Does this mean there are new open positions at Google?

locke ,

Well, I probably cannot get in there anyway so it’s a bit moot. Plus it would mean a major relocation. But yeah, I’d happily work on an Israel contract.

locke ,

Are you trying to be funny?

locke ,

In a 100% offensive war. Sadly, Russia can take the loss of people, so these zergling tactics can still continue pretty far into the future.

locke ,

I’m in fact implying (not very clearly, admittedly) that Russia has had no defensive wars after 45.

locke ,

How about blaming whoever came up with that dumb idea? Did they watch the “Homer designs a car” episode of Simpons and thought it was a good idea?

April 20. 4/20. Rriight. I wonder whose idea that was.

U.S.: Lawmakers accuse national media network of "whitewashing genocide” against the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in China's Xinjiang region (chinamediaproject.org)

In its home market, the Discovery Channel has earned a reputation for never letting reality get in the way of a good story. Once home to respected wildlife documentaries and science specials, the network is better known these days for such colorful titles as Naked and Afraid, Deadliest Catch, American Chopper, and, of course,...

locke ,

Read up on lemmygrad and you’ll learn that Uyghurs are being treated better than any other group of humans on this planet and west is to be blamed for everything else too.

locke OP ,

Why not both, though? In fact, China could also send weapons to help Ukraine.

locke ,

Were they soldiers of Hamas or civilians who happened to be directly related to the leader?

locke , (edited )

IDF seems to be claiming that the children (not grandchildren, the ones aged 10, 8 and 4) would have been Hamas military operatives. That would make sense, given their father.

In my opinion, that would make these collateral deaths, not “butchering”.

locke ,

I mean if my father was the head of a rebel resistance movement, I think it would increase the odds of me being part of the same movement.

locke ,

Of course I have no evidence. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you also have no evidence that they were not?

locke , (edited )

Okay very cool so you endorse wiping out entire families because of one person?

Do I?

We know that our species has the ability to deteriorate circumstances so badly that violence ensues. In many cases, there’s no obvious objective single perpetrator – things just deteriorate slowly to a place where nothing sane can be done to fix it. Israel vs Palestine is an obvious example of this happening.

Realizing this fact doesn’t mean that one supports it or any of the steps that were taken to end up in that situation. I may have the opinion that I would rather see Israel win this thing, but it’s not like I think that that would be an absolutely great thing. Just a less shitty thing than any other realistic option that I can see.

I understand that this means that I indirectly support deaths of people who deserve to die, but also of people who don’t deserve to die. But now that we’re here, there’s no path in which that doesn’t happen.

locke ,

Perhaps you misread me or the article. The sons were not underage. I mean… they had children of their own. Did IDF know the underaged grandchildren were travelling with them? I have no idea.

locke ,

Yep. Very different. End result is of course the same, but so is the end result of a fatal aneurysm.

locke ,

My position is no, none, collateral murder of kids is fucking wrong no matter who does it. What the fuck is your position?

Obviously. What is the point of stating this banality, this easiest positions of them all?

locke ,

No, but it does make it not-murder.

locke ,

None for otherwise.

A ceasefire may allow Hamas to regroup and survive, which would be a bad thing. Then again, from my couch it seems like IDF is not about to destroy Hamas completely with this war.

locke ,

Your wife is probably a secret Kakoune wizard and recognizes that your skills are decadent.

Ukraine embraces far-right Russian ‘bad guy’ to take the battle to Putin (www.politico.eu)

Kapustin is indeed dressed in black for his discussion with POLITICO in a downtown Kyiv hotel — though his clothing is free of any neo-Nazi logos or flashes. That’s despite the fact he runs a far-right apparel line of T-shirts and caps emblazoned with white nationalist and xenophobic imagery as well as the Nazi symbol 88 —...

locke , (edited )

That sucks but doesn’t really counter the larger point that Russia should gtfo from Ukraine. Especially when Russia is also using nazi individuals and Russia is fully into nazi-style propaganda, while amusingly at the same time blatantly lying about being anti-nazi.

Lol @ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Kapustin_(militant) – “former football hooligan”. Well, you have to give it to him for employing his natural skillset toward at least some sort of good things.

locke ,

Slotted is absolute shit. Philips is acceptable if you must live in the 1900s.

Torx all the way. Every other type should be illegal and punishable by death of perpetrator’s extended family.

locke OP ,

… but it ended pretty well.

locke , (edited )

They can be used as warheads for precision-guided bombs, though. No idea if Israel is gonna do that.

locke ,

That might be, but at least it hits what it’s aimed at instead of just lobbing them out there blindly.

You have been in this council for 9 years and we will grant you the rank of master.

locke ,

Time to start drinking copper

locke ,

!btw

locke OP ,

The point is that Palestine has a history of exaggerating and straight-up lying about Israel’s “atrocities” in an attempt to control its own population. All the way from 1948.

JPost could be slanted, but so was the Al-Jazeera article. Should we also ban all articles from them? Also The Guardian reports only pro-Palestinian stances. Should they be banned?

Or perhaps should we accept that news papers have positions.

locke OP ,

Well, at least you’re consistent.

locke OP ,

Which makes tye problem worse. For many people, the default reaction to strong resistance is to double down in one’s own beliefs.

I’ve been watching TOS and Spock is in an autistic psychosis like in every fifth episode. “Best first officer in starfleet”

U.S. Doubles Down on Defunding UNRWA — Despite Flimsy Allegations (theintercept.com)

The U.S. government will defund the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians through next year — even as 1.1 million people in Gaza face threats of famine in coming months — on the basis of flimsy allegations by Israel against a tiny minority of the agency’s staff that have yet to be proven....

locke ,

Yeah, even Finland’s alt-right minister restored the funding.

locke ,

I guess there’s no way of knowing if the people captured actually did it.

locke ,

Drones don’t spawn in air in real life, dude. So no, it’s not raw foorage.

locke ,

The complete unchanged footage. What do you think it means?

locke ,

Are you going to discredit footage shot from a video camera because “video cameras don’t spawn in air in real life, dude”?

I deem it questionable based on that. The internet is full of videos that are cut conveniently or shown without context in order to paint a dishonest picture.

locke ,

That doesn’t quite track with this footage, unless the drone is Palestinian.

locke ,

Yeah I’m definitely not gonna donate money to people who are publically and proudly communists.

I might donate to my local instance though. They seem like cool cats.

locke ,

Communists are people who live on a commune.

That’s perhaps not a commonly(hah) agreed definition of the word.

locke ,

Nothing wrong with being a communist.

That’s debatable.

Being a tankie on the other hand… Fuck them

This is not.

locke ,

Middle management is probably not having fun but the higher leaders of Hamas got exactly what they wanted.

locke , (edited )

I don’t claim to know what their ultimate strategy is but it would seem that

Provoke Israel into overreacting

is a central part of it. And that part worked.

But I guess the plan could be

  1. Provoke Israel
  2. ???
  3. Paradise!

Russia says 60 dead, 145 injured in concert hall raid; Islamic State group claims responsibility (apnews.com)

Assailants burst into a large concert hall in Moscow on Friday and sprayed the crowd with gunfire, killing over 60 people, injuring more than 100 and setting fire to the venue in a brazen attack just days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide....

locke ,

I feel like I need to remind you that Putin publically ignored a public warning about it.

Also, FSB is now blaming Ukraine.

Every inch of this smells like another 1999.

locke ,

This is quite acceptable.
