I am not suprised, yet still disappointed, that you continue to play semantics. But I suppose there isn't much else you can do when the goal is to defend the unconsciousable.
One day I hope you will think both more critically of the things you say and the stances you are forced to take in service of your views.
This is how war is fought. It is standard US doctrine, for instance
It is literally a war crime to do collective punishment. And I'm not sure why you would appeal to what the US does. My country is responsible for numerous atrocities, including genocide.
It says a lot about your ignorance of Hamas that you think they’re made up of “kids with rocks.” This isn’t 2014.
I... am honestly at a loss for words here. I don't think you realize how damming this thought process is. Of course it's not 2014, but Isreal has been killing Palestinian kids with rocks has been occurring since then (like srsly, this is recent history). But somehow this is "just a war"?
Restricting movement and controlling all facets of life in the strip has had obvious effects on the people being controlled. How exactly did we come to the point where Israel is at war with people they control? Where the water in Isreal is clean but the facilties in Gaza are polluted. What infrastructure can be built when Israel controls the imports to the area? What country can be formed when Isreal repeatedly annexs territory to their settlers? I wasn't referring to refugees being accepted to other countries, I am talking about the walls prevent people from leaving.
This isn't a war, but a trapped exploited people striking back at their oppressors. I'm not pleased about the violence, but it would be childish to tell these Palestinians to continue peaceful marches when they are killed in mass for doing so.
War is between two armies, so why is Isreal cutting off food, water and electricity to the entire population? Why can't the people of Gaza leave? Why does Isreal control every facet of life in the strip? Why does Isreal use tanks against kids with rocks?
It's not war when one side is trapped without basic utilities and the other is a well funded army.
This is the real answer. Arcade games weren't made to be beaten, they are made to extract maximum quarters. Most of these games don't even have a real "ending", and why would the devs bother? They already got your money.
But we aren't talking about cookie genocide from eating a box of oreos.
People without food, water or electricity are dying in mass to bombings from Isreal and your defending the action by saying it's not efficient enough to be a genocide. People are dying and you are playing word games.
Seriously. Stop, walk away and really think about what is important to you
And crafting a carefully targeted phishing email took a human team around 16 hours, they wrote, while ChatGPT took just minutes
This is significant because any person with the desire to scam can use ChatGPT from the comfort of their own home over lunch instead of hiring professionals for a few days.
"Well yes he is a bigot, but he might lower my taxes! I need to vote in my best interest! Not my problem if your marriage is annulled, bodily autonomy revoked and your Healthcare made illegal."
Well yeah, if someone does that tired "Found the vegan" joke in a thread in response to me, I can say "beat you to it". Idk, most people get it and I have gotten compliments before.
Still confused why you are calling me an asshole over it, but really. Idc. This whole thing seems trivial to be mad about.
When there’s stories about Cruise taxis stopping in an intersection and the response is an overwhelming flood of “ban all self-driving cars!”, it causes proponents to get overly defensive.
But the problem is those events are happening. People are wanting to strangle that baby because the kid is causing harm in the real world. The cars DO need to be taken off the streets, but that doesn't mean they should be outlawed. However, they absolutely are not fit for public service. As someone who has "driven" a Tesla while it was "Full Self Driving", and I gotta tell ya that it just can't handle the rules of the road. It's not better than a human. We can adapt to new situations on the fly, but a self driving car can only operate in certain parameters.
While I sympathize that there is nothing you can do about this, the real fault lies with the companies putting vehicles on the road before they are ready. Without a doubt, someday they will be. But as corporations push this out the door in the rush to be the first and the new name brand, they do so at the public expense. It's the root problem for the cycle of backlash, resentment and defensiveness.
I remember someone here chiding others for critizing Cruise. They were talking up the "fact" that the car stopped and let emergency services dictate what to do instead of risk harming her further. It was GOOD that the car stopped on her.
No matter what happens, anything or anywhere. There will always be people defending it. I wonder if that person is glad to hear the car heroically dragged her out of traffic?
My theroy on why judges are reticent to place him in jail for these violations simply comes down to not having a protocol for how the secret service would interact with prison staff.
Which isn't just or fair, it is however comprehensible. I'm sure this was brought up in a meeting and then laughed off for being far fetched.
But... lol...
Do it anyways. Get a special spot in history for instruction on how to detain former presidents.
