Israel destroys 11 homes in West Bank village amid spiralling violence ( www.theguardian.com )

Israeli soldiers have destroyed 11 homes and other structures in an isolated community in the occupied West Bank, leaving 50 people homeless, amid a reported uptick in house demolitions and spiralling violence in the Palestinian territory....

"Amid violence"

More like take note people, this is how you get laws you want.

I have a feeling abridged series are on average better than the originals.

It was kinda funny when lemmy was just taking in the reddit exodus crowd and people were complaining that their front page was full of German and Polish posts.

"Bent" is an old word for "crooked, fake". It's not a photography term, it's plain English, the guy's just too much of an asshole to clarify.

...I just realized latin doesn't have the "w" foreigner word.

I mean the Welsh/Waloon/Wallachian/waelsc word for "those people over there" that all the rest of Europe seems to have. It's not unheard of for neighboring people to call eachother 'vlach'. I just never noticed Latin doesn't have it.

...You know how basically all Indoeuropean languages have a word for Canis Lupus that sounds vaguely like "Ulku"? Ulv/Ulf/Wolf/Vlk/Vilks/Vuk/Loup/Lykos? Well, there's another word, walhaz that started off meaning "Celt", then "Roman", then generic "foreigner", and can be found today in exonyms all over Europe. It didn't occur to me that Latin wouldn't have had it, since they were the Vlachs in question.

There's also that both PRC and ROC claim the area. IIRC, Taiwan actually claims three extra dashes.

Appropriately for the thread, the WP scene had a choice: walk away. It kept telling Walker to walk away. The player could have shut the game off.

That's the pivot point: if you're just playing a game about Walker, then having a choice doesn't matter, you're just being told a story about a lunatic. But, if Walker is a stand-in for you, and you're playing the game "because you wanted to be something you're not - a hero", then not only is playing on a choice, choosing to play war porn in the first place is a choice.

You're doing the thing in the post.

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms ( www.theguardian.com )

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

I kinda wanna see Israel start weapons development with China. Just to see people lose their shit.

Aqarius ,

In development and science, sure. But this is a finished product on the market.

Aqarius ,

It's not cheaper, it costs me time.
