Ooof. I wonder if she was going to try to be a doctor… and I wonder how ethics boards and such will view actions like these. Probably just blew up her entire career with some stupidity.

You don’t need someone to tell you don’t pretend to be a doctor. Maybe you do need to tell people not to be a piece of shit, but let me help.

Stop being pieces of shit.

Does anyone have stats on Afghanistan’s opinions on America’s occupation right before we left? I imagine most of them wanted America to leave…

Though I’m now curious what their TRUE opinion was of the Taliban, because I see people wanting Communism back in Russia, I imagine people wanted the Taliban back instead of the Americans.

I’m sure at least 50 percent of them are like “Fuck no” (women), but when that group isn’t a huge part of the people guarding the country, I wonder if this was inevitable. Even if we somehow destroyed the entire Taliban, there would be another fundamental Islamic group who wanted to take over.

I wonder if it was “hard” or “I want the Taliban to take over.” There’s probably a decent amount of people in that area that can fundamentally agree with the Taliban. it’s a religious and oppression group. If you’re ideologically aligned with the Taliban, and male, you’re probably either as good or better of under them.

Not saying this is everything but I imagine there’s at least some people who are ok with the new government, mostly because they don’t care about others over their own self.

I’m not surprised.

Hell I’m pretty sure people are forgetting Ukraine is at war. This is why I hated the “They’re winning” “Russia is retreating” rhetoric. Because wars take a long time and a lot of people will die in them. People are cheering something they have no part in but by saying “Ukraine is winning” I think many of them also add “And now we can stop focusing on them”.

Part of it is the media diverting attention or focusing on what they want people to focus on (watch how coverage of different shootings are covered. If it’s a white guy with a death toll, it’s covered far more than if it’s a woman, a non-minority, or a low death toll. People will defend that by “It’s focusing on the higher death toll” But doesn’t focus on the coverage changes based on race, gender, or if it’s a gang/drug related shooting.

Part of this is click bait but I think part of it too is a narrative that’s formed. Which is why school shootings are covered more than random alleys and such. But the reason why isn’t the problem, it’s more how the media shapes the national narrative due to what they decide to focus on.

The other part is people have enough going on in their life that they can’t think of every little thing going on in the world, but since the news is covering this, I guess we’ll focus a bit on Afghanistan for a bit again.

Reddit’s decline is greatly exaggerated.

You’re correct, still not 36 though.

36 days… July 3rd to August 6… is 34 35 days.

I find it very hard to believe anything that makes such a simple mistake doesn’t have other mistakes.

Wait… You built a computer. Installed an OS on it, one of the easiest OSes to install… And now are having an issue installing steam… And somehow it’s the OS’ fault?

This is either fake, trying to pirate windows, or your trying to avoid responsibility for not being able to assemble a simple computer. Wtf?

This is making me think…

3010. Some guy hates his job, which is to fly to Voyager from Space station Gamma 32 and clean it off, because kids like to take their spacecraft out and tag it with rude names. Voyager still continues on it’s trek. The guy hates his job, it’s just what was known as a Janitor on Earth, which has almost no purpose in the post-consumption society.

And yet we sit here in 2023 and would be utterly fascinating with every single part of that idea. I don’t know if we’ll ever reach it, but I could see a future that is so far ahead of where we are today, that it would be unrecognizable.

I hope we have a chance to get there.

It should be VIM

No one comes back from VIM.

Those who say they have are dirty liars… or have it paused in the background.

Others were doped against their will or even without them knowing.

I’ve heard rumors about this, and I doubt it. Especially when there was an American athlete who claimed that’s what happened to her…

But I’m sure it has happened over history and my god that must be heart breaking, the people you put your full trust into has betrayed that and both put you are risk, but destroyed your credibility when found out. Fucking heart breaking.

So if I pointed a gun at you and told you to rob someone with a fake gun… I hope you’d agree I should be in trouble not yourself. So if your correct (and you are) and these athletes were forced to by their government to use performance enhancing drugs (or not be part of the programs) why are you blaming the athletes instead of the government that forced them to do so?

The idea is actually that nearly every single one of their athletes are doping

If you had proof of that, I’d suggest you publish it. Not just someone saying that, but actual verifiable proof of it.

I’m sure some people who were doping (remember many were forced to under their doping programs) weren’t caught, but the big thing is there’s limited proof to the size of it.

Then again, do you honestly 100 percent believe every other country’s athletes are clean? There’s many ways to “beat” the test, but experts guess it could be between 10-40 percent of the athletes who competed in 2020 might have been cheating with performance enhancing drugs… that’s bad, but worse, the results can be so delayed they come a decade later due to new drugs, and new tests to detect it.

The idea is the majority of their athletes are proven to be clean. There are definitely a decent number who got caught, and more scrutiny should be on Russia athletes than any other (Though all should be fully tested), but I believe it exposed only a subset of the Russian team was caught. 70 percent of the Russians were allowed to compete under the Olympic Flag.

Do I think IOC caught everyone who was doping? Of course not. Do I think every Russian was doping? I find that equally hard to believe.

Then again the fact it was only a four year ban for a state sponsored scheme? WTF… but it just show IOC is still just one of the worst governing bodies in sports.

Read up about this, because you’re mistaken. This wasn’t just because she’s from the “Wrong country”. She’s an outspoken advocate for the war. Kharlan’s brother is defending the Ukraine in the army.

Yeah I wouldn’t be able to shake her hand either.

“reinstated”… I mean her win exists, but she still was kicked out of the tournament. She’ll get her place, but I would bet hard money on the fact she would have preferred to stay in the tournament and compete for real.

This is IOC saving face, something they have to do far too frequently.

It sounds like the IFE is also making the right move to remove the handshake. I won’t say all Russians (under the Olympic flag) have to be banned. Though this pro-war piece of shit is make a hell of an effort for me to change my mind on that. But forced sportsmanship needs to stop being a thing, because then it’s not sportsmanship, when it’s a rule, it’s just a requirement of what you have to do.

Tumblr scared, there’s porn on the Fediverse…

Also I have a feeling they lose something valuable (The ability to serve ads) for something not as important (Access to more publcly available content)

PS. They can of course serve ads, but what stops lemmy.world from connecting to them and sharing the same content ad free?

Considering this is 16 minutes old and a currently happen situation, it’s very likely BBC doesn’t keep that information on hand, and likely has to go source that.

I doubt the soldiers put out a press release as the first thing they did detailing the ideological differences, and more focused on consolidating power right now.

What’s the issue with taking ownership of your posts with you?

I think the question is will they allow it. Though I’m sure there’s weird edge cases. I’m not an expert on the Ferdiverse, but let’s say you hope from Lemmy.world to Threads or something like that. But Lemmy.ca banned threads, now your posts have moved. It kind of creates a weird migration.

Though the counter argument also exists “Why do you need to take ownership of posts?” I don’t know if that’s as valuable to go through the hassle. If anything moderator positions is what would matter more and can be done through a process rather than migration. (promote B, remove A)

But like I said, I’m not an expert so I’m still learning.

B. Just migrate the salt, too. A server can have per-user salts, which may be migrated together with the hash.

If ever server has per-user salts, great. But that’s again a question for implementation. You’re making a huge assumption that’s how it works, and there’s no server dependent values. I mean even the hashing algorithm should be able to be proprietary be different between servers (At least that’s how I’d do it).

C. If you already have control over someone else’s account, what additional benefit does migrating serve?

Because control can be reverted, or limited. I mean if I can step to Bieber’s laptop when he’s in the bathroom, that’s not the same as having his login in and password… If lemmy.world sees someone has broken in and locks the account, or Bieber changes his password, your access is lost, where as if you migrate it, can lemmy.world revoke the migration? And if that’s the case, doesn’t that create some strange problems?

I’m not saying this is a bad idea, but I think you have to think more about the edge cases. Though this does have me now thinking about what’s the value of this migration?
