Yeah they really buried some critical information on this one. I get the point of the article about general surveillance but when people feel tricked they get burned out on the issue and trust the media less. They could have made the point they wanted without making it clickbait.

Could you pin a comment on the post for that first article that gives links to alternative articles? I don’t know if that’s possible on lemmy. But megathreads are annoying to me because they usually just have a list of articles that is overwhelming and it’s much easier to just read none of them. Plus it doesn’t interact well with continuing conversation once it falls off the front page.

If there were a way to remove posts from the feed (either everything/local/subscribed or the community+everywhere) without destroying the post itself it would be nice too because you wouldn’t be deleting conversations. Then you could pin the other conversations on the first one.

What the fuck

in 2020 in which female passengers were subjected to invasive gynecological examinations.

authorities were looking for the mother of a newborn baby found abandoned in a Hamad International Airport trash can

they were taken off the flight to Sydney at Doha at gunpoint by guards and were searched without consent.

Did I wake up 2,000 years ago or something? Am I still on earth?

Qatar was “surprised and shocked” that Australia had rejected without explanation its application for additional services to Sydney

Woooow. I literally don’t know what to say.

Haha yeah, it’s funny how many of the biggest decisions in life end up being made on the spur of the moment when you have to rather than after careful thought and deliberation. Or what seem like small moments that suddenly become much bigger that you never forget. I’m not sure if I’m making sense but at least I get what you’re saying! 😜

How did you identify the problem and get ComEd to look into it? My UPS is switching inconsistently, sometimes a couple times a day, and I’ve seen some signs that makes me think it’s not just that UPS/outlet/breaker. I wasn’t at the point where I was going to do anything yet but since you’re talking about the same provider I have I figured I’d ask. I have a multimeter, oscilloscope and smart plugs that watch voltage/amperage/power.

Haha I had that exact reaction when he was in the news a while back

This is a great description of nicotine addiction (I’m a vaper, but have smoked). I’d highly recommend anyone who’s considering it to not bother even if you’re impulsive and having a stressful time. Imagine adding another biological need like sleeping to your plate when after a few months all it’ll do for you is allow you to stop thinking about it for a bit. No more buzz. Just cravings and knowing where the exits are.

You do that manually? Wow that’s a lot of work. But I agree with the other commenter, turns out the reason I was hesitant to read the article on that other site was because the experience sucks. Thank you for making it so much easier.

The front fell off

Your kid is metal af

Yes but I thought I read somewhere that the shooter was confronted soon after (a couple hours?) which would be very fast to find and go through security footage. And yes about the gun, but that wouldn’t necessarily get them the motive and description of the suspect. It doesn’t really matter to me that much anyway, it was just an unknown aspect of a story I am interested in.

I agree, but with the amount of trolling some people do regarding LGBT stuff I wanted to be very clear I’m not one of them. Since every article is stating it as fact and not using “alleged” I assume the journalists know with some certainty, but I haven’t seen it detailed anywhere.

I’m not saying this to cast doubt on anything, I believe the reason given for the attack, I’m simply curious (probably because I used to be a first responder). One thing I haven’t seen explained in the articles I’ve read about this story is how do we know that he assaulted her for the flag and then shot her? Who called 911? How did they know who the suspect was?

The most plausible explanation to me is she was still alive when the cops got there but died before the paramedics were able to transport her, so she was able to tell them something, since no witnesses were mentioned. Second most plausible is there were witnesses.
