Same, but in excited influencer voice so it’s even worse

Used Boost for the other site, and also for Lemmy. Idk if it’s just Samsung phones, but whether post content, especially videos or gifs, loaded was a crapshoot. There were entire instances that won’t load a single post, and had similar behavior for subs on the other site. Spoilers didn’t work, links and formatting got messed up frequently, it was just an ever-growing list of small things that slightly annoyed me individually, but became ridiculous all at once It got so bad that I switched to Sync. I prefer Boost’s UI, but unless they fix things in a way that works for Galaxy, it’s gonna be a hard pass for me

I think the idea is one of them is convincing someone to not do something they still have the power to do, while the other would be taking that power away completely. There may be a truly foolproof way to disarm a weapon, but there will never be a foolproof way to convince someone of anything due to the unpredictability of people.

Yeah, looks surprisingly salvageable. Everything is generally in the right place. I’m sure a good artist could put this to rights

I guess a better analogy would be a guy with his beaten and bloody wife who is pleading for help from the officer, who just shrugs and says “Sorry, ma’am” before leaving. But the general idea remains the same.

That’s my reading as well. I have no idea what is actually in Article IX but it sounds like UAE snuck in “except us” when it came to defining the ICJ’s jurisdiction. It’s giving SovCit vibes, only instead of a sovereign citizen unbeholden to their government and declaring their house a nation state, it’s a country unbeholden to the world and declaring themselves outside of its purview. And the ICJ is just shrugging their shoulders saying the same thing.

Imagine someone shooting up heroin while driving, getting pulled over on a highway on-ramp, then telling the cop who is looking at the needle in their arm that technically this is a highway, so highway patrol are the only ones who could pull them over. In what world does the cop shrug and say “Aw shucks, you’re right” before getting back in their squad car and driving off? Because it seems like the international equivalent of that just happened but with genocide instead of addiction.

Finally, a meme here i can read. English may be Germanic but it does not feel like it when you look at a lot of German

The eye sees what the heart wants i suppose

We’re gonna need a bigger M&M’s tube…
