I read recently "On Freedom" by Timothy Snyder and he mentions that. Billionaires are sucking or wealth and when we suffer, we are told that this is temporary and toward a greater good (which never comes).

Sadly it is successful and a lot of Americans believe that.

It opened my eyes seeing how we are set up to fight each other (blaming minorities) while oligarchs are making our lives more miserable by hoarding country's wealth.

100 troops? That many? Why didn't the whole Middle East surrendered already?

But seriously, this was response to Iran's attack and the soldiers are there to operate THAAD batteries to stop Iranian rockets (you know, to discourage Iran from firing at them in the first place to reduce chance of escalation).

I was asking how many US soldiers are actually taking part in the offensive in Gaza.

Are US troops involved there? Because one candidate clearly says that Biden is not doing enough to help Israel.

Israel currently is led by a similar fascist with criminal record to trump, that once he loses his power he will go to jail. He is using attack on October 7 as an excuse to get rid of Palestine.

And we have seen that no one can really stop Israel. Do you think Biden wouldn't prefer that the conflict would be over (and Israel wouldn't be stirring new shit) and not distract from the war in Ukraine?

It's clear that Netanyahu won't stop what he is doing no matter what and actually wants trump to win as trump promises to help.

He said he was voting in 2016, so he is in jury duty list already and this argument is pointless.

I still don't get how we ignored our own constitution and allowed insurectionist to have a second chance.

WTF America?

I mean it's early to tell, but so far it is reported that those were precise attacks towards military targets. So if that's true, that would explain that attitude from ordinary Iranians.

Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.

What is "No need YT ads" and the "Ctrl+P"?

Isn't Ghostery made by an ads company?

Apparently we are normally breathing through a single nostril and alternate and being congested just makes you more aware of it.

We desperately need tax on wealth.

Yeah, it primarily happens when people don't wash their hands, we normally have tons of them in certain place.

So yeah, ew.

 

So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old.

What was unusual was that within minutes I got the red envelope. And looking at it there was a response to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago.

So first thing is that as many were saying Reddit undeletes comments. I initially ignored that I saw some comments that I thought were deleted, but I assume it was because subreddits were locked and that's why they were invisible to Power Delete Suite, but this was on r/programming which was unlocked for quite some time (not sure if it ever was locked).

Second thing is the response within minutes.

So my 2 year old comment still exists and it's not showing up on my profile. I wouldn't even know about it is not for that response.

Of course this could be a coincidence, the account that responded to me is 9 years old, the content of it seems normal, although I saw comments on r/ChatGPT.

Though the timing bugs me off. If the comment is not from a real person maybe when Reddit restored it the AI code thought it was a new comment and responded to it.

Another thing that contributes to my suspicion of chatbots being deployed is that I noticed since the API protest and after they unlocked subreddits is that I get more upvotes and more responses than I used to.

Anyone observed something similar?
