registrert, in What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

An Ouija-phone, seeing they’re all dead.

Jokes aside, Doro has a range of reasonably priced phones, from old style to Android smartphones, with “Old people interface” available to cut down on the techno fluff old folks likely won’t use. 3/4 grandparents were able to operate them, can recommend.

snek, (edited ) in Why is *all* of Lemmy filled with Anti Israel content?
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

#;dr Because Israel is breaking international law.

Are you stalking my profile now lol?

Maybe. Why? Does it bother you if people call out Israel?

Not really, there's a lot of propoganda online so it's completely understandable to me

I do find it concerning tho when a person first says that I should stop saying "bullshit" and then goes on as far to stalk my profile for my past posts

Well, in my defence, a lot of what you are saying IS bullshit.

I had a look into it and have to say: you got a point. OP still has to learn some things, but where’s life there is hope.

It’s funny because in the post they said that anti Israeli content bothers them, but they claim it doesn’t. I think it bothers them a lot. But what should bother them more is apartheid in Israel and genocide in the name of the Jewish people.

dustyData, in Do Israeli Politicians' adult children get conscripted just like the average adult Israeli citizen as part of mandatory service?

The assumption that direct familial involvement would make people more peaceful or make them take more ethical decisions is flat out incorrect. If anything it will make them more ruthless and dehumanizing against the “other” and seek even faster ways of total annihilation rather than difficult nuanced and diplomatic peaceful solutions. The military mindset is a very rigid one, with only rights and wrongs, blind obedience, the only nuance allowed is tactical nuance, the only complexity allowed is logistic complexity. Morally and ethically it’s always down to I’d rather the other die than me. The IDF once traded 1000 prisoners for 1 IDF soldier, what makes you think they will not kill 10000 children if it means it saves 1 soldier?

CerealKiller01,

The IDF once traded 1000 prisoners for 1 IDF soldier, what makes you think they will not kill 10000 children if it means it saves 1 soldier?

Because… the moral considerations in both cases are completely different…? How is this even a question?

That’s like saying “He once bought a car for $50,000, what makes you think he won’t steal $500,000 if it meant getting a Tesla?”

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Vieš o nejakej slovenskej inštácii alebo komunite? Občas pozerám českú inštáciu kyberpunk.social a mám tam aj komunitu !DeepWebCZ, ale kvôli obmedzenej federácii nie je veľa vhodná pre hlavný účet, aj keď má zo všetkých Lemmy serverov najkratšiu dobu odezvy.
(Ako sa ti páči moj pokus o slovenčinu?)

TheBlue22,

Dosť fajn slovenčina, jedine “veľa” by som vymenil za “moc” a “odezvy” za “odozvy”

Ale inak neviem o žiadnej slovenskej inštancii alebo komunite :/, pravdupovediac som sa ani moc po nich nepozeral.

LogicialSlip, in What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

Any iPhone (I’ve had one since the OG). This way I can remote troubleshoot because I’m so familiar with iOS.

gingernate,

You’re going to remote diag this guys grandparents phone? Lol just kidding

Globulart, in What gifts are you getting for your friends and family members?

Socks, fucking shit loads of socks, I had 42 pairs arrive the other day. I have a weird thing for socks (no not like that) and have bought everyone a pack of my favourite socks that don’t seem to ever die (I have a 12year old pack that are still in great condition despite wearing them regularly).

Everyone gets a 5pack of my favourite, 1 pair of merino wool socks, and a box of sweets or chocolate depending on their taste.

Except for the children, they get toys and games too.

It’s clichéd as fuck, but made my life easier and we all prefer focusing on the kids as it’s their day really.

Twitchy1,

I too am an avid sock wearer…

iheartneopets,

Omg I would love a gift like that! What is this mythical brand of socks?

Globulart,

It’s ueither but specifically ueither with horizontal patterns, any intricate designs don’t last as long.

I bought a pack of 5 while at uni in 2011 and they’re still going strong today, I have 10 others since then which are as good, but the one time I bought picture designs rather than straightforward stripes they lasted maybe 3-4 years, which still isn’t horrible tbf.

There’s nothing particularly special about them, they’re 80% cotton, 17% polyester, 3% elastane. They just seem to last forever and feel great.

iheartneopets,

Awesome, thank you for the recommendations and the heads up! I’ll definitely have to try some. Lately all my socks have been springing holes, so I’m excited to try some more durable ones

MooDib,

I just googled them and the first thing that pops up is their Amazon page saying they are a clothing company founded in 2016…

Globulart, (edited )

Potentially acquired the company I bought the first socks from at some point then. I found the exact socks I’d bought years later and ordered more pairs, might just be idemtical patterns and still good quality but the first set I had were definitely at university, which I graduated in 2012.

Cexcells,

Check out Darn Tough. Life time warranty

burliman, in What is the point of small instances?

When cars first started being mass produced it wasn’t just Ford doing it. There were like 50 manufacturers, big and small.
