based on the presumption that, in the event that my skillset is needed - or even essential - that there will be someone who will pay for the privilege of accessing those skills.

Except that the fucking LLM jockeys have decided to claim that their product has my skillset.

Even tho it demonstrably does not, this still means that the people who would presumably hire me are uninterested in doing so, due to the existence of a machine that promises to do it for them.

And when they fail, and their business goes insolvent, they still will not be hiring me because -they no longer have a fucking business to hire me for-.

So no. My carefully built, decades-of-practice skills are -not- job security, despite LLMs being obviously, flagrantly, and blatantly incapable of replacing me.
