    "Well if it was Trump they'd be using baseball bats. If you vote Biden in, we'll use runners next time"

    Altofaltception ,

    Is this racism, or are there genuine concerns (they took er jerbs?)

    Altofaltception ,

    Yes. But it's not like we're importing humans from other planets.

    get parents to actually be parents and teach their kids about the pitfalls of social media

    Also not possible

    I'm curious where crickets would fall on this scale.

    Altofaltception ,

    Are we going to completely ignore the absolute insanity of arresting someone for cheating on an exam.

    Israel phasing out use of desert detention camp after CNN investigation detailing abuses | CNN ( edition.cnn.com )

    Israel has transferred hundreds of Palestinian detainees out of the shadowy detention facility of Sde Teiman in Israel’s Negev desert, a state attorney told Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday during a first-ever hearing about the facility where prisoners from Gaza have allegedly been held under conditions of extreme abuse....

    Think about how much they got away with before the internet made it possible to scrutinize their activities.

    Put that into context of governments seeking to restrict access to information: the US ban on TikTok for instance.

    Altofaltception ,

    I mean we sold the Saudis weapons to bomb the Yemenis, so I'm just surprised we haven't been sending Israel weapons to bomb the Gazans.

    Altofaltception , (edited )

    Let's say they didn't have the vehicles. What would they arm them with?

    That's like saying we'll send the Israelis bombers but if they arm them with bombs, that's on them.

    You're being pedantic but it's a stupid argument to make.

    Altofaltception ,

    Bombers don't necessarily have to come with bombs. They could be used to dump water for example on a forest fire. The bombs are extra.

    Canadian Home Prices "Need" To Be High To Pay For Retirements: PM - Better Dwelling ( betterdwelling.com )

    Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions. A median household in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver would need to save over 20 years for just the down payment, more than 3x the historic average. Seems absurd? The outlandish scenario was apparently a...

    Altofaltception ,

    This is how I read his comment as well.

    Altofaltception ,

    It's really simple, I think. If you don't want to be accused of being a war criminal, don't commit war crimes.

    Altofaltception ,

    Well the women in this case were dead. So it was a man doing the accusing.

    Altofaltception ,

    What's the likelihood that this was an Israeli assassination?

    Altofaltception ,

    When did Israel act gentlemanly?

    Altofaltception ,

    Was it diplomatic to attack an embassy in another country?

    Altofaltception ,

    It's actually YOUR country that goes around the world assassinating people in their own lands.

    Oh I don't live in the US.

    Altofaltception ,

    Ah yes that moment when we're reminded that it's only okay for the US and its allies to conduct military and naval drills.

    Altofaltception ,

    It's not that it's unsafe to drive in Detroit due to crime, it's just that the automotive industry lobbied hard to make the country car friendly, and that city faced the worst of it.

    Altofaltception ,

    Oh don't worry, Israel will be getting more bombs from the US so they can continue with their regularly scheduled, more efficient genocide campaign carried out by bombing. They won't have to resort to these inconvenient methods of genocide.

    Altofaltception ,

    Had to get the pain and suffering out first.

    Altofaltception ,

    In the most dangerous way. This virus currently has a 50% kill rate when it infects humans.

    Altofaltception ,

    But in the hours before the ruling protesters cut down the structure by sawing through its legs.

    (Emphasis mine). There had been years of debate around whether this statue should come down or not. If there was a chance it could go the other way, those protestors eliminated it.

    Altofaltception ,

    I mean there's probably a nonzero percentage of the population that will struggle with this question too.

    Altofaltception ,

    Perhaps the AI is smarter in this case for answering based on learned history.

    You forget for example that there's an overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest bears.

    Altofaltception ,

    Buried in a small paragraph:

    Seinfeld's commencement speech at Duke also drew public attention when anti-war protesters walked out of the ceremony and booed from the audience when the TV star took the podium, according to NBC News and CBS News.

    Altofaltception ,

    Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism.

    Jerry Seinfeld has come out in support of Israel.

    Altofaltception ,

    You asked whether it was about his religion, implying it was antisemitism at play.

    Altofaltception ,

    Something something free market

    Altofaltception ,

    Yes, but then the more people can afford to buy EVs. Under the current system you need to be well off to buy one, vs an ICE.

    Altofaltception ,

    Are the VPNs not secure?

    Dharamsal

    Isn't that where the Dalai Lama lives?

    Altofaltception , (edited )

    Reminder that the Tories have had 2 Prime Ministers in power without holding an election.

    Edited to clarify: yes there have been 3 PMs since 2019, but 2 of them were not elected.

    Altofaltception ,

    In hindsight I could have phrased it better, but I meant PMs who were elected.

    Boris Johnson was elected in 2019.

    Liz Truss replaced him but was not elected. Rishi Sunak replaced her and was also not elected.

    Altofaltception ,

    Liz Truss. I meant PMs who were elected.

    Altofaltception ,

    Playing musical chairs is not a typical move.

    Altofaltception ,

    Thing is, life will find a way to survive despite our best efforts. We've seen mass extinctions before. Whether the human species survives is another matter.

    Altofaltception ,

    Germany feels so much guilt about perpetuating one Holocaust that it is preventing information about another Holocaust from getting out.

    Altofaltception ,

    I'm pretty sure he's going to roll back just about everything Biden has done.

    Funny how we accept that it takes 4 years for Biden to roll back Trump's nonsense one at a time but we expect Trump to roll back every single thing Biden's has done right away.

    Altofaltception ,

    So nothing.

    Altofaltception ,

    This is interesting.

    What happens if a country's leader is labeled a war criminal, but the US and its allies refuse to sanction it?

    There have been multiple instances where Israel's allies have refused to vote against it at the UN, and if that doesn't make a difference, the US has vetoed any vote.

    Altofaltception ,

    I'm with you.

    Altofaltception ,

    Al-Bursh was also remembered for his efforts during the Great March of Return in 2018-19, when he performed over 28 surgeries in one day on Palestinians injured by Israeli fire.

    2018? I thought this all started on October 7.

    /S

    Altofaltception ,

    As long as we're replacing them faster than they can leave, right? /S

    Altofaltception ,

    I don't think even the Israelis are denying that children are dying as a result of their actions.

    The Israelis are marking the deaths as due to collateral damage or putting the blame on the Palestinians for not condemning Hamas and/or giving them up.

    Altofaltception ,

    The war criminals said what?

    Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established ( apnews.com )

    A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    Altofaltception ,

    Don't let facts get in your way:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election

    International observers noted that the elections, for the most part, were conducted fairly and in accordance with international standards.

    There were some reports of voter obstruction - caused by Israel.

    Altofaltception ,

    Hamas ran in the 2006 election under a completely different name, in an effort to demonstrate that they can in fact separate themselves from their militant faction.

    Remember, Israel also had its origins in armed struggle (against the British).

    Edit: although this is probably Israeli projection, given that the armed factions did become the Israeli military. And we all know what they're up to.
