Would appreciate help working on the Hong Kong black bauhinia flag!!
Oh hey, I recognise you from previous lemmy.world football communities! We’re doing the Arsenal badge over at lemmy.world/c/gunners if you want to help get some sports rep in
oh god please no, one community is plenty XD
cat tax!!
If I were to properly manage a second community it would likely be the Hong Kong one that I already have moderator status on here first lol, but I have no intention of being a powermod XD
oh hello, yeah nah one community is enough for me lol. Also I’m honoured but I’m not the heart of the community lol, everyone contributes a good bit.
I read “brutish” as “british” on first glance
They’re literally both terrorists, I don’t know what to tell you. But even when killing civilians, there are rules that sometimes allow it according to proportionality rules (which I think Israel has violated). And of course the Israeli government actively wants to and are by the definitions of many committing genocide, which is way worse.
Unless you think that Hamas killing people at a music festival is somehow a valid military target, they’re terrorists. Just like how the IDF are terrorists for attacking Palestinian journalists and innocent family members.
The problem for me is that it’s not the first time that it’s happened. It’s definitely much less of a problem than Israel makes it out to be, but it is at the same time most certainly a problem. At the very least, the amount of people sympathetic to a literal terrorist organisation and attack (as revealed by the UN Watch of the existence of a Telegram group of 3000 UNRWA educators where talk switched between official business and antisemitism etc. https://twitter.com/hillelneuer/status/1746962851955191937) is too high.
Not to say the UN Watch isn’t itself biased (which it is), because of course everything has bias, but there have been quite many legitimate accusations that show that the UN does not have a good track record on this. And the UN does have an anti-Israel slant (though not as strong as the UN Watch’s pro-Israel slant)
I do think that the funding shouldn’t be cut. But again, this still does need to be solved, it’s an actual institutional problem. But I don’t have a solution.
No, terrorists are people who attack civilians as a war crime. Including actions from both the IDF and Hamas. And certain actions from US troops in various wars. But this is not the first account nor instance of UNRWA and its facilities being used in support of or directly for when Hamas does military action, which only endangers Palestinian civilians. If hospitals and schools etc. are indiscriminately used as war facilities, they become valid targets under international law, and thereby makes the civilians there much more at risk.
I mean, the UNRWA needs to stop hiring terrorists. Vetting needs to be done better. At the same time though, Palestinians do need the aid, desperately. It’s a mess of a situation.
yes they are, actually. Backwards compatibility is a huge thing in Windows, it’s why you can’t name files certain names such as CON, and why you can find things from 3.1 etc. still.
Cats are natural predators after all
They also specifically addressed this in the first movie with that guy that turned on them and unplugged people.
Edit: “that guy” being Cypher, just checked the name
Oh I agree, Freud’s work was important. As was Aristotle’s. But if Aristotle had suffered much of the scrutiny that Freud has, science would have advanced a lot faster. Obviously extremely unlikely though, given that Aristotle kinda predated science.
A lot of what he said was just plain wrong, and without the existence of the scientific method back then, no one really questioned him. For example, he basically made the only argument justifying slavery in ancient times, and he notably also got a lot of physics wrong that took until Galileo’s time to get resolved, such as with gravity and the elements.
If only people did that to Aristotle…
someday we’ll realise the entire universe is a massive supercomputer which runs doom
For some reason, thought this was loss for a second
Thanks everyone that helped!! I’ll be trying to individually PM each of you, but it’s kinda hard to check each pixel so i’m probably waiting for logs. Very much appreciate it, so, so, so, soooo much.
