Served. Absolutely served.

We have a deterrent. It's called being the UK. It's not working.

Mate. I know what genocide means. It's not murder or slaughter, as bad as they are, it's:

the deliberate and organized destruction of a racial or ethnic group, either in whole or in large part, by a government or its agents.

Stray bullets and shrapnel? TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DEAD, you fuck. One in TEN Palestinians in Gaza have been murdered by the Israeli state.

It's you who is being judged for your support of genocidal monsters. I'm not on here arguing for Hamas. Fuck Hamas. You are on here arguing for Israel.

No they didn't. They committed atrocious war crimes, but not genocide. Israel committed genocide.

There's no both sides to this, only the oppressor, Israel, creating an environment where Hamas is inévitable.

If you really cared about Palestinians you'd stop dropping tower blocks on their children.

With all the good will in the world, my friend, you need to look up the definitions of genocide. Pursuing a population to exterminate then is NOT a prerequisite for genocide.

Israel's "attempt to destroy Hamas" has killed tens of thousands of children. Stop apologising for genocide. You cunt.

What the fuck did I just listen to

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not popping out of some vaguely Numenorian bint's uterus!

Punk drumming goes so hard. It doesn't get enough credit. If you can do Dude Ranch with no pauses then you'll have earned my respect!

As a guitarist this has inspired my new exercise regimen:

• Switch Fitbit to right arm
• Play more NOFX riffs

Ooh the Nazis are threatening to break away? Oh no! Whatever will we do without them?!
Fuck them. They can break away and start their own little fourth Reich, which will be a pariah forever. In fact, that's even better - all the fascists can go to the same geographical location so we can deal with them surgically.

Bro definitely really wants to kiss himself on the cheek

The above comment is more applicable to itself than to the comment to which it refers, weirdly. It's a sort of extra-ironic, self unaware recursion.
Edit: your edit doesn't fix anything. You claim the outrage is over nothing. I then explain what I think the outrage is over, you then claim that my explanation is somehow unrelated. You then edit, saying that people shouldn't be outraged, because of an opinion you have. I'm getting an aggressive vibe from the way you are writing, so maybe it's better not to engage with you, but at the same time I'm curious why this fairly dry, non divisive topic has you so vehement.

It seems the outrage is over this part:

the public that pays for the American government agency – because of a deal with a private insurance risk firm.

Which is, on the face of it, outrageous. American public pays for the modelling but isn't allowed to benefit from it because an insurance company wants to keep the data secret.

This reads like a LinkedIn comment honestly

Didn't they throw it at a protective barrier, though? So zero potential of damaging the art?
Throwing soup at an oil exec is assault on a human being and would be worse, ethically, because human beings have sensory apparatuses and, presumably at least some level of emotion.
If you punched someone in the mouth because they threw soup at a protective plastic barrier in a museum, then it is you who would be the "utter cunt".

It's not a productive discussion that's needed though. The death penalty has been going on for four centuries in the US. That's an awful lot of time for an awful lot of productive discussions, and yet innocent people are still being put to death by the machinery of the state. At this point we're just tired of it.
For the innocent victims of the death penalty, I imagine it feels like a regime. Like an inscrutable, bureaucratic behemoth, unable to change course even in the face of logic. It's inhumane, it's unreasonable. It's a regime - an immovable set of arbitrary rules where no single individual has to take responsibility, and no individual human being's decision can save you, even if you're innocent. It's a regime.

It absolutely does, my friend. It's called the analemma.

Fair play to you for posting that many comments. You're putting the actual work in to make this place interesting. The best thing about you in my opinion, as opposed to a lot of active posters (here and elsewhere) is that you often disagree with the hive mind, and you stick to your guns. And I've seen you, on more than one occasion, actually, publicly change your fucking mind when you were presented with a persuasive argument. Lemmy, the Fediverse, and internet discussion in general, needs more like you. (Even if you were wrong about that one thing that time).
To your health, Mr. Squid!
