You know what this means though? It means that no one ever needed to push back against it at all just not engage in it themselves. Cuz they just eat each other in a vacuum. Without some enemy to band together against like the boogeyman of boogeymen whitey, their inner chaos is all they're left with with no enemy to project it on, so they eat each other and everything just crashes and falls apart. No one needed to do anything, not even complain, just look at it in amusement and take another sip of their coffee and go about their day thanking god that's not you.
Israel is betting on the long haul, to keep the genocide going until people get tired of protesting and give up. and apparently they have won. there are less and less reactions to Israel's genocide around the world as their atrocities drag on.
Horrific, not only is it a vertically shot video, but it's also got bars on the side of it. The least shocking thing here is the IDF human rights abuses.
The Israeli military says its soldiers violated orders and failed to meet the values of the country’s defence force when they drove with a wounded Palestinian tied to the front of their vehicle.
Video showed a wounded local man, Mujahed Azmi, lying on the bonnet of a jeep as it drives past two ambulances in Jenin.
News agency Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video from verified footage shared on social media that shows the same vehicle transporting an individual on top in Jenin.
The incident recalled scenes in the Second Intifada, when Israeli troops were criticised for tying Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, to the front of an army vehicle.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation in the occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, called the incident an example of "human shielding in action".
The IDF was banned from using Palestinians as human shields by the Israeli Supreme Court, but has been accused of using the practice multiple times since, the Guardian reports.

yes; as far as i'm aware there has never been a mass-death event like this in the contemporary history of the Hajj, although it's always been arduous and more potentially deadly when it falls during the summer
Jesus! (Or Isa?) Some of these were like single localised events. I was just thinking about how many people come through without even bringing that into it.
Well, I guess a casual disregard for the life and limb of non-elite non-Saudis is pretty on brand for them.

I know, but not paying to begin with created the incentive to have such an infrastructure to spy on people, even if these people decide to pay. And I am not saying it's users' fault.
The thing is, now that the game changed with machine learning techniques, there’s 0 incentive not to use it regardless of what previous deals existed in the past.
Google promised to be carbon free by 2030.... Just as other have done and never even moved an inch towards that goal
The point is exactly to get gullible people like you to think it's all good until 2030 when some responsible people will battle to out that Google did nothing in reality to get there... Then they'll promise it again for 2050
Sorry I was a little wrong. Apparently 100% of Googles annual electricity consumption is matched with renewable energy that is supplied back to the grid. So basically, at night when there is no sun they use power from the grid and during the day they compensate it with excess renewable energy production.
It's not 100% carbon neutral. But it doesn't sound that bad either. There is worse things than that.

Not even... what they do is "pay" someone for renewable energy (not the energy they consume, nor do they produce energy on solar panels or anything renewable to go back into the grid)
This is their own statement: "In 2022 – for the sixth consecutive year – Google matched 100 percent of its global annual electricity consumption with purchases of renewable energy" (source)[https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/cleanenergy/]
And even that is not true since their actual report says that in 2021 they barely made it to 66%
Globally, 66% of the electricity use at Google data centers was matched with carbon-
free energy on an hourly basis, 5% higher in 2019 but 1% lower in 2020. We expected
this fluctuation: in 2020, we brought a large number of CFE projects online, leading to a
large jump in our 2020 CFE % and thus a high baseline for calculating changes between
2020 and 2021

So, in a nutshell... they are throwing some money at it and pretending they are not polluting anymore.
It’s not 100% carbon neutral.
Google declared itself carbon neutral (whatever they think that means) back in 2007
But they are not even using said energy themselves.... that is like throwing my garbage right on the street but paying someone in India to pick some garbage over there (for at lot less)... if you are my neighbour, would you think it's fine?
I don't need google "producing" clean energy... I want them CONSUMING clean energy... as it is, they are pollution just as much as ever (more every year) but they pretend to be clean by throwing money at it... at the end of the day, the planet keeps getting polluted and the climate nicely on its way to cooking us alive
