the link I posted is metal gear solid song that i wanted to play at a protest. It's not necessarily a protest song its about turning away the torment's of your heart and turning towards eternal joy, but the Gaelic lyrics does make me thing of the songs that were written by all the conquered people throughout history and how those would make great anti war songs.

I do want songs about working class solidarity that are modern. I've picked up Iran ai lego songs, they're actually pretty good and the lyrics are pretty good, I haven't found any quite on the level, the Iranians go hard on trump.

seems like all the anti war songs are not from this decade and anti ice is lacking.

here are some songs I've picked out for protest for protest:

MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL 2 (feat. Anees, MC Abdul, Amer Zahr)

The Genocide That Is Not Over | Iranian LEGO War-Themed Video By Akhbarenfejari

Les Misérables | Do You Hear the People Sing?

IT AINT GONNA GO AWAY - ODE TO THE EPSTEIN FILES

Billionaire Buffet (feat. Kasane Teto)

Back in January we had a run in of break ins resulting in the work car being stolen from my house.

The thieves post on what I think is instagram about it and I have been sent these two photos. (Second in comments)

The main photo is from today so it appears I'm being watched after getting the car back

Any way of finding the account?

For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.

Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …

Who was yours ?

Why NFC on phones? (sh.itjust.works)

Sometimes on phone reviews I read that a certain model, often one released in a Western market, uses NFC for payment. In my country, mobile payments use QR codes so any phone with a camera can use them. Does NFC have any advantage over such a system?

(Research as in finding info, not creating it)

I feel like it's so much harder to find the right places to get info from when so much of the web has been enshittified by AI blog grifts & sponsors these days. I do not want my only source to be a Wikipedia page - that sucks & I'm always left desiring more from it! (Not to mention more controversial aspects often go un- or barely mentioned for 'impartiality' reasons)

Maybe it's just a me problem & I'm not being analytical or probing enough as a lot of my former hyperfixs were fictional & facilitated partly through social media. I just really miss going down rabbitholes & failing that I'd like more empirical evidence for my perspectives as I think I've forgotten how I developed them in the first place

I always enjoyed explaining to patients what we do, why, what they should do for aftercare and what happens afterwards. What I don't like is the grind that's nursing and how immature, lazy and uneducated, proud antivaxers, many nurses I work with are.

The subjects don't seem that difficult, it would be simply studying more comprehensibly anatomy, biology, chemistry, medicines, OR, legal...

I find it realistic to pass this bachelor but I'm on the older side already. My fears are:

  • a reduced job pool: everyone needs nurses, but the need for PAs is not as big. I'd have less choice.

  • age discrimination: true that most of us will have to work till 70 or 72 but I'm still afraid of being rejected for being old.

OTOH: better work life balance and clearly more money in a field that's not completely unknown to me and I don't hate.

I recognize it will likely not be respected, but is there a standard way to communicate a denial of consent using LaTeX? I'm considering using it for a job application package. I realize it's illadvised, and probably won't use it in this case, but there is just something so wrong to me about foregoing your rights to get a job and that's what spurred my interest.

Short answer: cities are too far apart and the USA is large. However, how much funding is there to really implement the same thing that exists in Japan but in the United States? Also, is there an incentive for that in the first place? What about population density? Japan is more compact regarding their population density while that's not the case for America plus both Osaka & Kyoto aren't too far from each other (but Miami & Washington DC are distant).

The headline: "South Korea criticizes Israel and compares its actions to Japanese sexual slavery."

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but isn't there a layer of irony here? Both South Korea and Japan struggle with high suicide rates, brutal work cultures, soaring living costs, and systemic pressures that push people to the edge. And in that context, sexual labor often becomes just another form of exploitation, not always consensual, often economic survival.

So when South Korea uses the trauma of sexual slavery as a rhetorical weapon against another country, while similar exploitative dynamics exist at home (even if different in scale and nature), doesn't that come off as hypocritical? Not saying Israel is blameless, just wondering if the pot is calling the kettle black.

Am I missing something?

I looked but don't see a thread about Iranian music. It bums me out that we're bombing yet another country that we know nothing about. I like to think we Internet people are all friends regardless of our governments. I'm literally having panic attacks that I can't stop my electeds from being assholes, I wish I could commiserate and make friends with everyone else

I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

I just started thinking about it. Why is space exploration even that necessary? They're spending so much money on it when we have so much problems in our own planet..

Hey guys despite being on this site for 3 years I still am subscribed to same lemmies. I have searched but I haven't found any active and insteresting lemmies. I'd be really thankful if you guys could give me some recommendations. I am interested in tech, privacy, security, and I like funny memes which are not too political.

The olympics.

I still hadn't cared for the olympics in quite a while, and I find that its last spark of relevance has faded back in the 90s/early 2000s. It has become politicized and commercialized, where there's little to no sense in getting that interested in them. It's also about just circlejerking for whichever country won the most medals, which ultimately doesn't matter compare to if we can respect a country that doesn't contribute to anymore shit that others do overall.

Also it's no surprise some of or most of the people attending are probably doped up too, so who cares about authenticity?

Even though Scotland is part of the UK, they print their own bank notes from 3 different banks: Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland & Clydesdale Bank. Same with Northern Ireland (not Ireland proper), their own version of the currency is from Ulster Bank. Despite that, they're both categorized as "Pound Sterling" (GBP).

Meaning they inherit the same monetary value as the British Pound, with the only difference being that they're issued by different banks (like the ones from the UK proper are issued by the Bank of England) while the Scottish ones are from either of those 3 banks mentioned & the Northern Irish one is from Ulster (and mainly used there).

Even though, both versions of the "Pound" exist: are they recognized in the UK (like Britain itself) as real money (legal tender) or will they consider it play money (refuse to accept)? The thing is, are they exchangeable in Europe or will there be issues with foreign exchanges on dealing with both Northern Irish & Scottish Pound notes?

If the name might not be familiar to you, you may recognize his face... He's the "Ex-CIA" guy from YouTube.. Do you think he's credible and how much of his words are true? To what extent is he trustable?

He is called Thaddäus Tentakel in German or Bläckvard Tentakel in Swedish.

Olives in egg salad (en.wikipedia.org)

As the last of the Easter eggs become egg salad, green olives in egg salad, yes or no? If yes, where are you? Trying to figure out where it's common. My wife and I believe that green olives belong in egg salad, but my coworkers say no.
