Why does it seem like fails?

A blog to call out fails and support others who call out fails. Oh, there will be some mocking of fails along the way. Maybe a few well thought out opinion posts will show up here.

I’m going to say it actually. It’s insane to call Israel genocidal for defending themselves against a terrorist group founded with the intent to kill Jews. Also insane to say you’re against genocide while advocating for the destruction of the country that houses half the Jews in the world.

Do you think the Jews in Israel will be allowed to stay in Palestine if Israel is dissolved? You’d do well to learn the history of what happens to Jews in Muslim countries.

I used to think Japan had the greatest PR campaign after WWII, essentially having their atrocities largely forgotten by the rest of the world, but now I think it is Hamas that has had the best PR run in history.

Fandom Problem #16,060:

How whenever an author/content creator/director/actor/musician/whatever turns out to be a bad person, some idiots suddenly try to use having not liked them or their work as proof that they were morally superior to their fans all along.

It's pretentious bullcrap.

Why would they be mad at this? Boycott every single Israeli product and institution, right? Why would they depend on Israeli banks if the hundreds of totally legit Gaza fundraisers online actively advertise links to PayPal, chuffed, and gofundme?

[imyourbadjew]

Israel provides many essential services to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, services that their own ruling organisations are too corrupt, incompetent and busy plotting to kill Jews to provide themselves.

the truth of the matter is that if BDS was actually fully carried out it would spell a death sentence for Palestinians. This seems to bother no one on the anti-Israel side.

life pro tip: if you happen to be considering purchasing an LG TV or monitor, you possibly want to pick something else! and if you have an LG monitor that has not been plugged into anything in a while, you might want to leave it that way!

if you already have an LG monitor or TV or intend to buy one, you probably want to watch this video and keep an eye on gamers nexus for updates (or anyone else covering the LG spying situation):

posted july 16 2026

LG is doing some bad things. how bad? well. here are some very brief bullet points. I am not an expert, gamers nexus is, see the video for more information than this:

LG monitors (brand new and years old, cheap and expensive) auto-install LG's own adware-spyware called LG Monitor App onto windows 10 and 11 computers. you plug in an LG monitor for video output and this gets installed automatically. no hitting OK, no confirmation, no toggles, NOTHING.

the auto-installed LG Monitor App auto-grants itself access to your internet connection and ALL computer resources. the LG Monitor App has the ability to collect: geolocation data, device data, personal information, online activity data, contact data, and more!

...and it shows pop-up ads! because fuck you

on some affected versions of windows, auto-installed shitware like the LG Monitor App can be prevented by navigating to gpedit.msc -> computer configuration -> administrative templates -> system -> device installation -> prevent automatic download of applications associated with metadata

...but, if your LG monitor already installed the LG Monitor App, this is like closing the barn door after the horse got out. and that horse has the logs of everything you were doing on your computer! someone stop that fucking horse!!!

unrelated to the LG Monitor App, many LG TV owners are now required to tell all household members and guests that their LG TV is recording and processing ALL nearby voices. or else they may be in violation of local eavesdropping and wiretapping laws. for owning a fucking LG TV.

plus, how many businesses, workplaces, public spaces use LG TVs?

allegedly the microphone spying can be turned off by disabling microphone features, but LG has been caught disregarding opt-out settings before.

LG TVs can record everything that happens on the TV, including the video output of connected devices like phones, computers, gaming consoles, anything that happens on the TV screen.

LG was sued for their spying, and as a result of that spying suit, now shows pop-ups saying oops! they got caught spying and intend to continue spying. thanks for buying LG!

as of when the video was posted, there was no list of every spying LG monitor or TV. but this stuff is getting rolled out to more and more LG devices, including those purchased years ago.

and that is the shortest summary I can make of this situation without just summarizing more of the gamers nexus video.

@gamersnexus.bsky.social

Update: We are working on a follow-up to the LG story and have some disturbing findings re: LG's products. It will take us a while to parse

⬆️posted july 23 2026

gamers nexus is fairly respected in technology journalism. they fly around the world investigating companies that fuck people over and have pressured major companies to make major changes over the years.

so for gamers nexus to say that this LG spying situation is both unprecedented in how uniquely bad it is in this era of spying, and that it gets even worse than their video where they already say to stop buying and using LG products while recanting every prior recommendation for LG products?

oooooofff

I found this post from Reddit that was on R/BestOfRedditorUpdates where the orginal poster got fired for making a joke about the company owner's disable daughter. The update from the orginal OP is why I am posting it here. The disabled daughter was in a car accident at young age. The car accident resulted in the mother's death. The daughter had sent OP a friend request, and that friend request revealed a lot about the father who owned the company.

A tl;dr is dad treats motor difficulties as a reflection of mental disabilities.

If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)

[nyxgoddessofcandles]

There's more to do actually, now

go to About:config find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999 find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999

additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm

also in about:config, find: media.encoder.webm.enabled media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled media.webm.enabled and toggle them all to false

note! this will limit video to 1080p

Disney keeps coming out with live action remakes, despite the flop that the previous 5 were and that everyone hates live action remakes.

Sony will revoke your Playstation purchases after 30 days of inactivity, is pushing for an all-digital console, and is trying to completely eradicate physical media. Which made them lose 60% of their userbase over the course of a month.

Every company ever is investing in AI and is trying to push AI onto everyone, despite the fact that it means they're operating at a severe loss and costs so much more money than it's worth (data centers are expensive to build, expensive to maintain, and expensive to power and cool), and the fact that no one fucking wants AI.

And whatever the fuck has been going on with Twitter the past several years since the Muskrat buyout.

Are they just... not reading the fucking data? Am I going insane for thinking that CEOs used to be 10x more competent than this? Yall are fast-tracking to bankruptcy, how is this beneficial to your company??

[emeraldmercury]

The answer is AI itself is doing the data analysis for these companies and we all know how prone to hallucination AI is…

One repeated refrain I keep seeing from the Pro-Palestinian crowd, from the most virulently Jew-hating to the most Jew-sympathetic, is pretty straightforward.

"Well, after 75 years of how the Palestinians have been treated, can you blame them for the 7/10 attack?"

And the response that I've been itching to give to that...

"So, you're saying that the Nakba was acceptable back in 1948? Because after 1000+ years of mistreatment by Muslim Arabs, including multiple massacres and ethnic cleansing in living memory, that means that the Jews were justified with the Nakba--indeed, they were restrained, because they could have easily done so much worse, and the Palestinians Arabs hadn't had any mistreatment yet at the hands of the Jews. There was a clear side who had been the victims (the Jews) and a clear side who had been the victimizers for over a thousand years, as the Muslims been the ones doing the mistreatment to the Jews. If you're saying that 75 years of marginalization justifies mass rape and murder, then the Israelis in 1948 would have been justified in killing every single proto-Palestinian Arab by that same metric.

"No? That's different? How? How is it different? Explain to me how it's different without using the word 'colonizer', because a vast number of the Jews who lived there were unquestionably native and had never been living elsewhere. Sure, they were just a portion of the Jewish population as a whole, but so are the Palestinian militants. Would someone whose family had been butchered in the 1929 Hebron Massacre not be justified in taking out their hate on other Arabs? Because that's the standard you're promoting now. How is it different?

"On what ethical grounds is it okay to say that the Palestinians deserve to get to rape and murder for 75 years of marginalization, and yet that the Jews simply displacing them but allowing them to continue living, sparing their lives after 1200+ years of brutal suppression... that act is somehow the most horrendous and monstrous act in the entire history of mankind, as some Pro-Palestinian activists have explicitly said?"

"Explain to me how 75 years of mistreatment justifies mass murder, but 1000+ years of legally recognized second-class brutal near-slavery doesn't justify displacement of your former oppressors."
