It’s not. That’s an Israeli propaganda push, not reality.

What Israel is doing is unconscionable, and has been rightly identified as genocide.

Don’t let anyone call you antisemitic for saying that. You have said nothing about Jewish people, you have only said that a nation is committing war crimes, which is plain as day.

Bad people with money in developed nations use that money to radicalize and direct people in less developed nations. 🤷‍♂️

bits and pieces and … bita and pieces and …

We are all just fighting entropy for a while. How you got into the alive club? That shit don’t matter. You’re here. You’re one of us. You don’t need a permission slip.

I would have believed you a few years ago.

At this point I think Putin has to have serious doubts that he could use a nuke and have it actually work. He’s up against both western tech and his own corruption.

China has a different flavor? 🤷‍♂️

Think maybe as humans we just forgot how to build houses or something.

FWIW, there’s a reason I prefer mbin instances.

I feel like some amount of variation among fediverse software is exactly how we should try to suss all this out.

I just vote to keep comment sections for humans.

(I realize I can block and I do and I will, still want to shout my opinion into the storm for a second.)

Comment sections are for comments.

This is the fediverse. I feel like these kinds of bots should be emitting something other than a comment, just a generic “metadata” might be good. Then work to get that adopted by the various platforms.

Because comment sections should be a place for people.

He does not.

As wild as this timeline is, let’s remember it could be worse. Vote. Care for your friends and family. Keep trying to make the world a little better.

Article II Section 3 says the president shall take care to execute the laws faithfully. I do not see how a president could issue an official illegal order.

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

…

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency’s smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

☝️ an excellent breakdown of the actual situation.

Literally first search result.

What’s wrong with you?

Sounds like you work for business people. Find a company run by engineers.

You’re right, my fault. Thanks!

Hello, I am now confused. Can someone link me the song being discussed because I think I only know the US opening?

I’ll say that this reaction does nothing to make me think you are approaching this with any objectivity.

The argument, to me, seems to be that it’s impossible in the modern world as things stand to actually totally avoid animal products. That would seem like an issue that Veganism should be concerned with.

I see your point, I think, about it being an individual choice. But though I have heard of things like vegan shoes, I can see how saying those are vegan when you may not control all the inputs seems problematic.

Regardless, your response was so unpleasant that I don’t think I’m much interested in continuing.

Can you explain what’s wrong with this argument? As a relatively disinterested observer it seems reasonable to me.

We need to trust such a country to be judicious in their use of force, to not engage in any unnecessary conflict that puts both they and their allies at risk, and we want that country to be stable and share our values.

Israel is not demonstrating these qualities, at least not now.

Given that, why should we continue our support?

he’s got bees! no bees! <takedown>

… they don’t allow you to have bees in here.
