I 100% condemn attacks on non-military targets like that. I’m not trying to carry water for Israel. I just won’t excuse Hamas, either.

There are no good guys in this. It’s a horrible, intractable situation. And make no mistake, it’s Israel’s fault, due to their illegal occupation. I won’t even remotely defend that. But that doesn’t make any of this OK.

kescusay , 10 months ago to world in Hundreds dead in Israel and Gaza, thousands injured after Hamas launches rockets, Israel declares war

You’re missing the point. Hamas brutally oppresses its own people, as does Israel’s goverment. This is a predictably violent response from a violent group in retaliation against another violent group, and innocent people in both countries who just want to live their lives will suffer for it.

There are no good guys here. Israel is ultimately at fault for its treatment of Palestine, but that doesn’t excuse Hamas tactics of executing civilians in their homes - tactics that will not work and will not bring anyone to their side.

This is going to be a long, shitty time for a lot of people and nothing will be solved. And that fucking sucks.

This is awful, and there are no good sides to it. Hamas are terrorists, and the Israeli government’s actions have made this kind of thing inevitable.

A lot of innocent people on both sides will die, nothing will get resolved, and both sides will continue to do horrible things to each other.

This sucks.

You really, really don’t need an AI assistant for regular computer usage. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

There are genuinely good reasons to use GitHub Copilot if you’re a developer, but otherwise, I think they’re way more trouble than they’re worth.

Schrodinger’s sanctions. They’re simultaneously completely ineffective and a devastating attack on the Russian people.

Hence the need for this community!

kescusay , 11 months ago to news in The Trump administration touted him as a victim of MeToo. Now he’s accused of dismembering a girlfriend

Yeah, those are the worst. I’m like, “Look, I’m a news-interested person, and I want to know about this guy. Just give me a headline that interests me without it seeming like you’re trying to trick me.”

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, that’s horrifying. If Disney’s at fault, she deserves all the money for that.

kescusay , 11 months ago to news in The Trump administration touted him as a victim of MeToo. Now he’s accused of dismembering a girlfriend

It’s just a somewhat poorly-written headline. It’s about a guy - not Trump - who was supposedly victimized by the Me Too movement. And all-too-predictably, it turns out the guy - not Trump - is probably a psychotic murderer. Because that’s the sort of guy Trump likes.

Get fucked, Donny. Watch your criminal empire crumble to dust.

Okay-dokay. That’s fine. Fuck mods and all that. But you are on world, when you’re using this community. Which is hosted on world.

You’ve said your piece, I’ve said mine. No reason we can’t part as friends here, as long as you’re not espousing violence.

kescusay , 11 months ago to nottheonion in YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him

Okay, let me be more blunt: Since I don’t want this community, which I mod, to be endangered by becoming a cesspool of support for violence, I will wield the ban-hammer for the very first time to prevent that from happening if I have to.

I don’t want to, and so far, I don’t think I need to, because just reminding people about Lemmy.world’s rules seems like enough. I intend to mod very lightly, and limit myself to stepping in with reminders and warnings (like this one) as much as possible. This is a fun, light-hearted community, and I want to keep it that way.

But it’s not the sidebar saying this now, it’s me, the guy who volunteered to mod here and wants this community to thrive: Please don’t push on this. Keep it fun.

kescusay , 11 months ago to nottheonion in YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him

Agreed, it sucks all around.

kescusay , 11 months ago to nottheonion in YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him

Sure, no argument there.

I’d rather at least try to rehabilitate a guy like him into a valuable member of society.
