  • Chinese tourists spark backlash in Seoul over ‘military-style’ march at Han River park

    Jump

  • Tourism. You go to a location to see and enjoy their culture, history, and people. Respectfully. This is some kind of coordinated assault in a land foreign to them. I don’t think they’re tourists. They are there for other motives. Arrest them and charge them as an invasion of a foreign country.

  • Extradition and deportation are kind of opposites

    Jump

  • It’s all bout the intent, but in both cases the person is no longer the problem of the host country, and the person is exiled.

  • British public wrong about nearly everything, survey shows

    Jump

  • Wrong or right the government should work for the people, so the government should do their job which is the will of the people. If the people are truly wrong maybe the media or something is misinforming them and the authorities should prove the culprit is lying to them. But gaslighting seems like mission of the day.

  • Lesbian comedian who performed in Saudi Arabia apologizes

    Jump

  • You say betrayed. I say she went out there in a place she would be put to death for just being who she is and did her job. She got paid for it and she gave it all away. You’re just angry because you believe in this bullshit cancel culture where we don’t associate with people who believe differently than us. You want to cut them off and exile them. I think it’s better to show them we’re all the same and there’s nothing wrong with being gay. If she made a single person laugh then she’s doing good work.

  • Lesbian comedian who performed in Saudi Arabia apologizes

    Jump

  • Kirson in her statement to THR said she “donated the entirety of what I was paid to perform there to a human rights organization.”

  • Lesbian comedian who performed in Saudi Arabia apologizes

    Jump

  • It’s a damn shame the saudis got some lesbian representation for all of the Lesbian and Gay people living over there in fear. They need it the most and their own government was willing to pay her for it. You short sighted fucks decided to shame her for doing her job in a place that it was very dangerous to do it. This was a net positive, but now you’ve got her afraid and apologizing for bringing western comedy and culture over there. Internet people make me sick. It seems like no one actually read the article.

  • Must my Jellyfin server be able to transcode AV1 videos?

    Jump

  • If you never plan to use a device requiring transcoding for AV1 you’ll be fine. You are building for your needs. If you’re like me and you have various family and friends on your server using whatever streaming hardware they can find. Then you may want to account for other scenarios. Playing tech support at 10pm on a Friday for a 60 year old luddite sucks, so I just need it to work for them.

  • Jimmy Kimmel's show to return to air after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments, says Disney

    Jump

  • Sept 17th.

    Nexstar and Sinclair television station owners condem Kimmel’s statements. They planned to preempt his show replacing it with other programming.

    Nexstar ABC Affiliates To Preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Indefinitely Beginning Tonight

    Media giants Nexstar and Sinclair own hundreds of local TV stations, highlighting the significant influence affiliate owners wield over national broadcasters like Disney-owned ABC.

    ABC decides to suspend Kimmel’s show indefinitely due to the backlash.

    Here is the question. If ABC/Disney reinstate his show, will Nexstar or Sinclair follow through on their promise to preempt his show when it airs effectively killing any ad revenue?

    Edit addendum: Sinclair Will Not Air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Upon ABC Return Tuesday

    That’s gonna make it hard to sell ad space on the next upfronts.

    China is eating the world

    Jump

  • It's wild how many people still think of China as the place that makes cheap crap. This perception is frozen somewhere in the 2000s.

    This motherfucker has never bought anything of of Amazon, alibaba, or temu.

    I’ll concede that china may make some quality products, but I doubt they’re exporting them through the mass channels.

    Parents should have their children's consent before letting a new adult move into the house.

    Jump

  • Good parents take care of their children, and provide a safe home to live in; however the children do not have an ultimate say. A good parent would have a discussion to explain the situation and also be sure the person moving in is safe to have around the children they’re responsible for, but ultimately the grownups pay the bills, put clothes on the children’s backs, and put food on the table. If the child feels entitled to an equal share vote in the household decisions then expectations should be managed.

  • We shoild stop calling tourist or commercial space flights "missions".

    Jump

  • history of the word mission

    mission(n.) 1590s, "a sending abroad" (as an agent)

    …

    General sense of "that for which one is sent or commissioned" is from 1670s; meaning "that for which a person or thing is destined" (as in man on a mission, one's mission in life) is by 1805.

    Meaning "dispatch of an aircraft on a military operation" (by 1929, American English)

    was extended to spacecraft flights (1962), hence, mission control "team on the ground responsible for directing a spacecraft and its crew" (1964).

  • Dutch cop tasers black man after failing to throw him on the ground

    Jump

  • No context given for this encounter.

    Officer wanted to subdue suspect for (again, no context given, so we will say killing a puppy)

    Suspect resisted arrest.

    Officer could not subdue suspect due to lack of training or lack of strength.

    Officer escalated to non-leathal force to subdue suspect. A taser.

    Both are still alive.

    Assume suspect is in custody and lives to fight in court.

    /s Yeah… Fuck the police /s
